Wilbur focused on the ball hurling towards him, he rose his hand high up in the air.
"I got the ball, I got the ball!" He exclaimed. The ball then hit him square on the nose, he fell towards the ground. "First I fell out of the treehouse and now this…this isn't my day."
"Sorry, Will, you ok?" Taylor asked him, he glared at her.
"What do you think?" He moaned as he sat up and picked up the chargeball.
"What a baby." Danny rolled his eyes, Wilbur apparently heard that and looked at him with an angry expression.
"That's it, it's coming for you!" He exclaimed, throwing the chargeball directly at Danny. It was about to hit Danny, but he dodged it and the chargeball flew right into the horizon.
"Nice going, Danny." Wilbur scolded.
"You're telling me off? You're the one who threw it, Mr. I-Can't-Aim!" Danny exclaimed.
"That's not the point!" Wilbur exclaimed. "I aim perfectly…"
"Well guys, we aren't just going to sit here. Let's go get that chargeball." Taylor told them.
"But we have no idea where it is." Danny said.
"By the looks of it, I'd say it landed in the garage." Austin said.
"Then let's start there." Wilbur said, rushing towards the direction of the garage. It was a few minutes until they got to the garage.
"Alright guys, just get in, find the chargeball and get out." Wilbur told his friends. "If my parents or Carl finds us sneaking in, I'm dead."
"Uh – Wilbur…" Taylor muttered, a shocked look on her face.
"I mean really, ever since that bowler-hat-guy incident, they wouldn't get off my back." Wilbur said.
"That must be annoying." A voice came from behind him.
"You bet! I mean…wait, who said…" Wilbur turned around to see, "CARL! Hey, buddy, what's up?"
"Wilbur, what are you doing?" Carl rose a mechanical eyebrow.
"We were just going into the garage to look for my chargeball." Wilbur told him.
"Likely story." Carl rolled his eyes.
"It's true! It's true! It's true! It's true!" Austin whined.
"Alright, kids. You go in and out for the chargeball, that's IT!" Carl warned them, they nodded dully.
Wilbur opened the door and his friends all rushed in at once.
"Woah! Look at that shiny time machine!" Austin exclaimed.
"That car is HUGE!" Taylor gasped.
"That's an awesome chainsaw!" Danny shouted.
"So much for in and out." Wilbur rolled his eyes as he began looking for the chargeball, Carl followed behind him.
"You guys have to be careful, if Cornelius found out that I let you in the garage, I'll be deactivated for sure!" Carl said worriedly, suddenly a screwdriver hit him on the head. He turned around to see Austin, smiling innocently at Carl.
"It slipped." He squeaked.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah…" Carl muttered groggily.
"Don't worry, Carl. Dad won't be that hard on you, I'm the one he's going to kill." Wilbur said, then his eyes widened after he processed the words that came out of his mouth. "Wait a minute…"
"I found it, but it's under this hovercar…I can't get it!" Taylor exclaimed, sticking her hand under the hovercar and searched around for the ball.
"Here, let me help!" Austin eagerly made his way over to the hovercar and stuck his hand under it, not noticing the shadowy figure silently slipping through the doorway.
"Austin, you're not even big enough. Watch me do it." Danny said, rushing towards the hovercar and sticking under it as well. The shadowy figure sneaked right behind Danny's back and made its way across the garage, unnoticed.
"You guys aren't doing it right, watch me." Wilbur said, running up to his friends, pushing them aside and sticking his hand under the hovercar. Carl sighed as he watched the four helpless kids squirming for the chargeball. Actually, he held back a chuckle…
They looked incredibly stupid.
"I would just stand here and enjoy this, but then Wilbur's parents would catch us in here." Carl said, heading over to them. "Let me, I have extendable arms."
The shadowy figure seized its chance once everybody in the garage was distracted. It slipped right past the hovercar and swept across the garage towards the red time machine. It snuck into the hatch and closed the door, the engine whirred and everybody spun around to see the time machine taking to the air.
"Oh no…" Carl whispered nervously.
As the five watched, the time machine reached the top of the ceiling and disappeared in a bubble of light.
"No! The time machine's gone!" Wilbur exclaimed.
"Now I'll be deactivated for sure!" Carl shouted.
"You being deactivated is nothing compared to what dad'll do to ME!" Wilbur told him. "He'll ban me from playing my X-BOX100000000000000! NOOOO!"
His friends rolled his eyes.
"Wilbur, you know you have another time machine you can use, right?" Danny asked him.
"NO! The other time machine is still under construction from that Bowler-hat-guy thing." Wilbur told him.
"Well then…we can use Austin's!" Taylor suggested, Austin's eyes widened at once.
"WHAT?! TAYLOR YOU ARE CRAZY! THERE IS NO WAY WE'RE ALL GOING TO GO IN THAT DEATH-TRAP!" Austin exclaimed at the top of his voice. "THE TIME MACHINE IS GONE AND WE SHOULD ALL DEAL WITH IT!"
"There's chocolate in it for you." Taylor said.
"Ok, let's do it!" Austin cheered. "One problem, it's in Cornelius's lab."
"How did it get in dad's lab?" Wilbur asked.
"Well…" Austin muttered as he had a flashback…
This morning…
"There, done…" Austin said, wiping sweat off his forehead.
"Austin, what are you doing in the backyard…and what is that?" Cornelius asked the boy.
"This…um…it's a science project! You know…for school?" Austin said.
"Hm…" Cornelius rose an eyebrow.
"I just want to grow up to be a great inventor like you, Mr. Robinson!" Austin said.
"Oh, there's no harm in that then…have fun." Cornelius said, turning away.
"Now I'll just shove Wilbur in it, push it off the roof and…" Austin muttered.
"Woah, wait! What are you going to do with my son?" Cornelius asked, dragging the time machine away. "I'm keeping this before you do something fatal…"
"Ah great…" Austin grumbled. "Oh well, back to irritating Danny…"
The gang looked at Austin with disturbed faces.
"Well, the point is, we can't get it now. Cornelius is going to check in every 2 minutes." Austin sighed.
"Unless we get a distraction and sneak in." Danny said.
"But who would be perfect for a distraction?" Taylor asked.
"Someone that dad trusts…" Wilbur murmured. Then they all looked at Carl.
"Um…why is everybody staring at me?" Carl asked. "Oh no…no, no, no, no, NO!"
