And there it stood,

The Chrono Arch

It was literally a time traveling machine and once a certain date was set you could basically go to any time period possible.

It was definitely one of Jimmy's finest inventions. He had worked several months to design the perfect blueprint before putting the structure together. He had to make sure he analyzed everything exactly right and calculated it precisely. He had to, because there was no way he could allow any mishaps or dysfunctions to happen to the arch, for it held the history and future of their world.

"I can't wait Libs!

I bet I go to Harvard and become like America's most powerful CEO"

"I know right, I bet I rule the hip hop world or better yet, the fashion industry!"

Jimmy smiled to himself as the girls continued to go on about their possible futures. He wouldn't admit it, but he liked how Cindy lit up as she talked about it. He knew she was always gonna be something great and he had found out earlier from time traveling that he indeed was right, but he couldn't let her know that.

"Well If you ladies are done now, I have to go over some basic protocol before we depart"

"Proto- what?"

"They're rules Sheen

he sighed in exasperation

just a few rules I need to go over to prevent what happened earlier"

"Oh right, Cindy you might wanna take your mom some heavy duty foot cream!"

She gave him a confused look

"Not what I was referring to" Jimmy replied while rubbing his temples

"Anyways, as I was saying..

I don't want any incidents to happen so I put all things hazardous away from the chrono arch so it won't interfere this time

I also made you guys these communication devices, The Chrono-Chat or CC for short

so we can all keep in touch just in case we get lost"

Libby squealed excitedly as she received her CC.

"It's like my very own cellphone!"

"Also please be careful not to bring back anything from the future, or use the knowledge you gain there to change things currently. Even though you may think it'll benefit, it could negatively affect the course of events for us later on"

"Yeah Yeah Nerdtron, Don't change the course of events, got it

Can we just go already?" Cindy said with annoyance

"Fine"

He then turned on the machine

The lights began to glow brightly around the arch, and a blue portal started to emerge

All the kids stared at it, mesmerized

"Just setting the time and date"

The big headed boy began punching in a series of numbers on his keyboard

"Alright everyone! Let's Go!

It was just like a window, they all could see a beautiful futuristic retroville right before them just waiting on the other side

"My queen, you can go first"

Sheen motioned Libby to lead the way

She blushed at him while she grabbed Cindy's arm

The girls jumped through together

"Okay guys are you ready?"

"Wait Jimmy! I left my chro-chro- umm the chat thing.. What was it called again?"

CC! They shouted in unison at Carl

"Oh yeah that, It's just sitting on the table, I'll be right back"

"Ugh hurry up!" Sheen grew impatient

Suddenly the lights on the Chrono Arch began to flicker

"Whoaa what's happening?"

A loud screech sounded throughout the lab

"I don't know!" Jimmy yelled over the noise, covering his ears

He ran over to his computer desperately trying to figure out how to stop it

Soon the noise ended, while the boys looked at each other horrified

The portal had disappeared

"No this can't be happening! I calculated everything correctly I made sure there was no way the arch could malfunction, this just isn't probable!"

He began to rummage through his blueprints frantically


"Wow this is incredible!"

"This is so cool! I can definitely get used to this"

The girls stood in Retroville Park admiring the looming skyscrapers and hover cars flying above them

"Wait, um Cind, where are the boys?"

"I don't know, they probably went off to find their future selves or whatever"

She said resuming her gaze on the futuristic city

"But they never came out of the portal"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, because I was waiting for Sheen and he never came"

Cindy's eyebrows furrowed as she was thinking of a possible explanation

"If freak brain abandoned us here making this out to be some kind of sick joke, then he's definitely got it coming to him!" she barked whipping out her CC and rapidly dialling it

Suddenly a holographic Jimmy appeared on her screen

Even though she was really impressed by this device, she still was pretty irritated

"Dorktron, Where are you? Why aren't you guys here?

"Uh well you see...thearchmight'vebrokedown" The blue eyed genius quickly said under his breath so she couldn't hear him

"What was that?" the anger in her voice rising

Jimmy rubbed his neck nervously

"Heh uh, well, the Arch kind of.. some what… malfunctioned.. Temporarily though! I'll have it fixed in no time!"

Both of them were now furious,

"NEUTRON!"
