Enjoy. :smiley:
Time Heals All Wounds
Part 1
Sam never realized just how great he would feel after sharing his "secret" with Emma. It was more than a burden lifted off his shoulders...it was a breath of fresh air, a push to move forward with life like he needed to. Emma was more understanding and accepting of the situation than he ever thought anyone would be and that was a great comfort to him. When she left his home that day he assured her that he wouldn't forget about another one of their performances.
"Oh, there will be more?" Emma asked.
"Of course!" Sam replied in surprise that she would ask such a thing. "We're a great duo, you and I."
Emma blushed and turned her face away, trying to hide it.
"Umm...I mean..." Sam said, stepping on his words and scratching his head, "We make a great singing duo." He smiled.
"I know what you meant," Emma said with a smile in return.
When they said their parting goodbyes and Emma started toward her car, Sam called back, "Hey Emma."
She stopped and turned.
He couldn't have her leave without saying it. "You DO measure up to those other girls," he paused, "in some ways even more."
A bright smile appeared on Emma's face and it made her look radiant to Sam.
"Thanks Sam," she said, hiding her blushing again and walked at a faster pace back to her car.
Sam chuckled lightly as he watched her and waved while she disappeared down the road.
*****************
A few days later, Al appeared to Sam with some news from Ziggy.
"Alright," Sam said, taking in a breath and bracing himself for whatever Ziggy had to say, "Give it to me straight Al. I'm ready."
Al gave him an odd look. "What am I your doctor?" he asked, with the cigar nearly falling out of his mouth. "You're not dying Sam!" He caught the cigar with his two fingers and looked down at the Handlink, pushing a few buttons.

"Ok..." Al began, "Ziggy has confirmed what we already know: Your entire being has leaped into another world, another galaxy."
"Yes."
"And she believes that you're here to do the same thing during your leaps on Earth: Put right what once went wrong." He chuckled. "I guess no one is smart enough here to time travel."
Sam wasn't amused and just bit his bottom lip. "Interesting..." he began, "So, that means I might leap into other persons in this world."
Lowering the Handlink, Al replied, "She's not 100% sure about that."
Figures.
"It's certainly a given."
"But if I do leap into someone else Al...will I," he shuddered to think about it, "return back here? To Hidden Springs?"
A frown came upon Al's face as he saw Sam's. "We don't really know Sam," he admitted, "that isn't what happened before...you just kept leaping into more and more people...until we found a way to bring you home," he paused, looking down, " and you know how that was going."
Placing his hands on his hips, trying to control his emotions, Sam expressed, "It would seem to me that showing up here, as myself...I've been given a whole new life. This place is my home. So...if I happen to leap into other people from different cities or in the past or whatever...I SHOULD be able to make it back here right?"
Al's eyebrows raised as he c'oc'k'ed his head from side to side. That certainly made sense.
"Cause I'm obviously not heading back to Earth, right!?"
Al nodded in agreement.
"Right!?" Sam asked again, but didn't wait for the reply, "I can't keep doing this Al...leaping away from the people I love...doomed to never see them again." He lowered his head sadly. He never thought he'd grow to love this place so much, or the people in it. "I pray God knows that. I've been here for almost three years...I can't--"
"I know kid," Al said in a comforting tone, "we'll figure it out. I promise."
Sam smiled in gratitude.
Looking back at the lego-like item in his hand, Al changed the subject and informed Sam, "It took Ziggy forever to find any info on the history and people of this world however...she did manage to find out a big reason why you might've been sent here to Hidden Springs," Al said, reading the info on the Handlink now. Sam stepped closer to him to get a better look.
(Ok, this QL pic doesn't exactly fit in the scenario, but good golly we need a picture here! :lol: )
The print was always so small on the Handlink that Sam could never make it out. He wondered how Al could, especially with those old eyes of his.
Pushing a few more buttons, Al said, "You're here to stop a--," the link beeped so Al smacked it, "a Emmaline Rhoen from continuing her proclaimed 'all natural healing' medical practice."
"Oh I already know about her," Sam informed Al, "glad to hear that my suspicions have been confirmed."
"Apparently," Al continued, "TEN people have died as a result of her "care." Ziggy isn't sure if Emmaline is aware of that, but if she is," he looked up at Sam, "I'm guessing, with her still in practice, she might have threatened the victim's families to keep quiet."
"Or...what?" Sam asked.
Al shrugged. "I guess that's something you need to find out."
Sam sighed, squeezing his forehead with his fingers. "Oh boy..."
Al chuckled. "I miss hearing you say that."
Sam just shook his head at the comment, but then something occurred to him. "Al," he started, the thought causing a worried feeling in the pit of his stomach, "If that's what I was sent here to do...then," he gulped, "I might leap when it's done." He faced Al now, the anxiety setting in. "Al, I can't! I've grown too attached--" he couldn't finish.

"I know Sam."
"If only I'd known about that sooner...I wouldn't have gotten so close to so many people!"
"But Sam you gotta stop that woman...because Ziggy says about thirty percent of the population visit her regularly."
"Thirty!?" Sam cried in shock. "That can't be right!"
"Well," Al shrugged, "Ziggy's numbers could be off. Like I said, it was difficult for her to get information on this side of the Universe. No matter what the numbers are Sam you HAVE to stop her! People's lives depend on it!"
Sam stood up straight, like a soldier ready to accept his mission, though deep down he didn't really want to. "Ok...I'll do it."
Al held the cigar to his mouth, drew in a bit of smoke and blew it out while observing Sam. He wouldn't make eye contact with him and was clearly trying not to break down. Once again, he wished he could pat his friend's back for comfort. "I know this isn't easy for you Sam," he said.
"No, Al...I really don't think you DO!"
"Perhaps not."
"You and Gushie and everyone else back at the Project just figure out a way to leap me back HERE if/when I happen to leap into someone else so I can live out the rest of my life in peace!"
"Sam...I dunno if we really can. You know that it's ultimately up to God/fate/t--"
"GOD/FATE/TIME/WHATEVER, Yeah, I get it Al!" Sam snapped, "but just figure out something ok!"
Getting heated himself, Al said, "Well then, I suggest you do some research here as well and get back with us since you're the expert on this whole thing!"
"Fine, I will!"
"Fine!"
"But first," Sam paused, heading for the front door, "I'm going to enjoy myself for the next few days. Take in what I can. The Summer Festival is almost over and I've been wanting to go check it out before the Fall."
Shaking his head, Al didn't push the Rhoen matter any further. He pushed a few buttons on the Handlink and disappeared.
To be continued....
:)
**I do hope all of that made sense...especially to those of you who aren't familiar with the show. I'm not sure how to figure out what's going to happen after Part 2, but....I know it will eventually come to me. ;)
Enjoy. :smiley:
