Sliders: The Next Generation.

I DO NOT OWN SLIDERS!

Prologue:

The year is 2013, the Mallory House has not been lived in since 2000. Mrs. Mallory moved out, because the big house got lonely, but it was never put up for sale since she knew her son would return. She left Quinn's room exactly how it was back when he left. And one day, he would come back to her.

Ten years later, a young man moves into the neighborhood, and makes friends with some of the college students living in the area. He is a student of physics and is interested in the theory of parallel universes. He is especially enthralled with the key to solving the equation to create an Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky Bridge.

"Yeah, that's the old Mallory house, rumor has it that Quinn, Mrs. Mallory's son disappeared in the basement. Along with his girlfriend and Professor Arturo, he used to teach at Cal U. There was also this washed up singer that disappeared at the same time, but they were never connected." Sam Evans said.

"Wow! What do you think happened?" Michael Josephson said. Having just moved in, this was the first he was hearing about this.

"My personal theory?" Sam asked. "I think he was part of a government conspiracy and they abducted him."

"That's insane." Michael replied.

"Not really. What do you think happened?" Sam asked.

"I don't know, maybe he phased them onto another plane." Michael replied.

"You're watching too much Star Trek, that doesn't just happen." Sam said.

"Whatever, the abandoned house is pretty creepy." Michael said.

"You think so?" Sam asked. "I dare you to sneak into the basement. The window is slightly open, probably for the cat that used to live there."

"Fine!" Michael said, and he walked over to the gate, pulling it open, as it creaked open. "You coming?"

"Hell no! I dared you to go in!" Sam said.

"You're an ass." Michael said and walked to the basement window. He opened it and climbed in. He saw the room, which was covered with mathematical equations, and electrical components. "Wow! This place is awesome!"

He walked around and started looking at everything, nearly every paper was labeled with the words "Sliding" on it. Michael looked at the blackboard and suddenly it hit him. It was the equation to open an Einstein-Rosen-Podolsky Bridge. Michael grabbed a stack of papers and shoved it in his bag and ran out of the room. He rushed to Sam and grabbed his shoulders.

"Dude! Do you know what was in there?" Michael asked as Sam looked confused.

"What?" Sam replied.

"The key to traveling to another universe. I think that's what happened to Quinn." Michael said.

"He traveled to another universe?" Sam asked incredulously.

"Precisely!" Michael shouted and started to run down the block.

"Where are you going?" Sam shouted.

"To do what Quinn Mallory did!" Michael replied and ran to his car, to go back to his dorm room.
