Only Time Keeps Us Apart

"Violet I have something to tell you." he said. He couldn't keep it a secret from her anymore. The longer he kept it from her the more it would hurt. He kind of wished he could swallow those words back up. He didn't know how to put it.

"Yeah." she said.

"I…ahh…thanks. Thanks for introducing me to your friends." he said. He took a slow breathe. Why couldn't it be so easy to talk to her? He only said what made her feel better and himself.

She felt as if that wasn't what he intended to say, but let it go. Wilbur could tell her when he was ready. "Well you're welcome then." she smiled.

They continued walking until they stopped at Violet's house. "Well this is my stop." she said. A small crash could be heard inside.

"Hey give me back the remote!" Violet recognised the voice.

"Dash." she rolled her eyes.

"I thought you were fast." teased Jack -Jack.

"Sounds like typical siblings." said Wilbur.

"Yeah. That's a day with the Parrs. Well I better get going before things get out of control." she said heading towards her front door.

"Violet?" Wilbur whispered loud enough for her to hear.

She turned around and looked at him in the eyes.

"I don't know what I'm doing but…" he grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to him and pressed his lips against hers. Her lips felt warm against his and he felt as if nothing else but him and her mattered.

Violet was surprised when he pulled her towards him and his lips met hers. At first she was wide eyed and then let her eyelids slowly descend down until they were closed. This was something she wished could happen forever and that it would never stop.


Jack-Jack was still playing "keep the remote away from Dash" and every time Dash would get near him he would just teleport away from him. He ran behind the vase and reappeared outside.

"Where are you now?" Dash called.

The young boy gave a little snicker but quickly stopped when he saw Violet…doing yucky, mushy stuff with another boy. Yuck. He thought it was gross when mom and dad did it, but Violet and some kid he never knew was just…ick. Even the way they did it, they just stood there letting their lips touch. He even noticed the boy was holding his sister's hand. He didn't want to see anymore so he just teleported back in the house.

"Got ya!" and Jack-Jack felt himself get tackled to the ground.

"Ow!" he cried.

"Boys no playing rough and no powers." said Helen when she came into the room.

"Yes mom." they said in unison.

"Dash? Who is Violet's new boyfriend?" asked Jack-Jack.

Dash shrugged. "I don't know. All I know is that he's her dream boy." he whispered.

"What's this I hear about Violet and a boy?" bellowed Bob.

Dash and Jack-Jack jumped when they heard his deep voice.

"Ahh nothing." said Dash not making eye contact, gritting his teeth.

"Don't hide anything about your sister from me, especially when it has to do with boys." he stared at them hoping to get something out of his sons.

"Bob respect our daughter's privacy." said Helen placing her hands on her hips. "If Violet doesn't want to tell us she has a boyfriend than that's her decision. She'll tell us when the time comes."

"But…I don't want her to end up like what happened with that Troy kid.

"Tony." corrected Dash.

"Tony." Bob said corrected.

"You don't think I don't want that to happen again, but this time I feel that it won't." said Helen.

"And why is that?" Bob raised an eyebrow.

"A mother's instinct."

"Instinct?"

Dash and Jack-Jack exchanged looks of confusion.

"Yes." nodded Helen.


They slowly drew back. Who knew how long they were at it. "I really should be going now." Violet smiled. "Oh and not bad Mr Robinson." she winked.

"I think you could use a bit a of practice." he teased. That earned him a punch in the shoulder.

Why is it always his shoulder?

"I'm kidding." he smiled at her.

"Good night." she said and opened her door.

"Good night." he said back and headed to where he left the time machine.

The good vibe she was feeling disappeared when she entered the house. Her whole family was sitting in the living and they all turned to her when she entered.

"Violet." Bob was the first to speak. "Are you dating or seeing anyone in particular?" he asked.

"Bob!" yelled Helen.

"What!" he shouted. "Can't a father ask his daughter one question?"

"We just had a chat about her privacy. If she wants to tell us then let her."

"Can someone please explain what's going on?" asked Violet.

Everyone returned their attention to her.

"I saw you kissing a boy outside." said Jack-Jack quickly.

"Jack-Jack." Helen glared at him causing him to hide behind the couch.

"Now she's kissing?" Bob threw his hands up in the air.

Violet looked over to Dash who hadn't said anything yet. He must've sense what she was thinking and sank behind the couch with Jack-Jack.

"Do you all think I have a boyfriend?" she asked. "Well believe it or not I do and is there something wrong with that?" she crossed her arms.

"Yes. I think I should deserve to know who you're dating straight away." said Bob.

"Bob!"

"If I had a nickel for every time you yelled my name I think I'd be rich by now." Bob exaggerated.

"Look." Violet sighed. "We only started hanging out last Saturday and it was only tonight that I first realised we were more."

"Was this before or after the kiss?"

"Bob." Helen pinched the bridge of her nose, not bothered to yell his name anymore.

"Way before. And how do you even know I kissed him?"

"Your father was eavesdropping on your brothers and heard Jack-Jack saying he saw you." answered Helen.

"But I never saw Jack-Jack there."

Then she realised he teleported.

"Why?" she looked at her younger brother who only had the top of his head peeking out.

"It's not my fault it was Dash." he pointed to the blonde haired boy next to him.

"That's not true." he got up.

"You grabbed the remote and I tried to get it…"

"It was my turn so I tried to get it off you…."

The two started arguing and no one could make out what they were saying in their unison.

"And it was all you, all you and not me."

"And it wasn't my fault." Both finished at the same time.

"I have no idea what you just said." Violet said confused.

"Now you know how I feel when you three argue." said Helen.

"Who are you dating?" asked her father.

Helen wasn't even bothered anymore with him.

"His name is Wilbur. Wilbur Robinson."

"I see." Bob placed a finger to his chin.

"Dad don't try and look him up by asking Mr Diker to search government files like you tried with Tony."

Bob frowned and nodded. "Fine I won't." he said it looking at his daughter. He never realised how much she had grown. She was growing up to be a beautiful young woman and he just wasn't ready to let her go to another man. She was still and always will be his little girl.


His father was waiting for him back at the house. "Wilbur I need to talk to you." he said as soon as Wilbur jumped out of the time machine. He led him into his lab.

"I went too easy on you to let you time travel today. I should've forbidden you." he said.

Wilbur stared at him.

"Your friend, Violet." he put both hands on his desk and looked down. "She died."

That felt like someone had shot a gun into his heart. "What?"

"One of my workers was related to her and I asked him about her. He said that she died in 2006." Cornelius couldn't bare to see his son's face. He didn't want to give him the bad news. "He also said that on her last few days she was with a boy."

Wilbur kept feeling worse and worse. "You think that boy was me?" he asked.

"I think it is you. I want you to stop seeing her."

"No! I won't!" Wilbur yelled.

"I'm sorry Wilbur, but I can't risk someone's life with the time machine. Which is why I'm putting it in storage first thing tomorrow."

"Dad." he saw Wilbur was close to tears. "Please."

Cornelius shook his head. "I made up my decision." and he dismissed Wilbur. It hurt him more than it hurt his son. He didn't want him to be upset, but someone's life was at stake.

How could he do this to him? He was finally happy and he was finally able to admit his feelings to Violet. He had to find another way to see her. Just because his dad was taking the time machine away from him and Violet at the same time, doesn't mean he was going to give up.

I'll find a way Vi. A way for us to be together.
