Time-Traveling Teens

In yesterday's comments, Theresa mentioned time-travel as the next big thing that could hit YA.

That got me thinking, but I keep coming back to one thing:
So, what kind of plots haven't been explored in time-travel YA yet?

Will a modern-day high school kid find herself in Ancient Rome, where her geeky, Latin-club creds will finally have a practical use?

Could a football player with dreams of turning pro end up wielding a sword with actual (rather than Minnesota) Vikings?

Could a Beverly Hills rich girl become a Victorian servant?

What do you think? Where could this plot device take them? Will the time-travel be the result of technology or magic? Will they stay there forever or return to their own time? Will they change history, or will the space-time continuum adjust around them?

What would YOU write, if it was your story?
