Chapter 3: Lotion And Litesabers
The results were amazing! A glowing purple tunnel immediately surrounded me and I started shooting forward so fast I thought my face was going to fly off! Luckily, this lasted for only a minute. Everything abruptly stopped and the tunnel dissolved. Dizzy and confused I jumped out of the machine and looked around at my surroundings. I had landed on the roof of a skyscraper that was miles and miles above ground. It wasn't the only one, either! There were skyscrapers endlessly spread out in every direction. That's when I noticed the cars. These weren't normal cars - they could fly! Zooming back and forth through the sky at high speeds, they were piloted by aliens that all looked alike. These odd creatures were very green, had long ears that ended in a sharp point and were all very old looking. I was in awe; the future was a lot stranger than I thought it would be. My gawking was interrupted by one of the aliens. He tapped me on my shoulder. I turned around and saw that they were really short too! He said, "Help me, can you?" Puzzled by the strange way he talked I said, "Sure, why not?" The alien took a plastic bottle out of the tan robe he was wearing. He held it up for me to grab and in a very bossy manner he said, "Rub lotion on my back, you will!" Before I could answer another identical alien showed up and said the same thing. More aliens popped out of thin air and all started crowding around me. They all said, "Rub lotion on my back, you will!" I looked at them all and started to get a little nervous. "I'm sorry, but I can't. I must be going! Bye!" Before I could get back to the time machine the aliens started chanting a strange word. "Litesaber! Litesaber! Litesaber! LITESABER!" They all said in unison. Not wanting to find out what that meant I jumped over the little circle they had formed and ran to the machine. I hopped in and dialed the year 2012 into the keypad. "Cheese!"
