The Time Machine
" Jade im so glad you're here come on in you have got to see my new invention" Robbie says excitedly.
" This better be good Rob im missing the Twilight Zone marathon for this" I said
" Oh this is way better than the Twilight Zone" Robbie says
" I'll be the judge of that" I said
Robbie led me out to his garage where he had something hidden under a blanket sitting in the middle of it.
" What the hell is this thing ?" I asked
" Glad you asked Jade this is my new invention" he says unveiling it " It's a time machine"
" Seriously a time machine goodbye Robbie" I said heading for the door
" No Jade don't leave it seriously works come on get in" he says
" You really expect me to get in that ? you're out of your fucking mind Robbie " I said
" Come on Jade dont you want to know what your future holds?" He asked
" No not really " I said
" I'll give you 50 bucks " Robbie says
" Make it 100 and we've got a deal" I said
" Fine " he says handing me the money " Now sit down here and I'll start it up"
I sit down in the contraption and silently prayed that i wouldn't be blown up as the motor started.
" Alright now i'll just set this up and then off you'll go" Robbie says excitedly
" Robbie im starting to have second thoughts about this " I said
" Too late I already paid ya now what year would you like to go to" Robbie asks
" Uhhh 2025" I said
" Alright 2010 to 2025 alright you're all set tell me all about it when you get back" He said turning the machine up to full speed.
It shook so bad I thought it was going to explode but I didn't have time to worry about that because a white light surrounded me and I was shooting down a colorful tunnel and then everything went I awoke I was in bed under black satin sheets with a black and red comforter this was definitely my room I looked around and there wasn't a strange thing in sight and no horror movie and rock posters on the wall just black chester drawers and a flat screen mounted on the wall. The sudden sound of a shower turning off snapped me out of my trance and made me look towards the bathroom connected to the room and when the door opened the sight alone could have made my heart stop.
" Good morning sunshine"
" Vega?!" I said looking at the brunette clad only in a towel and I must say she looked damn good in it
" That's Me" Tori says
" What are you doing here Vega?" I asked
" Umm did you forget I live here with you and this is our home" She says
" Our home ? so you're my girlfriend?" I asked
Tori lets out a loud laugh and says " Yea Jade 15 years ago im so much more than that now im your wife and ive been that for the past 10 years Jade you've been working too hard you're acting really wonky" Tori says
" My Wife ? for 10 years? How the hell did you get me to do that Vega I've always been anti-marriage" I asked
Tori gave me a weird look and said " Well your not anymore matter of fact it was you who proposed to me dont you remember?" Tori asked
" Umm I think im having a temporary mind lapse you might want to refresh my memory" I said with my signature smirk
" Well since your obviously suffering from amnesia all of a sudden I guess I'll tell you It was our 5 year anniversary you took me out to my favorite restaurant and you were super nervous I got up for a moment to go to the ladies room and when I came back every one in the restaurant was down on one knee including you and then you pulled out the ring and proposed that was one of the greatest moments of my life" Tori says with a smile
" That's some romantic shit " I said
Tori laughs and says " Yea it is but those are the kind of things you do for me and that's why I love you so much."
I smiled and leaned in to kiss her but before I could a light flashed and i was sucked back into the fluorescent lights and ended up back in Robbie's garage.
" What the fuck Robbie?" I asked
" Sorry Jade you were there over 30 minutes and I didn't want to risk you getting stuck there" Robbie says.
" Trust me I wouldn't have minded" I said
" Did you get the future you wanted ?" he asked
" I think I did I gotta go Rob" I said racing out of his garage to my car.
I had to go right a wrong if my future was going to come true. I pulled up in front of Vega's house and jumped out and raced to her front door and knocked and when the door opened Vega stood there clad in winnie the pooh pjs and her glasses.
" Jade what are you doing here?" She asked
" This" I said grabbing her face and kissing her with everything I had in me.
You see two weeks ago Tori told me she was in love with me and I was still afraid to admit my feelings so I've been avoiding her but thanks to Robbie's time machine I realized that I want my future to come true and I want to spend the rest of my life making Vega happy.
When the kiss ended Tori looked at me in complete surprise and I said.
" I love you too Vega"
2025
I woke up in bed and the sound of the shower turning off snapped me out of my tiredness .
" Good morning sunshine" Tori says
" Good morning Beautiful" I said to my wife of 10 years
" How are you feeling this morning?" Tori asked
" Great I have something for you" I said reaching into the drawer and pulling out a small box
" Oh yea what is it?" She asked
" Happy Anniversary Tori" I said pulling out a small locket
" Omg Jade it's beautiful Happy Anniversary my love" Tori says
" Open it" I said
Inside of the locket was a picture of us the night i proposed 10 years ago.
" I love it Jade and I love you" She says kissing me
" So where's my present Vega ?" I asked
" Come on and keep your eyes closed" she asked
" Alright" I said
I heard the door to the garage open and felt Tori pulling me outside.
" Are you ready ?" Tori says
" As I'll ever be" I said
When I opened my eyes I was in complete shock Tori had got me the 1971 remodeled Dodge Challenger from Vanishing Point signed By Barry Newman himself.
" Oh my god Tori I love it thank you thank you thank you" I said kissing her all over her face.
" Your welcome wanna take it for a test drive " She says
I grabbed the keys and Tori and I hopped in taking off down the Hollywood Hills Im going to have to seriously thank Robbie one of these days.
