So far Lewis's life had been absolutely, phenomenally perfect.

After Wilbur's departure, Lewis had grabbed the wagon containing the memory scanner, and ran down to his school. He was just in time to wake Goob up from his little nap on the baseball field. From there, he sprinted inside to the wet, froggy, science fair, where he recalibrated the scanner and showed it to everyone. The next day Lucille and Bud had adopted him. Soon after that they had moved into the Anderson observatory and celebrated Lewis's thirteenth birthday.

Lewis (renamed Cornelius) was on his way to greatness. The future was clear… for now.

That one fateful day had changed it all…

DING DONG! DING DONG! DING DONG! Rang the loud chimes of the doorbell. Lewis scurried downstairs to open the large double doors. Who could it be now? He swung open the large doors to find a girl around his age crying.

"Lewis!" she wailed. "He's gone! Wilbur's gone!"

The girl collapsed sobbing onto the doorstep. Long blonde hair stuck to her wet face and as she looked up, chocolate brown eyes glittered with tears. Lewis recognized those eyes normally glittering with innocence.

"Lela?!" he asked, shocked. The last he had seen Lela was when she was eight years old, but that was only a few months ago!

Oh.

Time travel.

Duh.

He helped her up and they made their way to the large game room, which I the future was Lela's. He settled her on the couch and, with difficulty, got her to calm down.

"Lewis, he's gone!" she sniffed.

Lewis had figured that much out for himself already. Lela sat up and looked him directly in the eye.

"None of my family can remember Wilbur. Only me!"

Another dozen tears rolled down her cheeks. Even crying, Lela looked so much different than she had when she was eight. She had grown about a foot taller and grown out her short straight hair so that it was long and wavy past her shoulders. Her scar-less face looked perfectly porcelain.

"Now, explain, Lela," Lewis said soothingly, "what happened. From the beginning."

She took a deep breath and began.

"First, we were celebrating my thirteenth birthday. I had tons of presents and everything was just perfect. But I wondered where Wilbur was. Normally, he's checking out my presents to see if he can steal one, or he gives a huge present to me. Like last year, he and Carl put on this huge show."

She smiled reminiscently and continued on.

"I asked Mom where Wilbur was, and just kind of looked at me weird and said, 'Who's Wilbur?' I stared at her for a second, wondering if she was kidding, but she wasn't. I went to everyone and they all said the same thing! Even you had no idea what I was talking about! I was getting really worried, so I ran up to his room. It was a storage room, Lewis! I knew this had something to do with the time stream, I could feel it in my gut. So I kind of borrowed the time machine and came here." She took a shuddering breath and closed her eyes in anxiety.

"Let's-let's go up to my lab," Lewis offered, hoping he could find something there to help them. Lela nodded solemnly and got up to follow Lewis.

On their way up the high staircases towards the top room, Lela whimpered, "This is taking way too long. Why haven't you invented--"

Lela was cut off by Lewis practically screaming, "HI MOM!" He turned slowly to Lela with traces of fear in his eyes.

"No future talk when we're out where anyone can hear us. 'Kay?"

Lela nodded slowly, now realizing how big of a deal it was if she was caught.

The two of them turned towards Lucille, who was walking the opposite way, downstairs.

"Hi, Cornelius! Who's this?" she asked extra cheerfully. The caffeine patch hadn't worn off yet.

Lewis's eyes got wide. "Um, this-this is…"

Lela quickly interrupted, "Hi, I'm Lela, Lewis's friend from school. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Robinson." The corners of Lela's mouth twitched. It felt weird to call her grandmother 'Mrs. Robinson.'

"Nice to meet you, Lela! Have fun kids!" Lucille trotted downstairs, but then got on the railing and slid down, whooping all the way.

"Wow," Lela whispered as Lucille was out of earshot, "she's had the caffeine patch for a while, hasn't she? She no different or less hyper in the future." Lewis laughed.

"Yeah, the caffeine patches have disappeared, but I think they either dissolved into her skin, or she ate them," Lewis hopped two stairs and approached a silver door.

"So, this… is my lab." Lewis opened the silver door and led her into the large observatory.
