Phil sat on the couch, staring at the TV but not watching it. Next Friday would be great. He was going to take Keely around the world in a hot air balloon. He was going to pack a picnic with foods from foreign countries for them both and surprise Keely with the hot air balloon.

Next Friday came by without hesitation and before Phil knew it Keely was knocking on his fence again. Phil made sure everything was perfect and opened up the gate. Phil could not have been more please with the reaction of Keely. Her eyes got really wide and her smile spread across her entire face.

"PHIL! I've always wanted to go in one of these! How'd you manage…how are we…. when are we…?" Keely stammered with excitement.

They both stepped onto the giant balloon only to find a picnic blanket and basket on the floor. The memory book was right next to the basket open to the page of Phil and Keely last Friday night.

"Oh, that picture came out great, like it was professional!"

Phil could not stop smiling. He could only think of Keely, look at Keely, do things for Keely. But he knew he had to stop. If they got into a relationship, he would crush her heart and she would be scarred for life. He could never do that to her.

The hot air balloon took off into the dark blue night sky. Phil took out the food and they began to eat. Phil was sitting crossed-legged and Keely stretched her legs on top of Phil's legs. As they passed over New York City, Keely told Phil about the Statue of Liberty and how it was a gift from France. Phil said that it didn't exist in the future. Keely wondered why. As soon as they slowly passed over the Eiffel Tower, Keely felt her whole body turn hot. They were over the most romantic city in the world and she was sitting there with her best friend.

"Hey Keel?"

Keely jumped. "Y..yes?"

"I was just wondering if you wanted to go any place particular. I could send this thing anywhere you wanna go."

"Actually, I've always wanted to go to your house in the future!"

Phil was happy to use the virtu-goggles and show Keely his home in 2121. They brought the balloon back to Pickford and went inside Phil's house.

"Mom? Keely and I are going to our house in 2121…Be back later!"

Phil handed Keely the virtu-goggles and he set them for 5 Floating Lane, Phil's old address. Keely was amazed to see that the street actually was floating. Phil pushed a button and a female voice said, "Welcome home, Diffy family." They both stepped inside to see everything the way Phil had left it. Keely looked amazed. The living room was made up of all clear, blue furniture in shapes Keely didn't think existed.

All she could say was, "Wow" over and over again. Phil was pleased that Keely like his house. He showed her to his room, upstairs. His bed was floating and there was a ladder to climb up into it. His dressers were hovering about the floor. The 'theme' of Phil's room was outer space, which Phil said was, "the coolest vacation a family could take." They walked around his house and ended up in a small room with all furniture shaped like clouds. They both took a seat on a cloud together and took a picture. Phil laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Keely looked at Phil with great interest, slightly amused.

"Oh, just the fact that I'm in my old house with my best friend, sitting on a cloud."

They both went into a hug. This was Phil's favorite Friday.
