CHAPTER 14

BACK TO THE PAST

December 12, 2005.

A portal appeared in DJ, Daisy, Missy and Milo's home town of Wakitcha, California on a stretch of road, and out came a speeding Z, on the way to their farm.

"I hope this doesn't mess up the timeline." said Daisy.

"It'll be fine." said DJ. "The time travel in 2021 doesn't seem to have screwed something up."

"Nevertheless..." said Daisy.

At the farm, Bessy and a pregnant Daisy were walking and talking, while a Holstein bull with blue eyes and no horns walked up to them. He was wearing a turquoise shirt, ripped jeans and a necklace with a golden "S" at its tips.

"Hey, Daisy!" he said.

Daisy rolls her eyes and sighs.

"What do you want, Slade?" she asked.

"I was just wondering when you would ditch Milo and give me a chance." said the bull.

"She's not going to ditch Milo, you moron." said the younger DJ behind him as he walked and got I'm between them.

"And what are you?" asked Slade. "The douchebag cockblocker?"

"Oh, that's rich coming from you." said DJ. "And for your information, I'm the guy that says no to snakes trying to bury their dicks in my brother's wife."

"Well... He's an asshole!" said Slade.

"I can't imagine why." said DJ.

"Lane." said Bessy.

DJ sighs.

"I tell you what." he said. "You have about 10 seconds to go find someone single before I feel like beating you to a pulp."

Slade scoffs.

"Fuck you." he said and walked off.

"Thanks, Deej." said Daisy.

"Don't mention it." he said. "Listen, I gotta get to the store and I was wondering if you needed anything."

"I can't really think of anything." said Daisy.

DJ looks at Bessy.

"Mom?" he asked.

"Get me a case of diet cola if there is any." said Bessy.

"Diet cola. Got it!" he said. "Listen, if he bothers you again, just give me a call."

"Will do." said Daisy.

As DJ walked off, they continued to walk.

"He's a good brother." said Daisy.

"He is." said Bessy. "They take after their father."

Meanwhile, with Slade...

"I'm so tired of this..." Slade said to himself. "She should be MINE!"

As he is passing a barn, he hears a voice from an older Daisy.

"I've changed my mind, Slade." she said.

Slade then turns around to see Daisy leaning against Z, facing him with a smile.

"And how many years did it take?" asked Slade as he walked over to her.

"Too long." she said and put her hand on the back of his neck. "Take me, baby."

Slade trembled as she said those words.

"Yes..." said Slade.

Meanwhile back with the Bessy and Daisy of this time, the older DJ walked up to them.

"Mother?" he asked.

"Lane?" asked Bessy. "How'd you get so... old?"

"I'm from the future." said DJ and hugged Bessy. "I love you, mother..." he said and teared up.

"I love you too, sweetheart." said Bessy. "You know I always have."

"You have." said DJ with a smile.

Lightning crackled across the sky. A short time later, Slade and Daisy were up at the dam, lying down and kissing, Slade on top, while she reaches for a knife on her leg. Slade quickly grabbed her wrist and stopped kissing her.

"I KNEW you didn't just come back because you couldn't resist me." said Slade. "This is going to be more fun than I thought!"

"Yeah, not quite." she said and kneed him between the legs, then quickly knocked him on his back.

"AAAGGGHHH!" Slade shouted in pain. "STUPID BITCH!" he shouted, then got back ontop of her and punched her in the chest. He raised his fist again, only to be knocked off her by the force of older DJ's body.

"Ooofff!" said Slade, then got up and broke off a piece of a lever, sharp on one end.

"Come on, you son of a bitch." said DJ as he got a knife from his pants that, with the click of a button, turned into a sword.

"Fun." said Slade, who then tries to hit DJ, to unsurprisingly find himself blocked. "Why did you come after me?"

"That's classified." said DJ.

"Is it?" asked Slade, who then goes for the chest and is blocked again. DJ then pushes him toward the edge and goes for the fatal blow... though, to his shock, is run through by the lever.

"NOOOO!" she screams as she sees Slade pull the lever out of DJ.

She then quickly grabs a loaded gun off her leg pouch and runs at Slade, firing four shots that each hit him. A stubbed Slade then falls down the dam. Daisy then ran over and looked down. No blood, no impact, no body. It worked... She then leaned down, then held DJ, his head in her lap, the two both in tears.

"DJ..." Daisy cried. "Stay with me... Please..."

"Daisy... Daaayz..." DJ said as he held her hand and looked up at her. "You shouldn't mourn me..." he said and coughed. "We'll all be reunited soon..." he said. "You did it..." he said as he passed.

"No..." Daisy cried.

She then noticed the both of them fading away to nothing and smiled.

2052.

On Ben's Hill, DJ was standing, hand rested on his cane as he felt the warm air breeze, eyes closed and smiling. He then heard footsteps in the grass and opened his eyes, then turned around to see Milo.

"What are ya doin' all the way out here, old man?" he asked.

"Just visiting with Ben.. feeling the breeze." said DJ.

Milo smiled.

"Come on." he said. "Let's take a ride."

"Yes sir." said DJ and followed him.
