Ready? Sego!

A Danielle Through Time Part II

Chapter 1 – The Future

In three bright flashes, the flying D.E. appeared at the third flash. Sam, Danielle and Scamp arrived on a stormy day after jumping into the future.

Danielle and Scamp looked around in astonishment. "Okay Sam, what's going on huh? Where are we? When are we?" Asked Danielle.

Sam, who was not taking his eyes off on the sky, said. "We're descending toward our home town," Sam then looked at the time circuits and continued, "At 4:29 PM. On March 3rd, 1914." Sam said as he ran his finger along the present time.

"1914? You mean we're in the future?" Said Danielle. Scamp had no idea what was going on around him and had a bunch of questions in his head and started asking.

"The future? Danielle, what do you mean? How could we be in the future?" Asked Scamp, who was very confused.

Danielle remembered that Scamp didn't know about Sam's time machine and she decided to tell him. "Uh, Scamp? Um, I don't know how to tell you this but…" Danielle finished after a short pause. "You're in a time machine." Danielle chuckled as she finished.

Scamp turned his head back to the windshield in surprise. "And this is the year 1914?" Scamp said in astonishment.

Sam then corrected him. "March 3rd, 1914." Said Sam. "Wow, it's like you weren't kidding!" Said Scamp. He then turned to Danielle, "Danielle, we can actually see our future!" Scamp then turned to Sam.

"Sam, now you said that Angel and I had puppies right?" Scamp quickly asked. Sam then started stuttering, not knowing what to say.

"If we did have puppies, then that means… Angel does love me!" Said Scamp, hopping excitedly. "Well, looks like someone's got the hots for her!" Said Danielle.

"You know Danielle, I would have told you to 'shut up', but I don't care. Because, ANGEL LOVES ME!" Scamp said, lovestruck.

Scamp was feeling lightheaded and he nearly fainted. But he regained himself quickly.

Danielle rolled her eyes, then a thought came into her head. "Hold on Sam, if we're in 1914, and the D.E. is flying, then does that mean that there are flying cars in 1914?" Asked Danielle.

"I wish…" Sam said gloomy. "Then how is the D.E. flying?" Danielle asked confused.

"Well, you see Danielle. When I drove off to the future after dropping you off, I arrived in a very different place. I checked the time circuits to find out that I accidentally typed in the wrong year. The year was 2350, and there was a lot of lights, flying cars and robotic workers. While I was there, I decided to upgrade the time machine, it doesn't run on my batteries anymore, instead, it runs on something else, something that's easy to get." Explained Sam.

"What does it run on?" asked Danielle. "It runs on garbage!" Sam informed. Danielle and Scamp silently stared at him. "Yeah, you heard me… Actual garbage. It may be gross, but hey if it works, it works…" Said Sam.

"At least I don't have to worry about getting stuck in 1911 again…" Said Danielle. "Again?" Scamp asked confused. "I'll tell you about it later." Said Danielle.

"Anyway, along with giving the flux capacitor and time circuits a new power source, I also gave the D.E. a set of flying circuits and does what the D.E. is doing now, flying." Said Sam.

He then continued. "After I upgraded the time machine, I went back in time to 1914, and found out about an event, regarding your future family Scamp." Said Sam.

"Wait, wait. Regarding MY future family? Well, what happened?" Asked Scamp.

"I'll get to that later, because its time for us to land!" Sam announced as he turned the wheel.

The D.E. flew down towards the town square and lowered into an ally. After it slowly landed on the ground, Sam opened the door. "Alright, first we need to get out of the car." Said Sam.

Scamp complained "But right now? It's pouring rain!" Sam looked up at the sky and back to his watch. "Wait five more seconds…" Said Sam.

When the five seconds passed the rain slowly stopped. When it did, Sam stepped out of the D.E. "Right on the tick, amazing, absolutely amazing…" Sam said with wonder.

The passenger side door opened, Danielle and Scamp jumped out. As they looked around, Danielle had a thought. "You know, for two years, nothing has really changed that much." Said Danielle.

"Well it was literally just two years. I mean… come on, how much CAN the town change in two years?" Said Sam. "Huh, yeah… good point." Said Danielle.

Scamp looked toward the exit into the town square. "The future… unbelievable… We gotta check this out Sam!" Said Scamp, who really wanted to explore the place.

Sam forgot that they would want to look around, but they hade no time to. "All in good time Scamp! We're on a tight schedule here." Said Sam.

"Why would the schedule be tight when you have all the time you want? We have a time machine!" Said Danielle.

"You may have heard that there are some good things, but it can turn bad when you use it too often. Like for example… It's good to have exercise on your walks, but it can also be bad if you do it too often." Explained Sam.

"But look, tell me about my future, I know I'd make it big, what do I like become part of a beauty pageant team with my sisters." Danielle said dreamy.

"My sisters as a beauty pageant team? More like a few pups in girly girl make up." Scamp teased. "I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that." Danielle said irritated. "Well you responded to me so, you clearly did!" Scamp said while smirking.

Even though Sam wanted to get them on the right topic, he couldn't help but laughing. "Sam it's not funny!" Said Danielle, who was feeling annoyed.

When Sam stopped laughing after a moment, he went back to what he was going to say. "Look, I'd tell you about your future, but no one's supposed to know too much about their own destiny." Sam with a serious tone.

"Okay… I am a pageant pup right?" Asked Danielle. Sam sighed, "Danielle, please… Anyway, we need to change Scamp's appearance. Make sure he looks like this." Sam said as he handed a picture to Danielle.

"Uh, why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Asked Scamp. In the picture, there was a pup that looked like Scamp, except he had a different coloured nose and had tan coloured ears and paws.

'Okay, so I have to get Scamp to look like this.' Danielle thought as she looked at the picture. She looked up at Sam with an answer. "Okay, I got it… So, how am I going to do this?" Asked Danielle.

"With these, obviously!" Sam said as he pulled out two metallic buckets. Danielle looked at the labels and saw that they were dyes. "Ohhh! I get it now!" Danielle said with realization.

"Alright Danielle, you know how to do it now, right?" Asked Sam. "Yup!" Danielle said as she started opening the lids.

Sam then grabbed a pair of binoculars. "Got a mission to accomplish!" Sam said before he started running towards the opposite end of the ally.

Danielle finished opening the lids off the buckets. "Hey Scamp! Come over here!" Danielle said happily. Scamp walked over and saw the dyes. "Uh… what are we doing?" Scamp asked with concern.

"Oh nothing, just giving you a… disguise? I think…" Said Danielle. "Is this like a bath?" Scamp asked suspiciously. Danielle would have told him that it was, but knowing that he hates baths, she would have to say no, just to make things easier.

"Well… no." Danielle said hesitantly. "Okay. BUT! IF YOU'RE LYING!" Scamp said before Danielle cut him off, "I'm not. Anyway, I need one of your ears." Said Danielle.

Scamp hesitated, then he leaned his left ear towards her. "try not to squirm okay." Danielle said as she gently grabbed Scamp's ear and moved it towards the bucket of tan dye.

Sam had arrived at the back end of the ally and looked through the binoculars. He saw the same pup from the picture walking along the sidewalk. "Aha. Precisely on schedule!" Sam breathed.

Back at the D.E., Danielle had finished dyeing Scamp's ears. "Alright, now for your paws. I'm pretty sure you can do the front ones yourself, right?" Danielle said excitedly. "I think I can." Scamp said as he looked down into the dye.

He slowly dipped his right paw into it and slowly moved it down. "Okay, stop, stop!" Danielle exclaimed. He quickly took out his paw. "What, what, what?" Scamp said alarmed. "Your front right paw is done." Danielle said happily.

Scamp stared at her dumbfounded. "Please, don't do that again! You had me worried for a second." Said Scamp. "Okay I won't." Said Danielle. She then started snickering. "Danielle I'm serious."

"Ugh… Fine… I won't" Danielle said irritated. "Thank you." Scamp said as he slowly dipped his left paw into the dye. "Aaannnddd, stop!" Said Danielle. Scamp took out his paw. "Alright, now we have to get your back paws. But, this might be a little harder to do." Said Danielle.

"I think I got that covered." Said Sam as he knelt down next to them. Sam then picked up Scamp and dipped his hind paws into the dye and took them back out. "Okay, now Scamp, dip your nose into this brown dye." Sam said as he gently placed Scamp back down.

Scamp walked over to the other bucket as Sam took the bucket of tan dye and placed it back in the D.E.

"By the way Scamp, you might not want to breath through your nose." Said Danielle. "You don't need to tell me, I know." Said Scamp. He then dipped his nose in and raised it back out.

Sam looked at him for a few seconds. "Perfect! You're the splitting image of your future son." Breathed Sam.

"What?" Scamp said stunned. "Okay Sam, now what?" Asked Danielle. "In exactly two minutes, you and Scamp will go around the corner into the newly opened doggie diner." Said Sam. "Doggie diner?" Asked Scamp.

"It's a café built specifically for dogs. Remember that boarded up building that we see on some of our walks? Yeah apparently it will get turned into the doggie diner at the beginning of 1913." Said Sam.

"Oh, okay. So, what are we gonna do there?" Asked Danielle. "When you get there, Scamp, you wait for a dog named Vinnie, Buster's grandson." Said Sam. "Woah, woah, woah!... Buster is going to have a grandson?" Asked Danielle.

"Yes, I literally just said it… Anyway, Scamp, Vinnie is going to ask you about tonight, are you in or out? Tell him you are OUT. Whatever he says, whatever happens, say 'no, you're not interested.' And leave, come back here and wait for me." Said Sam.

"Okay, but what do I do?" Asked Danielle. "You stay back and try not to intervene. You can as a last resort if things were to go wrong." Said Sam.

"Don't talk to anyone, don't touch anything, don't do anything, don't interact with anyone and try not to look at anything." Sam said urgently.

"I-… I don't get it, I thought you said this had something to do with my kids." Said Scamp, confused.

"Look what happens to your son!" Sam said as he pulled out a newspaper and showed them the front page. "My son?" Scamp said quietly as he looked at the picture.

In the picture it showed a young pup who looked just like the disguised Scamp, getting hauled into the back of the dog catcher's truck.

"Wow, he looks just like you." Said Danielle. Scamp then began reading. "Within two hours of his arrest, Champ was tried and convicted 5 months in the dog pound. Within two hours?" Asked Scamp.

"The justice system for dogs works swiftly in the future now that they've implemented it." Said Sam. "Oh this is heavy." Exclaimed Danielle. "Oh it gets worse! Next week, your daughter attempts to break him out of the pound and she gets sent up for 7 months!" Said Sam.

It took a moment for Scamp to process what Sam had said. "Wai-… My daughter? Wait a minute I have a daughter?" Asked Scamp.

"You see, this one event starts a chain reaction that completely destroys your entire family!" Said Sam.

Danielle exhaled loudly, before she saw something on the paper. "Hey Sam, this date… Hey wai- this is tomorrow's newspaper!" Danielle said as she pointed it out.

"Precisely! I already went further ahead into time to see what else happens. I back tracked everything to this one event, that's why we're here today. It's to prevent this incident from ever happening!" Sam said as his watch ringed quietly. He checked it and expression changed.

"Gah! I'm late!" Sam exclaimed as he took the news paper and grabbed the other bucket of dye. "Wait a minute, where are you going now?" Danielle asked confused.

"I rented these buckets of dye and I have to return them, in the mean time, you have to take Champ's place around the corner in the doggie diner, the dog named Vinnie, JUST SAY NO." Said Sam.

"So, how long will you be?" Asked Danielle. "Don't worry, I won't be gone for very long, it' just be for a few minutes." Sam said as he sat in the driver's seat in the D.E., he then remembered something he forgot to tell them.

"Oh, be careful around that Vinnie character, he can be a little unpredictable." Warned Sam. He then closed the door and got ready to fly.

Danielle and Scamp looked at each other and turned their heads toward the town square. and slowly started walking.
