CiTyGrL0912- You are simply awesome. I'm loving these fast reviews! Yeah, so obviously Keely meeting Via is the Alternate Universe thing that I was talking about earlier (clears throat Teej). But… it's a minor thing. Anyway, thanks for the support!

inuyashaandkagomefanforev- You're really related to them? Wow. That's pretty cool. But if you really think about it, we're all technically distant cousins of each other. So everybody in the human race is related, if you want to get real technical. Anyway, that's pretty cool though. Really, the only reason I put him was because I figured more people might get offended if I put a certain German dictator. So... anyway, thanks for letting me know that, but I probably won't use any more references to him so you don't have to worry. 'Nuff said.

Phil had been siphoning through the time-traveler's manual for the past two months. He had only come out on rare occasions. He had programmed the hand-scanner to only admit himself, so he wouldn't be disturbed.

The only reasons he came out were so he could eat or drink. The rest of the time, he didn't even have to leave his room or adjoining bathroom. Barbara had grown concerned, but Lloyd dismissed her worry. "He just wants to go back," Lloyd explained. "And you won't stop him from doing it."

Even Pim had taken notice of her brother.

One day, when he had come out, she asked, "Are you okay, Phil? You've been locked up in your room for a long time…"

"I promised Keely I'd visit her again," Phil said, in a perfectly normal tone. "I intend to stand by that."

"It's just that… I don't know, I feel like… I don't know what it's called… but I feel like something's wrong."

"You're worried about me?"

"That's it!" Pim said. "I'm worried."

"Don't worry, Pim," Phil reassured her. "I just need to keep my promise. I don't want to hurt her like that."

"But, by now, she'd be dead, right? And you haven't visited her…"

"But I will. My future self would have visited her by now."

"If you are going to visit her…"

"Which I am."

"But she's died already, and you didn't visit her!"

"Because I don't have my license. But when I get it, then I'll visit her."

"But wouldn't you be changing the future drastically?"

"No," Phil said. "The most that happens is that one of your friends is born without an eyebrow. You can't dramatically effect the future by going only one hundred years back, unless you kill somebody. In order to drastically change the world so we're all living in rock huts, I'd have to go millions of years back. Billions of years."

Pim gave him a confused look. "Whatever. You're the nerd with the time-travel license. I'll trust you."

That was the first time Phil had heard Pim say those words in his life. I'll trust you.

But soon enough, Phil's attempts paid off. The day had arrived for him to take his test.

The rest of the Diffy family waited at home for him to return. Eventually, they heard the front door slide open and let Phil into the house. He delightedly held a regular looking license in his hand. His family congratulated him with cheers and shouts. Pim held up a "Better Luck Next Time" sign, but then looked at it, and realized her mistake. She flipped it around, and it read, "Good Job!"

"Thanks, guys," Phil muttered, as his mom gave him a hug that he tried to squirm out of. "Now… if you'll excuse me."

Phil walked upstairs to pack. When he finished, he looked up Keely's address during the time he'd be visiting her. He scribbled it down, and rushed out to the time machine, promising he'd keep in touch.

Sorry this chapter seems rushed, but it was. I wasn't sure what to do with it, because really, it's a chapter that only tells you that Phil got his license. It did its job, so I'm satisfied. More to come, assuming you guys review, but I'm sure you will, because that's just the kind of people you are!
