I'm very mad. I was writing this chapter, and I was almost done, and this stupid error message come up and deletes the whole chapter! I'm ready to throw something right now.

sarafan101- Congrats on being the number 100 reviewer. That's quite an honor. You win… well, I would've said a date with Ricky Ullman, but I don't really know him… Nothing personal, I just don't know him. Anyway, thanks for the support.

Pathos of the Skies- Good job on noticing that I used a band from England for when she was in England. Good job. Thanks for the support... It's much loved.

Something was amiss at the Diffy residence, Phil noticed. He had just finished a two-hour solo game of laser squash, when he noticed that there was no loud shouting coming from the garage, where Lloyd was working on the time machine. That could only mean one thing.

That he was actually making progress on the time machine.

And that meant that they might be able to return to their home time.

Apparently, Pim noticed this too, as she stepped outside to talk to Phil.

"Hey, how come Dad isn't screaming at the time machine?" she asked.

"Apparently he's making progress," Phil reasoned, looking through the window to the garage. Indeed, Lloyd had a look of satisfaction replacing the normal angry countenance.

"So that means we're going home soon?" Pim asked.

"Let's hope so…" There wasn't too much holding Phil back in Pickford now. Except Pickford, maybe.

Pim was the last to sit down for the family meeting. "Well, guys… I've done it. You didn't think I could, but I did. I fixed the time engine."

Cheers and shouts of joy came from Phil and Pim. Barbara smiled.

"We can leave as soon as you guys want to," Lloyd finished. Phil and Pim looked at each other, and they both jumped from their chairs to pack and shrink their belongings. Soon after, Lloyd and Barbara followed to do the same.

When they were all packed, they went outside to the time machine. Phil was the last to enter, as he took one final look at Pickford. It had been a second home to him. Even without Keely, he felt that this place had a hold on him. There was a charm about this town…

Lloyd set in the time and place- the used time-machine lot, 2125. They had been gone four years, and so decided to return four years later, so they didn't age four years in two weeks.

And within minutes, they had arrived back in 2125. The family stepped out of the time machine, and a rather short, stocky, bald man came walking up to him. "Lloyd Diffy?" he asked. Lloyd nodded. "It's about time you've gotten this thing back here! You said you'd be gone two weeks. It's been four years!"

"Well, we hit a little snag… some malfunctions."

"Listen, I'm going to be honest with you… You're overdue in bills. It would save you money to just buy the time machine instead of returning it.

Lloyd was torn. He wasn't sure if they'd ever use the time machine again. Then again, he could save money buy buying the thing. Deciding to go with the latter, he said, "Okay, we'll take it."

After sign here, initial here, date here, initial again, sign again… the Diffys walked out of the dealers officially owning a time machine.

"What's the first thing you're going to do when we get back home?" Barbara asked.

"Study," Phil replied.

"Classic Phil answer," Pim muttered. "The first thing he does when he gets back is study. That's just pathetic.

"For what?" Barbara asked.

"Time-travel license," Phil answered. "What else?"

Okay, that's it for this chapter. Read and review! I actually do read the reviews, I swear!
