A/N: This is probably gonna turn out really stupid XD but I hope you like it anyway. It was just a random idea I got when I was looking at all the artifacts on the Warehouse 13 Wikia page.
The Warehouse was silent. Actually, it was almost silent. You could hear rain pound the roof of the building, and, the occasional thunder that sometimes shook everyone and everything. Rattling of artifacts nearby could be heard. Pete, Myka and Claudia sat at the table in the main room, waiting for the storm to stop.
"Someone tell me again, why are we sitting here?" Myka asked.
"Artie said, on storms like this, there could be artifacts acting out because of static disturbance caused by lightning." Claudia spoke as if she couldn't get any more bored, and laid her head down on her arms. "Ugh, this is poopid."
"Poopid?" Pete asked. He looked like he was going to start laughing.
Claudia raised her head and stared Pete in the eyes. "Yeah, poop plus stupid," She said, bobbing her head left and right. Claudia was not amused by this, and put her head back down. Myka stood up and went to look at the rows, making sure everything was okay with the artifacts. "How come Artie gets to leave and be with Vanessa?" Claudia asked, her voice louder. The wood in the table projected her sound to Pete, who had just laid his head down too.
"Because he's always here?" Pete suggested. "Let the man get out more." He swatted his right arm at the door.
"Hey, guys, is anyone else here?" Myka asked. She already knew what the answer was supposed to be.
"Pff, no, of course not," Pete replied, standing up to stretch.
"But I just saw someone over by the Rumple-" Myka stopped and slapped her hand over her mouth.
"What?" Pete asked. He didn't get what was going on. Claudia bit her bottom lip and ran to the computer, typing in what they were trying to say.
"Here," she said to Pete, pointing at the monitor.
"Rumpel-" Pete read. He was interrupted by an awkward slap on his rear end. He jumped and turned around and saw Myka standing behind him, her eyes widening. "did you just-"
"I couldn't reach your face," Myka interrupted quickly. "You cannot say its name."
"Sure," Claudia said, almost laughing. "I bet you just did that cause-"
"I couldn't reach his face." Myka's neck got longer. "We need to go check… its case." Myka pointed behind her.
"Well, I'll stay here so if any other artifacts go wonky, I can let you know," Claudia said, patting her Farnsworth. Pete took his out of his pocket, shook it a few times, and put it back in.
"Let's go," Pete said. He put his arm out as if he wanted to skip with Myka. She walked.
"Do you think Artie'll be mad at us for being down here? He did say specifically not to come down here looking for things." Myka led Pete down through the many aisles because he had no idea where they needed to go.
"Pff, no." Pete paused. "I don't think so," he said, unsure. "Anyway, making sure everything is in place is more important than getting yelled at by Artie." Myka nodded in agreement and continued walking.
Claudia was startled when her Farnsworth started ringing in the middle of silence. She opened it and saw Artie's face on the screen.
"Is everything okay over there?"
"Yes, grumps, everything's fine," Claudia replied, obviously lying. She waved her hand as she spoke.
"Where's Pete and Myka?" Artie asked. "I need to speak with them."
"They're…. unavailable right now," Claudia said, thinking of something to make up that sounded a little convincing at the least.
"What do you mean, unavailable?" Artie said. He pushed his glasses up his nose with his index finger and gave her the look. He knew she was lying, and Claudia knew that.
"Uh," Claudia started. She knew Pete and Myka would kill her later, but it was the best fake-excuse she had. "They're… making out… Artifact disturbances..," she said, exhaling loudly as she spoke. She couldn't look at Artie when she said it.
"They're what? Well, make them stop!" Artie yelled.
"I can't, Grumps, I tried before. They're kind of…. Stuck," she lied.
"I'm coming back," Artie declared.
"No, no, no, no, no, you don't need to. I can find the artifact and bag it," Claudia said. Artie sighed.
"Alright. Just stop them before they get too… frisky," Artie told her, almost like he knew what artifact it could be. Claudia widened her eyes.
"Yeah, okay, bye," she said, closing the Farnsworth. That was something she never wanted to hear ever again.
Pete and Myka headed down a long, fairly empty aisle. Something was scattered across the floor. Pete sped up to investigate.
"Hey!" He said, bending down to pick them up. "My marbles!"
"You have marbles?" Myka asked, surprised.
"Yeah, sometimes Claudia and I—"
"I don't even want to know," Myka said. Pete was about to pick up some of the marbles. "Hey! No glove, no love." Pete rolled his eyes and sighed.
"I don't have any," Pete replied. He expected Myka to whip out a pair from wherever she could put them, but she never did. She just rolled her eyes and leaned to her left. Thunder echoed through the Warehouse as Pete touched one of the marbles. In the blink of an eye, all the marbles were back on the floor except for one, which was stuck in Pete's fist. Pete was lying there, eyes closed.
"Pete?" Myka said, bending over to try and wake him up. She pulled out his Farnsworth and called Claudia.
Pete opened his eyes and was sitting at the B&B. Leena walked in and saw Pete.
"So today was the day," she muttered to herself. She sat down across from him.
"Leena, what's going on? How'd I get here?" Pete asked. He could swear she looked older.
"You're about 6 years in the future right now," Leena told him. "By touching one of those marbles, it took your consciousness here. You're just an observer; no one else can see you."
"But then how can you see me?"
"I can see your aura. I can't see you." She stood up. "You can look around and see what's changed, if you'd like. Just keep in mind you can change this future. This is not an exact future, it's only a possibility."
"Okay," Pete said. He got up and left the room. The B&B looked a lot different now, like it expanded. There was a door that led to a house attached. I wonder whose house that is, Pete thought. He opened the door and walked in and saw himself coming down some stairs. The future Pete wore a suit, with his tie undone. He started working on it, but gave up and turned around to grab a banana. Myka came down the stairs shortly after and kissed him, fixing his tie for him. She kissed him. She kissed him?
