Author's Note: Thank you so much for the continued positive responses to the story. I'm doing my best to keep on posting but I'm going to be honest and say the next couple days will be a little hectic… I'll do my best to keep everything updated though! In the mean time, keep on reading and reviewing. As always, praise is good, constructive criticism is okay, NO FLAMES. Flames are mean, and mean people suck… hehe…

June 22, 1986
The computer programming had taken most of the morning and a good chunk of the afternoon, but just after 4:00, Blaine triumphantly announced that the computer was ready and they could leave at any time. Now they were all standing in the middle of a storage hangar, in what they hoped was the proper year to find their children. A glance at their wristwatches, which still seemed to be working, said the time was 5:30 in the afternoon, but that was in their own time.
The one thing that all of them had remembered was to bring along duffel bags full of clothing for their children and themselves. They knew from their previous experience that they would be in the past for four days, so they packed enough clothing to last them as long. Most of them had brought a few of the children's favorite things to let them have a taste of home, such as their portable CD players, a couple CD's, teddy bears, movies, and snacks.
"Man, what a trip," Bazooka said as he rubbed his head. Most of them had found themselves strewn every which way on the floor, surrounded by storage crates and spare parts for what appeared to be military vehicles. The duffel bags they'd brought with them were scattered around where they lay.
"Looks like we're here. Let's go find Abby and the others," Hector said quickly, as he tried to stand up so he could head out the door.
Courtney grabbed his shoulder before he could stand up. "Shouldn't we figure out exactly where on the base we are first?" she suggested.
"But what about-"
"We'll get Abby," she told him. "But let's figure out a way to get out kids without having ourselves arrested."
He sighed and nodded his head, knowing that his best friend was right. "All right," he said quietly. "But let's figure this out quick. I want to make sure that my little girl hasn't been corrupted for life."
!!!!!!!!
To be continued: So the childrens' parents have officially made it back in time. Now they need to find the kids… and what will happen if they come face to face with themselves? Stay tuned to find out and keep reviewing!
