Ch 3: Is it love at first sight?
He had his hands over his head and he was crouching down. Any second now the time machine was going to hit him. Wilbur's eyes were tightly shut. He open one of them just a little bit and everything was fine, no bruises, no cuts, no nothing. He was all in one piece and unharmed. He scratched his head confused and then turned to the time machine where he saw a familiar figure walk out. It was Lewis. What was he doing in the future? Wilbur started to approach him when suddenly two more figures came out after him. These two however were people he had never seen before. One was a small boy, probably around 10, with blonde hair that look liked it had been blown back by the wind and the other was a girl with long black hair that was pushed back by a headband. She looked very pretty. He had never seen someone who looked so...so...well perfect. He shook his head. What was he thinking?
That was impossible. How could the time machine still be in one piece. Not a scratch or a dent on it. How could they even be unharmed? This was confusing. This day was weird enough.
Violet sighed with relief. She did it. Everything and everyone was safe and sound. Other than the huge dirt trail they made no one was hurt. The other good thing was that it seemed that the kid didn't see her use her powers, therefore her secret was safe. After she got out, she watch the boy examine the time machine. It was a bit funny seeing him look so confused. She couldn't help but let out a small smile. Violet looked over to her side and saw someone approaching them. Was that the guy who they almost hit?
As she watch him, she felt something inside her jump, like something had turned on. This boy had black hair like hers, but his hair was pointed in the front. " Maybe he was around her age." she thought. He looked very cute. No. She shook that thought away. She needed to figure out how to get home.
He saw the girl look at him and he couldn't resist giving her a small smirk, she even returned him a small smile. He then turned his attention on Lewis, who was still looking at the time machine.
"Ahem...care to explain." he said crossing his arms and grinning. He was real happy to see Lewis, but also curious on why he was here.
Lewis got startled. "Oh...I...long story." he shrugged.
"I got plenty of time. So start." he ordered.
Lewis sighed and began explaining about how he found the second time machine and about the strange figure and how they ended up in the future. His story didn't make much sense to Wilbur. "Fine, but who are they?" he asked gesturing over to the other two.
"I'm Violet." said the girl, who seemed to be listening on their conversation. "And this is my brother Dash." she continued.
The boy grinned childishly."Nice meeting you."
"Nice meeting you too, I'm Wilbur." smiled Wilbur looking at Violet. She again smiled back to him
He could see what was going on. Oh no. That's not going to happen. He grabbed Wilbur and turned him around so Violet and Dash couldn't here them.
" I see what you're doing here." he said.
"Huh? what?" said Wilbur confused.
"Stop flirting with her. She's from the past, you could alter the time stream if you get involved too much with her life." he whispered
Wilbur didn't know what Lewis was talking about. He wasn't flirting with Violet. He was just...what was he doing?
Why was Vi smiling at that Wilbur kid? He thought she liked Tony. This must be some teenage girl thing that a boy like him will never understand. He looked around and he couldn't believe it, he was in the future. It was so bright and colorful. He wouldn't mind living here one day. Sadly he still had many years to wait. What year were they in anyway?
She kept slapping her head. "You stupid girl. You're with Tony now, so stop flirting with Wilbur." she kept repeating in her mind. Earlier today she finally got what she wanted and now she meets another boy who she thinks she has feelings for. "No Vi, he's from the future and you're from the past." they could never be together. But even saying those words in her mind couldn't stop her from trying.
"The time machine is out of fuel!" repeated Wilbur. Lewis just nodded his head. How was he going to explain this to his parents. He was already grounded for a month and he didn't want to extend his punishment. It was torture enough already. He looked at his watch and snap he was late. He was suppose to be home 15 minutes ago.
"Fine we'll take this back to the garage and be quick." he pushed.
Lewis just rolled his eyes and helped him push the time machine. Violet and Dash started following them too.
"Do you need help with that?" she asked.
Wilbur shook his head. He didn't want her to do much work. He thought it was gentlemanly to not make her do so much work. She just smiled and continued walking beside them.
A.N: I edited everything up to date now. so hopefully the story will make more sense now.
