*updated with less mistakes thanks to Beta :D*

Alright, I've had this idea in my mind for a while now, and I love this show so I figured it would be fun.

Warning: Starts out humorous, but will get pretty different by the end - Contains some fluff, inappropriate language, classic teenage-ness, and sexual situations.

Pairings: Major CG/Luis, bits of Emily/Ethan here and there.

Pandemonium

By: StarUchiha

CG never let on just how bad the situation was in her time. Her crew knew that it was dire, but it never really came up about just how dire it was. Ethan and Emily were usually too preoccupied to even think of asking, the swell of adventure spreading through their system's almost every day. She took refuge in knowing that those two would probably never ask on their own, unless something specific got into their minds. Luis on the other hand was different. He had asked her once, after they had finished an experiment rather early in the Amazon Grasslands. She had been looking flushed, and a little overheated, and when he has asked her if she was okay she could only answer with a simple-

"It's much hotter here, than I have ever experienced in my own time."

It was then he had asked her about the conditions in the land from which she came. She froze in place, realizing then that the only thing she'd ever told any of them was that another ice age had taken over earth. He noticed her hesitation, almost surprised at it a little, and quickly excused himself to make her feel better. He hadn't brought it up again but if CG knew anything about Luis, it was that he liked answers, and not knowing was probably killing him on the inside.

Even despite how bad everything was getting in her own time, she didn't want her mission to end. After some resettling in the proper environment, she knew things would go back to the way they were. She'd become a ghost in the hall, invisible to all around, her father would practically live in his lab, and she'd once again be stuck at home alone – only the pictures of dead family members around. She would barely pass in school, the only class she'd ever do well in would be history, as it always was, and things would just be bad for her. Sure, humanity would be safe, but everything she had gained from the three 21st century teenagers she had come to love would be gone; some things would be missed more than others, however...

CG woke with a start, her body throwing itself upwards and her head hitting the ceiling above her bunk. She hissed at the pain, pushing a few stray hairs that had fallen out of her ponytail overnight behind her ear and rubbing the spot. She gratefully let the dream slip from her mind. She could barely remember it now, something about home... maybe? She could remember it, but she preferred to forget it. She hated dreaming about home, it always made her feel guilty for not finishing her mission – for not being smart enough.

She quietly jumped down from her bunk, completely unaware of the time, and walked into the bridge. She looked out the main window at the landscape of the Great Plateau, and the darkness that shrouded it. She slumped down onto the nearest chair, staring out at the darkness for a while. A few wisps of hair fell into her face as she leaned on one of her hands. The red-head pulled it back roughly, giving up when the same strands fell back into her view. Her eyes trailed the mountain peaks silently through the blackness outside. She looked up to where the moon was, noticing its position, and slumped over onto her hand even more.

The night was nowhere near over. If she had to estimate, she'd say it was about two in the morning, and thanks to some recent experiments involving the Great Plateau she knew the sun wouldn't rise for another four hours. For a second she hoped that Luis was wrong in his calculations, but she knew he wasn't. Ever since that incident where Emily was left behind, he was constantly quadruple checking his answers. He would make sure there were no more mistakes on his part, ever.

She undid her ponytail when the stray hairs in her face were becoming hard to bear. She clawed at the hair, pulling it back and lacing it up with her tie, skilfully. After so many years of doing it, it became more of an instinct than anything else. Leaning back onto her hand, her free hand typed a few keys on the control panel in front of her to look at time – 2:13. She was right.

"Ceege? Is that you?"

CG looked up at the door, and immediately recognized the figure. His height and lanky frame was hard to mistake, only less so than his voice.

"You are correct in your accusation, Luis." she said not moving from her position.

He groggily walked over and sat down on the seat beside her. CG let her hand down and leaned back into the chair's back. She smiled a little to herself when the boy beside her reflected her movements and ran a hand through his skewed hair.

"Did I wake you?" she asked, a little surprised at the hoarseness in her voice.

He nodded, "I think so. I heard you leave and thought you were attempting to fix your old crew again."

"That's improbable."

"I know, but my brain doesn't like working this early."

He looked at her for a few seconds before continuing, "Why are you up so early?"

"I really don't know."

"Bad dreams?"

Was she really that easy to read, or was that just him. She didn't think she'd ever know. "Probably," she answered.

"You look tired," his bluntness was intensified by his over-all sleepiness.

"I should be going back to bed," she observed, getting up and stretching out a bit, "We have a lot to do after the sun rises."

He chuckled, closely following her as they left the bridge, "We always have a lot to do."

"We are trying to save humanity from eminent extinction, Luis."

"I know, g'night CG."

"Good night Luis."
