Alain decided he had a great deal higher probability of staying sane during his twenty-year reign as emperor, if he went into the past and chose his own brother/best friend. He liked the configuration of the time ship, a red 1963 Corvette, did a bit of research on the period and chose the date in 1964. He noted the setting hadn't been explored, just visited. He liked that too.
"Fat, weird Gordan" didn't know why the movie-star-looking guy seemed to have decided they were going to be friends, but he kept calling him "man" and he definitely liked that.
Mac laughed at herself when she began working on a way to fit her age into the conversation. She knew how young she looked. She wasn't sure why, but she'd collected lost puppies, before, and the pair were as cute as any of those.
