Chapter 6: Departure

The following morning when Chalk woke up, he was in the best mood he had, had for a long time. Today Chalk was going to meet the woman of his dreams and do something he actually valued, rather than continue modern day engineering work which he had grown dull of. The machine was built, the address (physical and time) was set, all was left was the actual plan. The plan was in Chalk's eyes the easiest because he had already conceived it since the day he had dreamt of his time travel fantasy. However there were a few details Chalk hadn't ironed out until now about the actual plan.

1st and upon arrival, he would already be inside the set so security wouldn't be a problem since their guarding the exterior, however a fake ID badge/pass would help and be easy to make. 2ndly and obvious next step would be to find Kayla Sarian. That wouldn't be hard for Chalk, as she probably has a whole team of makeup and support staff following her around as she works and sings.

However with that support staff came a huge problem as, just seeing her in person wouldn't quite be the true goal. "All I need is a chance to talk to her." Chalk said as all he wanted a chance to actually talk to his fantasy girl.

Well obviously, Chalk wanted more than just talking but you get the idea.

Logically Chalk concluded that approaching Kayla at the right time would be crucial, as there was no way Chalk would be able to talk, let alone approach her, to her with that group of support staff surrounding her, constantly making sure she looked perfect and had everything set up for her success. After all, she was the intended star of the show, or video really. Chalk's only chance would be to approach her when she was alone or by herself.

Chalk quickly dismissed his 1st thought in his mind, "But hiding and waiting in her dressing room, is probably a little too creepy…I need a distraction." Chalk needed to divert Sarian's support staff away from her, whether it be just for a moment or a few minutes, any time she isn't surrounded would be the perfect time to approach her, while also not seeming to creepy and out of place. Thinking, Chalk concluded the perfect time to approach Kayla would be when the shooting of the video was entirely over. "As soon as their video is over and completely shot (filmed), she should be alone. Why would any of those support staff stick around? Its my only shot". After the video was finished being shot and filmed, no one would really need to follow Kayla Sarian around, her job was finished and they didn't need anything else from her.

"But there's no way to know when they exactly finished the filming the video that day!…I guess I just have to get there myself and wait to see when they actually finish their filming." Chalk reasoned with his limited knowledge of the actual filming of his beloved video.

"Waiting? Yeah I can wait a few minutes or hours for her.". Content with his 2nd part of his plan, the only question and step that remained was the one Chalk had thought about for years now. What would he actually say to Kayla?

"Hey beautiful, how you doin?.. No. Hey Ms. Sarian, can I have you're autograph?...No, now I sound like a child;…Hey, nice work out there, do you have an agent? I'm….No, and now I sound like a sleazy Hollywood agent." thinking Chalk rattled off more cheesy and overworked one liners in his head until he settled on one. "What if I just say hi, I'm a big fan and just tell truth." Sighing, Chalk realizes it's his best option to talk to her and is often the one he mostly overlooks, being himself and being truthful. "Alright then" Chalk says out loud, as all that was left was to pack.

Intending to not stay longer a day or two in the past, Chalk didn't need much more than the fake ID badge he made and right time appropriate clothing/outfit. Ready and eager to get going, Chalk about to leave his now empty room (everyone else is awake and has left the apartment) and go a ground level (safer), sees something out of the corner of his eye that catches his attention. Going back towards his bed and reaching underneath, "Huh.". It was Chalk's own set of build bots, all connected together and shrunk down into smaller handheld balls.

Build bots were an invention of the future that essentially eliminated the need for construction workers along with eliminating the time staking long process of building and repairing places/things. A single set of build bots, like Chalk's, could build an entire house with clothing, food, and other living essentials included, in a matter of mere hours. Needless to say, having a set of build bots was invaluable in the future compared to having to instead pay people for a result that could take months to create.

Chalks mind quickly came up with a possible situation of if Chalk by somehow impossibly gets lucky and infatuated Kayla Sarian, the build bots could build him a house and a bed real quick, concealing his identity as a time traveler. "Well you never know," as Chalk takes them and puts all of the bots inside his backpack (which he hadn't used or worn in a long time), liking the idea but also recognizing the impossibility of the idea of a woman like her with a man like him.

Leaving his room and apartment in a 2011-styled outfit and arriving at the ground floor, Chalk walked into a more secluded area (so no one sees what he is doing, as fame isn't Chalk's goal her). Putting in the time and place coordinates into his now functioning time machine device, Chalk breaths in "here we go" and pushes the 'go' button and instantly his body starts to teleport.

For Chalk it's only a few seconds before his body is fully transported. Immediately upon arrival to his new destination, Chalk looks around to see a large number of buildings/warehouses surrounding him, with one directly in front of him reading B-Sides studios in its digital billboard. "Oh my g-d..I..I did it.!." Chalk exclaimed to no one as he now realized where and more importantly when he was, B-Sides studios, March 12, 2011, the day Kayla Sarian as Ashley Pittman became immortalized as one of the sexiest Slave Leias ever and created a video that live down in history as one of the sexiest non-pornographic videos of all time.
