A small story type thing, focussing on Wilbur and basically just the movie scenes lengthened to make them about Wilbur and maybe I'll write a piece later about just Wilbur and his problems with his dad, or why he felt he needed to keep Lewis at a distance at the beginning and whether or not he realised that the frog girl was his mum, probably did with the whole "don't sass me, boy, I know karate" and I'll probably write more chapters in amongst assignments for uni.
Disclaimer: I have no claim over Meet the Robinsons characters or Disney, and am making no profit from this story, none whatsoever actually… must get a job.
"We make a great team" Lewis exclaimed as the rest of the Robinsons came hurrying up. Wilbur high-fived Lewis.
"Yeah. We did." He said, wondering if this was really his dad in the past, or if he'd picked up the wrong boy, because his relationship with his dad was not a 'great team', it was more a 'great disaster'. It was more a conflict of interests and a general distanced relationship. Just then his mum, Franny, seized him in one of the biggest hugs he'd ever had, it was also kind of unusual, as he hadn't been hugged since he was 9 and declared a vow of never being hugged. She kissed his cheeks all over and he was startled to see a tear trickle down her cheek.
"I'm fine," he said, though he wasn't sure if he'd ever be fine again, he'd nearly been eaten by a T-rex for heaven's sake. That one moment he was thrown in the air, he'd seen the horror etched on his family's faces and he'd flashed through some of his memories. Memories that seemed to only include birthday parties with his mum and the rest of the family, but not his dad. No, in all the memories that had flashed through his mind when he'd thought he was going to die, the only one that contained his dad was at Christmas at the age of 6 and his dad had blown up the garage containing his present; a blue bike. Suddenly he was blown off course by the excited blabber of Lewis, who had just blurted out "Mum". Confusion and terror seemed to seize him by the throat as his family gathered around them and wanted Lewis to be part of their family. This couldn't happen, if this happened, then he, Wilbur would not be there, none of it would be there, nothing would ever be as it was. He, Wilbur would cease to exist. With a quick hand Wilbur knocked Lewis' hat to the ground and stood there uncertainly, he knew he was in deep trouble now. His mum would probably never forgive him, and his dad? He had no idea; it was usually just a punishment his mum told his dad to give him. He relayed his story to his family and gave a small, unsure smile. And then, he made a mistake, he blurted out that he was never going to take Lewis to see his mother like he's promised, and the hurt and anger on Lewis' face was enough to cause Wilbur to feel a weird sort of piercing pain around his heart area. As Lewis ran off, Wilbur couldn't help but wonder if this is what made his Dad distant with him.
"Lewis." Wilbur shouted, as he ran after the younger boy, the one who he realised he wanted to be his friend. "Lewis!" Please, please come back. He silently begged. Finally he found him, just as he was reaching for the Bowler Hat Guy's hand.
"Lewis, no!" He yelled, but Lewis gave him a withering glare and accepted the help into the second time machine. Wilbur watched them fly away and sunk to his knees in the springy lawn, a single tear sliding down his cheek. "I've got to get him back."
Tell me what you think, in a small review, please. I'll probably post another chapter when I've written it. Sorry it's all about Wilbur and basically just the movie lengthened, and it's really bad, right. I'm not the best at this sort of stuff and it sounds good in my head, but then it never ever comes out right. Grrr, so annoying.
