* So this is the start of a multi-chapter fic. I'm not sure how many chapters yet as I haven't got them all planned out. I will try and update regularly but I'm at university of things can change fast. I hope you like it. Once again I do not own anything from Agents of Shield or the characters. *

Skye sat up slowly rubbing her aching head. It felt like she had been thrown around for hours with the headache she was experiencing. Moving her arms to rub her head she became aware of her clothing. It had changed. Last time she could remember she had been in jeans and a top. Now she was in a dress. Not even a normal dress. This was an old fashioned, long sleeved floor length dress, with a corset bodice. It was the kind of thing she would wear to a costume party or would see on people cosplaying Merlin.

Glancing around she realised she didn't recognise where she was. Last she could remember she was in New York. Now there was no city that could be seen around. In fact it looked like no place she had been on earth. All that she could see was a dirt track and fields. There were hills in the distance that could hide a city but they were a good distance away.

"How did I get here?" asked Skye aloud. Where was the rest of her team? They wouldn't just leave her. But how did she get here and why couldn't she remember much?

A movement behind her caused her to jump to her feat. Spinning around she noticed her SO sitting up from ground, where he had been lying down like her. His clothes had been changed as well, leaving him in what appeared to be a tunic and leggings. Although he looked good in, he could look good in most clothes, Skye couldn't supress a giggle. He did look ridiculous, not that she could really talk. She was so going to use this once they had figured out what was going on.

"Ward are you ok?" Skye asked moving over to crouch down beside him. He was looking around confused and looked like he was in pain like she was.

"Skye. Are you ok? Do you know where we are or what happened?"

"No. I just woke up. I'm fine apart from a kicking headache. Last I remember we were in New York. The next thing I know I wake up on the ground here and my clothes have changed. So have your apparently."

Ward looked at her in concern. "You don't remember anything either. I have no idea where we are. It doesn't look like there is much around here either."

"Yeah. I noticed. We could always follow the road. Those hills over there may be hiding a city."

Ward just looked at her. She knew she was being optimistic but what else could she do? Panicking wouldn't help and they couldn't just stay here. There was no water and they had no food. They needed to do something and heading that way seemed like the best idea. Everything in the other direction was flat as far as the eye could see. Going that way wasn't going to help them any. Before she could think of any retort, a noise could be heard coming from the hills. It was very faint but it sounded like it was coming towards them. With a glance at Ward, Skye moved back away from the road, knowing that danger could be coming their way. It wouldn't be upon them for a while but in this flat landscape there was nowhere to hide. They needed to prepare now if they were to be ready by time it was upon them.

"Has anyone seen Ward or Skye? I've been looking for them all over the bus." Coulson asked the rest of the team who had gathered in the kitchen and were preparing food.

"Skye wanted to go visit some sites in New York. Ward agreed to take her as long as they picked up some supplies he needed. They should be back soon. I didn't mind as long as they were back before we needed to take off and they had their phones in case we got a mission." Replied May, not glancing up from the sandwich she was making.

"OK. That explains the silence then."

"Did you need them for something Sir?" asked Simmons.

"Not really. Just some new information about training for them. It's not urgent. It's nice that they are spending some time together outside of the missions. Hopefully it will cut down on their arguing." Seeing the whole team look at him in disbelieve, he shrugged his shoulders slightly and headed back towards his office. "Well I can live in hope!"

A few hours later

The sound of movement was getting closer and closer. Skye and Ward had constructed a shelter to get them out of the sun and hopefully provide some protection from whatever was moving towards them. Well, Ward had built it. Skye had soon found out that moving around in this dress was not easy. As she had sat watching Ward build their shelter she had time to think about what was happening. She wondered if it was another of Fitzsimmons' pranks. They had been quiet recently and if they had got May and Coulson involved then this was something that they could have pulled off.

Sighing she glanced up wondering whether she should mention her suspicions to Ward. He had been very quiet since starting to build the shelter and she didn't think it would go down well with him if it was a prank. Just as she was about to voice her thoughts, her SO ducked into the shelter and pushed her down to the floor. Whoever was coming was clearly nearly on top of them. Sounds of horses stopping could be heard just outside the shelter.

"Excuse me? I was wondering if you could help me? I am looking for some people." A voice called from outside.

Glancing at Skye, Ward indicated for her to stay put and slowly eased himself outside. Skye crawled to the opening so she could watch what was happening. The man outside was dressed like Ward in a tunic and leggings, with what appeared to be a sword strapped to his waste. Seeing Ward emerge he began speaking again.

"You would not happen to be Sir Ward?" At Ward's startled look he took that as confirmation. "I'm glad I found you. The rest of your party arrived safely but said you and your lady had been separated. I was sent out to find you and escort you to safety." This just confirmed Skye's suspicions. It was all a set up by Fitzsimmons. No one spoke like that anymore and who would call Ward sir?

Ignoring Ward's instructions she made her way out to join the men. She now could see that the guy had dismounted and was stood beside two horses.

"This is a joke isn't it? Fitzsimmons put you up to this." Ignoring the annoyed look from Ward she moved to stand beside him. It didn't pass her notice that Ward shifted slightly to ensure she was behind him and further away from the stranger.

"I'm sorry my lady, I do not know this Fitzsimmons you speak off. As I said I was asked to find Sir Ward and escort him back. As that is you might we begin proceed to the castle. It is not a safe area to be caught at night." Ward and Skye shared a look at this and silently agreed to go with the man. There was nothing around for miles and going with him might lead them to understand what was actually happening.

With a nod at the man, Ward led Skye over to the horses. It suddenly occurred to Skye that as there were only two horses she would have to ride with someone. She glanced across at Ward, who was still keeping his body between her and the stranger, and saw that the thought had occurred to him as well.

"Good I'm glad that we got this sorted and I found you quickly. I would have hated for anything to have happened to you Sir Ward. Or your wife."

"WIFE?" exclaimed Ward and Skye.

* So yeah I left it on a cliffhanger. Sorry. :-) Please leave reviews if you wish. *
