The Past Is Today

Author's Note: I believe no fanfiction for Early Man has been done yet, so i'll try my best to make one. Basically, I just took the time travel plot and sorta made it on my own. I couldn't come up with anymore ideas, okay? So, anyway, I have nothing else to say, I don't know what i'll do with First Snow, and Zirkonians VS Vocaloids will still go on, so enjoy!

I DON'T OWN ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR SEANA, EMMI AND OTHER ORIGINAL CHARACTERS YOU WILL SEE IN THE STORY! (mainly in the modern world parts) EVERYTHING ELSE BELONGS TO STUDIOCANAL AND AARDMAN!

SEANA'S POV

The morning of Monday, June 6th, 2050. It was beginning to get hot, and when I say it, I don't mean something like normal hot. I mean…. 90 degrees hot.

Aru hareta hi no koto… Mahou ijou no yukai ga…

My alarm goes off to the tune of Hare Hare Yukai from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I stretch my arms out, and realize, it's hotter than usual. I sweat for a few seconds, before I finally turn off the alarm. The song stops, and I prepare my stuff to go to Harmabark High. The final stop for us smarties before we move on to Harvard, which I think is far away from here, if I remember correctly.

So, basically, the morning went the usual for me. I made my pancakes, I watched whatever was on TV, got my uniform, brushed my teeth and hair, and got my bike ready to go.

Actually, scratch that. Everything seems like the same old thing. You see, ever since the most recent royal wedding between Princess Janice, and model Michael O'niell that happened back in August… (So, not so recent.) Things began to seem… How do I put this? Oh, yeah. The same old thing, politics this… Teen idols that… Yade-yada-freaking-yada. That's when I became way more interested in my history class, I mean, seriously. My grade went up to A- to a whopping A+ in just a few months! I am especially interested in the beginning. You know what I mean. Cavemen. The very first humans to ever walk and talk. (I think.) Which is why i'm gonna train to become a scientist, maybe even soon, time traveler when I graduate.

But, for now, I need to live in the modern life and have another ordinary day. Like every other. Most of the time, mornings are usually the worst in my book, because unless I have my headphones with me, I can clearly hear everyone talking about the latest trends, some party, stuff about some celebrities I don't care about, etc. Meanwhile, with me, I had always thought about, why did we humans come this far without being extinct? I do have friends. There's Rainn Pritchard, the comedy relief type guy you'd see in movies, Raven Moss, the diva type, Clark Dickinson, my favorite out of the bunch, and the most smartest, well, other than me, and, of course, the first friend I ever had, Emily Nelson. Or, Emmi, for short.

I ended up having to save her butt from a bully around middle school, and we have been best friends ever since. But, even though I have those four, I still prefer to be alone nowadays. Why? Because, well, I guess i'm kinda used to it. My parents had gotten divorced just when I was starting high school, and for a while, my mom used to take care of me… That is, until she decided to stay with her grandma for the rest of my high school years to take care of her before she would die.

So much for that. The only person now to keep my company is my dog, Ximena. Which, to be honest, is really, really, enjoyable, no need to worry, I make sure I take care of her. I always tell myself it's time to make new friends, and ditch Emmi, Rainn, Raven, and Clark, but I have no motivation to even give them up. I just wanted to go to their hangout meeting or something, work on my homework, then go home to spend my free time with either playing with Ximena, playing video games, or watching some old school anime.

My name is Seana Annika Hawkins the First, but I just go by Seana most of the time. I know, my life in the real world sucks. But we all need to deal with it.


"Alright, everyone, for homework, make sure you study hard for your exam! Have a great day!"

The school day was, as expected, the same old thing, and it was over before I could say, "What the heck just happened?" I pack my things, and get ready to go to the museum, which is where me and my friends will be meeting at today. While I walk out, I suddenly begin thinking about today. Well, it sure isn't gonna get any better anytime soon. It was the usual. We did learn different things, sure. But everything just seemed…. Normal. The same old thing. I just hope that someday, things would change. My dreams would come true. And I wouldn't be called, "Boring". I then arrive at the museum, and put the bike away. I begin to knock on the door, until…

"Wait a minute." I said to myself. "This isn't even a teacher's home or anything."

I breathe in, and breathe out, and open the door. There, I see Raven.

"Just you, Rav?"

"Yeah. I'm just, like, waiting for everyone else to get off their butts and get here. But you, luckily, made it in time, Sean."

"Thanks."

I sit down by Raven, and pull out the IPhone that everyone has been using, which I shouldn't, but since I got it as a gift, I do so anyway, and check some of my updates on my vlog. Yeah, I don't use SnapChat or Instagram or any other one of these dumb apps like the rest of the kids nowadays. But I make a vlog of whatever prehistoric treasures I manage to find.

Then, after a few seconds, Emmi finally burst through the doors, scaring some people, and startling some others.

"Kept you girls waiting, didn't I?"

"Well, for me, not even a little."

She was with another girl. Her name is Amy Davidson. Another long time friend of Emmi.

"I'm sorry!" Said Amy. "I just needed her to help me out on what I should wear to graduation."

I believe you haven't noticed it, but we are all about to graduate high school, and soon, we're all going to move along to college. Yep. Every single one of us.

"Hey, uh, Seana?" I look up, Emmi had asked me something.

"Yes?"

"I have something to show you when we get out."

"Uh… Okay…"

I don't even think I can even trust Emmi anymore. Recently, she gotten herself into some deep hot water after she rigged some game our English class were playing. She even told me that over the summer, she has gained a rebellious streak.

Then, Clark came in next… Aaah… Did I mention I had a crush on him…? No? That's fair. He just nodded hello and sat next to me, showing me the book he has been reading in his spare time. It was some book that came out a long time ago, and it is about some kids who find a closet, and go in it to find some amazing medieval world inside. Now, that sounds like me, only that I wish I had a magical closet that can lead me to another world.

Finally, Rainn entered. And he showed off the latest Nintendo console he just got in the mail. Show off.

And then, after Amy left, we checked in, and then, it was finally time for the moment i've been waiting for.

The museum tour.


My god, was it the best! I saw everything. And I mean, everything. The knights in shining armor, the dinosaurs that walked the Earth, the ancient Egyptians, the pilgrims that sacrificed their lives for ours, and, of course, the cavemen, or, as I like to call them, the first of our kind. I have no idea how long I had looked at each of them, but the one that particularly caught my eye was the one that looked like my age. He had short brown hair, bushy eyebrows, a spear, and what appears to be fur of bear tied with a rope, and he had a orange pig companion with him. I wasn't in love with him, my crush was already Clark, but, he looked free, not dealing with anything, just being himself… I'd give anything away to be like that.

"Wow. Those guys look, weird." Raven said.

"Raven, please." I tell her. "Just have a long, hard look at each of them."

"Ugh, okay, whatever. But just because we're friends, doesn't mean you get to introduce me to your interests, Sean."

She began to look, while Clark comes up to me.

"So, these are the cavemen?" He asks.

"Yep!" I say. "Isn't this wonderful?"

"Yeah. I don't get why everyone else is just… You know."

I giggle. Even though the future looks bleak, I still love it when Clark is around.

"GUYS! This whole thing sucks! I wanna play video games!" Rainn complains, I facepalm. I am seriously about to leave everyone in here at this point. As for Emmi, she was just silent.


Well, until we got out of the museum, she was. After that and our typical summer plans meeting at the diner, or, to me, dinner, we walked home, as usual, and we stop at my house, until I remembered something.

"Hey, Em?"

"Huh?"

"What was it you wanted to show me?"

"I thought you'd never ask!" She then showed me a necklace. With a shining ruby.

"Woah…"

"Did you like it? Some witch doctor was selling these, and I thought, Hey, Emily! Why don't you get one for Seana? You did miss her birthday 2 months ago, after all. So, I apologize in advance, and give you this in my forgiveness."

"Uh…" I stare at it for five minutes.

"Y-you don't like it, do you? If not, I can give it to Amy…"

I finally come up with my thoughts, I was so distracted by the jewel, that I lost my translation. "WAIT! I love it!" It was true, I take it, and put it on. "Thank you so much! I'll wear this forever."

"Heh. Don't thank me, thank my karma for making me trip and fall, and landing at that booth."

I laugh. "I'll see you tomorrow!"

"I know! You say that to me all of the time! See-ya!"

As soon as Emmi was gone, I stare at the jewel a bit longer.

Do I really need this?

Do I really wanna wear it?

I don't know for sure, but, whatever is the case, I need to keep my promise to her.

I immediately feel tired, and look at the time. 7:50 PM. I might as well go to bed now and get a headstart for tomorrow. I walk into my home, make sure I give Ximena her dinner, get myself some water, and then go to my room. I sit down in my bed, and give myself some time to think about the future, will it really be worth it? I'm guessing it'll be a yes, if things stop going the way they usually do.

It was 8:00 PM.

Finally, my body wants to sleep, so I let it sleep.

I may have heard some noises around midnight, but I didn't care. What could've gone wrong?
