Chapter 3 Good Future Evil Future
After leaving the previous timeline, the Time Booth appears in a familiar location that Jimmy and Timmy recognize when they look out the windows. It was Conch Street, Bikini Bottom. Jimmy reached into his pocket for some of his air gum. "I'm gonna go out there and see if I can fix the controls to take us home."
But Timmy grabs his arm. "You can't go out there. What if we run into something dangerous?"
Suddenly, they hear a familiar laugh and see SpongeBob dressed up as Mermaid Man. With him was Patrick, who was dressed like Barnacle Boy.
They were jumping around SpongeBob's lawn and having fun as they tried to sneak up on Gary who was wearing a Jumbo Shrimp mask on his shell.
Jimmy dully frowned and told Timmy, "I don't think this qualifies as dangerous. SpongeBob told me he played this game with Patrick last month."
Before Jimmy could pop the gum in his mouth, Timmy exclaimed, "Wait! If this is a month in the past, we might be getting closer to the present."
"But Timmy, the booth's directions are completely randomized. We might go back 80 years into past next."
"Well, in that case," Timmy said with an amused smile, "Swim out there and get us home."
Jimmy held the doorknob and returned the same smile as he warned Timmy, "You might wanna hold your breath."
Knowing what this would mean, Timmy nervously pinched his nose and puffed out his cheeks. But before anyone could go out, the booth turned on and disappeared.
As they traveled through time, Jimmy groaned in dismay, "Gas planet. We waited too long and who knows where we might end up."
"Relax, Neutron." Timmy assured, "We might end up somewhere that'll give you plenty of time to fix it."
The booth transported them to a dark place. They open the door a crack and noticed they were in the woods and it was sometime during the night. Jimmy narrowed his eyes and sarcastically stated, "Sure, Timmy, I'll have plenty of time to fix the Time Booth in a forest with a severe lack of lighting."
"Okay, I get it." An unamused Timmy responded. He opened the door all the way and looked around. "Hey, you think this is the Pupununu? Maybe even the present day Pupununu?"
"It's hard to say. I'd have to have more evidence to tell."
Suddenly, they hear a loud howl pierce the night sky, making their hearts race. They then hear a rustling in the bushes straight ahead of them and they scream when they see a strange animal jump out at them.
"AAAAHHH!" Jimmy and Timmy hold each other as the creature growled at them, but they freeze when they notice the creature's true identity. "Tak?" they both ask in surprise.
The creature was indeed their friend, Tak, on all fours with his arms, legs, face, and torso covered in brown fur, claws on his hands and feet, fangs in his mouth, and had a bushy tail.
Tak continued to growl at them until Timmy questioned, "Tak…you're a howler again?"
Howler Tak spoke in his normal voice, "Jimmy, Timmy, how did you get here so fast? Howler Juju is calling for me; you had to stay in the hut."
Jimmy whispered to Timmy, "Tak isn't a howler again, Timmy. This is when he was a howler."
"But that was a long time ago." Timmy complained since even though he couldn't remember the exact date, they hadn't had to deal with howlers in a long time.
However, Howler Tak suddenly lost control of himself and growled viciously at the two boys. "You smell like Jimmy and Timmy, but I know you can't be them!" he pounced toward the two and they both scream as they quickly rush into the booth and shut the door.
They cower inside as Howler Tak claws and bites at the glass, trying to break in and eat them. Jimmy and Timmy sit in a fetal position, huddled together as their once best friend tried to attack them. Even though they feared he would get inside, the booth turns on and vanishes into thin air, dropping Howler Tak on the ground as he sniffed the dirt, trying to figure out where Jimmy and Timmy had gone.
Once they noticed that they were once again traveling through time, Jimmy and Timmy relaxed and the latter sighs in relief, "Phew, I hope we don't come across something like that again."
Upon reaching another time period, Jimmy peers through the window and glances around to see they were in Bikini Bottom again, only this time they were in the middle of the city and it looked run down for some reason.
"Interesting…" Jimmy said as he continued looking around. "We're back in Bikini Bottom. But…it looks drastically different."
Timmy looked out the window as well so he could see. "What are you talking about? How can it end up like this?"
Suddenly, they hear screaming and see a bunch of Bikini Bottom citizens running for their lives from a bunch of robots. They were confused by when and how this was happening in Bikini Bottom, but they glance up to see a jet sled being ridden by a square creature in a black outfit with a Darth Vader mask and helmet.
"DarkEvil LaserPants?!" Jimmy exclaimed, recognizing them villain as SpongeBob's alternate future self.
"It can't be!" Timmy also exclaimed in shock.
They witness DarkEvil signal more robots to siege Bikini Bottom while Plankton stands atop of his apprentice's head and laughs victoriously. Timmy is still in shock as he asks, "How could this have happened?"
A calmer Jimmy speculates, "I think we may have stumbled into another alternate timeline; one where SpongeBob had become DarkEvil LaserPants."
Staring at the evil sponge and remembering how terrifying he could be, Timmy screamed and started banging on the inside of the booth. "AAAGGHHH! Get us out of here! Get us out of here!"
By function or coincidence, the booth turns on and disappears from the conquered Bikini Bottom.
Jimmy and Timmy peer out of the window of the Time Booth, and Timmy instantly recognized it as his own front yard. "Hey," Timmy said with a smile. "I'm home…and it looks the same."
Timmy was about to leave, but Jimmy grabbed his shoulder to stop him from going outside. "Wait, Timmy," Jimmy warned, "We don't know if your house out there is really your house or a fabrication of another alternate timeline."
"Oh, come on, Neutron." Timmy scoffed. "Nothing here can be as bad as the last timeline we were in."
But suddenly, they see another Timmy Turner screaming in panic as he runs past his house. The two time traveling boys see that chasing the other Timmy was a herd of angry vicious dogs. They continue to watch until they see another dog following from far behind, only this dog was floating due to having fairy wings, had yellow and orange fur, and a star at the tip of his tail.
"Sorry Timmy!" the dog called out, "I had no idea that other dogs were territorial with fire hydrants! Am I still your pet?"
After witnessing this alternate timeline, Timmy started to scream in panic as he banged on the walls of the Time Booth like before. "AAAAGGHHH! Take us back! Take us back!"
Just like before, the Time Booth disappeared from the alternate Dimmsdale.
As they traveled through the time stream, Jimmy grabbed Timmy's shoulders and shoved him against the wall. He stared Timmy intently in the eyes. "Turner, we're not gonna get home with you reacting hysterically to every alternate timeline we come across!"
Timmy shoved Jimmy off of him and reacted with anger, "I don't see you trying to get us back, genius!"
The booth reappears in another unknown location and they both step out of it as they continue arguing. "How do you expect me to work with all this universe hopping that's occurring? Should I risk getting stranded here?"
They finally acknowledge their surroundings and see that they are inside a large metal room. "Well, this looks like a good place to work." Timmy stated sarcastically.
Ignoring his comment, Jimmy looks around and sees barrels filled with various metal objects and a conveyor belt carrying plastic toy parts. "We appear to be in a factory; a toy factory."
Realizing what Jimmy was implying, Timmy pieces what time period they were in. "Are you saying that this is the time we fought the toybots?"
His question was answered when a large mechanical door opens and they see Tak run in. The shaman sees them and he rushes over to them with a smile. "Jimmy! Timmy! Boy am I glad to see you."
Jimmy and Timmy glance at each other silently and stammered, "Uhhh…" since neither knew what to say to their friend without possibly messing up the timeline.
"Have you seen SpongeBob and Patrick?" Tak asked in concern. "I heard they were here and I thought with their help, we can stop Professor Calamitous and whatever he's planning."
Timmy quickly answered, "Of course we've seen them. They're through that door over there and down the hall."
"Great." Tak said with a grin and rushed off, but turned back. "Wait, aren't you coming?" he asked in concern.
They fell silent again until Timmy answered, "Yeah, we'll meet you there. We just wanna make sure…other Nicktoons don't need our help."
"Still great." Tak replied with another grin. "I'll see you both soon."
Once he left through the large door, Jimmy and Timmy both sigh in relief before the booth short-circuits again, signaling their time to go. As they rush into the booth, Jimmy smiles and compliments, "I gotta admit, Turner, what you did was pretty clever."
"I know." Timmy responded with a smug grin before the booth disappears somewhere else.
They reappear in what looked like Dimmsdale, only it was now filled with bright colors and cutesy items for sale. To their surprise, they see a bunch of gigglepies hopping around and looking cute while they giggle.
Jimmy stares at Timmy and suspiciously asked, "When did this happen?"
With an annoyed frown, Timmy answers, "I don't wanna talk about it."
Soon, the Time Booth enters another time period and the two boys exit to see they are now in a ruined town that looked somewhat familiar to them. They walk ahead as they glance around wondering where exactly they were.
"Where are we?" Timmy asked.
Jimmy answered, "If I'm correct- and I most likely am- we are in Amity Park."
"But why is it like this? What could've happened?"
Suddenly, a tall figure phases from below the ground in front of them and they gasp in horror to see that it was none other than Dark Dan Phantom.
He spoke to them in a cold voice, "I think the better question would be: why are you boys still here?"
"AAAH! DANNY PHANTOM!" Timmy screamed as he fell backwards, recognizing all too well that the ghost was their former good friend and teammate from an alternate future.
"So you know me." Dark Dan stated, raising an eyebrow since he did not know who either of them were. "Or you know who I used to be."
"No, we don't." Jimmy quickly explained as he pulled Timmy to his feet, and continued to lie to keep themselves safe from the murderous ghost, "We are completely unaware of the circumstances pertaining to your dominance. We're just gonna depart to our…"
However, Dark Dan didn't buy their act one bit and fired an ectoplasm string at Jimmy and pulled the genius into his fist as he strangled him. "JIMMY!" Timmy cried out.
Dark Dan stared at Timmy and demanded, "Tell me where you two came from, and you better do it fast." He tightened his grip around Jimmy's neck as the boy struggled for breath.
Fearing for Jimmy's life and without his fairies for protection, Timmy confessed, "We're not from here! Jimmy and I are from another timeline! We came here in a time machine that's been taking us to different time periods!"
"Show me." Dark Dan demanded as he kept his tight grip around Jimmy's throat.
With no other choice, Timmy led the malicious ghost to where they left the Time Booth and they all saw it was still there, having not left from another malfunction. Seeing the machine and its controls, Dark Dan smirked in satisfaction. "Excellent." He said as he floated over to the booth. "With this, I can control every moment in time." He turned to Timmy, "How does it work?"
Timmy stayed silent and looked at the controls. But Dark Dan quickly lost his patience and repeated, "I said to tell me how it works!" he held Jimmy up by his neck as he slowly tightened his grip. "That is if you value your friend's life."
Jimmy gasps as he struggles for air, but Timmy remained silent with fear until he finally responded, "I…I don't know." he then pointed at Jimmy, "He's the one who built it. Only he knows how it works."
Dark Dan stares at the boy genius at his mercy and tosses him on the ground next to Timmy as the genius sits up and coughs for air. "Now," Dark Dan began saying, "You will operate this device for me."
As Jimmy stands up, he glares at Timmy, "Turner, do you realize what you've just done?" he asked in a raspy voice.
Timmy just smiles and answers, "Of course I do."
Taking the hint, Jimmy returns the same smile and holds his watch out toward the evil ghost and pushes a button that releases white smoke, temporarily blinding him. Timmy then pounds his fist on the control panel, causing it to short-circuit and give the two enough time to run into the Time Booth as it glows.
Dark Dan brushes his way past the smoke just in time to see the Time Booth disappear with the two boys.
As the Time Booth travels through the time stream, Jimmy and Timmy laugh as they held each other's shoulders. "Holy Heisenberg, Turner." Jimmy said, very impressed. "I had almost believed that you were gonna give in to that phantom's demands."
Timmy chuckled and responded, "Are you kidding? I was in the zone the whole time." He then turned around to keep Jimmy from seeing his shudder and exhaling.
Afterwards, the Time Booth reached its destination and the two boys exit to see they were in what looked like a darkly lit alley surrounded by tall buildings. Jimmy looked around and said, "Strange, I can't recognize anything here."
Timmy ran out to the entrance of the alley and gasps in awe to see they were in a dark city with many tall buildings containing neon signs with video screens and the occasional hover car passing by on the streets.
"Oh man," Timmy said in surprise. "It's like those dystopian futures I've seen in every sci-fi movie."
As Jimmy observes the surroundings as well, he responds, "It's real, Turner. But what location is this future in?"
"Who cares? It's probably a worse future than the last ones we've visited." On cue, two black demonic-looking spirits that strangely resemble the ecto-pusses spring up from the ground and stare menacingly at Jimmy and Timmy. "Yup…" Timmy cried as he held his arms around Jimmy, "…definitely worse."
The boys hold each other in fear as the ghosts fly toward them, but they were suddenly obliterated by two blasts. Jimmy and Timmy open their eyes to see a teenage boy with spiky black hair, wearing a purple visor over his eyes, black fingerless gloves, a gray shirt, a red life preserver vest, blue jeans, and sneakers. He puts the ray gun he used back in his belt that contained many other gadgets.
He approaches the boys and spoke in a familiar voice, "You kids alright?"
Jimmy stares at him and his eyes widen in realization, "Danny? Is that you?"
The boy removes his visor, revealing his blue eyes and the fact that he did indeed look like their friend, Danny Fenton. "Wait, how do you know my name?" he asked.
Timmy, however, smiled in joy and hugged the teenager. "I can't believe it's you, Danny! You don't know what we've been through!" he let go and questioned, "But why are you using all those ghost weapons instead of using your powers?"
"Ghost powers?" the teenager questioned, "I don't have ghost powers. I never did."
"You are Danny Fenton, right?" Jimmy asked.
"Of course I am." The teenager responded with a smile. "But you must be talking about my grandpa, Danny Phantom."
"GRANDPA?!" Jimmy and Timmy both exclaimed in shock.
Danny Jr. chuckles as he adds, "I may not have powers like him, but I can bust the ghost of Amity Park just fine on my own." He takes a small round device out of his belt and pushes the middle button that turned it into a shuriken. "With all the ghosts getting turned into demons in the recent years, someone has to do it."
Jimmy and Timmy smile in excitement, having so many questions to ask the future descendent of their friend. But the time booth suddenly activates again, signaling that they have to go.
"Aww, man." Timmy groaned, slumping in disappointment.
"Sorry, Danny," Jimmy sheepishly apologized, "But we have to go. Bye!"
The boys both wave goodbye as they rush into the Time Booth and it disappears with them inside. Danny Jr. stares in confusion, wondering who exactly the two boys were until he just shrugs it off and puts on his visor as he walks out of the alley and climbs aboard a black hover cycle. He starts the motor and drives off to find more ghosts to defeat in the name of his grandfather.
Soon the Time Booth came to a completely different point in time and they exit the booth and Timmy recognizes the area as the Dimmsdale Park. "Whoa, we're in Dimmsdale!" Timmy exclaimed, "And it looks like the current day Dimmsdale."
"We can't be too sure, Timmy." Jimmy warns, "It could be an alternate timeline."
Timmy sighs in exhaustion and bends forward. "Who cares? I'm so tired; I don't know how much time traveling I can take."
But then, they look ahead to see another Timmy Turner sitting on a bench with none other than Trixie Tang. They were sitting close to each other as they held hands and smiled.
Timmy reacted in stun and amazement, "Whoa, you mean I actually get Trixie to like me? This has to be the future."
"Like I previously stated, it could be an alternate future." Jimmy warned a second time.
"I also previously stated, "Who cares?" It's still the future and I get Trixie Tang to like me. I gotta find out how."
Jimmy turns his head and sees the Time Booth starting up again. "Too bad we won't be able to." He grabs Timmy by the back of his shirt and drags him to the booth, all while Timmy struggled to get away.
"No, no!" Timmy shouted as he was pulled into the booth. "Go on without me! This is my only chance to find out how! I need to know!"
One of the time periods is a reference to my Nicktoons fic "Howler of the Night", which can be read on deviantart, and the other time period is from my fic "Future Shock", which can be read here on .
