Prologue

"Yes! Yes! Wait. No! Oh, no!" Honey Lemon's voice carried excitedly through the lab. Swelling and diving, shifting from joy to frustration as she scurried around the test tubes and beakers, busily looking for a solution. "Gah! Why isn't this working?" She complained under her breath. A single strand of golden hair unraveled and fell limply in front of her right eye. She ignored it, fixing her attention back to the chemicals resting on the table. "A dash of liquid nitrogen?" She mused with a smile. "Ah, what harm could it do? Possibly a small chemical explosion, but worth the risk for science!"

"Wait! Wait! Wait! Hold up. Did you say chemical explosion?!" Wasabi's eyes were nearly bobbling out of his head. Even his dreadlocks were on edge, standing on their own in every direction imaginable. "Honey, remember what happened last time? Please tell me you remember! I don't want another repeat. It took me two months to get my lasers right again! TWO MONTHS!"

"Oh, come on!" Honey whined. "Wasabi, if my calculations are correct, this could be groundbreaking! Think of the possibilities. The mastery of time and space at our fingertips!"

"With chemicals?" Wasabi raised a brow, Honey frowned.

"I know, I know." She sighed. "Time travel is a physicist's work. But! Not anymore!"

Giddy with excitement, she raced back over to her corner of the lab and started wildly mixing chemicals together. Wasabi tensed, glanced frantically around for an escape route, and started inching away slowly.

"Fred…" Wasabi's voice trailed. "Fred!"

A thin haze of bluish-purple smoke inflated the room.

"Time travel smells like roses!" Honey chirped clapping her hands happily together.

"Fred! Fred!" Wasabi panicked, galloping over to the comic-book enthusiast resting calmly in his recliner. "Fred! She's at it again!"

"Chillax, dude." Fred smiled watching the smoke swirl around the room. "I'm kind of diggin' this side of Honey. No longer will any of you say time travel is science fiction! No longer will you say Fred is crazy!" He paused one-overing Wasabi and smirked. "And, worst case scenario, Honey's experiment genetically mutates us and we all become super heroes."

"Or she'll blow up the lab! Am I the only one here seeing the smoke?!"

Fred peered around the massive man standing in front of him and chuckled. "No, man. I see it too."

"And so do I." GoGo stepped into view tugging off the golden helmet from her head. She dully nodded around the lab and puffed out steam placing her hands square on her hips. "Honestly, Wasabi, I don't see why you're still surprised by this. Honey blows up the lab every other week."

"That's not entirely true!" Honey piped in from behind the veil of smoke. GoGo rolled her eyes tucking her dark hair behind her ear.

"Whatever. All I'm saying is that this isn't news. Open a window if it bothers you and stop complaining."

She turned on her heels and stormed off to her side leaving Wasabi and Fred in her dust. Fred's grin widened.

"I think I feel it working." Fred said examining his hands. "Do I look different to you?"

"Unbelievable." Wasabi murmured. "Un. Believe. Able."

"Honey's at it again?" Tadashi asked leaning in through the door. In one swift move, he peeled his cap from his head and ran his hand through his thick choppy hair. "I saw the smoke."

"Please tell this woman to stop!" Wasabi begged flinging open his arms. Tadashi laughed and entered the room.

"I don't think I could do that even if I wanted to." He said patting Wasabi on the back. "There's something amazing happening in that big brain of hers and nothing can stand in her way."

"Oh, sure! Honey blows up the lab and we're all just supposed to be cool with it? Fine! Fine. If you need me, I'll be with my lasers trying NOT to die!"

The giant man shook his head and bitterly retreated back to his corner. Tadashi gazed after him and stifled a laugh. "Ok, you do that, man!" He laughed. "And, hey! If you do get caught in an explosion, remember to say 'ow', Baymax only has a few glitches at this point. I think he could help."

"Yeah, yeah." Wasabi grumbled.

Tadashi fixed his attention back on Honey and casually brought himself to her side. She glanced up at him once he reached her and gave him a warming smile.

"So Baymax is almost ready?" She asked politely. "Hiro is going to be so proud of you!"

"Yeah, I can't wait to show him." He grinned running a hand across the back his neck. "Hopefully it'll inspire him not to bot-fight anymore."

"Anything is possible." Honey shrugged. She stopped, looked around the room, and let the joy corrupt her face. "Tadashi! The smoke has evaporated! That means it's time!"

"Time?"

She didn't explain with words. Instead, she tugged on his hand pulling him closer into her and pointed at a small bluish-purple ball resting neatly on the table. Tadashi stared at it, confused.

"If my calculations are correct," Honey whispered filling a droplet with water, "when this ball of chemicals reacts with water, we'll be transported three months into the future to this very spot! Tadashi, Tadashi, hold my hand!"

The boy did as she instructed, carefully tangling his fingers into hers. Heat brushed to her cheeks, but she ignored it and ever so cautiously sprinkled one drop of water onto the blob. She held her breath. Tadashi looked at her out of the corner of his eye. Her brows bound together.

"I don't understand." She muttered pulling her hand away from his. She tucked the runaway hair back behind her ear. "It was supposed to work. The water was supposed to induce a chemical reaction. I-I don't understand!"

"Honey-" Tadashi tried. She shook her head. Disappointment struck her hard. "Honey, please-"

"Tadashi. I failed." She whimpered gazing into his eyes. Without missing a beat, he grabbed her and pulled her in for a hug.

"You didn't fail." He stated kindly. "Maybe this does something else." He held her out arm's length. "I'll tell you what." He said plucking the ball from the table. "I'm going to hold onto this and I won't rest until I figure out what it does."

"Really?" Honey asked wide eyed.

"Really."

"Oh, Tadashi! You are the best! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She flung her arms around his torso and squeezed tight. "Thank you, Tadashi."
