Lewis and Robinson twins
Chapter 1: Confusion at the double
"Never thought I'd say this," muttered Wilbur, "But I give up."
The mission was simple: find his sister's secret box. It was a time that Tera had begun to spend most of her time hidden there, in the garage. Wilbur already had seen her with a box and was looking for almost the entire day before Tera returned from whatever she had gone to fetch. She just said it was very important.
Wilbur sighed. Another journey lost. Whatever Tera was doing, she did not want anyone to know. Then he looked at the time machine and smiled. Perhaps the journey was not so lost after all. His father was away and his sister was gone; he could use for a new journey of exploration. Just needed to get his camera.
It was a cold and rainy night. He supposed that his sister would not be back before the rain passed. He was in no great hurry. He was going up to his room when his mother called him.
"Wilbur! There you are! What are you doing?"
"Nothing, Mom," he answered promptly.
"Then could you take out the trash, please?"
"Sure, Mother," he answered without showing his irritation at the delay. He was moving away but Franny had to call him back.
"One more thing dear; have you seen Tera?"
"No. Since the lunch. She must be at a friend's house, waiting for the rain to pass."
"It is. Maybe. Thanks Wil."
The boy grabbed a raincoat not to get wet and left. Already outside he heard his mother's voice.
"Wilbur! Close the gate right; the alarm does not work!"
"Okay, Mom!" he said, rolling his eyes. He was not irresponsible.
He was going to take the time machine when he reminded himself again of the camera. He pulled the door open and came into the house through the front door. He did not realize that the door remained open.
Once Wilbur moved away from the door, Tera came to her without seeing her brother. She was surprised that the door was open, but came in and closed it, or at least thought she had done. She picked up her box and emptied the contents of her pockets into. But before working, she needed a hot shower and a snack. While having dinner at a friend's house, she was hungry, and completely soaked by the rain.
Wilbur finally found the camera. He passed by his sister's room but saw no sign of her. Apparently, he was lucky.
Down quickly by the transport tube and into the garage. Then he realized something was wrong. The door was open and a time machine was not there. He ran outside in time to glimpse a man wearing a bowler hat, inside the time machine before it disappeared.
So, back to the garage, Tera was overthrown by her brother.
"Watch where you walk!" cried the girl. Before Wilbur could answer, she noticed what was wrong. "Where is the time machine?"
"When did you arrived?" he asked, ignoring the question of his sister.
"It's less than ten minutes. And then?"
"You entered by what door?"
"This. Don't tell me..."
"Someone stole a time machine," Completed the boy. "You must have left the door open. I thought it was me."
"And was you. It was already open when I arrived. I thought I had closed it, but got in a hurry..."
"Me too. What do we do?"
"Call Daddy. What do you think I do?"
"No, Tera. Please! Maybe you not, but if our parents find out I'm dead."
"Relax, Wil. It can't be that bad. Can?"
"For you, talk is cheap. They believe that you are the angel of the house. Never find any of the things you do."
"It is not my fault that I'm better behaved and smarter than you."
"Behaved? I do not know where. Smarter? In your dreams. After all, you also left the door open!"
"It was my first slide. And you started it."
Then Carl came. "What are discussing, there, children?"
"Carl!" Wilbur shouted. "Good to see you. We need help!"
"What have you done this time?"
"We accidentally left the garage door open and a time machine was stolen. I was planning to go after the thief. Can you track where he went?"
"I think that's a bad idea," muttered the girl.
"I did not ask for your opinion. Carl?"
"I don't think you should..."
"Leave it to me," Tera said. She ran to where her bo was hidden and came back with two small metal wasps.
"What is it?" Wilbur got one. "Where did that come from?"
"They are spies. It doesn't matter where they came from, but they will certainly help us."
The wasp in the girl's hand began to vibrate its wings, its eyes glowing red. Then it stopped, it eyes turning blue. Tera looked at her watch.
"I still think it's a bad idea, but we have a time. Stay with the other spy case we are separated."
"Should we be separate?"
"Of course! Thought I'd let you take care of something this important alone? Just give me two minutes." She ran to the transport tube and soon returned wearing a white shirt, short jean shorts, a black vest, black boots, and a pink cap with several stars.
Wilbur looked at her, surprised. That girl does not look anything like his sister. What had happened to Tera "Perfect" Robinson?
She placed a mesh bracelet and a headset communicator in her brother's hand and asked, "Ready to go?"
"Who are you and what you did to my sister?" he asked, laughing.
"This is Tera being adventurous. Hurry, before something really bad happens!" The girl pulled Wilbur to the time machine and he quickly jumped into the driver's seat. She hand him a paper with the date.
"What are you waiting for?" She asked
Wilbur sighed. Tera knew be really annoying when she wanted. But she could also be useful.
