Chapter 1: A futuristic crash

The Diffy's backyard was a buzz with activity; they were having a barbeque celebrating living in Pickford for a full year. Pim was using the spray food to make hamburgers and hot dogs; Phil was using the Wizard to decorate the backyard, Lloyd and Barbara were inside getting Curtis ready, and Keely had just come in.

"I'm here, what can I do?" Keely asked

"Sorry Keel, everything is done" Phil said

"Everything?" Keely asked

"Yes Everything! Now shut your trap!" Pim yelled.

Keely gave her a weird look and looked back at Phil.

"I can't believe you guys have lived here for a year now! Time just seems to go so quickly," Keely said.

As soon as Keely said that Phil's mom Barbara came out and said:

"We wouldn't have been here a full year if Lloyd was actually working on the time machine"

"I only used the Virtugoggles a few times to go to the future, no big deal," Lloyd said coming out of the garage.

Keely looked at Phil with a confused expression

"When did your mom find out he was using the virtugoggles?" Keely asked

"She caught him using them once" Phil explained.

Keely nodded her head as if she understood.

"Now that we are all in an understanding point can we eat now?" Pim asked with an attitude.

"Yes we can" Barbara said

They all sat down at the picnic table and began to eat.

"Mmm future burgers are great, and it kinda surprised me because Pim made them" Keely joked.

"Very funny, I'll have you know that I didn't even touch them until now" Pim said with her usual attitude.

As they all ate their hot dogs and burgers a large bit of metal came falling from the sky into the Diffy's backyard. The crash was so loud it must have been louder than the big bang it made Keely drop her burger onto the grass, but it was no surprise to the Diffy's.

"A time machine just crashed into our yard, no big deal Keely" Lloyd said

Everybody looked at him, then at the time machine.

"Wait a minute, a time machine just crashed into our yard that is a big deal, there are people here from the future!" Lloyd said.

All the Diffy's and Keely got up and walked over to the Time machine, who was in their and what time they came from they had no idea but they knew that it was now that they would find out who was in there.

The door to the time machine opened and out came an old man and a young woman.

"Hi, we are from the future do you understand?" the man said slowly to the Diffy's

"Yes we understand we are from the future too." Pim said

"That's great" the woman said

"Look's like your stuck here like us" Lloyd said

"What do you mean?" the woman asked

"Your time machine broke" Lloyd said

"Oh this old thing we brought an extra one we came her to crash it so we could use the other one" the woman explained

"Oh" Everybody said

"But since we are here and you are from the future I guess we could stay here for a few days and then bring you back to the year 2121, if that is your time period" the woman said

"Yes that is our time period thank you so much you don't know how much this means to us!" Lloyd said.

"Well than we will get the kids out of the time machine." The woman said as she turned towards the time machine and said "Carl, Madison, Tess get out here"

A boy and girl about Phil's age came out first and a girl about Pim's age came out next.

"Madison!" Phil said running over to the girl and hugging her.

Keely watched them in envy wondering what was going on.
