A bitter wind whipped at the scarf that was tied around the neck of a young girl as she gazed upon the countless buildings that lined the landscape. The young girl was a recent graduate of high school and was looking to begin college. She had a few prospects that she was considering but the one that she was about the tour was the most promising prospect. The girl tighten her scarf to protect against the bitter cold wind and proceeded to look around. She was supposed to meet a friend who would take her to the Campion Union Build where she would meet the tour group but her friend was nowhere to be found.

“Perhaps they are late” came a voice from her pocket.

The girl continued to look around the gripping feeling of fear and helpless began to take hold in her mind. She was not use to being in a city with a lot of people, she was use to being a small town with little to no people. Sensing his friend’s distress a small angelic creature emerged from the girl’s coat pocket.

“Retrace calm down” said the angelic creature “It is going to be okay, perhaps your friend is just late”

“Right” said Retrace “We are still in the middle of the semester perhaps they are late coming from class”

“Right” said the angelic creature “We should just wait here for a few more minutes for your friend”

Retrace nodded in agreement and proceeded to wait for a few more minutes. As she
waited a fleeting thought went through her head. What if her friend did not arrive, what would she do then? The only thing that she could think of was finding the Compton Union Building herself. She did have a map of the campus and was not beyond asking some of the students on campus for directions if she got lost. She gazed at her watch and the time read 13:35. It was obvious to Retrace that her friend was not going to show up. She sighed and shuffled her backpack off her back and set it on the ground. She proceeded to open it up and take the campus map out of the bag and then zip the bag up and place it back on her back.

“Looks like we are on our own here” said Retrace

“I am sorry” said the angelic companion

“It is not your fault Cupimon” said Retrace “I figured something like this would happen”

“How much time do we have?” asked Cupimon

“Well the tour starts at 2:10 so we have about 35 minutes to find the Compton Union Building” replied Retrace

“Depending on how things go we might be cutting it close”

“Indeed, so let’s begin”

Unfolding the map, Retrace proceeded to study it for a few minutes to figure out where she was and the best route to get to her destination. Once she was satisfied with the route she selected she began to move out.

Jennifer walked out through the busy crowds with her partner resting in the top part of her backpack. But she had a good smile on her face as she looked about at the buildings, and all the new faces she didn't recognize. While she might not have looked all that much older than back then, she did have her hair dyed black to help her look different, and she put on a set of glasses that made her look a bit more geeky, but didn't affect her vision. It was enough to make her look like a different person from what she usually does.

She looked up at one of the clocks on the building, and sighed a bit. She wondered if she'd do well to get back into school after so long. Sure she'd had some help getting ready for it again, but she still remembered what had happened to her so long ago when she'd been taken away from her life and used as a lab experiment. As she was getting lost in thought, she suddenly bumped into another girl with a map in her hands.

She looked surprised as she stepped back and looked at the girl she'd bumped into and said, "Ahhh! I'm sorry! I must not have been paying attention!"
