Inside a small fishing boat in the middle of a lake.

Oh, looks like I caught something! Aha! I knew I would catch this one eventually! All I had to do was sit in this tiny boat for almost five days straight. Anyway, I had just caught Chapter 5 of our story, ready to present it too you all! Also, for the very first time ever, this chapter has a whopping 3000 words! Yeah, you heard me, EXACTLY 3000 WORDS! That's like two small chapters smashed together! Anyway, I'm getting side tracked. Now where was I? Oh Yeah! Before I continue, I think you guys can see where I'm going with this. But in case you didn't... RECAP!

Last time, Danielle walked inside the antique shop and sees a sports almanac, she then gets an idea. She would buy the almanac, take it back to 1912 and use it for winning bets at sports events, in a cheeky attempt to make some money.

Wait... why would she need money anyway? You know what? I'm not going to question it.

Anyway, Sam comes by in the D.E., which Buster sees and remembers it from 1912. After landing, Sam sees the destruction at the courthouse. After some explaining, they found out that they had succeeded, Vinnie and his friends were being sent to the pound instead of Scamp's kids. Sam then tells Scamp to wash off in the pond, to which he reluctantly agreed. After washing off the disguise, he get's caught by the dogcatcher. Meanwhile, Sam discovers the almanac and lectures Danielle on trying to profit from time travel and attempts to dispose of it, but before he could, the dogcatcher's truck drove by with Scamp in the back. They then try to drive after him, but get stuck in traffic, and Buster overhears everything about the time machine. When Scamp arrived at his house instead of the pound, future Danielle camp up to the door and used a device to electronically knock out Scamp.

And that's where we were, so let's continue the story. Wait... I think I caught something else.

*Reels in a bomb with a lit fuse.*

... Ugh... Why does the bad stuff always happen to me... Anyway, enjoy!

... AHH- *BOOM!*

Ready? Sego!

Chapter 5 – Future Home

It was dark, Scamp could only see himself in a dark void. He then heard two voices that came from, everywhere, one of them being familiar. "Danielle, what did you do to him?" Said voice one. "Don't worry, Sam, all I did was put him to sleep." Said Danielle. "Are you sure that's what happened?" Asked Sam. "Well, yeah. How else could he have ended up in this house? We should take our positions before he wakes up." Said Danielle.

He then heard footsteps leaving. Shortly after, he heard a reverse boom, and when it had ended, he jolted awake, breathing heavily. 'Wha?... Was that trip to the future a dream?' Scamp thought to himself.

Not even seconds after, he began to notice somethings are different around the house. He slowly got out of his bed, which looked completely different. Instead of having just Scamp's name on it, the bed also had Angel's name on it too.

Scamp noticed a calendar and saw the year "1914".

He then realized that it wasn't a dream, he was still in the future. "I'm in the future…" Scamp muttered quietly, "Does this mean the time machine is real?" Scamp said to himself. He then heard a voice from upstairs.

"Dad? Dad is that you?" called the voice. Scamp turned towards the sound, alerted. He quietly whimpered, "I gotta get outta here!" Scamp said as he tried leaving. But he was at the front door.

Scamp realized that he wouldn't be able to make it to the back door without being seen, he was done for. But then, he noticed the door under the stairs, normally it would be filled with clutter, but it was worth a shot.

Scamp quickly ran to the door and opened it. To his surprise, it was nearly empty. But he was not about to question it. He quickly moved in and quietly closed the door behind him. Just in time as someone has walked to the bottom of the stairs.

"Dad? Dad is that you?" Called the voice. The was then a scratching sound from the front door. From what Scamp had just heard, he remembered while he was in the ally with Sam and Danielle, he found out he will have a daughter. 'She must be my daughter!' Thought Scamp.

"I'll get it!" Called a voice. She then quickly walked in. Scamp knew who she was. It was future Danielle again. 'I'm seeing her a lot today.' Thought Scamp.

After the door opened, there were some familiar voices. "Grandma! Grandpa! You're home!" Said the daughter. "Hi Angela!" Said Lady. "How was your dinner at Tony's?" Asked Danielle. "It went nicely. But it can never beat the first night I spent with your mother." Said Tramp.

"I was wondering, Grandma? Didn't you say that there was a pup with you, a friend?" Asked Angela

Lady thought for a moment. "Yes, she helped me and your grandpa fall in love." Said Lady.

Tramp then piped into the conversation, "She's was not like other pups, she took down Buster and his gang, alone!"

"Wait what? Really? How?" Asked Angela.

"Well, she angered him by knocking him over, she quickly grabbed some board with wheels and used it to glide along the street. Buster used his car and caught up with her, he was going to ram her, but she duped him by climbing over his car, running to the other end, and jumped back down onto the board which went under his car. She just made Buster and his friends crash into a truck full of manure! I'll admit, I may be the best street dog there ever was, but even I would have a hard time pulling off something like that!" Said Tramp.

"Wow… I wish I've met her." Angela said in astonishment. "I think you'll meet her someday." Said Danielle.

Back to the D.E., Sam and Danielle were still stuck in traffic on the way to Park Ave. "Darn traffic!" Sam said as he banged the wheel in frustration. "I know, we've been stuck in this mess for almost 2 HOURS! I honestly have no idea how much longer I can wait." Said Danielle, feeling almost as impatient as Sam was.

"Scamp, that is old Scamp, usually gets home around now, I hope we're not to late." Said Sam, before he noticed something in the rear-view mirror, he squinted to try and get a closer look. Danielle had caught on to him.

"What is it? What's the matter Sam?" Danielle asked concerned. "For a moment, I thought I saw some strange figure in the rear-view mirror. I thought it was following us… weird." Said Sam.

Lady gazed upon the room and noticed a broken vase. "Is that vase still broken?" Asked Lady. "Well, remember when the repair dog called Auntie a chicken, Auntie threw him out of the house and now we can't get anybody to fix it." Said Angela.

Danielle laughed awkwardly, which slowly turned to groaning. "Ha, ha, heh, heh, oh man… I really have to get rid of that problem… it has caused nothing but trouble."

Scamp was trying to process on what has happened before he ended up in the house. The only thing he could recall before passing out was where future Danielle was at the backdoor of the truck with a strange device.

He then remembered the pair of bright lights emitted from it when it got pointed at his eyes. 'That thing she had, was that what caused me to fall asleep? If so, then why did she do that? And how did I end up inside?' Scamp thought with a bunch of other ignored thoughts going through his head.

Angela looked out a window and saw the D.E. coming into view. "Uh, Auntie? You may wanna look at this." Angela called. Danielle walked over to the window and saw the D.E.

"Sam and I are here already? We should continue with the plan like normal anyway. Remember, we must mimic EVERYTHING from when I went to the future myself! And we can't screw up, NOT EVEN ONCE." Said Danielle. "I really hope it works." She muttered with a hint of concern and worry.

Scamp was confused with what Danielle had said. 'Wait… Sam and Danielle are here!? If so, I really hope they can get me out of here. And what did future Danielle mean by mimic everything?' thought Scamp.

After the D.E. finished parking at the curb across the street from the house, Sam and Danielle jumped out from both sides. Sam then quickly walked over to Danielle.

"Alright Danielle, stay here, okay?" Said Sam. "Wha? Oh come on Sam, I wanna see what has changed in the house!" Danielle begged. "We CAN'T risk you running into your older self. Don't worry, I'll be back after I get Scamp out of the house." Said Sam.

As he ran off toward the Darling residence, Danielle closed the passenger door and walked over to the other side and hopped into the driver's seat. "Well, at least the seats are comfortable…" Danielle said to herself.

Buster arrived at Park Ave. and saw the D.E. "Good, it's in sight. Now I wait…" Buster said to himself as he stealthily walked, looking from a safe distance.

When the future family was out of the room, Scamp quietly opened the door and slowly walked over to the wall and peered into the living room. He saw them chatting, Champ. "Hey Dad, when did you get so small?" Said Camp as he walked past him.

Scamp was stunned. "Dad?" Scamp whispered before quietly stepping into the back room and closed the door, leaving it open just a crack to see outside of the room.

The front door opened again, and another dog stepped in. Scamp immediately recognized her. 'ANGEL!? She looks so… beautiful.' Thought Scamp.

"Hi Mom!" Angela said excitedly. "Hi Angela, I'm home!" Said Angel. Danielle piped in, "How did it go?" Asked Danielle. "Well, something happened in the town square earlier. Couldn't figure it out." Said Angel. "I think I can shed some light on that. Because I saw what happened, twice! Because the me from 1912 was there too. You won't believe what happened!" Danielle said excitedly.

Danielle was still resting in the D.E. driver seat. "Oookay, I'm bored." Danielle said quickly. "I guess I could look around and see what had changed. Couldn't hurt if I do it for just a few minutes." Danielle said as she jumped out of the D.E. and started looking around.

That was a BIG MISTAKE. Because when she was far enough away, Buster peeked around the front of the car to see her. 'Beautiful…' Buster thought with an evil grin. He then climbed into the D.E., placed the sports almanac on the dash board.

While he was doing that, the receipt fell out, but it went unnoticed. Buster then closed the door and slowly flew away. Danielle was totally oblivious to the whole thing and didn't notice that the D.E. was stolen.

"Okay so, it happened at around 4:45 p.m., a board with wheels (Skateboards) chase occurred, Vinnie's friends chased the younger me around the town square, I remembered grabbing a rope from a truck to have a better grip. I remember Scamp, who was disguised, yelled at me to watch out. Thank goodness he did, because I dodged Vinnie's baseball bat. Had he not warned me, then Vinnie probably would've killed me after hitting me. He was aiming for my head after all. After I dodged, I ended up in the middle of the pond and Vinnie was blasting toward me. I then saw that Scamp hooked a fishing rod onto his board. I saw what he was doing, just as he was about to hit me with his bat, I jumped into the pond to avoid him, the fishing rod ran out of line and Vinnie and his goons were sent flying into the courthouse, destroying the entrance. Seeing it happen once was shocking enough, but after seeing it again two years later, it really brings back memories. And that's what happened." Said Danielle, finishing her story.

"Wow, you were just like that other puppy that made Buster crash into a manure truck!" Said Champ astonished. Danielle remembered the manure and despite being grossed out, she started snickering. "It's really disgusting, yet REALLY funny when you think about it." Danielle said laughing.

Scamp listened on. 'Man… the more they bring up Buster crashing into the manure truck, the more I wish I was there to see it happen.' Thought Scamp. Even though he though it was funny, he didn't dare laugh.

Sam was looking through windows and saw Scamp. 'Bingo! Found him!' Sam thought as he raised his fist. "Scamp, Scamp!" Sam loudly whispered as he quietly knocked on the window.

Scamp turned around and saw Sam. He quickly jumped onto the ledge. "Oh Sam, am I glad to see you!" Scamp whispered, feeling scared.

"Go out the front door! I'll meet you there." Said Sam. "But how? I can't reach the doorknob!" Said Scamp. "Well, I saw Champ open the door without using the doorknob, that must mean that…" Sam trailed off after noticing something. "That what?" Asked Scamp. When Sam saw what it was, he ducked.

Scamp quietly jumped from the ledge and walked over to the door, he could still hear the future family in the living room. "I guess it's time for me to make my move." Scamp quietly muttered to himself.

He opened opened the door and slowly snuck away. Eventually, he made it to the front door. Scamp was looking back toward the living room as he walked. Then the front door opened and another dog walked in.

The two of them looked at each other briefly and started to casually walk, but they both immediately stopped, when they processed what just happened.

Scamp and the other dog quickly turned to face each other and made eye contact. Scamp then knew who it was, it was future Scamp!

They both gasped. "I'M OLD!" "I'M YOUNG!" They both say at the same time, and they both fainted. Sam caught the younger Scamp and cushioned his fall.

Everyone in the living room heard it. Sam knew too, and he quickly dragged Scamp out of the house.

When Danielle turned the corner, she saw Scamp lying on the floor, unconscious. She exclaimed as she ran over to him. When Angel saw him, her face turned horrified. "Scamp!" Angel said as she ran up to him.

A short pause followed after everyone crowded around him. Scamp then opened his left eye. "Did it work?" Asked Scamp. "Well, you were listening from, outside right? So, everything we said, was it the exact way you remembered it?" Asked Daniele.

"I think so." Said Scamp. Danielle breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay good! Now we don't have to worry about having a paradox anymore!" Danielle said with glee. "So, now what?" Asked Angel. "Well, we're finished. I guess we just go… do what ever." Said Danielle. She then closed the front door.

While all of this was happening, Buster was landing the D.E. back to where it was. Danielle was still exploring.

Then all of the sudden, Sam ran over to the gate entrance to the house. "Danielle! Danielle! Danielle, come quick! Quick!" Sam quietly called out urgently. Danielle quickly started running over to him.

Buster opened the driver's side door of D.E., laughing evilly. "I have done it! Beautiful!" Buster said as he tried getting out. He banged his head on the frame of the door. "OW! Ugh, I'm gonna be feelin' that in the mornin'." Buster said as he walked away from the D.E., totally unaware that his eyepatch fell off after hitting his head.

Meanwhile, Sam and Danielle were running back to the D.E., Sam carrying Scamp. "He encountered his older self and went into shock, just as I predicted. He'll be fine. Let's get back to 1912, and then I'm gonna DESTROY THE TIME MACHINE!" Sam declared.

That caught Danielle completely off guard. "Wait, DESTROY IT? But what about all that stuff about humanity, where we're going and why?" Asked Danielle confused.

"The risks are just too great, as this incident proves. And I was behaving responsibly. You can imagine the danger if the time machine were to fall into the wrong hands!" Sam said as he opened the passenger door and gently placed Scamp in the seat.

As Sam grabbed some garbage to refuel, he continued. "My only regret is that I'll never get a chance to visit my favourite historical era, 'The Old West'. But time traveling, is just too dangerous! Better that I devote myself to making other inventions…" Said Sam.

"Alright, come on Danielle! We're going home!" Called Sam. "You didn't need to shout, Sam…" Danielle said irritated. Sam looked to his right and saw sitting right next to him. "Oh… you're already sitting there… well okay then. Now, let's get outta here!" Sam said awkwardly before closing the driver's side door.

The D.E. slowly levitated as its wheels folded inward. The it blasted away into the dark and cloudy night sky.
