Shelby, Cyd, Riley, Maya, Lucas, and Farkle were all on a bus, on the way to Shelby and Cyd's house. Shelby and Cyd were really nervous, but trying not to show it to the others. They didn't want to lie to their new friends, but they weren't sure how telling them the truth would go. If they told the others that they could time-travel, how would Riley and her friends react? Their only hope was that they wouldn't overreact and/or tell anyone, especially the latter, because the girls did NOT want the future lab to become a reality. Soon, the bus pulled up in front of Shelby and Cyd's house.
"Come on, it's our stop." Shelby informed as they all stood up and stepped off the bus. They walked up the walkway, and Cyd opened the door.
"Mom, we're home!" Shelby called out as soon as they were all in the house and the door was shut behind them. They walked into the kitchen.
"Hi mom." Shelby greeted.
"Hi Mrs. Marcus." Cyd added.
"Hi girls. Cyd you know you can call me Astrid." Shelby's mom reminded. Then she noticed Riley, Maya, Lucas, and Farkle.
"Who is this?" She wondered.
"Oh right. Mom, this is Riley, Maya, Lucas, and Farkle. Me and Cyd met Riley and Lucas on Halloween, and again, along with Maya and Farkle, at the mall today." Shelby informed.
"Hi, I'm Astrid Marcus, Shelby's mom." Astrid greeted them.
"Hi," they greeted back.
"Is Dad still at work?" Shelby asked.
"Yes he is." Astrid informed.
"Oh okay." Shelby responded.
"My dad is Norm Marcus." Shelby told her new friends. Then the group of teenagers headed upstairs to Shelby and Cyd's bedroom, which has a nice bay window in it. When they reached the second floor of the house, two red-headed identical twin 12 year-old boys walked out of what Riley and her New York friends assumed was their bedroom, holding a cart with a cake on it.
"Those are my brothers Brett and Chet," Shelby explained. Riley and her friends nodded.
"Who's this?" Chet asked.
"New friends Shelby?" Brett added.
"Yes, this is Riley, Lucas, Maya, and Farkle." Shelby introduced them to the New Yorkers.
"Hi, I'm Brett,"
"And I'm Chet," The twins introduced themselves.
"Hi, I'm Riley, and this is Lucas, Maya, and Farkle." Riley introduced herself and her New York friends. Brett and Chet nodded.
"Bye now." Brett said as he and Chet grabbed the cart and walked it towards the stairs. The others just stood there.
"Why are we just standing here?" Maya wondered. Shelby and Cyd smirked.
"Wait for it." Shelby predicted. The boys were now dragging the cake down the stairs. Cyd smirked, as she knew what was about to happen. Riley and her friends were confused though, but then they got what they were all waiting for.
"Don't let go of the cart, Brett!" Chet reminded.
"GIVE ME A HIGH FIVE, CHET!" Brett called. The next thing you know, the cart with the cake on it was rolling down the stairs, and when it got to the bottom, it tipped over and the cake was smashed all over the floor. Everyone laughed.
"Every time!" Cyd informed. After everyone calmed down, they continued on up to Shelby and Cyd's room. When they entered the room, the first thing the crowd from New York noticed was the bed-like bay window that was in the room, with a little dog sitting in the middle of it.
"Hey cool you have a bay window. And a dog! What's his name?" Riley wanted to know.
"Yeah." Shelby responded.
"His name is Diesel, he's my dog." Cyd informed.
"Cool. Riley has one in her room in New York. Oh, the window, not the dog. We like to sit there and talk. We talk out our problems, come up with plans to help people, and we also like to help solve mysteries, while sitting in the bay window. And we find it really helps." Maya explained. Shelby and Cyd looked at her like she was crazy, but then they shrugged because hey, that couldn't sound any more crazy than than what Shelby and Cyd were about to tell them.
"So, now that we're here, I believe you were going to tell us how and why you girls disappeared on us at the haunted house back at the New York City Spooktacular. Although I still don't understand why you couldn't tell us back at the mall." Riley pointed out.
"Well, we could've, but we feel more comfortable and safe explaining it here, because it's more private." Cyd informed.
"Okay, so why'd you disappear?" Lucas wondered. Shelby and Cyd looked at each other, a little nervous, and they each took a deep breath. Here goes nothing.
"It's a long story," Shelby replied.
"We got time." Riley informed.
"Okay, well, first of all, for mine and Shelby's safety, you CANNOT mention a word about this to anyone else." Cyd warned.
"Why?" Farkle asked.
"We'll tell you why. How about we start from the beginning? Okay, so back in June, Cyd's parents went to Peru for work," Shelby started.
"They're archeologists. I could've went too, but that would've meant living in Peru for 3 years, and I didn't want to be away from my best friend that long, so my parents and Shelby's parents agreed to let me live here with Shelby for the rest of high school." Cyd explained.
"Anyway, June 26th, 2015, that was the first day after Cyd and Diesel came to live here. We thought it would just be a normal day just like any other, but we were wrong, very wrong. Here's what happened. We had just finished getting ready for school, and were leaving, but first we had to stop by our friend Barry's lab next door, because he was helping me with my plan to ask my crush at the time, not anymore, Cameron to the dance. The plan was at 8:45 in the morning, the school's PA system was supposed play his favorite music, then the vents were supposed to release his favorite smell, and finally the school's confetti cannons were supposed to go off as the digital projector displayed the question "Will you go to the dance with me?" on the wall. All I had to do was stand in front of Cameron's locker when it happened." Shelby started to explain.
"That's it? That's all you had to do?" Maya questioned.
"Yeah, Barry said that scientists like to limit the number of unstable variables, which is what they call people." Cyd remembered.
"Okay then?" Maya replied, still a little confused.
"So what happened?" Lucas wondered.
"So, after Barry finished explaining how the plan would go, our other friend Naldo, who lives across the street, was trying to use the laser that Barry invented that was only supposed to help cure baldness, somehow, on his chest because he wanted chest hair so he could shave it, which makes absolutely no sense to me, but then again, sometimes neither does Naldo." Cyd smiled to herself, but Shelby noticed, and smiled because she knew why Cyd was smiling, but didn't say anything, and just let Cyd talk.
"Barry said the laser wasn't supposed to make his chest emit smoke, Naldo said it looked cool, and then he smelled "barbecue," which was actually him, and took off, and Barry went to find him. I was hungry, so I went to see if Barry had anything to eat in his lab. Shelby went on about hoping the plan would work, while I found what looked like a regular food cooler, but when I opened it, some sort of weird looking chemical we never heard of before, rose up out of the cooler on a platform. I backed away from it, and not watching where I was going, I accidentally activated the laser. Me and Shelbs were a little scared of what it might do, so we hugged, and after a few seconds the laser zapped the weird chemical, then reflected off a couple other things, right before blasting us." Cyd explained some more. Riley, Lucas, Maya, and Farkle gasped.
"How'd it feel? Did it hurt?!" Riley asked, worried.
"No, it didn't hurt, it just felt weird." Shelby assured. The teenagers from New York sighed with relief.
"And at least it didn't give us any extra unwanted hair." Cyd pointed out.
"Lol, yeah." Shelby agreed. They all laughed.
"So, did the laser do anything to you?" Riley wondered.
"Actually yes, yes it did." Cyd replied.
"What did it do?" Lucas asked.
"I-it, oh here's the part you absolutely CANNOT tell anyone else about. It gave us a power." Shelby nervously replied.
"What kind of power? Maya curiously asked. Shelby looked at Cyd. Both were very nervous. Well, here it goes.
"The laser gave me and Shelby the power to… to time travel." Cyd revealed their secret to the New York crew, their new friends.
"The power to time travel?!" Riley, Maya, Lucas, and Farkle exclaimed.
"Shhhhhh! Not so loud! My parents and brothers don't know about this. We have our reasons not to tell them. Safety reasons. The only ones who know are of course me and Cyd, you guys, Barry, and Naldo. And we'd like to keep it that way!" Shelby warned.
"Don't worry, your secret's safe with us." Riley assured, as Maya, Lucas, Farkle nodded in agreement, reassuring Shelby and Cyd that this would stay between them.
"Thanks guys! What a relief! You have no idea hard it is keeping this a secret. But if we don't, we could be taken away a experimented on at what we call the "Future Lab" because we're time travellers. Trust me, we know it'll happen eventually, which is why you have to be very well trusted by us for us to tell you about this. Not that we don't trust my parents or brothers, but my dad works for GDD, which we figured out it where the future lab is!" Shelby explained.
"GloboDigiDyne? The major company that manufactures all sorts of new technology? That GDD?" Farkle wanted to be sure.
"Yes, that GDD!" Cyd confirmed.
"That makes sense. Hey, just out of curiosity, how does your power work?" Maya wondered.
"Well, we don't exactly know. We only know how we got the power to time travel, and how to use it." Shelby explained.
"How do you use it?" Lucas asked.
"Well, we just think of a time while we're hugging or touching or something, and then we go to the time we're thinking about." Shelby replied.
"Cool! But this still doesn't explained you literally just disappeared on us at the Spooktacular." Riley reminded.
"Right, well that's part two of the story. Here's what happened." Cyd and Shelby went on to explain the rest of the story of how they left the haunted house at the New York Central Park Spooktacular.
