Hey, I know it's been a while, but I've been incredibly busy. Today's episode is from season two, "A Visit to a Hostile Planet". Enjoy!
Dr. Smith's P.O.V
It started well enough, but we began to go faster. It was quite dangerous.
"There may be noxious fumes; I must get my gas mask." I stated and went to get it. We began to go so fast that we were being pressed to the wall by the force of the movement.
"We must be getting close to the speed of light!" William exclaimed. I had to admit I agreed. The mechanical ninny said we were passed the speed of light. Suddenly, we all fell.
I woke up first. All the others were passed out on the floor. I shook William, but he did not wake. I knew something was wrong. I found the Robot, who was not destroyed.
"What has happened to us? Where are we?" I asked desperately. Robot explained that the Jupiter 2 was in hyper drive.
"We are not where we were." said the Bubble-Headed Booby, irritating me greatly. As the others began to awaken, Robot told us we were in the same solar system as Earth!
"Earth! Where?" I asked. The Robot gave directions. I ran to the window and there it was. The beautiful, bountiful, wonderful Earth was right in front of me!
"Professor, Major, you're alive, thank heavens. He says it's Earth but I don't believe it. It's an illusion, a mirage, an apparition!" I exclaimed as the two men awoke and stood.
"That's no apparition, that's our solar system!" Professor said. I ran to the Robot, asking if the nightmare was over.
"It is, and that, without a shadow of a doubt, is Earth." He said. I looked at Major West and Professor Robinson.
"Are you sure that is Earth?" I asked.
"Absolutely." He replied, smiling. I smiled.
"I, of course, knew this all along. I just wanted you to figure it out by yourselves." I told them, fibbing brilliantly. The Robot turned to me.
"Dr. Smith, you have got to be kidding." He said. I shot him a glare. Major West decided we should suit up to re-enter and Professor went to tell the others. I confronted Major.
"Major, is there any way I can be of help?" I asked. He smiled.
"Yes, stand clear and don't hold your breath." he informed me. We began the re-entry.
Later, we tried to reach Alpha Control. They simply would not respond. We were ordered to go to the lower deck and strap in for the landing. The landing was rather smooth and when we were ready, we walked off the ship with flashlights. Everyone commented on the Earth-like sights and how happy they were. I knelt down and kissed the heavenly soil.
"Oh, Earth! How wonderful!" I exclaimed. I began to speak as if people were there. Oh, how people would want to meet me! I'd be famous! William interrupted me in my glory.
"Dr. Smith, there's no one here but us, so you should save your homecoming speech for someone who has to listen." he suggested. I looked around. The boy was right. I'd thought there were more people out here. I took the boy with me and we began to explore the area.
William and I began to walk around the area. There were piles of lumber everywhere. I was in the middle of imagining the reception I'd get when two men with guns appeared. They ordered that we put our hands up in surrender. I heroically tried to convince them that we were not evil creatures.
It seemed as though these men had never heard of our escapades in space. In fact, they seemed a bit behind the times. William discussed video screens with them and a peculiar thing occurred.
"1950 ain't for three years yet." the man stated. I stared at him in utter disbelief.
"You mean to tell me that this is 1946?" I inquired nervously. He corrected me. It was 1947. The second man stopped the other for a moment.
"They don't talk so different than us. Maybe we was wrong." he said. We quickly agreed with him. These imbeciles had to believe us at some point! Just then, scaring the two men, the Robot arrived.
"All personnel report to the Jupiter 2 immediately." he said. The first man tried to shoot him and he shocked them with electricity.
"I suggest we leave before those jokers really get me riled up!" the Robot told us. For once, I agreed with that mechanical ninny. We ran as fast as we could. When all was safe, we discussed the matters at hand. Everyone thought it best to try to get to our own time. Everyone, that is, except me. We could be masterminds with all we know about technology. But no one agreed. It was decided we would leave in twelve hours, but I still didn't like it. So, I decided to take action. I walked outside and the Robot thought I was an intruder.
"Hush, ninny, you know perfectly well who I am." I said.
"This area is off limits to all Jupiter 2 personnel until further notice." the Robot said. I quickly informed him that I was no longer a part of the crew. I belonged on Earth, no matter what year. I attempted to get him to come along, but he simply refused. I left and promptly went into town.
It was odd; it seemed they were all hiding from me. Two men came around patrolling. Somehow, I needed them to trust me. When I came outside in disguise, I saw William and the Robot. But, it seemed they would not be joining me and in fact were going to take me back to the ship. Soon, a group of men came to capture them, thinking I had found them. I quickly convinced the men to appoint me Major. I went into the barn to "interrogate" the boy.
"Dr. Smith, can you please go away? You're bothering me." William announced. Well, I'd have to set him straight. I was discussing future plans with the Captain when a young man ran over saying that the "aliens" wanted their boy back before they left. I sent the two men to go to the Jupiter 2 at once. We marched over and announced that we would destroy the ship if their weapons were not put down in five minutes. As the crew of the Jupiter 2 talked, the Captain began to grow suspicious of my true identity, especially when Professor Robinson knew my name.
I ordered the others to capture the Professor, thinking it would get the others to come out of the ship. They left myself and the Professor alone for some time. The rest of the crew got off the ship and brought the weapons. William had managed to escape and arrived just before we tried to blow up the ship. He agreed that as long as we let the others go, he would stay with me. I must say I was rather pleased with the boy. The Captain decided that I made the wrong choice and tried to fire at the ship. The canon was quite weak and did not manage to blow anything up. The Robinsons used this to escape and get to the ship. I decided to run back to the ship. I was to make my life worthwhile elsewhere.
Alright, I hope you liked it. I know it took a while to post but I've been doing a lot lately. Anyway, I'm sorry it got a little skimpy towards the end, but it was all I could do to finish it quick. Please review and let me know what other episodes I can do!
All the best,
Anna
