Matilda woke up slowly and struggled up slowly, feeling pains all over her body. She realized that she is still in same Doctor Peter’s lab. She sighed heavily and held one of the tables in the lab for support.
“Steve?’ she called slowly, trying to stand strong.
“Hello” she continued and headed to the door. She opened the door to the secret laboratory and found herself in Doctor Peter’s room. She hurried out of the room, into the big parlor of the house when she heard a woman’s voice.
“Mom?” she called but to her surprise, she saw a boy and a girl with white hairs standing in front of her their playing toys on their hands.
“Dustin” their mother called.
“Yes mummy” he replied, still staring at Matilda. Matilda stared at him for some time and chuckled happily.
“Oh my God” she chuckled.
“Hey” little Molly asked Matilda.
“Your close friend” she replied and heard footsteps approaching the room. She hid behind the big sofa in the parlor.
“Come on babies, time for lunch” Eunice carried the babies and headed to her room. Matilda came out from behind the sofa and sneaked out of the house.
She took the trace and headed to her parent’s house. On her way, she noticed some changes that took place within the two years. She didn’t see the tree in front of the house anymore, when she arrived.
“Hello” she knocked on the door and looked around the house slowly.
Hello” she called out loudly this time and the door creaked open. Matilda saw a little girl standing in front of her. she didn’t her, she walked into the house immediately and began into the dinning. She stopped walking after six steps and turned to the little girl that opened the door. The little girl stood behind her and they began to stare at each other. Matilda walked back to her bent down to the little girl’s height.
“Matilda?” Matilda asked the little girl.
“Yes” the little Matilda replied. Matilda stared at the little girl and smiled broadly.
“Chobby chobby chobby” Matilda patted her cheek and stood up immediately. She was frightened when she saw her mother standing right behind her, carrying a baby on her arm.
“Mum” she rushed and hugged her.
“Matilda” they embraced each other. While hugging each other, Matilda stared at the baby who was also staring at her.
“Steve?’ Matilda scoffed and Mrs. Brooks giggled.
“Sweetheart I’m really sorry for what happened to you two years ago” Mrs. Brooks said after they separated.
“Two years ago? It was seven minutes ago” Matilda chuckled.
“It’s time travel honey”
“Yeah, what about Dustin Steve and Molly?” she asked curiously.
“I guess we are all still there, looking for a way to get you back and here you are”
“Doctor Peter seems to be affirmative in some shits he is doing, where the fuck is he”
“You haven’t seen him in 2005?”
“No I haven’t, I woke up in his freaking lab” Matilda said.
“No!”
“What? What’s no?”
“What if…never mind, just…never mind”
“Mum you are scaring me”
“That day Doctor Peter took you to this 2005, he has not been seen for the past two years now”
“Me too. You just saw me since then”
“Not that like that, Eunice said he could come back anytime he wants. According to Eunice, the clock was found on April 12 2005, today is October 9 2005”
“He tricked us” Matilda said slowly.
“He’s got the clock and you can’t go back to either 2003 or 2022” Mrs. Brooks added.
“Unless I find him”
“He’s missing Matilda”
A loud knock echoed on Eunice’s door, like that of someone fleeing away from a killing demon. Eunice reached for the door after the fifth knock.
“Hey!” she said angrily and opened the door.
“Peter? Oh my God” she was startled.
“She was here right?”
“Who? What are you talking about?” Eunice asked, staring at his hungry eyes.
“The girl with the white hair” Doctor Peter questioned her.
“Are you serious? Peter you have been away from your family for two years. You show up today and all you ask of is a strange girl you disappeared with two years ago. This is sick” Eunice blurted out.
“Good, she’s not here” he replied and hurried into the house.
“What…what do you mean?” Eunice said while closing the door.
“I don’t need her here, I want to do this all alo…hey babies” he smiled and opened his arms for his kids when he saw them standing on the bed in the bedroom. They stood there, staring at him, not coming for a hug.
“Don’t tell me they don’t recognize me anymore” he frowned a little,.
“Off course they don’t Peter” she replied and Peter stood well and brought out the clock and placed it on the bed.
“Peter what are you guys up to?”
“Changing the world, changing lives, achieving my dreams” he shuddered.
“See this?” he pointed at the clock and looked at his wife.
“This will change everything just as we wanted”
“W e wanted? Peter your children are still stuck in that past you left them. It may affected their beautiful future” she bawled.
“Beautiful future? Honey there is nothing more beautiful than this” he pointed at the clock again.
“What’s your plan Peter?” Eunice asked him slowly.
“I’m going down to 2003 and surprise the kids with my experiment. I got the clock, I did it’ he chuckled.
“I’m gonna use this clock and create not just an many time travel clocks, but a different multi-verse and they will help me” he said and chuckled again.
“Peter don’t hurt those kids”
“No I won’t. I swear to God I’m not gonna hurt anybody” he smiled and looked at little Molly and Dustin.
“I’m not’ he added and continued to his secret chamber. As he was putting the lock code of the door, Eunice looked at the clock and looked at him.
“Oh things don’t change’ he scoffed while the door was opening.
“Look Eunice I don’t know how this will sound to you but I think and I know that….” He stopped talking when he turned and didn’t see his wife in the room anymore. He took his eyes to the bed where he kept the clock and to his shock, the clock was missing too.
“Shit” he groaned angrily and headed out of the room.
“Eunice where are you?” he looked at the dinning and parlor but did not see her.
“Where the fuck are you Eunice?’ he asked and headed to the kitchen. Arriving the kitchen, he heard a whirring noise and rushed in.
“What are you doing? What are you doing? No!” he yelled and Eunice disappeared, without clock.
Mrs. Eunice found herself in same kitchen. She looked around her and noticed some changes in the kitchen. “Wow’ she was surprised, still looking around.‘Mum’ a voice interrupted her and she looked towards the door immediately, it was Dustin.‘Oh my God, Dustin is that you?’ she asked him, surprised.‘I thought you are in the car already. I saw you in the car before coming in’ Dustin said, grabbing some cans of sprite from the fridge.‘Oh no… that… that wasn’t, that wasn’t me’ she chuckled confusedly.‘Off course we don’t have two you in this house and’ he chuckled with her and kick closed the fridge.‘Maybe we do’ she said slowly.‘What year is this?’ she asked him.‘2022 mum’‘And I guess this is January?’ she asked and Dustin stared at her.‘Aren’t you coming? You said we are late’ he looked at her, struggling with the drinks in his hands.“By the way you look younger today, what cream is that?”‘Cream? Where’s your dad?’‘Might be in his lab. He said to go without him.
“I don’t need any explanation from you both, I need an explanation from you” future Eunice said, pointing at her past self. Molly and Dustin stared at each other.“Seriously?”“Do I look like I’m joking? What the fuck are you doing here?”“I don’t know what the fuck you are asking me and besides you should know why I’m here or did you become forty and traded your brains for something else? What? More beauty? Look at your eyes, they are now a little bit… did you do surgery?”“Hey! I am the fucking senior here. I am forty-three and you might just be twenty- six or whatever. So I think you should pull out some respect for me”“I am you, you know that right?”“What are you doing here?”“What? Are you still asking me that?”“Don’t tell me the kids are still there”“The kids are still there”“Shit”“Yeah that’s what you gonna say” past Eunice said.“Mom” Molly and Dustin called.“You failed?”“What? I just came” past Eunice replied.“Mum” the twins called together again.“What about the Bro
‘Bitch’ Eunice sighed heavily when she realized that she has travelled back to 2005. First, she rushed to her closet to check if the box could be there, it wasn’t.‘Eunice is that you?’ Dr. Peter asked her and was startled, scared.‘I have been waiting for you for the past forty minutes, I knew you would come back’ he said with a faint smile on his face.‘Are you kidding me?’‘No I’m not, you know… some things are just meant to happen and we all, I mean.. you and I knows that’‘Give me the clock Peter’‘You look old Eunice, did you switch with your past self?’‘Peter’‘That’s very smart of you. At least I have tasted the past and I’m gonna taste the future you too’ he chuckled.‘The kids needs to get back, this… this was all a mistake’ Eunice said to him with a snort.‘Yeah I don’t doubt that but I like such mistake, it was a great start for me and I’m really enjoying it’ Peter chuckled again while Eunice was staring at him.‘Why are you doing this Peter?’‘What happened to the sweet
Eunice arrived at the Brooks family and gave a loud and annoying knock on the door. But before coming, she ran to the lab to check if the time machine that brought Matilda and Dr. Peter to 2005 is still in the lab but to her surprise, the machine was gone. She was disappointed and annoyed. She waited for few seconds and repeated the knock.‘Hello!’ she called loudly and the door opened immediately.‘Eunice?’ Mrs. Brooks was surprised to see her.‘What happened to you? Did you age in one night?’‘I time travelled’ she replied and headed inside.‘You time traveled?’ Mrs. Eunice asked confusedly, closed the door and followed her.‘Yeah I did… wait are you always pregnant?’ Eunice asked her and the little Matilda met them. Eunice stared at her for a while and took her stare to Mrs. Brooks face.‘Is that… is that Matilda?’ she asked her.‘You can tell’‘Where’s the adult Matilda?’‘What do you mean… where’s the adult Matilda?’’ Mrs. Brooks stared at her, confused.‘Yeah… where’s
“Ok fine, I am fed up already” Molly exclaimed, packing her purple hair with a purple rose bow.“They have gone for a long time now” Dustin stared at her, standing at akimbo.“They? Matilda’s been kidnapped and you… who are they actually… you are talking about?” Steve turned to Dustin.“My mum, my past mum”“She’s fine. Even if she… she’s… she’s just fine”“Time travel is crazy” Molly added and sighed slowly.“Where are your parents after all?” Molly asked and stared at Steve.“Ion know” Steve answered weakly and relaxed comfortably on the sofa.“Tired of this shit… no video games?” Dustin asked Steve.“Lemme check” he stood up from the sofa and headed to one of the rooms in the house.“I’mma… follow him and go check something with him… maybe a clue or maybe ummmm…”“Whatever” Molly said and interrupted Dustin who was standing and ready to follow Steve. They got to one of the closed rooms and Steve opened it’s door.“What is this place?” Steve asked.“What? I don’t know, I s
Steve and Dustin came to the parlor and met Molly drinking and watching television.“Is that vodka?” Dustin was surprised.“Uhmmm” she sighed and took a short sip.“When did you start… uh ‘Scream?” Dustin eyes caught the television.“Yeah, the first one was really great, the rest sucks” she replied with a soft breath.“We found something” he said to her and she looked at him, then to Steve who was standing beside Dustin, holding the device.“What?” she said to Dustin.“I said we found something… something in some underground warehouse in one of the room in…”“Dust what? I ain’t seeing anything that is worth finding and telling me. Are you tryna ruin my mood or what? Is that it?” Molly stared aggressively at Dustin.“Oh my God Molly” Dustin scoffed confusedly.“Yeah I thought so”“No Molly!” Dustin exclaimed.“That’s possible”“It’s liturgical and annoying”“It’s what?” Molly stared at him.“No… we… we really did find something… useful” Steve stammered. Molly and Steve glance
Dustin followed Molly after a long stare at Steve and met her sitting on a little chair in the secret room which leads to the underground. He sighed and breathed down heavily after putting his hands in his trouser pockets. He quietly sat on the ground besides Molly and cleared his throat. Molly looked at him and focused on the picture she was watching.“You know you can talk to me about anything anytime right?” he looked at her.“We didn’t grow up well like other kids” Molly said slowly.“What? Why’d you say that?” “You said I can talk to you about anything anytime”“That’s not what I meant”“I know” she chuckled and Dustin joined her.“I’m sorry” she said and Dustin looked at her.“About what?”“For not telling you about Cebus. Cebus… Cebus is like, my lifetime dream. I could even meet Billie Eillish there or more celebrities there” she added and sighed down.“Yeah”“I couldn’t have done what I did… I could have told you first before dad. You could have told me not to tell
“Okay this is the plan, we go to the museum, we wait till a buyer purchases the clock. Mrs. Brooks you will confront and confuse the buyer and his crew, if he or she has one”“Why me, why should I do that?” Mrs. Brooks asked Eunice.“Because you are pregnant, they won’t hurt you”“You sure about that?”“It will be fine mum, just trust the process” Matilda joined.“Okay” Mrs. Brooks sighed slowly.“Then, I and Matilda will join in like emergency cross stuff or as full hospital nurse and help you up after you pretend to be sick after having a jam with the buyer”“What?”“So… we could have a chance to grab the clock”“Is that all? Is that the plan?” Mrs. Brooks asked Eunice.“What?”“That doesn’t sound like a plan at all” “Okay tell us yours then” Eunice stared at Mrs. Brooks and Matilda.“Sick” Matilda sighed.“Look, what if… what if we just borrow 10,000 bucks from a bank or any rich business man and buy the clock ourselves from the museum instead”“Mum?”“What? It’s a great ide
