I decided to go back to first person. Sorry if it confused you. :-)

I wasn't sure about Spaceship Earth but I had to try. It was the only way to save Finn. I don't know the consequences, but it had to be done. Mickey obviously didn't know why we were going to Spaceship Earth.

"Spaceship Earth is basically a time machine, right?" I asked Mickey.

"Yeah, I think so. I don't usually go over to Epcot." Mickey said.

"Do you think it could really work as a time machine?"

"You want to go back in time to save Finn?"

"I want to stop Maleficent from capturing him in the first place. It'll prevent so many problems if it never happened."

"But-"

"There it is!" I interrupted.

A giant, golf ball-like building came into view over the horizon. Most people don't know that the famous golf ball is actually a ride. I didn't even know it was a ride until I came to Florida.

I stumbled on a rock ad fell to the ground. Mickey, not knowing that I had fallen, tripped over me. I had freaked out when I had turned invisible once I stepped outside the Magic Kingdom. I couldn't wait to get back into one of the parks.

I dusted myself off and helped Mickey back onto his feet. I sprinted towards Spaceship Earth. Mickey was yanked behind me to run.

"Sorry." I apologized.

When we got close enough to Epcot I turned visible. I cheered to myself. I missed seeing me hands and feet and arms and legs and… Well, you get the idea.

The gloomy clouds were now black and lightning boomed above my head. It reminded me of the movie "Back to the Future". I remembered that it was storming outside in the first movie when the kid needed to get back to his own time. But I needed to go back in time.

Mickey and I ran under the large golf ball and zigzagged through the waiting line for Spaceship Earth. Mickey went over to the control panel.

"Do you know what you're doing?" I shouted as the ride whirred to life. The car I was sitting in wouldn't start until Mickey let the cars go. There was another Crack! of lightning in the early morning sky.

Mickey glanced up from the panel dumbfounded. "I have no idea what any of these buttons do."

I lost all hope. I was never going to go back in time. I was never going to save Finn. Disney World was finished. Then Mickey lit up and bounced up and down.

"I found the button!" Mickey exclaimed. I looked at him. My face glowed with hopefulness. "It's the one that starts the cars."

"Thanks, Mickey!" I called out.

"Is it ok is I come with you?" Mickey asked his gloved finger hovering over the start button.

I considered it. If Mickey comes with me then it might be a big help, but what if it's more like babysitting. This was going to be tough. What to do? I need to retrace Finn's steps, but where do I begin. When was Finn kidnapped? I would need major help with this. I'd made up my mind.

"Hurry in after you press the Start button." I told him.

After Mickey pushed the button he dashed to the seat next to me. The long line of cars slowly moved along the loading dock. Thunder crashed outside, again. I was getting annoyed with the slowness of the ride. I hopped out the car and ran to the panel.

"What are you doing?" Mickey shouted.

"We're never going to go back in time if the ride's going this slow. I'm making it go faster." I told him.

I scanned the controls. I couldn't find anything. The first car started through the ride. I slammed on the stop button to save me some time. I stared at all the blinking, multicolored, and different shaped buttons. No of them were labeled "speed control". I felt like yanking out my hair. There had to be something. I threw my head into my hands.

Thunder struck somewhere near Epcot. I jumped. I clutched the edges of the panel. My fingers felt the tip of a button under the table. I looked under the panel. There, right in front of my face, was a small dim lighted button. It was painted the color of the panel, made for blending in. I pushed the button.

There was a Swoosh; it was from behind me. A secret panel had slid out from the wall. It… It…

"What's going on?" Mickey called out from the second car. He was bored.

I didn't answer him. I just smiled. "The time machine…" I mumbled. "We can save Finn."

"Huh?" Mickey called.

"These are the time machine controls!" I cheered. I turned a knob to five days into the past, Monday. Hour, 6:00 a.m. The ride whirred again. I stepped back from the controls and checked them over. A button flashed blue and white. It was the start button. I gulped. I wondered what it would feel like to travel back in time.

I pushed the Start button. An old man's voice took over the speakers and I ran over to my seat and buckled up. Mickey tested my seat belts strength by pulling on it.

A robotic voice came over the speakers. "T minus 10, 9, 8,"-Mickey and I grabbed on tightly to our seats-"7, 6, 5,"-I swallowed a lump in my throat-"4, 3, 2, 1, 0. Lift off."

The ride suddenly took off backwards at an insanely fast speed. The ride usually takes fifteen minutes but this would only seem like thirty seconds. We passed through the blurry scenes the wind whipping at my hair. I couldn't see anything. I tried to scream but it was carried away from me. I couldn't speak, I couldn't move, and I was barely able to breathe.

Suddenly the ride stopped.

We were back at the loading dock. I looked at my watch, 6:00 in the morning. I smiled.

"We did it! We made it!" I unbuckled my seat belt and jumped out of the seat. I quickly went serious "We need to leave."

Mickey and I had escaped from the park soon afterward. It was somehow 7:00. I wasn't a DHI anymore. There wasn't even a DHI for me yet. It might be a disadvantage though since I couldn't go 'all clear' now. I was at a gas station, not the one that I almost got captured by pirates in. I pecked at the little numbers of the quarter telephone by the bathroom. The phone rang for a moment and then someone picked up.

"Whitman's residence, this is Mrs. Whitman speaking." Said the lady on the other end. I had gotten all the DHIs' phone numbers the day I became a Kingdom Keeper. It was in my pocket while traveling back in time.

"Hello." I replied in an uncharacteristically cheery tone. "Is Finn there? I have a question about our… Health assignment."

"Oh, how delightful. I'll get Finn for you." In the background I could hear Mrs. Whitman calling to Finn that he had a phone call. I hoped that Finn wasn't still at Disney World. Then I heard tired, lazy footsteps come down the stairs.

"Hello?" Finn yawned. It felt like a dream to hear Finn's voice again, the good kind, Not the nightmares.

"Finn I need to talk to you." I said.

"Who is this?"

"Um…" I looked around. I saw that the Calendar hadn't been changed and still read-"June." I replied.

"You say you go to my school? I have never heard of you."

"I made up the assignment thing." I admitted regrettably. "I just really need to talk to you."

"Listen," Finn said in an irritated tone. "I got to get ready for school."

He just about hung up on me before I blurted. "I know about the others."

Finn, confused and curious, put the phone back to his ear. "What?"

I took in a deep, shaky breath. "I know about the Kingdom Keepers."

"A lot of people know about us. Do you just want an autograph or something?"

"No, I know about where you go to every night." Finn suddenly seemed interested. "More importantly, I know about the Overtakers and what they have planned. I'm here to help you."

Finn was dumbfounded. He was so dumbfounded that he dropped the phone. It landed with a THUD. He quickly picked it back up. "I-I don't believe you."

"Here, I'll show you." I told Finn and I gave the phone to Mickey.

"Hi ya!" Mickey said. I could hear Finn drop the phone, again. I took the phone back from Mickey.

"I'm telling the truth!"

"Where'd you learn all of this?" Finn asked doubtfully.

"Listen, when I was your replacement-"

"What replacement?" Finn blurted.

"I shouldn't have said that."

"Who are you really?" Finn asked. "Are you an Overtaker?"

"I can't tell you my name, yet. We need to talk someplace private."

"What, so you can lead me into a trap? I don't think so!" Finn didn't waste a minute. He hung the phone up immediately.

I thought long and hard about what to do. Then I thought of something.

You have to believe me. I absolutely need to talk to you. It's literally a matter of life or death. I thought hoping I might be able to use telepathy.

I dialed the phone furiously. I hoped Finn was still near his phone.

The phone clicked. "Meet me at my school on the black top at 12:30 under the huge oak."
