Chapter 3

"Darn, I forgot about the pod." Wilbur said, looking at the pod.

"Just what do you think you're doing?" A voice said, Wilbur turned around.

"Carl, what are you doing here?" Wilbur asked the robot.

"Checking up on you, what are you thinking? You can't take her out!" Carl exclaimed.

"Carl, I just wanna bring her out to the world." Wilbur said.

"Yeah, by that you mean you wanna shove her into the time machine and bring her back in time." Carl said.

"Um...so?" Wilbur asked.

"Wilbur, you know you can't do that." Carl said.

"Yes I can, we'll just meet dad and come home." Wilbur said.

"Knowing you it's gonna take longer than that." Carl told Wilbur.

"Yeah well, you can cover for me!" Wilbur said.

"What makes you think i'm going to?" Carl asked.

"Because, you're Carl." Wilbur said.

"...true." Carl mutttered as he put his hand on the pod. "Fine, just hurry up."

"Thanks Carl, I owe ya." Wilbur said.

"How many times have I heard that before?" Carl said.

"Carl, Wilbur, hey!" Amy said once she was activated.

"Come on." Wilbur said, pulling her towards the garage.

"Where are we going?" Amy asked.

"Out." Wilbur said.

"Out where?" Amy asked as Wilbur helped her into the time machine, she looked around in amazement.

"Out of time." Wilbur said as he hopped in himself.

"Huh?" Amy asked in confusion.

"Just wait and see." Wilbur said as he pushed the buttons on the time machine, it rose into the sky and disappeared in a flash.

Amy's eyes adjusted to the atmosphere as the flash cleared, she could see the city looked much older than it was before. Billboards and buildings were all over the place, there were no hovercars but the cars just sped along the sidewalk on wheels.

"Where are we, Wilbur?" Amy asked the boy.

"2007, we're going to meet my dad." Wilbur said.

"But I already knew Cornelius." Amy said.

"Not Cornelius – Lewis." Wilbur said, Amy's head shook in confusion.

"Data not accessible." Amy said.

"Just wait and see." Wilbur said, landing in front of the old Robinson mansion. "That must be Lewis's room."

Wilbur pointed to a window in the distance.

"Come on." Wilbur pulled Amy towards the window, it was high above their heads. "Can you get us up there?"

"Yeah." Amy said, putting Wilbur on her shoulders and extending her legs until it reached the window. Wilbur tapped on the window until he attracted a very surprised Lewis.

"Wilbur!" Lewis said, opening the window. "What are you doing here?!"

"Checking up on my best friend." Wilbur smiled.

"But you didn't need to climb up to my window." Lewis said.

"I didn't climb." Wilbur said, pointing downwards. Lewis looked at Amy.

"Who's that?" Lewis asked in surprise as Wilbur climbed through the window.

"Hi, I'm Amy!" Amy said.

"I'm Lewis, nice to meet you." Lewis held out his hand, but Amy ignored it and climbed in.

"Yeah, she's not too sure how to shake hands." Wilbur said.

"Well that's rude." Lewis said, Amy turned around.

"Excuse me...WHAT?!" She boomed at Lewis, he fell to the ground.

"I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY! DON'T KILL ME!" Lewis said, Amy calmed down.

"Heh, that was an accident, that wasn't supposed to come out." Amy said, looking around his room. "Nice room, it looks like the lab."

"Well, it is the lab in the past." Wilbur told Amy.

"So this must be..." Amy looked at Lewis.

"Little Cornelius, aka, Lewis." Wilbur said.

Lewis smiled before his clock rang suddenly.

"Oh no, I'm gonna be late!" Lewis said, rushing out of the door, Wilbur and Amy followed.

"Where are you going?" Wilbur asked.

"To the science museum." Lewis said, he stopped and held up a picture of a man with crazy white hair. "This is Bert Newton the third, my favorite scientist ever and he's coming to the museum!"

"Woah, hold on, so we're going to see some old guy with wacky hair?" Wilbur asked.

"Speak for yourself." Amy teased him, Wilbur glared at her.

"Well, I'm going to see him, you two can just stay here." Lewis said.

"But we want to come!" Amy said.

"We do?" Wilbur asked her.

"Alright, come on, but you two have to try to keep the fact that you're from the future hidden." Lewis said, looking at Wilbur.

"How hard can it be?" Wilbur asked Lewis as they ran towards the museum.
