Miyuki had gotten off the plane in Denver and looked at a road map about 35 minutes ago. She knew she could have taken a bus to the town of Kent which she'd been told to be at but it might have meant she would have been late an besides she wanted to run after her long flight and confinement at airports.

She knew that she most likely had startled several people as she passed their autos on the highway at nearly the speed of sound but she didn't care. She loved America because of it's wide-open spaces which promised her ample running room. 

She didn't just boil into the town figuring that to do so would have been a bit too far so she ran cross-country careful to avoid homes and people till she got to the edge of town and called a cab to deliver her to her final destination.

She was early to the location described in the E-mail she'd received but that was the way she liked it. So after paying the cabbie she grabbed her pack an headed down to the river munching on a power bar to replenish her calories so she would pass out while meeting those people she hoped could help her.

Near the river was the Willow that had also been mentioned in the E-mail and by it stood a boy with a brightly colored Mohawk who could either be a local or someone else looking for the special school or both. Having no safe way of finding out which it was Miyuki decided that it would be better to wait by the water and found a large rock to have an impromptu picnic while she waited.

Elliot had been enjoying her bus ride through the mountains and looking at the beautiful scenery till she went involuntarily Retro.

It was a huge surprise because she hadn't been using her power during the entire trip and it's regression was more powerful than she normally experienced because the bus and even the paved road disappeared. 

She was flying about six feet above a rutted dirt road that was little more than a path winding between the mountains around her and as she was trying to figure out what year it was she overtook what appeared to be about four wagons drawn by six oxen each This was a clue that whenever this was it was between the 1840s to 1900 or there about. Rather than panic Elli took the chance to learn a few interesting facts about the town of Kent 

She strained to see the town ahead of her and saw that it was an active mining town that was covered in a pall of smoke generated by the people that had founded it. The wagons she'd passed were obviously carrying supplies. Then just as she was really beginning to have fun peeking into the far past she was slammed back into the present day. 

She was briefly dazzled by the alteration of her position from outside back to inside the bus.

"Miss, Miss; You asked me to tell you when we got to your stop." Said the driver from his seat as he opened the door for her.

Elliot thanked the driver and shouldered her computer bag an pulled her huge rolling luggage off with her an then stood on the side of the road  as the bus rolled away. Catching her breath for a few minutes she looked towards the town trying to recall what she'd seen an trying to see if any of the buildings she saw then were still there but couldn't tell if they were. 

Sighing she checked her watch an saw that she was on time for her odd appointment and headed for the described location.

As she got close to the tree she saw a guy with a mohawk trying hard to look out of place an it made her giggle a little. Never being one to be afraid of people she drug her big ugly bag close to the tree and said
