Settings:

(1) (A) Apartment complex in Downey where Nolan lives.

There are 8 apartment units, four upstairs and four downstairs. There are two girls who live above him who have the hots for older Nolan, and their cousin lives in another upstairs apartment and she likes him, too. There is a tree in the courtyard, and a carport in the rear of the apartment complex.

(B) Gym where Nolan trains

It is a gym with two floors, cardio on the upper floor with a view of the buildings in downtown Los Angeles, and the weights downstairs. The pool is in a separate room not far from where the weights are, and there is a basketball court.

(C) Junior college where Nolan is studying kinesiology to become a personal trainer.

There is a library where Nolan can study and get online. There is a food court with a sandwich shop for healthy lunches. The P.E. building has an extensive weight room, as well as an outdoor swimming pool.

(D) The motel where Nolan fell into the time rift in Pismo beach. There is a grassy area in front of the motel with an ocean view.

(E) Bus stop in Norwalk close to the freeway, the green line stops there.

This is where Nolan must connect from the bus that left the college to get into the bus that takes him to Downey.

Future Time:

Temporal Exploration Committee is an organization in the distant future that experiments with time travel, striving to uncover the secrets behind the causes and effects of various theories of time travel.

Time Teleportal:This is a relatively new method of time travel that doesn’t involve a time vehicle. It is potentially dangerous. A force field surrounds the traveler and pulls him through temporal space to the destination time, then through another continuum so he travels to the same coordinates he originally left. He must make the same journey twice, once through temporal space, then through normal space.

Anti-Experimentation Movement is a group of people in the same era as the Temporal Exploration Committee who are opposed to experimenting on people of the past via time travel.

21st Century:

Fat to Fit student club. This is a club on campus Nolan belongs to that encourages fat students to become fit. Most of the students are obese, and it is led by Nolan from the future, because he knows the ways of exercising and eating healthy to lose body fat. Although future Nolan isn’t a student, he accompanies his younger self and the others look up to him and see him as a role model. Because he used to weigh 300 pounds and now weighs 190, he is proof that his techniques will work.

Kinesiology Club: This is a club both younger Nolan and Natalie are members of. They have barbecues to raise money for trips they go on. Sometimes they go hiking, or to fitness expos.
