The Library

Janet was slightly out of breath from running across town to get to the school and open the library on time. And to get coffee while on the way.

"Well, if it's anything like my time on Atlantis, there could be an almost kidnapping and an actual kidnapping," Elizabeth suggested, forcing an element of lightness into her voice. "Sorry."

"That's better than what it could be," said Janet quietly. "And it would certainly bring a few things to the forefront."

"Hey," Elizabeth stepped forward and gently rested a hand on Janet's shoulder. "We're thinking happy thoughts right now. No depressing yourself."

"Sorry," said Janet. She shrugged, one shoulder raising and dropping quickly. "Happy is good. Much better than the alternative. So how does the kidnapping get resolved painlessly?"

Elizabeth grinned. "If you're me the second time, you talk yourself out of it," she said.

"You just would," said Janet. "So I would've been doing all that worrying for nothing?"

"Well, I was tied to a chair and blindfolded the entire time," Elizabeth shrugged. "And you wouldn't have had to worry that long. It wasn't days or anything."

A shadow passed briefly over her face, but she pushed those memories away.

"Happy thoughts, remember?" asked Janet, taking Liz's hand again. "And I don't think the length of time would have made a difference on the level of worrying."

Elizabeth nodded, and squeezed Janet's hand again. "Happy thoughts," she agreed, nodding firmly. "But at least the worrying will have been for less time. Which is something."

"I'm sure that our reunion would have been a very happy thing," said Janet, smiling. "It is something, yes. So how would the reunion go, do you think?"

Elizabeth grinned. "I'm thinking so too," she nodded. She moved even closer to Janet, bumping hips. "Well, unfortunately the initial reunion will have to be very subdued as they're likely to be in a public place."

"It would probably be very professional," said Janet, smiling a little as Liz moved closer to her. "I'm sure I'd have to ascertain your state of health. But I'd probably show up to your quarters later, just to really make sure you were okay."

"I'd like that," Elizabeth said softly. "And you know, I don't think I'd want to spend the night alone, given that I'd just been locked up in a room by myself."

"I'm sure that, as a doctor, I'd feel it was my duty to stay the night with you," said Janet. "To mitigate any negative effects and to monitor your health. And because that's the sort of thing you do for a friend."

"I can see that happening," Elizabeth nodded seriously. "And if there was a potential head injury involved, that would mean that I wouldn't be allowed to sleep, correct?"

"Not for lengthy periods of time," said Janet, nodding seriously as well. "I'd probably have to find a way to wake you up every hour."

"Every hour, huh?" Elizabeth thought about it. "Well, I'm sure you'd have some idea how to make all those repeated wakings as pleasant as they can be."

"I'm sure I could think of a few things," said Janet. "Would we both have realized how we feel by now?"

"I'm sure if we hadn't, this could have been a bit hint," Elizabeth suggested.

"Knowing us, I'm sure this was the hint," said Janet. "That's good, though, right?"

"Well, yes. Any hint that works is good," Elizabeth nodded. "I'm sure we can have a night of discussion and, um, explore our options that night."

"It would certainly keep you awake," said Janet, smiling. "And I'd do anything for a friend. Including explore our options together."

"It appears that it will be a very fruitful night," Elizabeth nodded. "Perhaps slightly busy, but I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem for us."

"I like this alternate universe," said Janet, a little wistfully. "It sounds very enjoyable."

"It does," Elizabeth sighed. She looked at Janet. "You know, if we changed a few details, I'm free tonight..."
