The anomaly had the inconvenience to appear in a park just outside of London, near Shoreditch. Luckily they caught it before anything came through, but it was very public.

Fifteen minutes after the alert, the team passed through the makeshift barrier the troops had put up and into the park.

"Anything come through yet?" Danny asked, as Connor began setting up the equipment to close the anomaly.

"Just a dog, sir," said the soldier.

"A dog?" Danny said, nonplussed.

"You mean a doglike mammal, maybe from the eocene?" Connor interjected.

"No, I mean a dog," the soldier said, looking at them as if they had grown extra heads which were all saying nonsense. "Kind of looks like a bulldog or something. It's over there." He gestured to an area with a low fence.

The 'dog' sat against the wall. it eyed them warily as they approached. Abby crouched down near it, looking it over. It did look like a bulldog. He smelled Abby's hand intently, and then licked it.

"Well Abby?" Danny asked.

"It's definitely a bulldog, but judging by how mangy it looks, and it's teeth, it can't be be from modern times." she concluded.

"So this is another anomaly that opens up to human history." said Connor.

"I'd say so," said Abby. "Guys, I think this is one of the first bulldogs. Hah, dog breeders would give an arm and a leg for this fellow," she said as she scratched under his chin.

"What date does that put us at?"

"sixteenth or seventeenth century, yeah?" said Connor. Abby nodded.

“Connor, call Sarah. I don’t think it could hurt to look around a little through the anomaly.”



When Sarah showed up, she was wearing a skirt with an underbust corset, a collared vest, and a full white shirt. Her hair was put up into a bun on her head.

“You look fancy,” said Becker, with a grin.

“I look like I belong in the 16th century,” she retorted. She looked over the other members of the team.

“Sorry Abby, but your hair will get you arrested. Connor, you might work, except for that band t-shirt. Try this one,” she said, throwing him a long sleeved black tunic. “Your pants are tight enough they’ll think they’re tights.” she turned to Danny, looked him up and down, and said. “Give Connor your boots.”

“What? Why?”

“Because his trainers are a dead giveaway, but your boots will work.”

“But why can’t I go?”

“Sorry Danny, but acid wash jeans and plaid are not remotely Elizabethan.”



When they came back through the anomaly three hours later, they were grinning from ear to ear, and couldn’t stop babbling.

“What do you guys think you’re playing at?” asked Danny crossly. “You were supposed to come back through two hours ago!”

“Sorry, we got distracted,” said Sarah breathlessly. “We went through, and we got into town, and there were these posters everywhere.” She reached into her pocket and withdrew a folded piece of paper. She handed it to Danny, who opened it. Becker and Abby looked on over his shoulder.

“No way,” Abby breathed.

“Seriously?” Danny asked, looking up from the playbill, which discussed the premiere show of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

“It was a lot different the first time around,” said Connor, beaming.

I approve this ficlet. Wholeheartedly. Thank you dear.

I love that Sarah comes already dressed, like she knew this day would come and already had attire ready, like Batman.
