After everything went back to normal, in the small town of Thneedvile, a boy named Theodore Wiggins, a 17-year-old boy, was in his new, plant-growing backyard, waving goodbye to his girlfriend, Jessica. He wore a red striped t-shirt with a grey, long-sleeved undershirt and faded blue jeans along with plain black converse. He sighed happily as he watched his girlfriend walk away. Jessica, Ted's 16-year-old girlfriend, had long blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She was desired by every boy at Ted's school. Ted kept wondering how a girl like her could like a guy like him. Ted smiled and got before walking to his garage. He opened his garage door, hearing a creaking sound from the old thing, and walked inside. He walked up to an old, tall object that was covered by a dusty blanket. He smirked before pulling the blanket off the object.
"I missed you, my old friend," Ted mumbled and smiled slightly. The object was an invention that he created three years ago after he planted the last Truffula seed. The invention was called the "Ted-o-matic". It was a time machine that Ted had taken months to create, yet it wasn't finished quite yet. The machine just need to a few parts.
"Let's get to fixing," he told himself before grabbing his tool box and started to fix the "Ted-o-matic."
After a few hours of fixing his machine, Ted wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead and sighed in relief before smiling at his work.
"Finished," he said to himself before hearing the garage door open behind him. He turned around and saw his Grammy Norma standing the old doorway.
"Ted, dinner's ready," she spoke before her eyes traveled from Ted to his newly fixed machine, "Oh, what's that?"
"Um, Grammy, this is my invention. It's called the 'Ted-o-matic'," he said and motioned to the machine. Grammy Norma raised an eyebrow at the machine.
"Really? What does it do?" Grammy asked as she looked towards Ted. Ted rubbed the back of his neck before smiling slightly.
"It's a time machine and I just finished working on it. It should be able to work now," Ted said before pressing a small, dimly lit, green button that was above the machine's door. The machine began to rumble and tremble as dozens of little lights flashed on and off all around the machine. Ted stood beside his Grammy and placed his arms in front of his face like a shield as he braced himself. A few seconds later, a bell rang softly. Ted moved his arms away from his face and smiled brightly. The time machine was actually working!
"It works! Whoo-hoo!" Ted exclaimed and fist pumped the air as he jumped up and down. All Grammy Norma could do was smiled at her grandson's working creation.
"I can't believe it! It actually works! Yes!" Ted exclaimed again and smiled. Norma turned to her grandson.
"To find out if it really works, travel in it. Tell me how it works," Norma suggested and Ted nodded.
"Well, when you press this button," he motioned towards the green button that he had previously pressed, "it powers up the machine and you it to power up, so that this keypad can work." He turned the machine around to Norma and she saw a medium sized keypad.
"What does the keypad do?" Norma asked and Ted smiled.
"Well, you can enter any date, time, or place into it. If you don't know any of those, you speak into this microphone," he said and pointed to the microphone above the keypad, "and you say where you want to go."
"That is fantastic, Ted," Norma said happily and looked at her grandson, "Do you have any place in mind?" Ted nodded and laughed nervously.
"Yeah, I-I do, but I'll do that after we eat," he said and went to the garage door, "Come on, Grammy."
"Alright, Ted," Norma said and followed Ted out of the garage.
Sorry that this chapter is so short. I promise that it will be longer.
