Shelby and Cyd came together in a hug. "I can't wait for more adventures in the future," Shelby spoke, her eyes closed. When she opened them, she found herself strapped to the table in the future lab, Cyd was strapped to the table next to her. "Dang it!" she exclaimed. "I said 'future'."
"So we make sure that when we're hugging or touching we never say 'future' or even think about it," Cyd spoke. "All right, let's head back." She reached her hand, which was never strapped to the table, over to Shelby.
"No," Shelby spoke. "We need to figure out how far into the future we are and figure out if we can prevent this from happening. Before the man in the suit comes in, we go back and get scissors to cut out of the restraints and then get out of here. Maybe my dad will know something."
"What if he's involved in this?"
"We jump back and keep trying to figure out what we can do to prevent this from happening."
"Okay." Cyd reached for Shelby's outstretched hand. They went back to the time they had left from and got scissors like they had done once before when they ended up in the future lab. When they returned, they cut themselves free and got off the tables.
When they got to the door, they were surprised that it opened for them. Apparently it never crossed the minds of the employees at GDD that time travelers would be able to time travel out of their restraints so-to-speak, then again, this was probably the first time they'd ever dealt with time travel and time travelers.
After a couple twists and turns, the girls found their way out of the room. "It's the Pelican Ball Room!" Cyd exclaimed. "They trapped us in the Pelican Ball Room."
"I can't believe it," Shelby spoke. "I really thought it would have been a ball room with a pelican theme, or with pelicans in it."
Cyd let out a light laugh. "Well, your dad's office should be around here somewhere. We should hurry up and find it before they see that we're missing."
"Yeah, you're right."
"Cyd, Shelby?"
"Dad!" Shelby exclaimed.
"What are you two doing here, you should be in school."
Shelby and Cyd shared a look when Shelby's dad spoke. Obviously, he either had no idea about them being trapped in the Pelican Ball Room, or he didn't know it was them.
"I just missed you so much," Shelby spoke.
Norm furrowed his brow. "I saw you this morning before I left for work, five hours ago."
"But five hours is just too long for a girl to be away from her daddy." Shelby went over to her dad and put her arms around him to give him a hug.
He hugged her back. "This is nice, but I really need to get back to work."
"What are you working on, Mr. Marcus?" Cyd asked.
"Well," he started, lowering his voice. "I'm not really supposed to be telling you about this, but I guess we have the two teenage girls who are time travelers here and I need to go meet with Janet Smythe about them."
"WHAT!" Shelby and Cyd exclaimed at the same time.
"It's been all over the new since about 9 this morning, I'm surprised you haven't heard anything about it," Norm spoke.
"What are they going to do to them?" Cyd asked, trying not to let her nerves get the better of her. She could tell it was starting to get to Shelby.
"I suppose experiment on them, ask them how it's possible, try to figure out how we can use it for scientific advances," Norm explained.
"And you're okay with this?" Shelby asked, her voice shaking, her dad didn't pick up on it.
"Why not?"
"What if it was Shelby and I, Mr. Marcus? What if they were holding us hostage to experiment on us?" Cyd asked.
Norm drifted off in thought. "Well, I guess if it was you two, I'd want to make sure they weren't going to hurt you with the experiments and make sure you knew what they were doing and had agreed to it."
The girls sighed in relief.
"But we don't need to worry about that since it's not you two, that's ridiculous," he laughed.
"Not as ridiculous as you think," Shelby mumbled under her breath. Cyd let out a light laugh.
"What?" Norm asked.
"Nothi–" Shelby was cut off by the sudden, loud, blaring of alarms.
"The time travelers escaped! How could you let them escape!" came the voice of Janet Smythe, followed by the sound of a person falling down. She quickly stormed out of the Pelican Ball Room.
"Uh-oh," Shelby and Cyd said together, turning to look at one another.
"What?" Norm asked.
"There they are, get them!" Janet exclaimed.
"RUN!" Shelby yelled. She and Cyd dashed behind her dad but he took their arms and stopped them. "Dad, let us go, we have to go."
"What are you talking about?" Norm asked Janet. "This is my daughter and her best friend. Are you suggesting that they're time travelers?"
"They are," she said, moving forward, he blocked her from getting to them.
"They're just ordinary, senior girls in high school," he said. "There's no way my daughter can be a time traveler."
"Well she is. We've been watching her and her friend there for about three years and they certainly aren't ordinary girls."
"Dad, what's the date today?" Shelby asked.
He opened his mouth to reply but was cut off by Cyd.
"There's no time to figure that out now, we have to go!" Cyd reached over and grabbed Shelby's hand. In a flash, they were back in their room.
"That was too close," Cyd said, falling onto her bed.
"What you do that for!" Shelby exclaimed. "We were about to find out exactly when we get trapped in the future lab."
"Well, I didn't want to chance it. Besides, did you hear your dad, it happens during our senior year."
"And they've been watching us for years. What if they're watching us right now?" Shelby asked, looking out the window for anything suspicious.
"We'll just have to be careful of where we time travel so they can't get any proof that we're time travelers. They can't keep us there if they can't prove anything," Cyd said.
"But they'll still try," Shelby remarked. "And we can't afford to let that happen."
"Then we never talk about time traveling in public and we make sure we're somewhere where other people or cameras can't see us when we do time travel, all right?"
"I guess," Shelby agreed.
"Good. Now let's get something to eat."
"Yeah, we better get to school. Barry said he had something to show us." Cyd and Shelby grabbed their backpacks and headed downstairs to get breakfast.
There was no denying they were going to face impending doom, but maybe they could make short jumps to the future lab to figure out exactly how they could avoid the future lab ever happening in the first place. Hopefully, as long as they took care in when they time traveled, they'd never end up in the future lab for real.
A/N: So in the past couple days I watched all of the episodes of Best Friends Whenever and was inspired to write my own version of another time when they end up in the future lab and what they find out in that trip, thus, this was born.
Hope you enjoyed. Review and let me know what you thought about it, what you liked and didn't like. Thanks for reading,
