Gunn nearly freaked out of his mind when he saw what Fred had done to his truck. Odd bits and pieces of wiring stuck out all over the place, not to mention it was now sporting a rainbow coloured paint job and, somehow, disco lights.
"Remind me again why we couldn't use Angel's car?" he asked in a strained voice, his face paled.
"Are you kidding, I'd never let them do that to my car," Angel happily patted Gunn on the shoulder before getting into the truck and turning the key. Instantly the disco lights lighted up and began flashing as the car started.
"Smashing baby," Angel approved. Gunn nearly fainted.
Angel leaned his head out of the window, "Are you sure this will work, gorgeous," he addressed Fred.
"Oh," Fred replied, "I think so. If my theories on space/time are correct. Just set the year on the dashboard," she leaned in and showed him 1750, "then hit the accelerator until the Shag-o-meter reaches 10 and bang, you'll be back in 1750 before you know it."
"Well that's just groovy," Angel replied, pleased, "why don't you hop in and we'll test it out shall we."
Fred grinned, "Ok," and began getting in the passenger seat.
"Wait!" Gunn butted in hastily, "why don't I go. You should stay here, just in case something goes wrong. Besides, it's my truck."
"Sorry baby he's got a point," Angel conceeded. Fred looked bitterly disappointed as she stepped back beside Wesley and Cordelia, and Gunn took her place in the vehicle.
"But Angel," said Wesley, "how will we know that your alright and something hasn't gone wrong in the past?"
"This is a time-machine Wesley," Angel replied good-naturedly, "if we don't return the instant that we left, then we're not coming back!"
"Quite right," Wesley agreed, "well, good luck Angel. I'll see you in just a moment I suppose." They all waved, Angel revved the truck and then let it streak away into the night. As the Shag-o-meter began tipping towards 10, the car began to shake and rattle, and then suddenly it disappeared.
Wesley sighed, "Well, they haven't returned the instant that they left." Fred looked concerned. Then, another vision hit Cordelia.
