I'm back! Sorry about the wait. It has been a busy and stressful week for me. Thanks for the great reviews. This chapter isn't quite has good as the past chapter. It's mostly dialogue. I have discovered that it's really hard to write Curtis so he only has a couple lines.

Chapter 2

"Phil! What are you still doing here?" Keely asks as Phil's frown turns into a smile; the smile that he only reserved for Keely.

Phil gets up and hugs Keely. "We forgot Curtis. We had to come back." Phil answers has he reluctantly lets go if the embrace.

"Oh" was all Keely could say before she was interrupted by Phil's dad who had been standing there with his wife, Barb, Pim and Curtis during the whole scene. "Phil, you already said your goodbyes. We've got Curtis so we got to leave now."

"Thank God! I'm outta here!" screams Pim as she rushes to the door followed by her parents and Curtis.

"I'm not going." Phil says boldly.

"Excuse me?" questions Lloyd.

"You heard me. I'm not going. I like it here. And I'm not leaving Keely. I love her and a hundred years is not going to separate us."

"You do?" Keely says softly but still shocked.

"I do." Phil smiles and intertwines his hand in hers.

Barbara is crying by this point. "Oh, it's so beautiful!" She walks over and give Phil and Keely a big hug.

"Hold the phone! This calls for a family meeting! Everyone in the living room!" Lloyd uses his arms like air traffic control.

"What! This is ridiculous! My perfect brother says he loves Blondie and automatically we're having a family meeting." Pim waves her arms around angrily. "Well, count me out. I'll be in the time machine while you tell Phil that we can't stay here."

"Curtis go with Pim. No want to be forgotten again." Curtis grunts

"Curtis, how many times do I have to say I'm sorry." Lloyd apologizes frustrated. "And Pim, you are coming to the meeting whether you want to or not."

The Diffys just stared at Lloyd for a minute. "Honey, it's not like you to be so firm with the kids." Barb finally breaks the silence.

"I've been through a lot today! Just leave me alone!" Lloyd shouts. "Now, everyone in the living room!"

"Yes, sir" Pim whimpers as they all hurry into to living to take a seat. Phil and Keely are on the love seat while Pim, Barb and Curtis take seats on the couch. Lloyd just stands to lead the meeting.

"Okay, I want every one to raise their hands if they want us to stay here in the present." Lloyd states and everyone but Pim raises their hands.

"Ratsnacks! A girl can't win." Pim complains.

"Lloyd, as much as I want to stay, I want both of our children happy." Barb reasons.

"Well, that settles it. I'm not happy so let's get out of here." Pim jumps up but Barb pulls her back down immediately.

"Here's what I suggest," starts Barb. We stay here until Phil graduates so that he'll have two years with Keely to see what happens. And then when he graduates, wewillreturn home. Who knows, Pim, by that time you may not want to return to the future."

Pim starts laughing hysterically. "That's hilarious, mom. But I gotta admit, this century is a prankster's paradise. Deal.

"Yes!" Phil exclaims as he leaps over and hugs Pim.

"Ugh! Get off me! Love makes you act weirder than usual." Pim shakes Phil off of her as Phil smiles over at Keely.

"Let's start unpacking." Lloyd suggests as he walks out of the room followed by Barb and Pim.

"Me go tell my squirrel friend that me staying." Curtis grunts as he left leaving Phil and Keely alone.

Phil starts to walk toward the door but Keely grabs his hand. "I love you too."

Phil smiled, "I always hoped you did" He gave Keely a passionate kiss. "I better get out there before Pim steals my stuff," Phil says still slightly distracted from the kiss.

Phil walked out the door while Keely just watched him smiling. Once he was gone, she looked up and sighed, "Thank you, God."

The End

Probably not the best way for them to stay but I still wanted the angst of Phil and Keely's time being limited. I'm working on a sequel to this right now. It will be a lot longer than this story and will follow their junior year. I'm not making any promises to when it will be up because life happens. Just keep your eyes open.
