As dimensions swirl around each other, important links are made within a given dimension that are so strong that even in parallel dimensions the link exists, even without the factors that linked it.
So it was that a little boy was led into the classroom. He had dark skin (think Indian) and big brown eyes. He wore a white t-shirt and blue jeans, with a ski-cap style hat on his head. He also had goggles on his head, but they weren't on his eyes. He carried a toy water gun that - his mother had made sure of this before they
left - was completely empty of any liquid.
His mother bent down and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Now, you be good, Jex. I'll come and pick you up when school's over."
Jex made a face. "And when's
that gonna be, mom?"
"In a few hours."
"How many is a few?"
"Jex, don't start with me."
"I'm not, I'm just trying to figure out how long I have to spend with the masses. I'm much too smart to be here, you know."
Seriya sighed. "Yes, Jex. I know you're smart for your age-"
"I'm clinically genius."
"Yes, I know. Just remember that you got those genes from me, and I'm smarter than you are."
"That's because you're older."
"Of course. Now be good, play with the other kids."
"The other kids can't even read yet."
"
JEXINAIR PAREN ANRES, YOU LISTEN TO YOUR MOTHER."
"All right, all right. I'll play with them."
"Good boy."
