March 31, 1952
Lucy and Ethel appeared in the living room of the Ricardo's 'old' apartment. "Oh, Ethel look... we're home."
"Yeah, I hope we stay here this time. Hey, where's Mr. Wells? And where'd Fred go?"
"I don't know."
Just then, they heard some voices coming from the kitchen.
'"You've been churning for two hours, and you didn't make any butter?"'
'"Our grandmother's must've had arms like Gorgeous George! How long does it take milk to turn into butter?"'
"Ethel, that's me..." said Lucy.
"And that's me!"
'"Ethel you have to start with cream to make butter, anybody knows that! My goodness!"'
'"Oh, cream..."'
'"Certainly!"'
"Ethel, I remember that," Lucy whispered.
"Yeah, that's when we made that bet about being like our grandparents."
"Yeah! That was even kinda' fun, but I don't think I'd wanna' do it again."
"Me neither. How do you think we got here?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know..."
"That's weird, though! I mean, seeing us the way we were!"
Back in the Summer of 1956:
Fred and H. G. Wells were both sitting down on the couch. By now, Fred understood how Lucy and Ethel had gotten to different places; 'Wells' had told him. Except he hadn't explained it to him that they were TV shows; he had conveniently left that out.
"So," Fred asked, "how are you gonna' get them home?"
"Well, there's only one thing I haven't tried."
"Oh? What's that?"
"Well, it just occurred to me that maybe the batteries in this thing are almost dead," Wells said, holding up the remote.
"Batteries. Well, if that's all, I'll get ya' some."
Fred went over to the desk, pulled out three different sizes of batteries, and gave them to Mr. Wells, "Here ya' go!"
"Yes, thank you. This should do."
He replaced the batteries, and pushed the 'come back' button again.
Then, Lucy and Ethel reappeared in the living room. "Hey," Ethel asked, "how did we get here?"
"I brought you back," H. G. Wells told them.
"Well why did you send us all over!? And how did you do that?" Lucy asked.
"Well, every place you went was the fictional world of a TV show."
"What about when we went to our old apartment, that wasn't a TV show... that was us!!"
"Do you remember when I said I knew who you were?"
"Yeah..."
"Like I said, every place you went was a TV show."
"I don't understand, Mr. Wells."
"That's okay. Well, now that you're back, I think I should be leaving."
"But Mr. Wells..."
"Nice meeting you!" Then he left.
"Well that guy was... different!" Ethel said.
"Yeah... But at LEAST were home," said Lucy, then she added, "I hope..."
The End
Okay, it's finished. It didn't have as many 'other' shows as I would have liked, but I couldn't think of something for Lucy to 'do'. I hope you liked the story. By the way, the episode I used for when Lucy went to 'I Love Lucy' was Pioneer Women; and the date March 31, 1952, was supposedly the original air date for this episode.
