Chapter One: Symptoms, part one
Bill Tiffy woke up miserable. He'd been dreaming of her again. He'd dreamt of her every night for the past week. (Who could be be talking about? Keely, perhaps?)
As always, the dream was of a memory. . .and there was something different about it. . .only this time had been a bit further than different.
Flashback
"Phil, I got your message. Where's your racket?" She asked.
He hesitated. "My dad says that our pudinator project will draw alot of attention, and that it'll expose that we're from the future." He closed his eyes. I'm sorry, Keels. "My family has to move."
"But,
but this is crazy. We had all these plans. We were gonna go fishing
this summer and I hate fishing. The only reason I was gonna go was
'cause I thought it might be fun with you." I don't want him
to go.
"So, when are you leaving?"
"Tonight." he said finally.
"Tonight? I hate this, it's not fair! It seems like kids should get a say in whether they move or not!"
"Tell me about it."
"So. You wanna play one lasst game of tennis?" she tossed the ball to him.
He caught it and sighed. "Keely. You know I do. I - I can't, I have to help pack. Bye, Keel."
He hugged her. Kiss her. Before you leave forever!
Kiss him, Keely! Before he leaves forever! She thought.
He turned away and walked off the court. After a few steps he stopped and hurled the tennis ball away with all his strengh. This isn't fair! He winced when the tennis ball crashed a window.
Keely watched him until he was too far away to see. Then she sat down and cried into her lap until no more tears would come.
End Flashback
Bill blinked. The world around him was black and white. He put and hand to the side of his head while he sat up.
"Uh, mom?" he called.
"Do you have to wake the entire house?' his little sister Kim asked sarcastically.
"Kim!" he said. "Does the world seem all, I dunno, black-and-white, to you?"
"Black-and-white?" she asked, raising one eyebrow.
"I'm serious." he said. He leaned back as he started to get dizzy. "I think something's wrong with me."
"Are you ok?" Kim asked, worried. When he didn't answer she frowned. "I'll get mom."
