The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same

Moving to Florida at the age of six is going better than Malcolm thought it would. He's made a good friend, an energetic boy called Trip, and kindergarten isn't too shabby. All good things must come to an end, however, and Malcolm ends up moving far, far away, back to England, and then to Malaysia.Trip also has a moving experience of his own, although not quite as extreme. In California, he meets Jon, Hoshi, Travis, T'Pol, and a host of others through the school's poor excuse of a science club, almost forgetting Malcolm entirely.Almost.It's kind of hard to forget someone when you, quite literally, run into them on your way to fourth period. But high school is about as different as it could be from kindergarten, and the same goes for people. Can a friendship cut short from nearly ten years ago still be salvaged? Well, they're certainly going to try.Edit 4.17.21: uh yeah this is on pause bc I ran out of motivation sorry :/// still want to continue this fic, so hopefully I get back to it eventually
