Chapter 2: The Test Run

After seeing that Sly ad remembered the gang and all, I decided to find out his logic for leaving, only I didn't really test my time machine yet, so things didn't work out so well...

Well, I'd waited a few days, to try to fix some things on the machine, before I traveled back in time. Penelope wanted to come, but I told her the first use was to dangerous, since I didn't really know just quite how well this would work.

I told her I loved her, I'd be careful, and that I'd make sure to take my inhaler, gave her a kiss, and left.

I had set the time back to March 23rd, 2006 (That was the day we took out Dr. M) and pressed the big red button.

Usually, big red buttons are bad news, but I figured I'd give them a good rep for once.

The machine started to shake rattle and buzz. I felt strange. Something was wrong, and it was too late. The damage had been done.

Luckily, I also took a brown bag (It's use, I don't think I should inform you of) and took care of my…problem.

"Oh God! Something's coming u-"

After the…situation with the bag and my snack from earlier that day…everything stopped. I pushed the time machine doors open. I was still at my lab. My first thought was:

' Bentley! You're a genius! You're back in time!'

To me, it didn't matter what time I was at, as long as I went back, after all, this was a test drive. Suddenly, Penelope ran up to me.

"Where were you? Where'd you go? How long were you there, cuz it seemed like you never left!"

"What do you mean? I'm not back in time?" I asked.

"Hmmm…nope, if you didn't go anywhere other than here, then no"

"Rats!"

My test run had failed. That meant I still had some more work to do with the time machine before I was ready to try again. Next time, I think I'll take Penelope along, just in case something worse happens. Penelope and I spent the next few days working on the time machine, throwing in a few test runs here and there. We finally reached the point where we did something right. We tested it again, and made it back thirty seconds in the day. We had done it! We had traveled back in time!

Sure it was only thirty seconds, but if we work harder, we could go back thirty minutes, then days, then years! We were so excited, we even took a few days off of work to celebrate. It was possibly my greatest achievement ever.

For the next few days, I'd been dreaming more than usual. I'd been dreaming that Penelope and I went back to the days of Cavemen, and studied their behaviors thoroughly, I dreamt that we even went back and collected the body of a tyrannosaurus rex that I'd killed, and we were noted heroes for it. Maybe I was dreaming a tad bit too big, but I still can dream can't I?

Oh the adventures we will have in the past, and possibly (If we're in the mood) the future! I couldn't wait to get to sleep recently, just to enjoy the movie like adventures I will dream about.

Okay, Sonic and the others will appear, as well as Murray, so don't worry. I still have some ground to cover before all of that though, okay? Alright, Rate and Review please! -Zach
