Jimmy was coming out of his lab when he saw Carl, Cindy, Libby, and Sheen standing next to the hover car. "Well, I guess we're ready to go," he said as everyone hopped in. He got inside and took his seat in the pilot's chair. The hover car quickly rose a few feet off of the ground and flew off.
After a few minutes of flipping switches and pressing buttons he got up from his seat and walked over to his friends. "Well, it's on auto-pilot," he said as he took a seat next to Cindy. "Anybody want to watch a movie?"
"This thing has a TV?" Cindy asked.
"I made a few improvements last summer," Jimmy explained as he grabbed a remote. He pushed a button on it and a large screen and a DVD player popped out from under the floor. "I've got Flight of the Phoenix and The Notebook," Jimmy said as he passed around some soda and popcorn.
His four friends looked at each other. "Flight of the Phoenix," they said simultaneously. Jimmy popped in the movie sat back down as the credits came on.
"Jimmy, why do you have a copy of The Notebook?" Sheen asked while taking a sip of Purple Flurp.
"I thought the girls might want to watch it," he said coolly.
"But we saw that last year and told you we hated it," Libby told him. Suddenly everyone looked at Jimmy.
"Uh, I forgot that I had to do a report on a chick flick for English earlier this year," He explained.
"But I'm in your English class and we never," Cindy started.
"Shhhh, the movie's starting," Jimmy stated, clearly nervous.
Everyone got comfortable as the movie started. Libby put her head on Sheen's shoulder and held his hand. Jimmy scooted a little closer to Cindy. Carl, well, Carl just sat there.
Two hours later everyone started to yawn as the movie ended. Jimmy grabbed Cindy's hand and helped pull her up.
"So, how much longer until we get to the beach?" Cindy asked while rubbing her eyes.
"It should only be about another twenty minutes," Jimmy said as he sat back down in the pilot's chair. All of a sudden his eyes bugged out as he took a look at the radar. "Cindy, look at this!" he shouted.
Cindy grabbed Jimmy's shoulder to balance herself and took a look on the monitor. A large circle was emanating from Retroville and was quickly enveloping the rest of the map. "Jimmy, what is that?" she asked, her voice wavering a little due to fear.
Jimmy was still focusing on the radar when he shouted, "Time warp!" He quickly punched the glass that was covering a red button. He pushed the button and a bubble appeared around the hover car. "Everybody brace yourselves! And this is not my fault!" he shouted as the strange shockwave hit the hover car and sent it tumbling.
The gang looked around them and was amazed at what they saw. A bird flew by in reverse, slowly at first, but quickly gaining speed. Waves went in the opposite direction and rain flew upward. It was like someone had pressed rewind. A moment later everything stopped.
"Is everybody ok?" Jimmy asked. Everybody mumbled that they were. "Goddard, television monitor mode," he said to his mechanical dog. Goddard's chest flipped up and a screen appeared. "Focus on home in Retroville," he commanded. It looked like the shockwave originated from there. Maybe dad messed with one of my inventions again.
"Jimmy, what the heck is going on?" Cindy shouted, fear taking the backseat to anger.
"Somebody went back in time. What we just saw was the timeline going in reverse. Luckily for us the hover car has a protective force field, which is this bubble," he explained while motioning around him. "That bubble kept us in the present time and will protect us from feeling the consequences of messing with the timeline. Since the shockwave started in Retroville, let's see what's going on there."
Cindy nodded, and everyone else kind of shrugged, hardly understanding anything that Jimmy had just said. Everybody crowded around Jimmy and tried to get a look at Goddard. His monitor showed what was going on in Jimmy's house. They could see a much younger Mr. and Mrs. Neutron. All of a sudden, the modern-day Professor Calamitous burst in.
"So it was Calamitous who went back in time!" Jimmy shouted.
"Jimmy, we've got to head back home and stop him!" Libby exclaimed.
Jimmy shook his head. "We're hours from home. Let's just see what happens," Jimmy said.
Professor Calamitous took out a gun and waved it at the Neutrons. Mr. Neutron tried to jump him, but Calamitous shot him. He then killed Mrs. Neutron execution style.
"Mom, dad," Jimmy whispered. Tears started falling down his cheeks.
"Jimmy, I," Cindy said as she stared at Jimmy. She bent down and hugged him, surprised that he hugged her back. Jimmy rested his head on her shoulder.
Libby, Carl, and Sheen continued watching the monitor in silence. Professor Calamitous went to each of their houses and killed each of their parents. Cindy looked at Goddard's screen just as her parents fell.
Libby started crying and hugged Sheen. Sheen tried to comfort her, but he started to cry too. Carl started tearing up and hung onto Sheen. Jimmy tried to regain himself and comfort Cindy. After a few moments everyone just sat there, the tears starting to stop. Just then the hover car shook again.
They all grabbed onto something and looked over the side of the car. Things started going by in fast motion. Within a few moments their surroundings slowed down and stopped. Jimmy stood up and looked over the side. He saw that the force field surrounding the hover car was still intact. They were back in the present time, but still floating over the ocean.
