Corinne D'artagnon, a twenty year old, blond haired blue eyed nusketeer, knocked on King Louis' office door.
Louis almost immediately opened the door, his brown eyes sparkling "Hi!"
Corinne chuckled "You wanted to see me?"
"Yes. I'm working on this new invention and I wanted you to see it."
"Okay."
Louis led her up the stairs and into a large room "There it is!"
Corinne looked to where he pointed, her eyebrows raising "It's… um… It's…" she had no idea what it was. It had an odd shape and… well. She thought the contraption in the training room looked odd, she had no idea. Okay, it looked like a giant wooden egg with the inside hollowed out and lots of accessories "Louis?"
"Yes?"
"What is it?"
Louis chuckled "I had a feeling you'd ask."
Corinne placed her hands on her hips "Well, it's big, odd and looks like nothing I've ever seen before. What is it?"
"You'll see." He took a potted flower off of a shelf and sat it inside the mschine, then he began to turn some knobs that were on the outside "Name a date."
"Um…" Corinne shrugged "The twelfth century."
"Okay." He turned the knobs "Get ready." He said.
Corinne quickly distanced herself as far as possible "What is it supposed to do?"
Louis pulled a long rope that was connected to the inside of the machine "Wait for it…" there was a small beep, then nothing happened. Louis sighed "Well, I guess it didn't work."
Corinne sighed with relief "Maybe it's for the best. What was it?"
Louis shrugged "Maybe." Then he gasped "Wait! I think I know what I forgot! Be right back. Then he ran from the room."
Corinne shook her head and smiled as she leaned against the wall "Louis. You are crazy."
She stared at the machine. Did it just move?
She shook her head "Corinne, you're just imagining things."
The machine gave a low groan, and a bright light began to form on the inside.
Corinne stared at it. Was this good or bad? She ran over to the door "Louis!" she called down the hall "Come here! Quick!"
Louis ran into the room "What?"
Corinne pointed to the machine "Is that right?"
"I don't know." Louis answered.
The light suddenly shot from the machine and hit Corinne. The explosion was blinding. When it settled, the machine was still there, but Corinne was gone.
"Corinne?" Louis called frantically "Oh no." he looked over at the time machine. "Corinne's somewhere in the twelfth century, and the machine's still here!" Now. He had to find a way to get her back… before her friends found out.
