AN: Wow. I have so much to say! I'm SO sorry I've been taking so long…I had a bad case of writer's block, then the ideas FINALLY started flowing again. Plus I was distracted by my other fics for a while there. I just finished Tell Me Truly- please go and give it a look!

Chapter 9

"Okay, listen up: this is the first trip through- so I don't know how bumpy-"

"Blah-blah-blabbity blah!" Cindy babbled. "Nerdtron, we already know that any of your little adventures means risking life and limb- get over yourself."

Jimmy glared at her before turning back toward the front of the hover car.

"Future, here we cooome!" Carl sang happily, as he climbed into the back of the hovercar, "and anyyyyone…can see that it's going to be-" Cindy threw a half-glare to Carl, who gulped. "Er… Nevermind?"

Libby set a hand on Cindy's shoulder, with a grin, before climbing in to sit beside Sheen. "Try not to kill any one, girl."

Cindy turned toward Jimmy once again, who had taken the drivers' seat, an scowled at the only empty seat: beside him. "I promise nothing." She whispered to herself, before settling in.

"Here we go." Jimmy said, pressing a few buttons. "Everyone all set?"

"Yea." Libby confirmed, settling her headphones over her head.

"Yeah." Carl said, patting his inhaler.

"Oh, yeah." Sheen said, wiggling his eyebrows in the direction of Libby, who rolled her eyes.

"Bark!" Goddard replied to his master, settling into his ready-made attachment portal behind the back seat.

"Let's get on with it, already, Whippy-dip-head- I want to see my superior future."

"Oh, we'll see your future." He muttered.

With a press of the button, they were gone. Or so it seemed. As the lab cameras rolled, the Hovercar carrying the group was hurdling through the time path, invisible to the years they passed.

"Jimmy!" Carl called from the back, inhaler ready, "We're going awfully faaaaaast!"

Jimmy struggled to answer, as the G force continued to increase. "I said it might be bumpy-"

Cindy withdrew her hand from in front of her mouth just long enough to indict: "But you never said it was going to be nauseating!"

Jimmy, in spite of the bubbling of stomach juices within his throat, managed to give her an angry look. "If I might have been given a chance to fully brief you of-"

"Oh," Cindy cried, rolling her eyes (Which turned out to increase her nausea) "Just STOW IT ALREADY!"

Goddard, feeling the bolts rattling within him, shut off his G-meter, and settled down, now impervious to the nausea the others were obligated to endure.

Meanwhile, Sheen was laughing manically. "WOO-HOO!" He shouted, hands in the air. "Pump up the gas! Turn it up! YEAHHHH!"

Libby, crouched over, in order to hold in the banging of vomit on her mouth's door, managed to shake her head in disbelief at Sheen's happiness.

"Almost-" Jimmy gasped, tightening his grip on the controls, "There-"

The years buzzed by, swirls of color enveloping them like a shaken up bottle of paint. Then it ended, brought to a screeching halt by a flick of a switch, dropping them off into darkness. For a few seconds, it was quiet, as they all attempted to bring their stomachs back to the position it was designed to occupy, instead of their feet. Then-

"I am SO driving on the way back!" Cindy glowered.

"It wasn't my driving, Dorktex- it was the time travel. I couldn't help it."

"Whatever." Cindy said, climbing out of the Hovercar. The others followed suit- or attempted to, in the dark.

"OW!" Sheen said, as he tripped and fell out of the vehicle.

"Oops." Carl said, stepping on something strange on his way out.

"My foot!" Libby said, feeling someone step on her.

Jimmy felt around the Hovercar, until he reached Goddard. "Just a second, boy-" He said, as he unlatched the safety clips. "There you go."

Goddard, directed by infrared, managed to disembark his position gracefully.

"Wow." Cindy said, sarcastically, with her hand on her hip, (although no one could see her) "This is exciting."

Jimmy rolled his eyes (although no one could see him) and turned to the direction which he assumed Goddard to be. "Goddard- a little light, please?"

Goddard, always willing to oblige, trotted over to where his master had hoped him to be and opened up his hatch to reveal a momentarily blinding light. When their eyes had adjusted, they looked around in amazement.

"Hey, Jimmy!" Sheen laughed, "I like what you did with the place."

Toys were scattered everywhere. From Tickle-Me-Elmo (version 8.4) ™, to Hover-Racing X-Treme ®, what seemed like hundreds of toys filled the area. Libby, being closest to the wall, flipped on the light.

"I-" Jimmy gulped in amazement. "I don't understand! This is…well…was my lab! What happened?"

Cindy, unable to contain herself any longer, laughed manically. "I think I know, Daddy Nerdtron! Who's the unlucky lady?"

Jimmy turned a bit paler. "I have…progeny?"

Sheen rolled his eyes and set a hand on Jimmy's shoulder. "Noooo! You have kids, Jimmy."

"Lot's of 'em, by the look of it." Libby commented, helpfully.

"But-" Jimmy said, unbelieving, "I don't want kids…"

"Tough cookies." Cindy laughed. "You're stuck with 'em now!"

"Not exactly. This-" Jimmy said, determinedly, "Is defiantly a scenario I plan to avoid."

"You don't like kids?" Carl asked.

Jimmy wrinkled his nose. "They're fine, I suppose- as a matter of fact, Carl, we are kids. But…I'm only supposed to be twenty-six! I would have hoped to have set my sights on different things at this point in my life…" His voice trailed off.

Sheen, who had disappeared for a moment, arose from a pile of toys in the corner, victoriously holding a Ultra Lord figurine.

"Well, you're raisin' 'em right, Jimmy!"

They turned to look at him, as he examined the toy with glee. "A new utility belt! Retractable rockets!" As he discovered and announced each feature, his excitement grew. Soon he was babbling to himself, eye twitching. "And look at the multi-dimensional ray wrist device!"

Carl turned to Jimmy. "Um, yeah…this is real exciting, Jim, but…" He leaned in closer to his friend. "I need to find a bathroom real soon."

Jimmy nodded quickly. "Let's get out of here."

They walked over to the steps, where Jimmy caught sight of a height measurement on the wall. Looking at it, Cindy smiled. "Your kids are taller than you!"

He glowered at her. "I'm not done growing yet, Vortex. I most likely turn out quite tall." He said, proudly.

"Wait a minute." Cindy said. "This isn't right."

"What?"

"Look at the age next to this entry!"

Jimmy looked, and gasped.

"What?" Sheen asked, pushing his way past the two to get to the measurement. He hated not knowing what was going on.

"The age is eleven!"

"Aaaand?" Sheen prompted.

"That means," Cindy said, to shocked to reply sarcastically, "That Jimmy had a kid at-"

Jimmy's voice squeaked as he finished where Cindy left off. "…Fifteen!"

AN: Yes, I know: cliffhanger. But, please, don't hurt me! I'm just a lonely writer, looking for attention! Please reveiw! (lol)
