Okay, I had to "remix" some of the chapters because I spelt Keely's name, Keely Tessler, not Tesslow. I didn't know much about potf when I first started writing this story. This is one of the chapters I had to re-post.
(BTW- I was the one who suggested to that they should have this category. If you don't see a category that you're looking for, it won't hurt to request it.)
IT'S ALL RELATIVE
Chapter 1: Another day in 2005
It was a year from the day that he had arrived in 2004, and Phil Diffy thought this would be and excellent opportunity to show his best friend Keely Tesslow the time machine.
"It's amazing!" gawped Keely.
"Not really," Phil replied, "It's an old model."
"But it's so Sci-Fi!" Keely said, mesmerized by all the bright, flashing buttons.
"Sci…Fi?" Phil asked, unable to recognize the word.
"You know, movies, like Star Wars and Star Trek?"
"…Oh! I remember now! A few years after I was born, those movies were banned."
"Banned? Why?" Keely asked in shock.
"Well, with advanced technology, we could do some of the things in the movies. Apparently they were banned when a group of people tried to make a Death…Star… or something like that."
"Really? Wow!...Well, wow for me, you would probably be used to all that amazing technology!"
That was an understatement.
Phil Diffy wasn't an ordinary 16-year old teenager. A year ago, he and his family took a time travel vacation. The time machine malfunctioned and Phil and the rest of the Diffy family, originally from the year 2121, were flung from the time-space continuum and landed in Pickford, California, in the year 2005. It hadn't taken Phil long to find a friend, Keely, and he let her in on his secret-he was from the future. He had other friends at school, but Phil and Keely were closer than any other pair of friends could be.
"You should stay for dinner tonight." Phil offered. "It's okay, Pim's not cooking."
Keely smiled in relief.
"That's good. That Unification loaf incident is still fresh in my mind, even though it was so long ago."
Phil smiled.
"Almost a year. In fact, it is exactly a year since I arrived here."
"Really? Your family should celebrate!"
"Um…no. It would probably make them feel depressed, realizing that they were still stuck in this century, and have been for the past year."
Keely put her hand in front of her mouth. She had forgotten that.
"Oops… sorry Phil, I forgot that you never wanted to be here."
Phil shook his head, grinning. She couldn't have gotten it more wrong.
"No, that's not what I meant." Phil laughed. "There are many things in this century that I have started to really enjoy."
As Keely smiled, he met her gaze. He zoned out and suddenly realised he had been looking at her too long. Phil turned away, not wanting to give Keely something to misinterpret. Keely smiled. Phil was funny how he kept doing that. He smiled back.
"C'mon inside Keely," He said, patting her on the head. "you must be hungry."
