"Ok boys get out here."Carey yelled out from the middle of the living room.
"What is it mom?" Cody asked, emerging out of his bedroom with Zack hot on his heels.
"Well Maddie canceled tonight. She forgot this is her night to take her grandma to Bingo. So since it is last minute I have no choice but to leave you guys alone." Smirks could be seen on both twins faces. "I'm serious here, I want you two to behave and don't leave this hotel." Carey finished, looking for her last earring. As Carey found her last earring she walked out the door praying that the hotel room will be in one piece when she returns.
"This is so cool!" Zack said diving on the couch and searching for the remote.
"It's just like any other time we are left alone. Except this time it is for a lot longer," Cody replied sitting upside down on the chair.
Finally locating the remote, Zack flipped through the channels 3 times before Cody got fed up. "Will you pick something already!"
Zack turned off the TV and sat down the remote and looked at his brother. "Nothing good is on, what do you say we go down to the game room?" He questioned.
"Well, normally I would agree but I have no money because someone here decided that water was good for my game boy and I had to buy a new one," Cody replied giving his brother a dirty look.
"I told you I was sorry. How was I supposed to know that it was sat next to a full glass of water?" Zack replied.
"Well it wouldn't of been a problem if someone didn't throw a football at me and missed." Cody said crossing his arms. A few moments of silence passed until Zack broke the silence.
"Want to go exploring in the basement again?" he questioned.
"I guess. Just don't get us in trouble." Cody said, walking to their room and putting on his sneakers.
The boys left their room and took the elevator to the second floor. Then they got off and went to the stairs and headed down two stories until they arrived in the basement.
"Well, we already know what's that way." Zack said once they arrived, pointing down on side of the hallway. That way led to Arwin's office and the part of the basement that they already have explored. "So lets go this way."
The boys wandered around for a while opening every door and seeing what was inside. Most of the rooms were mechanical rooms filled with boilers and pipes that kept the hotel running. They wandered down the whole hallway and arrived at the last door.
"Storage." Cody read the sign hanging next to the door out loud. Zack then reached forward to the handle and turned it. After a few seconds of fumbling around in the dark for the light switch Cody finally located it. Once the light turned on it reveled a large room, once the size of at least four suites. Inside was nothing but furniture.
Upon further investigation the boys located a front desk identical to the one only one story above their head. They also saw at least three dozen couches, ones identical to the one in their suite and other random furniture that they recognized form around the hotel.
"This must be all the extra furniture for the hotel." Zack stated eyes still wondering around the vast room. He and his brother continued to marvel the size of the room working their way deeper and deeper. After a maze of furniture stacked every which way, they noticed the wall on the far side of the room. As Cody made his way in front of his brother to get to the giant stack of TVs that caught his eye, the power suddenly stopped.
"Whats going on?" Cody asked. Zack noticed the fear in his brothers voice and decided to comfort him. "The hotel probably just blew a breaker, the power should come back on in a few seconds."
Without notice, the building started shaking and weird popping noises could be heard all around. They continued to get louder and louder and finally with a large crash everything was over and the power was back on.
"What was that?" Cody questioned once again.
"I don't know but I don't want to figure out." Zack said making his way back to the door. Cody followed his brother, and moments later he ran into the back of him.
"Why did you stop Zack?" Cody asked brushing the dust off of himself.
"Was that there when we came in?" Zack said, pointing to the corner of the room.
As Cody turned his head, he knew what his brother was talking about. In the corner that moments before was empty, now was full. It looked like a pure metal box with hoses and wires hanging out every which way.
"Is that one of Arwin's experiments?" he asked turning his head back to Zack.
"It looks like it but how did it just suddenly appear?" Zack said slowly walking closer to the mysterious object.
Suddenly a jet of air was expelled from the front of the box and a makeshift door was opened. Once this started to happen the boys took cover behind a couch and just started in awe. With a crash the door slammed up against the side of the metal and a pair of feet could be distinguished from the smoke within.
"C'mon Zack. I'm scared. I want to get out of here," Cody pleaded. Zack did nothing. All he was able to do was stare. Without his brother Cody dared not move from his spot. Moments later a small figure could be seen climbing out of the metal box.
"Ok, Zack lets go." Cody urged. The boys continued to watch as the small figure walked around the box and examine it. Zack noticed that the figure looked about the same size as him and if he wasn't mistaken he thought that it was a kid around his age. It looked as if the kid was wearing black leather and had short blond hair. The kid after examining his vessel started to examine the room. As Cody shifted around to hide further behind his brother he bumped a box which sent a lamp crashing to the floor.
"What was that?" Zack heard the kid say to himself.
Figuring that the kid couldn't do much harm to him Zack slowly walked into the light and out from his cover.
"It was me, well actually my brother." Zack stated calmly.
"I only see you." the kid stated plainly.
"Cody, stop being scared and get out here." Zack ordered and soon his brother was standing behind him.
There was a long silence as the twins examined this new kid and the new kid examined his surroundings.
"What year is this?" the kid asked, causing a slight chuckle from Cody who now seemed more curious then scared.
"It's 2006." Cody stated. "Why do you ask?"
"It actually worked." the kid stated triumphantly.
"What did?" Zack asked dumbfounded.
"Well I don't think you guys will believe me but what the heck. This is a time machine that I invented and this was my first time trying it out. I only wanted to go 52 minutes into the past but I messed up and I guess I went 52 years." the kid stated pulling out a laptop from the time machine.
"So your from 2058 then right?" Cody asked. He noticed the nod from the kid as he began typing on the laptop.
"The only problem is I don't have enough power left in my batteries to get home. It seems that I made a miscalculation." the kid said as he closed his laptop.
"Well we can help, or Arwin can!" Cody stated.
"I appreciate your help but I need a lot of power to return and I don't think there is a way to get the amount I need." the kid stated
"In that case we will help with whatever you need. My name is Cody Martin and this is my brother Zack." Cody said holding out his hand.
The kid shook it and said, " My name is Will, Will Robinson."
