Saturday, June 18th 2016, Barry's Lab
Barry, Naldo, Marci, Shelby, and Cyd were sitting in the booth of the RV, eating a pizza together. They were on the first day of summer vacation.
"Man, I can't believe freshman year is over already." Marci said. "I remember the beginning of the year, when I was so silly, I wanted to lick Cyd's arm for some reason."
"Yeah, I remember that!" Cyd said. "That was the day we got time travel powers!"
"Wow, I remember too, remember when I tried to ask Cameron out?" Shelby asked.
"Oh yeah, but instead Marci went to the dance with him." Cyd said. "How did that go?"
"Not well, my papa didn't want me dating him so he sent me to the dance with a boy named Gerald. He's seven. And a salmon." Marci replied. "Maybe it's a good thing though, then I wouldn't have began dating Barry."
"Aw, thanks," Barry said. "I can't believe how much we all changed since last year. I wonder what I'll be like next year,"
"I hope I'll get a mustache!" Naldo said. "Then I can join the mustache club!"
Suddenly, Cyd and Shelby tried to grab a slice of pizza, and their hands touched. "Oh, sorry, Cyd you can have that,"
"Oh my gosh, our hands touched." Shelby thought. Yep, even almost seven years after third grade, Shelby still had her undeniable crush on Cyd. "Who wouldn't love Cyd? She's so adorable. Especially when she gets mad. She's so good at it!" Shelby began to think of when she had punched that Rob guy. That was funny.
Suddenly, Shelby got a text. She read it.
"Oh, it's from my mom, she says that my new desk has arrived! Awesome! I have new desk to put my arts and crafts stuff in!" Shelby squealed. "Let's go Cyd."
"Bye guys!" Cyd said, then left to the house.
"By the way guys, why do you live in Shelby's backyard?" Marci asked.
Meanwhile, in Shelby's room, the girls were assembling the desk.
"All done!" Cyd said. "Nice desk. Wanna move your stuff into it?"
"Sure." Shelby walked to the pile of books. The first one Shelby picked up was the "Cyd and Shelby: Teenage Detectives" novel she wrote. Cyd picked up their old "Study Buddy Binder." Then Cyd saw a diary.
"Whoa, this is your ninth grade diary? Gotta read it!" Cyd said.
"No no no!" Shelby took the diary. "This diary is personal." It contained everything Shelby wrote about her crush on Cyd...
"I've read your eighth and seventh grade ones, they weren't that interesting." Cyd said. "C'mon Shelby, you tell me everything anyway."
"Cyd, can you just give me some space. I'm putting this in my safe." Shelby entered a code into her safe and put her diary inside. "I haven't told you everything"
"Fine Shelby, if that's how you wanna play it…" Cyd said, then she walked downstairs back to RV.
"Hey guys, you'll never believe this. I think Shelby is hiding something from me." Cyd said.
"Everyone has secrets Cyd." Naldo said. "Like how Barry still sleeps with his choo-choo train blanket"
"Hey Ronaldo!" Barry said. "I told you not to tell anyone!"
"Why?" Naldo asked.
"Because that's how secrets work!"
"Guys I'm serious. Shelby tells me everything." Cyd said. "But lately she's been acting strange. She acts uncomfortable to touch me, even if we are sitting next to each other or hugging she always pulls away quickly and acts awkward."
"I'm not sure…" Barry said. "Maybe I'll solve your problem with science! I'll do a thorough investigation of Shelby's manners and behaviorisms and see what conclusions I can create."
"I have a better idea… And it involves time travel…" Cyd said.
Hours later, Cyd and Shelby were in their beds, but only Shelby was asleep. Cyd walked over to Shelby and made sure she was asleep. She was going to jump jam Shelby.
"It's not like Shelby is awake or anything…" Cyd said sarcastically.
Shelby turned in her sleep. "What?"
"Shelby, I'm trying to sleep!"
"Oh sorry Cyd." Shelby sleep-talked.
Then Cyd grabbed Shelby and traveled to after they had assembled the desk. Shelby's body was in a standing position but she fell over, and Cyd caught her. Cyd dragged Shelby's sleeping body to her bed and went over to the diary.
"Alright, time to see what secret she's hiding…"
