wake me up when it's all over (open)

[rejoined]

The last thing Jadzia expected after her wedding was to get whisked off somewhere. Well, no, she expected the Chief and Julian to play their part and "attack" the happy couple, but she definitely didn't expect to open her eyes after the first volley to find herself somewhere else entirely. She blinks warily. Usually, when this happens nothing good comes of it. Or, well, okay getting tossed back to the Kirk's timeline had been fun, even if they were trying to save him from a tribble-bomb. She could have done without getting stuck in 2024 though.

So here she is, walking the hallways cautiously. She's already asked the computer to tell her what ship this is and the answer was most definitely not comforting. Eventually, she ends up in Ten Forward, where she knows she'll find someone happy to give her answers. At least she'll be gathering attention very quickly with what she's wearing.

Little does she know her Klingon wedding dress might garner even more attention than she expects.

"I don't know, sorry." He hadn't gotten that information, being distracted by family issues.

"He's still around, though. You could probably ask the crew for more details."

Jadzia gives him a wry smile. "Well, thanks anyway," she says. It's helpful to have heard anything at all, even if it wasn't perfectly helpful. At least she knows.

"I don't think I got your name, though." Dax had gotten distracted.

Booker offered his hand. "I'm Booker DeWitt. Nice to meet you, for the first time, mostly." He grinned, because the situation was a little ridiculous, as time travel things always were.

"Nice too meet you, too," Jadzia says wryly as she shakes his hand. "I hope I don't give you too much trouble in the future."

Booker shook his head. "No. No trouble. Far to the opposite, madame." His eyes sparkled as he grinned at her.

"There was a blind date, and perhaps some alcohol involved..."

[rejoined]

The term "blind date" actually tells Jadzia more than she had expected. It tells her that this man doesn't know Jadzia; he knows Dax. There's no way Jadzia would go on a blind date with anyone now that she's married. Unless Worf ends up dying. The alternative is that Booker knows Dax after Jadzia's death.

She isn't really sure she likes either option.

Still, she manages a smile. "I'm glad it was fun for you, but I think I need to step outside, take a little time to figure this out. Thanks for the information. Maybe we'll see each other again. Before that blind date," she jokes.

Booker nodded slowly, observing the change in her. He smiled lopsidedly, and nodded to her.

"Of course. If you ever have any questions, let me know."

He rose, and hesitated, then a serious look hit his face. "And Jadzia... be careful out there. You are, and always will be, a remarkable person."

[rejoined]

Jadzia gazes at him oddly, unable to quite parse out everything he means in that phrase. "Thank you," she offers after a beat, to everything he has said to her. She will certainly be keeping this in mind.

Booker nodded, then turned and left, determined to go find Ezri. This day had become a very odd one.
