Untitled Phil Of The Future fic

Summary- Time has come for the H.G. Wells Senior Class of '08 to set sail on the trip of a life time! But will it bring Phil and Keely closer together? Or just pull them apart? Only one way to find out.

Disclaimer- OK.. Just stating the obvious. I don't own PoTF.. Sucks, doesn't it?

------------------------------------------------

"So.. I'm sure you're all wondering exactly why I called you all to the auditorium..."

Crickets

"Well... Um, I'll tell you why." Mr.Hackett looked out into the sea of seniors. He cleared his throat, and raked his hand through his hair. 'Oh, wait... I don't have hair!' He recalled to himself.

"Mr.Hackett sucks in front of crowds." Phil whispered to Keely, who giggled but continued to stare at Mr.Hackett make a fool of himself.

"Well, as you all know, at the end of every second semester, the senior class takes their big trip of the year," Mr.Hackett stated the obvious, "So, if you'll all flip to the first page of the Student Handouts that you were given on the way in, then we can get started."

Flips and flaps were heard as students fumbled with the handouts.

"As you can probably see, the trip that you seniors will be taking at the end of next semester, will, indeed, be a Cruise!" He paused as a few 'Whoots' filled the room.

"Turn to the next page, please."

Flip-flap

Mr.Hackett began reading from the second page, "All forms must be returned, signed by both the student and a parent or legal guardian," He went on, "You must fill out your name, home phone-number, emergency phone-number, if by chance an emergency occurs and no one is available at home, address, ap--" He paused as he realized no one was paying any attention, "Just fill it all out!" Heads snapped up, "All forms must also be returned with cash or check of (INSERT REASONABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY HERE) by Friday, November 7, no later than 4:25pm. After that time, forms will no longer be accepted. No exceptions, either.." He then lowered his voice, "Mr. Donnie Ronconcamo" Mr.Hackett said under his breath. "That gives you two months, people! More than enough time!..." He paused, "Well, then.. Now that that's settled, any questions?"

Crickets

"Good." He sighed in relief as he made his way off the stage, just as the bell rang and students began pouring out of the auditorium.

"A Cruise, Phil! Can you believe it?!" Keely continued to stare at the handout, "This is HUGE!!"

"Yeah, a Cruise... That's-- uhm. That sure is something, huh?" He tried to sound excited.

Keely stopped dead in her tracks, as Phil continued to make his way to his locker. She sighed in exasperation and quickly caught up with him.

"Phil! Don't tell me that they don't have Cruises in the future!" She panicked

"Well... They do," He grabbed a few books out of his locker, along with his backpack, "It's just.. they're more... Well.. They're different... than the ones in this century. It's hard to explain, but you get me." He sighed as he closed his locker and made his way to the double-doors, leading outside.

"Ugh! Don't tell me that you're not coming with! You're not actually going to make me go alone, are you?"

"I just might..." Phil teased, "But either way, you've got Via and Owen, right?"

"Well, yah. But... They're not you, Phil! I mean, you can't not, not stay! That isn't not, not right."

"Uhh... Rephrase?"

"Phil, you have to come!" Keely whined, grabbing him by the forearm, forcing him to face her, "Pleeease... Pleasepleasepleaseplease! Please?!" She pleaded sticking out her bottom lip..

Phil gave in, "I'll see, Keels." He smiled as he continued walking, as he soon neared his house

Keely was quick to catch up. "Phil..." She dragged, as he turned and faced her, "Promise you'll at least try to come?" She stuck out her pinky finger.

Phil ignored her pinky as he pulled her into a friendly hug, "Promise." He whispered into her ear.

He pulled away, and made his way up the steps of his porch. "See ya, later, Keel!" He waved.

"Bye, Phil!" She smiled, "Oh, and remember. You. Me. IM. Tonight."

Phil chuckled and made his way into the house.

"A cruise, ehh?" Barb flipped through the packet, skimming each page, "Sounds like fun!" She handed it back to Phil.

"You mean... Just like that?! I can actually go?" Phil was clearly surprised.

"Of course! Why not?"

"Well.. You and Dad normally aren't so forward."

"I'm fine with it.. Just bring me back one of those monkeys!" Lloyd looked up from the TV.

"Dad, the trip's not for another 9 months, and what is with you and monkeys?!"

"Honey," Barb's voice overlapped Phil's, "You're officially a senior... Before you know it, you'll be going to college.. And moving out.. And... You should make the most of what you have left, before time comes for you to shed your teenage years and move onto adulthood... In other words, you should take every upcoming opportunity that you have to enjoy the rest of High School." She kissed Phil's head, and ruffled his hair, "And, either way, this is supposed to be the trip of a life time... A cruise with all of your friends! You should go for it!"

"WHAT?!" Pim could be heard stomping her way down the stairs and into the kitchen with everyone else. "Did I just hear that the seniors are going on a cruise?!"

Phil winced, "Uhm.. Yes...?"

"You mean.. You'll be out having the time of your life, while I'm stuck here with that thing?!" She pointed at Curtis as he walked into the kitchen, retrieved a turkey leg from the fridge, and walked out.

"I'll only be gone for 10 days, Pim."

Pim pouted, "Wasn't my point." She whined her breath.

Phil rolled his eyes, just as the oven buzzed.

"Dinner's ready," Barb announced as she walked over to the over and took out the chicken, "Go get washed up you two."

xXx

As soon as he finished dinner, Phil quickly excused himself from the table and made his way upstairs, into his room.

He opened his laptop and signed into to his IM account, only to find a message from Keely.
