A/N: Keep in mind that none of the quotes are taken exactly from the episode "Time Release Capsule." It's just certain concepts and ideas from that episode that I use. And keep in mind, whenever you see italics, it means that that's what that certain person is thinking to himself or herself. So keep reading on and remember to submit a review so I know that people are actually interested in reading this.
Phil jumped out of bed immediately screaming, "I LOVE KEELY." Whoa, I got to ease up. Shouldn't get THAT excited. Wait, no, I SHOULD be excited. I DO LOVE HER!
"I LOVE KEELY TESLOW!" He yelled out, not caring who heard him. He was just excited, and even a little nervous, that he was finally going to reveal the truth. He didn't have to keep his secret feelings enclosed any longer.
He got ready in a hurry to meet Keely, but spent enough time to make sure he looked good. He didn't want to end up looking like a total bum when he told her! So after he was ready, he left his room and down the stairs, with a little skip in his walk.
When he went to the kitchen, he saw his dad staring at a piece of paper in awe.
"Dad, what are you looking at?" Phil asked. Then he walked over to see what was so shocking.
"I've seen this before!" said Lloyd. "Your mom and I dug this out once, at a picnic of ours."
Phil stared at the picture of the time-capsule and still didn't see anything that significant about it.
"So? What are you getting at?"
"What I mean is that THIS is our chance! See, if we just leave a note in this capsule for the FUTURE me, telling myself NOT to buy the time machine at the used—
"WHAT? You bought our time machine at a USED time machine place?"
"It had a waterslide!" Lloyd said enthusiastically, "But anyway, if I just leave my future self a note, then I'll never buy the damaged time machine and we wouldn't get stuck here!"
"So, we're going home?"
"Well, not quite. See, if our time machine never broke down, then it would be like we were never here. All our records and memories of this trip would be vanished, poofed, GONE!"
"So that means I won't remember Kee—
Phil paused. He finally realized the truth. If they send the note to the future, then he won't remember her, and she won't remember him. Everything they ever did together would simply be erased from their memories.
Phil knew what he had to do. It was for the best of him and his family. He left his dad alone to write the note. He started walking outside, heading to where he was supposed to meet Keely; the place where he would see her for the very last time.

Keely let out a huge yawn. She just woke up and still felt a little drowsy. But then she realized how important the day was going to be.
"Oh my god!" She screamed enthusiastically, "Today's the day!"
She leaped right out of bed and got ready. She was going to meet Phil near the time-capsule. She grabbed her music box and put it in her purse. It seemed to always make her smile whenever she opened it. She wanted to make somebody in the future do the same.
So as she opened the door and stepped outside her house, sniffing the fresh air and noticing how bright everything seemed today, she thought to herself. I love Phil. Nothing can possibly ruin this day.
