Wilbur Robinson was in trouble the first time when he traveled to the past to bring the younger version of his father back to fix the mistakes that Wilbur made. He decided not to use the time machine ever again. Something in Wilbur had made him what to go back in time again, to find his other half. No girl in the future would date Wilbur for himself, they wanted to be with him because of who is father is. This was the hard part in his life, there was just the old fashion love his parents told him about.
"One day, you will the girl who will love you because you are yourself," His mother, Franny said to him one night.
"Mom! Come on, I'm sixteen! I'm not old enough to think about love…" Wilbur whined.
"Franny, you know you should never tease him!" Wilbur's father, Cornelius laughed.
"We were sixteen when you finally asked me out on our first date." Franny looked at her husband.
"EWW! This something I don't want to hear!" Wilbur groaned as his parents were being lovey dovey.
Wilbur sighed as he walked out of the kitchen. He walked outside and saw that the sun was out and shining brightly. He laid down on the soft green grass. Wilbur wondered what kind of girl could be out there for him, if it was possible that there was one out there for him.
"Wilbur, there you are." Carl, the robot said as he walked over looking at the sixteen-year-old.
"Yeah, Carl?" He asked.
"What are you doing out here?"
"Looking at the sky."
"Ugh, Wilbur, you know, I meant to say what you are doing here. You should be out there, dating!"
"I'm SIXTEEN! Why should I be dating?"
"Because that's what normal sixteen-year-olds do."
"Ugh, Carl I don't want to be dating right now. I don't care how mom and dad did it, that was the past."
"You need yourself a girl, maybe you'll be less cranky."
Sure, Carl was right. Wilbur did need someone, but who? Who was going to be there and who was going to the one to make her fall in love with him. Wilbur looked up at the sky and looked at the clouds. He wanted to be with someone who wanted to be with him as well. There had to be a girl out there in the world – someone who wanted to be with him, someone who had the chance to understand what was going on with his life. This girl. Who was she? Where was she in this world? Wilbur moved to his side to look at the grass, picking up the small blades.
What if he went to the past? Got a lonely girl who didn't fit in there and brought her back here? He knew for sure that would get him trouble.
"Carl, how much trouble do you think I would be if I went back in time to look for a girl?" He asked.
"A lot!" Carl looked at him, "Why would you ask something like that?"
"Cause, I'm pretty sure any girl here would only date me because I'm a Robinson." He sighed.
"Well, you should ask your parents about that, cause, I know for sure I would give you the wrong answer."
Wilbur moved from a laying position, to a sitting, to finally a standing. There was something he needed to do. This time instead of going behind his parents back, he was going to ask them straight if he can go back in time. To find someone who doesn't know his parents. Wilbur walked back to the house, with the metal robot clanking behind him.
"What are you doing to do?"
"I'm going to ask my parents."
"Wait – What!?"
"I'm going to ask to use the time machine this time!"
"You know your parents aren't going to allow you to do that!"
Though it was too late and Wilbur was already on his way to the house, ready to make his mark on the world! He was going to travel back in time, to get a girlfriend and bring her back here. Though he still had no idea what time in the year, or what the girl was going to look like. As soon as he made it back, he went to his dad's office and knock on the door.
"Come in." Cornelius Lewis said.
Wilbur open the door, "I have something to ask – but listen to me before you answer!" Wilbur said.
"What is it?" Cornelius asked.
"I want to go find a girlfriend – but…not here."
"You want to – find -"
"I said listen before you say anything."
"Go on."
"I want to use the time machine and go into the past to get a girlfriend. Someone who doesn't know who I am and doesn't know anything about me."
"Wilbur..."
"Dad! Come on, please. I – I need someone who won't know that I am a Robinson, until I know for sure that I can make this relationship work."
"Go ask your mother, and if she's willing to let you go, then come back."
Wilbur took a deep breath and sighed, leaving the office to wonder where his mother was going to be. He wondered if she was going to even allow her own baby to go on this crazy search for a girlfriend. Going into the past was going to be difficult. She had to make sure that nothing was going to happen. He had to find a girl who wouldn't mind seeing the future, someone who wouldn't be able to exists in the future - Wait did that sound horrible? Well, maybe. There had to be a way that the girl didn't exist here, then when he brings her into the future, she can live by her own name.
Wilbur knocked on his mother's door. He was nervous about what she was going to say, this was something that he wanted personally.
"Come in," Fanny said.
"Hey….Mom, Dad said I should ask you this question.."
"No."
"You didn't hear me out!"
"You have three minutes to ask me."
"I want to borrow –"
"No."
"You didn't hear me out…"
"Fine."
"I want to go back to the past and find someone who can love me for me."
"What are you talking about?"
"Mom, I can't date anyone here, because they ONLY want to date me for the idea that I am a Robinson, because my dad is a famous inventor, my mom is the best frog musician, my uncle travels to the outer space to deliver pizza." Wilbur rushed out.
"Wait – you want to take a girl from her own time away from her family – "
"I'm going to find someone who doesn't mind leaving….Mom please, let me go back into the past."
"Was your father alright with it?" She asked him.
"He said to ask you…"
"Well, you better find him in the past and stick with him…"
"Really?"
"Just come back safe, and don't change the past that much."
"Yes mother."
Wilbur hugged his mother goodbye as he headed to the garage and climbed into the time machine that he used the last time he went into the past. This was it – he was going to find his girl. Whoever she is, and where ever in time she was. He was going to find her. First off, he had to the pick the year where his dad – was with the grandparents. That would the be best year to go to. So Wilbur was off to the past….
