CHAPTER 2: Promises and Old Flames

Phil stepped closer to Keely. Her eyes were welling up.

"I thought…" she said, chocking up a bit.

Phil stopped right where he was. "I can't leave you Keely. You are the most wonderful person I have ever known. I wouldn't be able to go through my life without you…I love you."

Barb and Lloyd were pulling Curtis by his ear.

"Curtis, no want to leave!" he moaned, whimpering. Lloyd tugged harder.

"Come on pal, you're going to come back with us," he urged, dragging him outside.

Curtis stopped and stared at the Time Machine. "Doesn't Lloyd need to fix Time Machine first?" asked Curtis with a puzzled look on his face.

Barb let out a small gasp. "Honey," she said, secretly trying to hide her joy, "turn around.

Lloyd spun his head around to see the demolished machine. "PIM!!!" he shouted.

Pim causally walked out of the Time Machine reading a magazine labeled "Dictator by 15".

"This must be important to interrupt my studies," she said mildly, turning a page.

"Pim! How could you!" shouted Lloyd in frustration. Pim closed the magazine and tossed her blond hair over her shoulder.

"It's funny how you always blame the little girl," she said giving a devilish grin.

Barb turned to Lloyd. "Hun, I don't think it was her," she said sweetly. Lloyd turned away from Pim.

"But the who else…oh."

Barb pointed over to Keely's house. "We can't leave Lloyd, not when there's something as powerful as that." She smiled.

Pim pulled out her shrunken suitcases from her pocket. "I'll go unpack," she said walking back into the house she knew all too well.

Keely sat up on her bed. She was now crying. "Phil," she said staring into his brown eyes. She got up and ran into him to give him a hug.

"I love you too salt," she whispered into his chest. Phil kissed her forehead.

"I'm never leaving again," he promised. Keely looked up at him.

"You better not," she warned before kissing him.

1 week later

"Hey Phil," said Keely sitting down next to him at lunch. Phil smiled as she scooted over closer to him.

"Hey Keels," he said, leaning into kiss her.

"Phil and Keely sitting in a tree K-I-S"

"Shut up Owen," said Phil, shoving a peanut butter and jelly sandwich into his friend Owens's mouth. Owen rolled his eyes and sat next to Via who was sitting on the other side of the table.

"Hey Vialicoious how are you…WHOAH!" Owens eyes widened as he looked beyond Keely.

"Who's that?" he asked pointing to someone only a few yards behind Phil and Keely. They both looked over.

There was a girl neither Keely, Owen nor Via had ever seen before. She had long brown hair and bright green eyes. She was laughing at some joke a girl named Carol had told her. She was stunning.

"Hmm she must be new," said Keely, uninterested as she took a bit out of her bagel.

Phil however kept staring at her. He knew her. By GOD he knew her. She didn't look all that different from the last time he had seen her.

Her name was Chole. Even though he hadn't seen her for 3 years he still knew her. And by the strange look she was giving him he knew she still remembered him.

Ok so if you didnt get it, Chole is Phils old GF from the future. Wow O
