Chapter Two: Erik the Fightin' Time Commando!

"I shall finally do a good deed for all of humanity!" Erik announced. "Then maybe you'll all get off my back."

"What do you have planned, Professor?" Megan asked sarcastically.

"I presently shall travel back in time and KILL ADOLF HITLER, thereby saving millions of lives!"

From nowhere, a fanfare sounded.

"That's a pretty lofty goal," said Megan in her mildest voice.

"Bid me farewell, young phan." Erik continued obliviously.

"Um, farewell. . ." said Megan

"EAT THIS!" Erik shouted, and he swooped away dramatically to Megan's garage.

"What does he think he'll find down there?" Richard asked curiously.

"I'm not sure," said Megan, "but if he's looking for Nazis, he'll probably be disappointed. We did just clean the place last week."

A few hours later, Megan and Richard were playing pachisi when Erik entered, looking defeated.

"Aw, poor baby, what's the matter?" Megan asked in a wheedling voice.

"YOU THREW OUT YOUR FLUX CAPACITOR!" Erik shouted.

"If you really want to help humanity, you could get me a glass of wine." said Richard.
