“To our new home, honey. The moon.” The vehicle blasted off and the extreme pressure that was experienced by the astronauts was practically non-existent in this time frame. I saw the Earth shrink and the moon enlarge. The vehicle came to a landing and we exited. We were inside a tunnel lover’s paradise. As long as you weren’t claustrophobic, you were okay, I guess. The moving sidewalk took us to an apartment complex, which we went inside.

“Good afternoon.” A robot behind the desk said. “How may I help you?”

“Hello. My husband and I would like room 215.”

“And your names please.”

“Carrie and Adam Schofield.”

“Thank you, madam. Have a nice day.’ Carrie reached down and picked a card out of a slot. We went to the elevator, arms around each other, since that was the custom.

“Has the male species been overruled by the female?”

“Almost. You know. I don’t think it was always this way.”

“I should hope not.”

“No, I think it’s one of the Double D’s time rips.”

“Well, I’m the head of this family!” I said.

“Here we are, darling. You use this card in this slot to open the door.” The door slid opened and we walked inside. This room looked even more futuristic than the one in the lab.

“I have one question.”

“What is that?”

“Well, if I’m stuck here for longer than I’m needed, will I age?”

“Huh?”

“Well, how will you return me to the age I was in my time?”

“I don’t know. We had better ask Ryan.”

“Where is he?”

“He was in the lobby.”

“Oh. I’ll go talk to him.” I said, going down the elevator. Arriving at the bottom floor I posed the same question.

“Here.” He said, giving me a spray in the shoulder. “This will not let you age for a year. Hopefully you’ll be done here by then.”

“I won’t age!”

“Yes, but only for a year. This drug can only work once.”

“Oh, so everyone here is one year older than they really are?”

“No, just the ones who can afford it.”

“Well, thanks.” I said.

“Take this also,” He said, handing me a small gadget.

“What’s this?”

“Use it if you need to get me.”

“Oh. Okay, see you around.”

“Hopefully not. Carrie will fill you in on who the rest of your contacts are.” Ryan stated, leaving. I went back to my room and entered, using the card. Carrie had changed out of the clothes that she had came in. She was wearing a cotton like pair of pants with a mini-skirt over top. The mini-skirt was connected to a full suit that went all the way up to her shoulders where it ended giving full view from her shoulders to her neck, and v-necked like a v-necked sweater.
