The elevator stopped with a pleasant 'ding', and Abby strolled out, into a carpeted hallway with doors lined on either end. She glanced at the key she had been given, checking the room number, and followed a series of little signs until she stood in front of their room. Inside, two large, fluffy-looking beds were backed against a wall. Abby nodded appreciatively at the wide-screen TV opposite them as she strode into the room. She stopped on the other end, in front of a tall window.

Her heart leapt as she glanced downward.

Abby had been to the city a few times before, but rarely did she stop long enough to appreciate just how tall some of the buildings really were. People moved along the streets below, appearing as little more than specks. In the distance, Abby spotted a few neighborhoods that looked like they were pulled from different times and places throughout history. Was that a [i]pyramid[/i]? This city was far stranger than she had expected!

"Take a look," she said, unable to keep all of her awe from her voice.
