A Trip Through Time (New Version)

Chapter 4: Hi, I'm Andy

Previously

Andy was surprised too but it was only because one of the guys that was here.

He looked just like him...I mean, A LOT like him, even having the same head shape!

"What the?!..."Andy thought as he stared at the other boy in front of him.

Sure, the kid was a little shorter than him and his hair was wilder but the resemblance was there! He and the other kids looked familiar too, like he has seen them somewhere before…

But where?

"What the heck?!..."Andy said in surprise as he and the other kid stared at each other.

Just what is going on here?!

Present Time

Kiara was still waiting for Andy.

About ten minutes have passed since he left to go investigate whatever that thing was and she was tapping her foot impatiently for her friend.

"What's taking him so long?..."The girl asked as she still didn't see it.

She wondered if she should go get him but before she could consider it, her phone rang.

She picked up her cell phone and saw that it was her mother calling. She panicked but tried to maintain her composure. She then answered the phone.

"Hello, Mother..."Kiara greeted, hoping that she sounded okay.

Thankfully, her mother didn't seem to notice anything as she spoke.

"Hello Kiara, I just called to check up on you..."Her mother said.

"Well...I'm fine, Mother..."Kiara answered as she kept hoping she wouldn't ask for Andy.

"How's Andy?..."Her mother asked. "Are you two having fun?..."She asked and Kiara thought fast.

"Oh, we sure are..."Kiara lied through her teeth. "Andy's...had to go to the boys room right now but he'll be back in a moment..."She lied again.

She didn't like lying to her mom but she had no choice here. Thankfully, her mother didn't question what she said.

"I see. Well, as I said, I just wanted to see how you are doing. Enjoy the movie and remember to be back before the streetlights come on..."Her mother reminded her.

Kiara sighed.

"Yes, Mother. I won't forget..."Kiara said to the other woman over the phone.

After a few more moments of talking, Kiara said goodbye to her mother and hung up. She is just glad that she came up with that bathroom excuse and her mother didn't ask her more questions.

The dark haired girl frowned.

"Andy, just what are you doing?!..."She thought to herself in annoyance.

What could her best friend be doing?

Meanwhile

With Andy

There was silence as the four kids stared at the newcomer. The newcomer also stared at them.

Neither were sure what was going on here but eventually, someone managed to speak up, which managed to snap the other kids out of their own state of shock.

It was Gerald, apparently.

The tall haired boy saw the new kid who had a likeness to his best friend and spoke up.

"Mmmm….Mmmmm…mmmm! Arnold, this guy sure looks a lot like you…" Gerald pointed out the obvious for them.

The other kids, now out of shock, began to speak too.

"Two Football Heads?! …" Helga exclaimed, too confused and briefly fearing another Arnie thing.

"Oh my!..."Phoebe said, not expecting this.

Arnold, on the other hand, was now out of shock. He and this new kid merely looked at each other. Both at a loss for words.

"He looks like me!..."Arnold and the new boy both thought at the same time.

Sure, there were minor differences like eye color, height and hair styles but the resemblance was there!

"Who are you?..."Arnold was the first one to ask.

The other boy blinked, snapping out of it and decided to answer him.

"I...I guess an introduction is in order..."The other boy said sheepishly before addressing them. "My name is Andy..."The new boy said as he extended his hand to the other boy.

Despite his initial shock, Arnold still smiled as he spoke.

"It's nice to meet you, Andy. I'm Arnold..."He said as he shook his hand.

Andy's eyes widened and he flinched upon hearing that name but tried to regain his composure.

"Oh man, this is too freaky! This kid has the same name as-…A new voice interrupted that train of thought.

It was Helga, who got impatient and started mouthing off.

"Alright, Football head! Just who is this guy, anyway?..." Helga said in her usual suspicious tone.

Andy tried not to make a face at what he just head.

"She calls him "Football Head" too…" Andy thought in surprise while Arnold looked annoyed.

"I never seen this guy before..."Arnold said and the girl didn't look too convinced.

"Oh, come on! It can't just be a coincidence that you both are Football Heads…"She said but the oblong headed boy shook his head.

"I'm serious, I know all of my cousins and relatives, and I also know that I have never seen this kid before…" Arnold insisted.

Unknown to them, Andy was getting a weird feeling about this as they kept talking. Especially when he noticed that blonde girl in pink, who seemed familiar for some reason.

"Um...Excuse me?..."Andy started, causing Arnold an Helga to briefly stop their argument.

"What?!..."Helga asked impatiently, still looking at him with distrust.

"Who are you exactly?..." Andy asked the blonde girl, since he knows she is familiar.

"The name is Helga G. Pataki, don't wear it out…"She said with her arms crossed.

Andy heard this and raised an eyebrow when the guy was beginning to sweat.

"NO WAY! Her name is...HELGA G. PATAKI?!..."Andy thought in shock but was silent as the others continued to introduce themselves.

"I am sorry for the rudeness but my name is Phoebe Heyerdahl…" She said politely.

"The name is Gerald, man…" The tall hair boy said and began to notice that the kid looked shaky.

Andy, on the other hand, was having trouble processing all of this.

"NO WAY!..."The young boy thought in astonishment as he was seeing this.

He couldn't believe it and a part of him didn't. He had to be sure about this.

"I'm sorry but…could you guys please tell me what today is? Um…The whole date and year included…." Andy asked, his voice still being a little shaky.

The others looked at him strangely.

"What's with you?!..."Helga demanded to know, being weird out by his behavior.

Andy, however, still had that look on his face as he asked again.

"Please, I have to be certain of something…" He pleaded, as he needed to sure about something.

Arnold, being much more patient and lenient that Helga, gave his answer.

"It's Saturday, April 15th, 2000…"Arnold answered the boy who still looked spooked.

"What's with this guy?..." Helga thought in suspicion and maybe worry…though she didn't understand that part yet…maybe because he looked a lot like Arnold.

Yeah, that has to be it.

Andy, on the other hand, only got more freaked out by what they just said.

"Either I am losing it or…or this is really happening!…"Andy thought, looking a little faint right now.

Arnold noticed this and approached him.

"Are you okay?..."Arnold asked in concern as he reached out for him.

Andy flinched and stepped back, trying to keep himself together but it's hard.

If these kids are who he thinks they are, then something is definitely not right here. Eventually, the other oblong-headed child managed to recover from whatever he was in.

"So, the myth is true! Oh man, I can't wait to tell…KIARA! Oh man, she has to see this!..."Andy thought as he turned to the other kids, still looking a little freaked out.

"I...I'm sorry...could...could you all please wait here a moment...I...I need to find my friend but I will be back soon..."Andy said and before the other kids could question that, he ran to go find his friend.

All the while Arnold, Gerald, Helga and Phoebe blinked at his hasty departure.

"What's his deal?..."Helga asked the others, wondering what was going on here.

"I'm not sure..."Arnold said as he looked in the direction where Andy left.

He still couldn't help but feel like he should know him but he doesn't know why?

"What is going on here?..."Arnold whispered to himself.

Back with Kiara

The dark haired girl was just sitting on the grass, having finished talking to her mother on the phone a few minutes ago.

She patiently waited for her best friend to come back but he is still gone. She really hoped deep down that he hasn't ended up doing anything too crazy or stupid...again.

"Maybe I should go after him..." Kiara thought to herself.

She was about to get up and do so, but this following happened.

"KIARA! KIARA! KIARA!..." Was suddenly heard loudly.

Kiara turned around to see a blur of yellow and red run up and she saw that it was Andy who was totally freaking out over something.

"Andy?..." Kiara said in surprise as he was now in front of her panting heavily.

Kiara was actually concern about him.

"Andy? What's wrong? What happened?..."The girl asked before her friend gave her an astonished look.

"Kiara...it's...it's-.."Andy stammered and Kiara sent him a patient look.

"Tell me what's wrong..."She encouraged.

Andy heard this and this is what came out of his mouth.

"Youwon'tbelieveittimetravelisrealIjustmetsomekidsfrom25yearsagoanditsrealandinsaneandIdon'tknowwhattodo! HELP!..."He said the entire thing at hyper speed in just one breath, screaming the last word for emphasis.

Kiara merely blinked in confusion at all of that, not understanding a single word of it.

"What? Andy, calm down! I can't understand a single word you just said. Take a deep breath and slowly tell me what's wrong…." The girl said calmly to her best friend who was still frazzled.

Andy took a deep breath to try and calm down and then looked at Kiara a little more rationally.

"I said…that…time travel is real and I just met some kids from 25 years ago!…" He said a little more slowly, causing Kiara's very jaw to drop.

"What did you say?!..."Kiara asked, not believing it.

"It's true, and you'll never believe who these kids are..."Andy said as he told his friend the identities of the time travelers.

Once he was done, Kiara gasped in shock.

"WHAT?!..."She screeched, not believing it.

"It's true...just come on!..." He said as he grabbed her arm and pulled her in the direction where he came from.

"Wait, Andy! I'm confused!…" Kiara said as she was being dragged by the oblong headed boy

Both were about to face what was probably their craziest adventure yet.

Back with Arnold and the gang

The four misplaced kids were still waiting for Andy. As always, Helga was getting impatient.

"Criminy! What's taking him?!..."Helga demanded, not liking having to wait.

The other's couldn't answer and she growled in impatience.

"I don't see why we have to wait for that other Football-Head to show up. We're already late as it is..."Helga reminded them of their situation.

"I am sure that Andy has a reason..."Arnold said, sticking up for the kid, despite having not known him very long. "Besides, we're already late. What's a few minutes more?..."He pointed out.

Before Helga could open her mouth again, they all saw Andy was coming back.

The blonde haired boy ran up to them, this time with a new girl in toe, and they both looked pretty excited about something.

But what?

Andy was now in front of them and pointed at them in excitement to the dark haired girl.

"SEE! SEE! I told you! I told you and you said I was losing it!..." The boy shouted in excitement as he shook his friend.

"A-A-ANDY! C-Calm down!..."Kiara said as she tried to regain her balance.

As soon as she got a good look at the kids before her, she gasped in disbelief and looked troubled.

"No…No way…This just isn't possible…" The girl stuttered in disbelief.

"But it is Kiara…It is…" Andy said to her, now calmed down.

The other kids looked confused by all of this.

"I'm sorry but who are you anyway?..." Phoebe asked politely.

"As I said earlier, I'm Andy and this is my best friend Kiara..."He introduced and gestured to the girl.

Arnold, being nice, went to say hello.

"It's nice to meet you, Kiara..."Arnold said.

To his surprise, the girl looked just as shaky as Andy does.

"I can't believe it..."She whispered and a certain blonde girl lost her patience.

"CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT?! CRIMINY! What's wrong with you two and what's going on here?!..."Helga shouted. "What was that weird light from last night?! What happened to the city that it looks totally different and just who are you two?!..."She demanded, loudly.

The two new kids were silent for a moment, unsure of what to say. Eventually, it was Andy who managed to find his voice.

"Hey...Arnold?..."Andy began.

"Yeah?..."Arnold asked, wondering what the other blonde boy would say.

"Earlier, you said that it was April 15th of the year 2000..."Andy reminded.

Arnold blinked in confusion before he nodded.

"Yes, but what does that have to do with anything?..."Arnold asked and Andy sighed.

"I'm sorry but…I'm afraid that's not the date today..."He said.

"It's not?..."Arnold asked and Andy shook his head.

"No...it's...it's April 8th…of the year 2025!…" He said slowly, making the four kids eyes widen.

Wait, WHAT?!
