I sit in front of my basket of fries and twirl one in my fingers casually, my head resting in my other hand and I let out a huge sigh.

It's been like, months, and I think I finally have realized that Spike has...

I let out a sniffle.

...dumped me.

Not like, dumped, cause I mean, I'm not like that. But I mean dumped he found better friends to

"Hey Sam." Appearing in the wall of the diner I walked through it as though it were nothing. Which it actually was nothing to me. "Welcome to New Metropolis." I took a seat opposite him in the booth, eying the half chewed french fry laying on his plate.

"How's the food?" Real deep fried american food, something I sorely missed in the future. The food didn't hold my attention for long as a waitress with a skirt the size of a postage stamp walked past. "Place with a view, I like this leap already."

"New Metropolis? Was there an old Metropolis?"

I sit with a rather deadpan look as Al makes his comment about the waitress. No matter where in history we may go, Al always finds a girl too oogle.

"So what can you tell me? Who and where am I? Judging from what I've gathered so far, this guy seems to have very little to do on his weekends."

"That swiss cheese brain of yours must be getting worse. Metropolis? Greatest city in the world. Until it was destroyed along with Superman." Sometimes I really did worry that all this leaping was slowly tearing his mind apart.

"Right. Andrew Wells." I lifted my handheld closer to my face as it beeped and whirred. Ziggy was having a hell of a time calculating what this leap was all about.

"Apparently you graduated from Sunnydale High, no record of employment. Just some memberships to the Star Trek fan club. Order of the Jedi?" I slapped the side of the handheld as it beeped angrily at me. "Watchers Council? Ziggy are you getting a virus?" Sighing I put the device away under my coat.

"This one might take a while to figure out. From what I'm reading, I'd bet your here to get this kid a life." The waitress passed by again and my head swiveled to follow. "Maybe you should start by getting her number."

"I doubt I was sent here to score this kid some lady friends. I'd really like to make sure that these leaps don't turn into an inter-history dating service, cause I feel like that's outside of my expertise."

I sigh.

"Besides, I'm married. It's been awhile since I've done the dating thing and I can't say that I would be any better than this kid at scoring dinner and a movie. I'm definitely out of practice."

Of course, that wasn't entirely true, I was just hoping Al's memory wasn't as good as mine. Sure I've had some Leap flings in the past, but the truth is they were in much more capable bodies than this one.

Not to mention it was still hard thinking about my wife. Who I couldn't really be with...

...because of all this.

"Is there anything pertinent going on in the city at the moment that I need to know about?"
