(A/N: Yay, this is almost done. I'm going to have the sequel up...sometime this year. ;)

Chapter fourteen: Attempts to return home

Phil approached his dad, he knew his dad wouldn't agree, but it wouldn't hurt to try.

"Hey dad."

His dad turned around and took the virtue-goggles off that he was wearing.

"Dad, are you sure I can't go back?"

"Yes Phil I'm sure."

Phil knew that arguing was useless so he muttered "Okay" and walked up to his room.

Over the next few days, Phil didn't talk to anyone, he barely ate his dinner and he didn't pay attention to in school, although it didn't matter if he was because going to school in his time was like watching a movie on your sunglasses.

Phil missed being in a classroom, interacting with students. He missed the talking and laughter of the students as they joked with their friends.

Phil's dad finally couldn't take his behavior anymore and went to his wife while she was watching the news( again).

"Honey I'm worried about Phil."

"Well, I told you right from the beginning."

He looked at his wife puzzled.

"Told me what?"

"When Phil took Keely on their first Skyyak ride I told you that you should get Phil away from her. I warned you that he may fall in love with her, but you said "No, Phil's a smart boy." Now do you see what's happening?"

"No."

She sighed and turned off the T.V., which had drastically changed over the last hundred years.

"I'm not saying it's Phil's fault that he fell in love with her, but WE as his parents, are supposed to make him happy."

Phil's dad laughed as if he knew were this was going.

"I know were this is going. You want me to send Phil back don't you?"

She didn't answer, instead she looked away, so he took that as a "Yes"

"You know what? You are absolutely right. I thought Phil would get over her but he is so heart broken over her, especially since the old Keely of our time died recently. I'm going to go talk to him right now."

Phil's dad walked up to his room. Phil didn't hear him knock so he was mildly surprised to see him there.

He cleared his throat and Phil turned around. He wiped his eye and looked as if he would like to threw his dad off a building or jump off a building himself.

"Son?"

Phil didn't turn around.

"I know how much you want to go back. I can't stand you being unhappy about being here son, so...your mother and I have decided to let you go back."

Phil turned around and hugged his dad.

"REALLY! Thanks dad, I promise I'll visit you every-"

"Oh no, I'm going with you."

"Really? Okay well as long as I get to go back I'm fine."

Phil's dad turned to walk out but he stopped.

"Oh, and we bought this time machine using our vacation money, so it's ours. I mean..yours. Actually it's mine, but I made it so that it would be easier for you to control. Just remember two things."

"What's that?"

" Rule one: Do not let anyone except Keely see the time machine. I suppose when your older and have kids, they can see it, but tell them not tell anybody either Rule two: Never let the time machine out of your sight. If you need to get around, I would suggest buying a 21st century car."

"If your going with me, then why are you telling me this?"

" I'm not going to stick with you like glue. I'm just going with you just to make sure you settle some where. I'll stay with you for two years, then when your 18, you'll be on your own. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, but how long do I have to keep this stuff in secret?"

" The skyyak until the year 2042, everything else will be invented in 2023, so keep all those small gadgets in secret for the next ten years or so. The time machine you have to hide until the year 2073. I have added something new on the Wizard so you can shrink the time machine and carry it in your pocket so you don't risk anyone stealing it."

"Okay."

Phil's packed all his stuff in the time machine. His future clothes were blue, and the name tag said "Diffy " on it. He hopped into the time machine and set the destination time, which was the Monday after prom.

His dad was taking a long time to get there so Phil went to see what was wrong.

His dad came out just as Phil was about to go back to his house.

Just then Phil and his dad heard a scream from inside.

Phil and his dad ran inside, and saw two robbers trying to steal some things in their house.

Pim and her mother were tied up and gagged..

Great! Just Great! Now maybe I'm not so sure I should go back now.

Phil's dad saw him standing there and went after one of the robbers.

"Phil! Just go! You have a time machine! I can handle myself!"

He tied the robber to the ground and called the police. Phil stood there for what seemed like hours, but it was only a few minute because the police were already there.

"GO! NOW! Before it's too late! Your not even old enough to have a license! You need to go before they catch you!"

"But, dad!"

"Just go!"

Phil ran outside and hurried into the time machine. He started it up, and he was about to close the door, but he stopped and took one last glance outside. He swallowed and closed the door.

Soon Phil started to feel the time machine shake. It was like riding a plane with high turbulence. (Keely told him that had happened to her when she was 10)

Suddenly the shaking stopped and Phil took off his seatbelt.

He opened the door very slowly at first but realized that he was in the exact time he was supposed to be in! He saw a billboard that showed the movie "Samurai, I love you "being released on home video and DVD. Phil drove the time machine to an old construction site, too bad he didn't know they were testing bombs there. Phil shrunk all the future gadgets and his belongs that he had brought and put them in his pocket. He didn't come around to shrinking the time machine though...

"Hey you! Get out of here! This bomb going to go off in 3 seconds.!"

Phil ran to the other side, and just as the explosion hit, Phil dodged out of there.

He watched in horror as the time machine blew up into pieces.

"Sorry about the R.V. kid. I bet your parents are going to be real mad at you. Come on guys let's go, that's the last bomb for today" a construction worker told him as they were leaving.

Phil now knew that he would never see his family again...

Phil ran to his school and tried to find Keely but she wasn't there. People were staring at him because of the weird clothes he was wearing.

He noticed the back of girls head with dark brown hair, but it wasn't Keely so ignored it. He stopped and rested at the lockers for a few minutes.

Meanwhile Keely was on the phone talkiing to one of her friends named Via.

"Keely why are you so sad?"

"Here's a question? Why are we talking on our cell phone when our lockers are right on the opposite sides of each other?"

Via laughed at the last remark, and didn't say anything for two whole minutes.

"Via? Okay now you tell me what's wrong."

"Phil's right behind me. I thought you said he moved away to another country on Sunday!"

Keely stared open-mouthed at her phone. Was this a bad connection?

"Via, are you sure?"

"Yeah I'm sure."

Keely walked over to Via and saw Phil with his head bowed leaning against a locker.

Via spoke up.

"Phil? Remember me? The new student that you set up with to be Keely's friend?"

"Yeah?"

"Well..guess who's here!"

Keely and Phil didn't say anything but stared at each other.

(A/N: ohhhh. Wonder what they are going to do! Sorry if this was random, especially the robbery, but I couldn't have them leave without anything happening! That would be boring if I just wrote "Phil and his dad made it safely there, and phil ran to school saw Keely and they lived happily ever after." Mean who does that:D
