Only Time Keeps Us Apart
Nothing was more stranger than seeing Wilbur Robinson so focused on an assignment. He had been at his computer screen since morning. He usually did his assignments on the last minute.
"At least he's being dedicated to his school work for once." Franny said earlier.
If only his parents knew that he had finished his assignment ages ago and he was know actually looking up information on a super called Invisigirl. His assignment had been on The Incredibles, as it was about the age of the supers. He saw one picture of the young super and recognized her as someone he had seen before. As if from a dream…
Long, black hair and ocean, blue eyes. A cute girl his age and him feeling as if they were meant to be.
He had had that dream before. The first time was after his 16th birthday and just recently before he woke up this morning. Is it normal to dream the exact same dream twice? It was exactly the same. The same blue eyes that had been staring into his and he felt he could swim in them forever. It was even weirder when he saw a photo of Invisigirl and she had the same features as the girl in his dream. If it wasn't for her mask he would've been able to tell if it was her. But as he gotten deeper into his investigation he learnt that she disappeared in 2006. Her last mission was called "The return of an old foe". She was attacked and nothing but her mask was left. She couldn't have vanished completely into thin air. Even if her powers did do that. Did the beam disintegrate her or something? He wanted to know exactly what happened. He had a way of finding that out. It was Wilbur's way of being able to see the past and relieve it. Yup, it was the time machine. It had been ages since he last used it. Like three years ago. After altering his existence a few years back he decided to stop using the time machine so he wouldn't have to feel that experience again.
The feeling of nothing. Everything he had ever achieved was forgotten, everyone who loved him never did and all memories of him were washed away. This time however he wouldn't alter his existence and he would only come for what he was looking for. He wasn't going to stay long enough to interfere with the time stream. Simply it was a get in get out kind of thing. If he was lucky the time machine would still be in the garage safely locked up and not inside the time lab where it had been almost impossible to break into last time.
He walked over to his travel tube and he was sucked up and when he landed he arrived in the Robinson garage. Dad was at work and mom never went in here. That was good news for him to get to the time machine without getting caught. He found it in a far corner in the garage. It was still gleaming red, after all these years. Still looking brand new. Wilbur expected it to be dusty. His question was "did it still work?" he opened the hatch and jumped inside. It felt a bit smaller to him now. Did he really grow that much in three years?
He started it up and yes it still worked. The roof opened and he flew the time machine up and disappeared inside the bubble.
If only Wilbur knew that this trip would change his life forever.
AN: So this story has been on my iPad for a while and I finally decided to put it up. This is an edited version. Well enjoy.
