It was the year 2020, and Cody Martin had just finished polishing his new time machine. He smiled at it admiringly. At the ripe age of 28, he had successfully become what was known as an inventor. He had been trying for the past ten years to create a machine that travelled through time, and finally, all of his work had paid off. Cody threw his head back in evil laughter, and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Now it is time for Zack to PAY!" as he rubbed his hands together mischievously. And with that, he stepped into his machine and set the date for January of 2004, when he and his brother had been only 12.
The time machine landed with a loud clunk. While the sound it made was audible to everyone in this time just like it would have been if it were from this time, it was only visible to Cody. As he stepped out of his machine, he took in his surroundings. He was in the Tipton, in his and his brothers' old room that they had shared. He saw the younger version of himself in the bed he used to sleep in, and Zack curled up in his own bed.
Twelve year old Cody sat upright in his bed, looking all around the room frantically, "Zack. Zack, what was that noise?" His voice shook with uncertainty. Zack stirred only slightly, "I don't know dude, maybe it was big foot. I know you pissed him off when you said that he was only a myth." He muttered, face down in the pillow.
"No, Zack, be serious! What do you think it was?" The younger twin exclaimed. "Don't know, don't care. Leave me alone and go back to sleep!" He proceeded to roll over and snore, leaving Cody to deal with his fears all alone. Figures, older Cody thought to himself. Zack never did do anything for me at all. All he did was pick on me and leave me when I most needed him. Well now he is going to pay for his mistakes. 28-year-old Cody walked over to his sleeping brother, running a hand down his back causing Zack to shiver. He smiled evilly at the still form of his 'big' brother, thinking about how he was going to punish him for all of his misdeeds.
His plans would have to wait though, since his younger self was still awake and alert. He couldn't risk anything that would jeopardize the fun he was going to have. Though no one would be able to see him except Zack, his younger self could still see Zack, and if he was talking to an invisible person then he may get a little suspicious. He waited patiently, sitting on the end of his brothers' bed, continuing to run his cold fingers over Zacks face and hands.
