“Did I become a professor? Like…like I always wanted. Forget about the café, I was only opening it for your mother” Brooks said to the kids that were sitting on the sofa at the dinning of the house.
“You are a manager Dad” Steve replied.
“After all my school?”
“Please Brooks family, how I get back to my other life? I’m bored here” Molly interrupted.
“I have a date mum” Matilda said and Dustin stared at her.
“She already knows. Will told her this morning” Steve replied.
“What?”
“My daughter has a date?” Mrs. Brooks smiled.
“Yeah, the one in your belly” Molly hissed imperceptibly.
“What did I, I mean we.. we name you?” Brooks asked Matilda.
“Matilda” Matilda replied.
“See? I won” Brooks chuckled.
“Steve” Steve dropped.
“Nah we don’t know you yet. No competition for your name yet” Brooks said and Matilda cleared her throat.
“What?” Steve winked at Matilda.
“Sorry, I’m gonna ask this question again. How the fuck do I get back to my life that I lived this morning? This place is fucking sick, disappointing and annoying” Molly started again.
“So that you can go to your boring and frustrating date with that psycho right” Dustin broke in.
“What the fuck Dustin?”
“Go to his house right now and do the fucking date with him. He should be born by now or are you scared that he will be a baby and can’t recognize your purple hair?” Dustin was becoming angry. Matilda stared at him and then to Molly.
“Hey! What is wrong with you. You should be supporting me in this case. Why the fuck are you against me, I’m your sister” Molly said to him, disappointed.
“Hey kids come on stop it, we will find a way to get you all…”
“I don’t fucking care okay, I’m done with all these shit” he replied and stood up from the sofa, heading to the door.
“You brought the fucking clock at that café in the first place and I fucking warned you at the first place”
“You took me to that café in the first place and I warned you about it” Dustin replied and opened the door.
“Fuck you Dustin. You are a fucking asshole” Molly bawled.
“Whatever” he left the house and Matilda followed him
“Wait…what clock are you both talking about?” Brooks asked Molly.
“The fucking ancient clock that brought our asses here” Molly replied rudely.
“Ancient clock?”
“Yeah, it’s a time travel clock” Steve replied.
“And why did you guys choose to come to the past?” Mrs. Brooks asked.
“We didn’t choose, it brought us here itself”
“Automatic?”
“Yeah you can call it that” Steve groaned.
“Then why don’t…
“I think we should….
“You talk first honey” Brooks smiled to his wife.
“I think we should go to the place where you guys found the clock and maybe it could still be there. It will probably be there since we are still in the past” Mrs. Brooks said.
“Shit, that’s fucking true”
“That’s a great idea”
“My dad took that clock in 2005 and brought it to our house” Molly stood up from the sofa.
“You mean you guys got the clock from your house?” Steve looked at Molly.
“In my dad’s chamber, yes’ Molly replied.
“Why would you? Oh my God”
“It’s none of your business Stephen”
“It’s Steve”
“Whatever”
Matilda met Dustin sitting on the stairs of the entrance to the house. She walked down slowly and sat down beside him. Dustin noticed her presence but still kept idle, staring at the environment.
“Hey”
“Hi”
“I ummm…my date isn’t really that important. It’s just…my first time”
“It’s fine. Sorry for my reaction in there, I was just pissed off”
“She’s your sister”
“She’s annoying”
“Sisters are annoying, always” Matilda chuckled and he looked at her.
“You have a nice family” he smiled at her.
“Psst, should have seen us back there in 2022. We are a mess” Matilda chuckled and he smiled.
“What about you?” she asked but he kept quiet.
“I’m…I’m really sorry. I really didn’t mean to ask. I’m sorry if it’s personal to ask” She apologized.
“No it’s fine” she said and cleared his voice.
“My dad was a scientist who believed only in his experiments. He loved his crazy work more than us. I hated him for that, likewise Molly. He started all these shit”
“What do you mean?” Matilda was curious.
“I stole the clock from him. I have my reasons”
“What, what was it?” Matilda looked closely to him.
“He was gonna use the clock and…
“Hey Matilda, we have a clue” Molly interrupted. Matilda looked at Molly, then to Dustin and they stood up from the stair.
“Okay here’s the plan. We will all go to Molly’s house, look for the dad and ask him about the clock” Brooks said.“My dad is a crazy scientist. He might know that I and Molly are his children and he might sense that something is wrong” Dustin said.“Then it will be fine. Who wouldn’t want his children back to where they deserve?” Mrs. Brooks corrected.“My Dad won’t. he’s a crazy scientist”“Stop calling him that” Molly said slowly.“When were you born?” Brooks asked Dustin.“Twins, born March 2003”“Twins?” Steve was surprised.“Which means that you both are only seven months old. I don’t think he will recognize” Mrs. Brooks smiled.“That’s a bad idea, totally a bad idea” Matilda joined.“Tell us, what is a good idea Tilda?” Molly scoffed at Matilda“Don’t abbreviate my name”“Don’t you have a good idea please?” Molly continued.“What if he hasn’t gotten the clock yet or don’t know about it yet? None of us is sure about it” Matilda looked at them.“When were you when we said that t
Doctor Peter giggled at them and frowned at the same time. Mrs. Brooks was shivering slowly while Molly and Dustin were trying to hide their face from their father’s stare.“Hey Doctor Peter, I…we are really sorry for invading like this but trust me, we are not invaders. We are just some fellow scientist who have heard about you and came to see what we heard” Brooks said slowly. Doctor Peter looked at him and brought out the smile again.“Well…you came at the right time” Doctor Peter smiled at them and they all returned the smile.“Follow me and I will show you around my secret lab” he continued and headed into one of the rooms of the house. Mrs. Brooks looked at Eunice slowly and said to her. “I’ll explain later, I promise”“He didn’t recognize us?” Molly asked Dustin.“Don’t be convinced yet, you and I knows how tricky he can be” Dustin replied.“He didn’t recognize them?” Steve asked Matilda.“Something is not right, I can feel it”“Can’t we just terminate our already ter
Doctor Peter laughed happily and looked at Brooks“You think I will be stupid not to find out? Do you know who I am?”“Look I can explain everything that is happening right now”“No! no I don’t need your explanation at all. You just did me a favor, an unforgettable favor for my experiment” he laughed again.“Sir”“What do you mean, did you a favor? What experiment are you talking about?” Matilda asked him.“Trapping someone from the future into this past” he chuckled.“What?” Steve asked nervously.“My experiment requires someone from the past, that is why all this is happening” he replied.“You did it” Dustin replied.“Did what?” Matilda looked at Dustin.“He tricked us into this place”“Yes, that’s my boy. You are absolutely smarter than your sister. You might even be smarter than me” Doctor Peter said to Dustin.“Someone should clear me, what’s…what’s going on? What are you guys talking about?” Molly asked, staring at her father.“I placed the clock where you both can fin
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 carr
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
