After I reread this story, I found a lot of mistakes in my grammar and spelling. Hopefully I corrected all of them. I added a few more things to it and changed what some of the characters said. I also broke this story down into chapters to make it easier to find the place where you left off at incase you didn't finish reading it the first time. Well, this story takes place in the year 2027, that is until eight children, who were seen at the end of season two, were transported to the year 1999. I hope you like the names I gave the kids, it took me awhile to find names that suited each of them. Oh yeah, there is a smidge of sorato, sorry to the people who don't like the coupling but you know how the ending went. It's kind of hard to write a fic that is not meant to have romance when you know that to destines got married. I know, it wasn't confirmed that they got married but it's obvious that they did. It's debatable whether they divorced or not, I seem to think not but I won't explain my reason to you in my little intro, but if you must know you can ask me. That's enough from me now.

Disclaimer: This fic is the only thing I own. Id not own any of the characters even if I did give most of them names.

Don't Play With Things You Shouldn't

Chapter one: The Mysterious Machine

Far in the future, a group of eight children played in one of the children's house as their parents chatted. The house belonged to a little girl with red hair and her father who was working on a project in his basement, which was off limits. As they played, one of the children with brown hair that stood up became curious of the closed basement door.

"What exactly is your daddy working on and why won't he let us see it?" He asked his friend.

"I don't know exactly, he says it's a surprise." The young girl replied. After saying this, the rest of the children became intrigued.

"A surprise?! Ooh I want to see!" Said a young boy with light brown hair. As he reached out to the doorknob, the young girl with red hair blocked the door with a stern look on her face.

"Come on, I want to see!" Said the boy but she refused to move.

"No my daddy said not to go into the basement!"

"Did he finish it?" Asked a young girl with blond hair. The red head thought for a moment.

"No, I don't think so." the blond girl grinned.

"Well if it's a surprise we wouldn't know what it is if it's not finished so it wouldn't hurt to take a sneak peek would it?"

"I guess not" the red head replied.

"And we would still be surprised when he finishes it because we never saw the whole thing, right?" The blond inquired.

"Uh, I, umm..." the red head stuttered out not knowing what to say. The boy with light brown hair caught on to the blonde's little scheme. He then put his hands on the red heads shoulders and moved her aside.

"So if it's an unfinished surprise we can take a look at it and prepare ourselves for what we're about to expect later!" While the red head was dumbfounded, The boy quickly turned the knob and entered the basement. Six other children followed after him. The sound of the red head's father's voice freed her from her trance.

"As you all know, I have been working on a project in my basement, well I've finally completed it and would like for all of you to see it." The girl panicked as she heard her father and the other parents heading towards her direction. She ran down the stairs where she found her friends trying to pull a large sheet off an object. They were finally successful and a bunch of "ooh's" and "aah's" were heard. It was an odd shaped machine of some sort with a door made of glass.

"Guys we have to get out now!" They didn't listen and began to push buttons to open the glass door. It opened and they all pushed and shoved their way in.

"Wow! What is this thing?" Asked the blond girl's younger brother with chestnut brown hair.

"I don't know, maybe it's some kind of rocket ship." The young boy with brown hair sticking up started to push all sorts of buttons. There were three meters. One was to enter a year, another one was to enter a season, and the last one was the place. He managed to enter the numbers 1-9-9-9 in the year meter, summer in the season meter, and the digital world in the place meter. Suddenly the machine started to shake. The red head ran in front of the glass door trying to warn them that their parents were coming. Instead of running out of the machine, they pulled her in.

"What's that noise?" Asked a woman with chestnut brown hair. The red head's father knew it could only be one thing and dashed to his basement. The other parents did the same. The children screamed as the machine rocked. The parents saw what was happening and ordered their children to get out. Just then the inside of the machine lit up. It was a blinding light, but after it had died down the machine was still there but the children had vanished. The parents stared in shock, not knowing what had happened to their children. None of the parents knew, but the machine was able to send feelings and thoughts to another time. The woman with chestnut brown hair ran up to the machine and lightly touched it. She began to sob. 'Oh please let my children be alright' she thought. She began to feel queasy in her stomach just thinking about what had happened and stepped back from the machine. Her husband ran up to her and held her, just then the machine reactivated and rocked back and forth. A few minutes later it stopped and the computer's mechanical voice was heard saying 'Transportation successful.'
