Bridge shuffles into the library, clinging to his cup of coffee like a lifeline.

Fifth Period

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge has a stack of recently-returned books that he's putting back on the shelves now. Every so often he gets sidetracked and starts flipping through the books he's supposed to be reshelving. Dork.

Naomi came into the library after lunch looking for more books to read. She needed something to keep her distracted until she talked to her father on Friday and to make sure that it was definite her mother was returning from Bajor that weekend and she found reading was always good for that.

"Hey," Bridge waves. "I don't think I've met you yet."

Naomi waved in response, "I'm Naomi Wildman,"

"Bridge Carson," he says with a grin. "Good to meet you. Looking for anything in particular? Can I help?"

"I'm not really sure what I'm after," Naomi replied, "something that's a good reading book for distraction I guess,"

Re: Fifth Period

Bridge thinks. "Um, most of my favourite distraction-type books haven't been written yet. But- a bunch of people seem to like the Angelica Demesnes books," he offers.

"That sounds good," Naomi replied, "I haven't read any of those yet. Yeah I know what you mean about favourite books not being written,"

"You're from the future too?" Bridge guesses.

Re: Fifth Period

"The year 2380," Naomi nodded

"2021 for me," Bridge says. "So not quite as far as you. I was born last year, actually. But there's still something of a generation gap between me and most of the people here, when it comes to all the pop culture stuff."

Re: Fifth Period

"I'm not born until another few hundred years, which makes my head hurt but I find it best not to think about it," Naomi said, "the culture from where I come from is completely different to here,"

"It's a bit of an adjustment, isn't it?" Bridge says. "I've been here a year and I still find it weird that Earth doesn't have interstellar travel yet."

Re: Fifth Period

"I know," Naomi agreed, "the first interstellar flight that took place in my Earth was 2063, which resulted in first contact so it's weird not seeing star ships and shuttles flying around,"

"In my timeline, Earth- or at least, certain *parts* of Earth, I guess, has *known* about life on other planets since 1993, and the United States sent a colony ship out in 1999. Nobody else from this time's ever even *heard* of Terra Venture though." Bridge says with a frown. "Which means I think I'm from a really, really different alternate reality than most people."

Re: Fifth Period

"I haven't heard of Terra Venture," Naomi replied, "but then I haven't met anybody who's heard of Voyager, or the Delta Quadrant, or Ktarians or Starfleet, I think I'm the only person from my reality,"
