Okay, I'm back. Let the fun begin, mysteries unravel and chaos ensue!


"That's the last time I let anyone else control the Time Machine 09 besides me. Well, I guess I should explain. Hi, it's me Lantern, but I'm from the future."

Awkward silence. Again.

"The future?" Dream finally said.

"Then where's the other Lantern?" Wish asked.

Older Lantern blinked. "Other…" She looked around noticed her past self wasn't here. "Well.. this is just magnificent." she said, sarcasm dripping off her voice. "First of all, what happen to the other Lantern?"

"She disappeared." 3P answered, unsure.

"How?"

"Flash of light."

"Was it greenish, like the northern lights?"

"…Yes?…"

"This is bad. Second of all, what year is it?"

"2015." said Phoenix, slightly unnerved at the fact Older Lantern had so many weapons strapped to her waist.

"Well, this sucks. Wrong coordinates. Curse him. The Time Machine should've came with me." she gestured to the room. "And as you can see, there is no huge, metal bronze closet around here, huh?" The last part was extremely sarcastic.

"Wait!" said Dream. "Do you know what happened to other Lantern?"

"Well, I'm guessing we swapped places. She's probably in 2019 right now. What's she's doing? I don't know."

"Does that we're stuck with a 17 year old Lantern forever?" Phoenix said without thinking. "Uh… sorry." She added, genuinely sorry.

"No problem." Lantern said, giving her something of a lopsided smile.

For some reason that relaxed the GMAD members a bit. 13 year old Lantern smiled at least two times a minute. Older Lantern had been here for three and hadn't shown any sign of joking around, at all. She used to bouncier, and a lot less serious.

This meant at some point in the future, Lantern was going to change and start to be cold. But what exactly caused the change?

And why exactly was the sword so huge?

"So." Older Lantern said, clapping her hands together to get their attention. "the only option is to make another time machine here. Then, you should get your Lantern back as soon as I leave."

"Should?" ask Ace.

"Well," Older Lantern's grin faded and she went back to frowning. "Yeah. Did she say she was going through a rift?"

"Yes?" 3P answered.

"Well then. My guess is right. I was never the best mechanic but I do have a small way with machines. Where do you keep the tools?

"Wait… you're actually building one… here?" asked Wish, arching an eyebrow.

"Yeah…" Older Lantern looked slightly miffed. "So?"

"We're helping you." Dream said.

"Why?" Older Lantern asked without a simple 'thank you.'

"If it'll get the younger Lantern back, I'm all for it." Dream answered, crossing her arms. The other GMAD members nodded.

Older Lantern blinked. "O…kay then." She gave another crooked grin. "Already sick of me, 'eh? Let's get to work on that machine."


Sorry it was so incredibly short. Don't forget to review.
