Stay together

Though Sarah and John had diverging interests they eventually settled on attempting to learn their spell craft first. Making their way across town to the Mage Guild, they began to talk about the absurdity of their situation.

“What exactly do you think this thing is?” inquired John absently.

“Which thing?” ask Sarah cocking an inquisitive eyebrow.

“This… this world,” John attempted to explain, unsure what to call it.

“I don’t know. May be a holo-deck of some sort,” Miss Sorayama hypothesized.

John stuck his tongue in his cheek and thought for moment. “I thought about that but where would the projector have come from?” he stopped walking. “What about a dream world like the replicators made for SG-1?”

Sarah shrugged, “I was not much of a Stargate fan.”

“Oh,” sighed John, “Uh how about the Rift/Ribbon thing from, Star Trek: Generations?”

“Try more like Voyager.” Sarah grinned sheepishly.

“Ugh,” John gagged. “I can’t stand Janeway.”

Sarah mockingly slapped John, “I liked her. Plus, Chakotey was hot.”

John shot Sarah a sideways, “You are so very much not winning me over.”

“7 of 9 was hot, no?” Sarah proffered.

John cocked half a smile and looked away. “Granted, but not hot enough to justify suffering through seven seasons of Janeway.”

“Oh come on! She is not bad, she is a tough woman commanding a ship. Is that your problem you can’t stand a woman coming out on top?” demanded Sarah, as she stopped in the street. She put her fists on her hips and stared with killing eyes at John.

“It doesn’t matter who’s on top as long as they what they are doing,” argued John.

“Define what knowing what you’re doing.” Sarah gave John a look he could not decipher.

“Have you seen that remake of Battlestar: Galactica?” Sarah nodded. “Well, think about the President/kindergarten.”

Sarah asked, “You think she is a good example?”

“Well… yeah.”

The rest of the trip was a quiet one. Much to their disappointment when they arrived they discovered a note stabbed to the door. It read, “we apologize for the inconvenience, but we are closed due to an acute case of vrock infestation.
