A/N: So there is this headcanon going around on Tumblr, saying that Sugar is the Brittana baby who travelled from the future to see her mothers as teenagers... I couldn't help myself but write something about it. Hope you like it!

Chapter 1: Brittany's Time Machine

Sugar is 5 when she first stumbles on Brittany's time machine.

"Mom, what is it?" she says, opening her eyes wide and making a move to touch the iron device.

"No honey, don't touch!" Brittany shouts.

Brittany never yells at her daughter, and this latter is so surprised that she quickly removes her hand from the strange iron box and starts crying. Brittany feels guilt rise in her chest, and takes her daughter in her arms.

"I'm sorry baby, I just don't want you to get hurt…" she says, trying to comfort the crying little girl.

"But… What is it?"

Brittany considers the question, not knowing if she can answer honestly. What if it only deepened her curiosity? What if she decided to try it someday? What if… But looking into the deep brown eyes of her daughter, she can't help but tell the truth.

"It's a time machine, but it's not ready yet. It could be very dangerous, you understand?"

The little girl calms down slowly and nods.

"You have to promise me to never touch it. Ok, honey?"

Sugar nods again, this time solemnly, and extends her pinky to her mother.

"Pinky promise?"

"Pinky promise."

Brittany leaves the garage, her daughter still in her arms, not forgetting to lock the door behind her.

She shuffles the key deep into the pocket of her jeans.

I should be more careful about this.

Sugar is 17 the second time she finds herself in front of the time machine. She's had a huge fight with Santana; the principal has called again, and Santana has been lecturing her for ten minutes about how she has to stop being so honest with people in high school, because it can only end up badly for her.

"Why? You were an angel when you were in high school, maybe?"

She doesn't miss the guilty look Santana gives Brittany, and it sends her over the edge. After slamming the door behind her, she wanders for a while in the garden. But it's the middle of winter, and wow, it's really cold… She could go back inside, but it would be admitting that her mother was right. And Sugar is a stubborn teenager.

She's leaning against the garage door when it creaks open under her weight; she stumbles in surprise, loses her balance, and falls on the floor. While she gets back up on her feet, she looks around her, a bewildered look on her face. The garage is never open, and it's one of the few mysteries of their family life; every time she has mentioned it to her mothers, they have shrugged it off; Brittany looking away, and Santana laughing that she should worry about something else, because a dusty garage isn't really something she wants to spend time worrying about.

But Sugar doesn't have anything else to do right now, and she starts exploring the garage. It's almost empty, and it doesn't take long for her to find the mysterious iron device. It's a little rusty, but surprisingly, it seems to be in a very good shape. It looks like a huge box, in the shape of a ball; there's a door on the left side, and Sugar opens it.

The inside of the box is quite small, but just big enough for her to fit in. There's an old seat, and she sits there, looking around her with her brow furrowed.

Just in front of her, there's a complex board with numbers, buttons and control sticks. She doesn't understand anything, but on the left side of the board, she spots a blue button with the letters "ON" written on it. When she pushes it, the dusty board lights up, and the door beside her closes and locks itself. She tries to push it but the door is solid, and she can't get to open it. She starts to panic, feeling trapped in the restricted space of the box, and starts hitting the walls, shouting. "Mom! Mom! Help me! Get me out of here please, I'm sorry!"

But her voice echoes in the restricted space, and she knows they can't hear her from the house. The garage is too off-centered.

Panic rises in her chest, and Sugar starts shaking uncontrollably. The box is totally closed, and there's no way the air can enter; at this rhythm, she could be dead within minutes. She already feels the air become rarer and rarer around her; she has to get out of here, and she has to do it fast.

She takes a deep breath in order to calm down and looks at the board in front of her, but she doesn't understand anything to the numbers and complicated control sticks and buttons that cover it. She starts to push the "ON" button again, but it doesn't work. She can't see any "OFF" button anywhere on the board.

She loses her temper again, and starts pushing all the buttons, pulling all the control sticks she can, hoping to find one that will open the door.

"Come on, come on!"

The box starts shaking, slowly first and then faster and faster; Sugar stops everything and watches, helpless, the lights going on and off as the box shakes uncontrollably now.

Oh my God… What did I do? She thinks, tears filling her eyes as fear rises in her chest.

She doesn't have time to think about her imminent death before a dazzling light forces her to close her eyes.

The box shakes in one final stroke before giving in; Sugar sinks into unconsciousness.

When she opens her eyes again, everything is dark around her. She can't see anything.

What happened to me? Where am I?

A/N: Should I just leave it here or write more? I hope you liked it anyway!
