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 find it and I set the year it will take you both to and lucky for you, you gat yourselves a friend”
“O boy’ Brooks sighed.
“Jesus Christ” Steve breathed down.
“You are evil dad” Dustin said and Molly chuckled.
“Come on son, I am doing all this for you, for your future” Doctor Peter said, heading towards a big time travel machine he built in the lab.
“For us? for our future? Dad what future are you talking about?” Dustin said amidst tears.
“This” he said, sitting on a suitable position on the machine and looked at them.
“This is the future” he said slowly to them and turned on the machine. The machine began to sound up and the long arms of the machine began to whir around.
“So this is it? This is why I can’t hang out with my friends or even go to a normal college like normal people? Or even go for a date” Molly said slowly.
“Yes this is it sweetheart. You don’t have to be with normal people to be normal and talking about date, did any boy ask you out? Oh my daughter is fully grown”
“Please enough of this, just open this damn door let us get the hell out of here” Brooks broke in.
“That’s not happening, I don’t think….”
“Why the heck is that not happening?”
“Why don’t you stay and enjoy the best part of the show? It’s about to begin” Doctor Peter chuckled.
“What do you mean?” Brooks was startled, staring at him.
“Uhhmm who should go first, who should go first?” he asked and paused his stare on Matilda.
“Here you go” he said and pressed a button on the arm of the time travel chair. One of the long arms of the machine reached for Matilda and perched on her stomach.
“What’s happening?’ Dustin, angry, went closer to Matilda who was struggling to wriggle free from the machine.
“What the fuck is this? Hey!” Brooks yelled angrily at Doctor Peter.
“It’s working!!!” Doctor Peter said loudly and laughed loudly. The long arm of the machine pulled Matilda towards Doctor Peter and he held her tightly after a long annoying chuckle.
“Let go” Matilda yelled.
“Let her go dad” Dustin stared at his dad.
“I hope you understand son”
“I don’t want any of this dad, I don’t fucking wants this”
“Trust me, you will understand”
“Just let her go Peter”
“Time to travel my dear child” Doctor Peter chuckled again and disappeared, together with Matilda.
“No!” Steve yelled.
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
“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
