Disclaimer: I do not own the Titans fictional or otherwise. Nor do I own Alexandria. I do own the characters Athena and Misty, and whoever else you don't recognize, the teachers are based on my professors and some high school teachers. I don't own any of the songs in these chapters if I use them.

My Note: Sorry the Prologue was short I'm working on getting chapter two done; I would gladly appreciate any comments especially on how to use html codes. Thank you, Angry Princess for your review, I'll try to keep this updated.

Now On with the story.

What Happened to Me?

When Athena awoke noticed that she wasn't in the archives anymore but in the middle of a big field. Wiping her eyes, she called for Misty but there was no reply. Her first thought was that she had died. So to make sure, she pinched herself, "Well, at least I'm not dead. So now where am I and how in the world did I get here." She said standing up, Looking around she noticed a house off in the distance with three people standing there. Looking around at her surroundings she noticed that this was not the Alexandria that she had come from. That's when she noticed a young girl walk off then turn and kick one of the older men in the back of the leg before running off toward her.

Sheryl stopped short once she reached her tree, the one place where she could go to get away and think. Especially now that the board had taken away her daddy's job and gave it to some black man. But there underneath her tree stood a girl that she had never seen before, for what seemed like an eternity Athena and Sheryl stared at each other. Each wondering what to think of the other. Sheryl wondering why in the world this girl would have her hair cut short in the back but the front was almost to her chin and with tip of blue

"Who dyes their hair blue?" She thought to herself. Not only that but this girl was wearing a white peasant blouse with a black belt and flared jeans. Athena on the other hand was wondering, well she knew that this kid was a girl because of the pig tails but she didn't seem to girlie to her. Sheryl in a way reminded Athena of her younger cousin, Camara.

To break the silence Athena asked, "So what is your name? I'm new around here and really have no clue where I am."

Sheryl just looked at her like she was crazy then said, "I'm Sheryl and you are in Alexandria, Virginia. Who are you and how do you not know where you are?"

"I'm Athena Taylor. Well you see I was in the archives with my, Misty Ann, when I fell. When I woke up I was here. So this is Alexandria, what year is it?" Athena asked rubbing her head.

"It's 1971 why don't you know what year it is?" Sheryl asked looking at her all funny.

"1971, no it can't be, but if it is then that means, WOW when I left it was 2004. Well looks like I'm Dorothy." Athena said with a smile. After a few minutes the Coach joined them.

Once again Athena retold her story to the Coach, and it was decided that she would stay as his "niece". "Well, come on and let's get you some proper clothes and set you up a room." Coach Yoast said as they started to walk back up to the house.

After they cleaned out the attic, because it wouldn't seem right if Sheryl and Athena shared a room, it was time to go into town and buy Athena some proper clothes. While they were buying some dresses Athena asked Coach, "Coach why don't you stay and help out the team, if they are so important to you; you could help them with the change." She said going back to the dress rack.

"Well, I thank you for your input, Athena but I think it is time for me to go." Coach said letting her know that the subject was closed.

After they bought several dresses and skirts for Athena to wear to school they went to Hal's where Coach would be giving his good bye speech. Which didn't go over to well, many of the boys threatened to sit the season out and the parents wanted to boycott the school.

Off in the corner Athena sat with Sheryl thinking to herself, "They never told us in school, that intergrading caused this much trouble."

She couldn't help but notice that some of the guys where staring at her, nudging Sheryl on the arm she asked who the guy was with the brownish blonde hair was, turned out that he was Garry Brettier, the all American football player. She had heard about him and Julius Campbell, plus she had seen their pictures with the rest of the Titans pictures hanging up in the hallways. Sheryl was also naming off the rest of the guys on the team but Athena wasn't paying attention to those names, she was to busy staring back at Garry.

Across the room after he had made his statement Garry whispered over to Alan, "Who is that sitting with Sheryl, I've never seen her before."

"Think that is his niece or something like that." Alan said but couldn't say anymore because his father gave him one of those looks.

As Athena was walking out the door behind Coach Yoast, she was stopped by Garry, holding out his hand she said," I'm Garry Brettier, you are Coach Yoast's niece right?"

Taking his hand Athena responded, "Nice to meet you Garry, yes I'm his niece, and my name is Athena by the way." But before he had a chance to say anything to she walked off to catch up with Sheryl and Coach.

Garry just stood there watching as she walked off, he was taken out of trance when an arm a came around his shoulder, "Well, man it looks like that hippie belew you off, rude if you ask me."Ray said with hatred in his voice.

"She probably just had to hurry and get home. I'll you tomorrow Ray." Garry said as he walked off.

Later that night while Athena was up in her room looking out the window she noticed a car drive up and a black man get out, right away she knew it was Coach Boone. She had heard Sheryl try to close the door in his face but the Coach stopped her. After a few minutes she saw them walk out to his office, so she went downstairs and told Sheryl that is she wanted to know what was going on to follow her. They both reached the door in time to heard Coach decline Coach Boone's offer to stay and work under him
