Hi! AOR here, doing mah thang! I came up with the plot of this story whilst being bored in German, which might explain the randomness. I don't own any of the characters excpet Sirius (Who is mine, so stay away! *Brandishes flaming torch*). All of the characters are from the Holes Roleplay I am on! So special thanks to yellow 14, hot chocolate mess, HeatherCullen111, ImperfectPerfection72029, Mrs. JiYong Kwon, hypergeek21 and anyone I may have missed. I also don't own the What If machine, which is from Futurama. Erm... couplings are Zanley, Sirius/Sookie, Magnet/Arista, Alie/Squid and Heather/ZigZag. That's all... I think. On with the story!

Catch ya on the flipside, Holmesies!

Peace!

AOR

"Yo man, knock it off." X-Ray growled as he lay on his bunk, chatting to the other boys. "You've been tinkering for hours. It's getting annoying." The other boys nodded in agreement. Sirius, who had a splattering of oil on one pale cheek, glared at him, silver eyes narrowed. His black curls were almost as wild as ZigZag's and upon close inspection, you could see a nicotine patch on his left wrist.

"I am on the brink of scientific discovery. Please do not interrupt me." He replied, crisp British accent bleeding through. Magnet sniggered.

"What's so funny, Jose?" The lanky teen asked. Magnet glared back at Sirius.

"How are you on the brink of scientific discovery? It's just a hunk of junk. How did you get half of that stuff anyway?" Several of the other boys nodded in agreement. How did Sirius get a TV screen, a blow torch and mask, a can of gold paint and about a ton of metal in the middle of the Texan desert? Sirius suddenly looked very embarrassed.

"Ask no questions and I'll tell you no lies." He replied mysterious, returning to his work.

"Man, I never get anything he says." ZigZag sighed. Armpit sniggered. Zero, who was curled up on the end of Caveman's bed like a cat, stared at the machine with fascination. Caveman stroked Zero's afro gently and he purred.

"What is it, Padfoot?"

"The name's Sirius and this," He gestured to the collection of nuts and bolts screwed onto metal, "Is the What If machine."

"The what?" Armpit asked.

"The What If machine!" Sirius replied, annoyed. The other boys got up and inspected it.

"Doesn't look like one." Twitch commented.

"Well, what does one look like, genius?" Magnet replied. Twitch shrugged.

"Not like that." Everyone except Zero and Sirius laughed.

"What does it do?" Mumble asked, longing to touch the blowtorch, which Sirius quickly snatched away.

"Ask it a 'What If' question and it'll show you a video of what would happen." Sirius said proudly.

"That's bull." Christian said from the doorway. Sirius ignored him and continued to fiddle with the machine."

"Does it work?" He asked, stepping closer. Sirius looked defeated.

"No. Not quite. But it will!" He snarled. Stanley was reminded of his father, so bright and eager about his next project. It almost broke his heart. Zero, noticing this, wrapped his arm around his boyfriend's waist. Christian laughed.

"It's just a stupid piece of metal." He kicked the machine over. Sirius' eyes widened, almost comically. The D-Tent boys all tensed, ready to attack the one who had upset one of their pack.

"You bastard." X-Ray spat. "Do you know how long he's been working on that?"

"Long enough. Aww..." He put on an annoying voice. " Is Poor Baby Sirius missing Queenie?" Sirius was reminded uncomfortable of his father. His insides squirmed at the memory. He then gasped. A puff of purple smoke erputed in the British teen's face, obscuring him from the other boys' vision.

"What's wrong?" Magnet asked, confused.

"Sirius, talk to us!" ZigZag cried, worried when the other boy didn't answer. The smoke cleared and Sirius was again visible but now looked like he had been dragged through a hedge backwards. One of his eyebrows had been singed off. He coughed.

"Oh My God, are you OK?" Squid asked. Sirius nodded, still coughing.

"What happened to the machine?" Twitch poked the burnt-looking invention. Sirius shrugged.

"I have no idea. Probably a technic-" Sirius was silenced by a loud cool feminine voice ringing through the tent.

"Online."

Sirius grinned. All of D-Tent looked gobsmacked.

"No... way!" Christian gasped slowly.

"It's ALIVE!" Sirius shouted, giving out a loud manic laugh. Everyone stared at him. He shook his head rapidly.

"Sorry."

"It actually works..." Stanley was mistified.

"Told you so! You owe me your shower tokens for the next week!" Armpit replied, grinning.

"Don't worry Stanley. I'll win them back in pool." Zero whispered. Stanley smiled and ruffled his hair.

"Now, someone ask the machine a question." Sirius smiled.

"Erm... What if... What if... the sky were green?" Mumble asked. The screen turned blue and a video came on. It was of a green sky and lots of people walking around, just like normal. The video faded.

"Well that sucked." Christian replied.

"I agreed but I suppose, if the sky were green, no-one would know it was supposed to be blue. So everything would be normal. I guess..." Sirius replied. "Someone ask something else."

"What if we never met? No one came here to Camp? What would happen then?" Armpit asked.

"That's a good question." Sirius mused.

"Show all variations?" The voice asked.

"Please." Sirius responded.

"I've got a bad feeling about this..." Zero stated but the screen had already turned blue and the vision began.
