A/N: The last chapter. pouts I'm sad. I hope you guys enjoy the last chapter of "Number Thirteen." I don't own Meet the Robinsons, but I'm definitely gonna buy the DVD on October 23! Onto the chapter…


The three friends slowly looked up at Cornelius Robinson glaring down at them emotionlessly. Everything seemed frozen and they waited on baited breath to see what would happen next.

"Hey, Dad! What's up?" Wilbur moved in front of Lewis blocking him from view.

"I can't believe you did any of this, Wilbur. Actually, I'm kidding, I can. And I can see Lewis," Cornelius raised his eyebrows in Wilbur's direction and Wilbur sheepishly moved aside, revealing Lewis once again.

"I'm just--" Cornelius put a hand to his forehead and massaged his temples. "I'm glad you're back." Cornelius hugged his eldest son with relief. Wilbur had an awkward look on his face but then relaxed and hugged his father back.

"Group hug!" Lela squealed and put her arms around Wilbur and Cornelius.

"Get over here, Lewis, you're part of the family, too!" Wilbur called and Lewis joined in.

The four separated and Lela looked up to her father.

"Daddy, does this mean we're off the hook?" Lela batted her eyelashes towards her father. He put a hand to his chin and seemed to be thinking.

"That's a hard one. No." Cornelius ruffled Lela's hair and turned back to Wilbur.

"Just… don't tell your mother. She'd kill me more than I'm going to punish you two."

Wilbur and Lela groaned. "Save us, Lewis!" Lela wailed.

"Sorry, guys," Lewis walked over to stand next to Cornelius and crossed his arms.

"I'm with myself on this one," he grinned mischievously.

"You betrayed us! How dare you!" Wilbur snapped, but then grinned.

"I'll see you back at the house, you two. Take Lewis home before anything else happens." Cornelius waved and turned to walk away.

"We're dead. Dead, dead, dead," Lela flopped down on the ground and sighed. "But we fixed everything. Again. Now I know why Dad hasn't mass-produced those time machines. Things like this would happen every other day." She laughed and tugged her brother and Lewis to sit down beside her.

"Do you think this will happen again in five years?" Lewis asked, staring at the setting sun blazing golden across the yard.

Wilbur and Lela looked at each other and looked back to Lewis.

"Yes."

Lewis smiled. He couldn't have asked for better friends, a family, or life. Lela reached into her pocket and pulled out the blue velvet box.

"You're going to need this," Lela handed the box to Lewis who tucked it back into his own pocket. That one crystal shared so many memories between the two of them and it would continue to through the many years.

The three sat in silence. They didn't want to part and possibly never see Lewis again. Sure, Lewis was their father, but he seemed so different as a child, so much easier to relate to and have fun with.

"I'm gonna miss this," Lela broke the quiet that had settled amongst them. She smiled reminiscently. "I'm gonna miss you, Lewis."

Lewis grinned as well. He would miss being with Wilbur and Lela, but he would certainly not miss "saving his own future" when his own children had nearly ruined it in the first place.

"You're gonna miss ruining your life, then having to go and get Lewis to fix it?" Wilbur snorted, reading the look on Lewis's face all too well.

"NO!" Lela smacked Wilbur's leg. "I'm going to miss the three of us together. I know you guys are, too." She looked at each of them in turn and pushed herself off the dirty ground.

"We—we have to go…" Lela held out her hand to Lewis, who grabbed it and hauled himself up. Slowly, Wilbur, Lela, and Lewis made their way to the garage and towards the red time machine.

"I'll be driving, thank you very much," Lela hopped into the front seat of the car and smirked playfully at her older brother.

"Fine," he jumped into the back of the time machine with Lewis. "I'd much rather watch you crash the time machine, anyways."

"You're hilarious, really," Lela rolled her eyes at the two boys laughing.

With a jolt, Lela punched in 2007 and stepped on the pedal. Away they flew, higher and higher into the sky. Lewis stared at the Todayland horizon behind him and then glanced at the Robinson mansion which glowed with the setting sun. Just thirty more years and this would be his future, his present. And with a sudden flash, that had all gone.

Now looking around, he now saw the buildings of his current present. They safely landed on the huge lawn behind the Robinson house.

"Well, we're here," Lela said softly.

It had only been a day. It had only taken a day to ruin the future. It had only taken a day to save it. Lewis couldn't believe how much longer it had seemed.

"Goodbye, Lewis," Lela smiled, but then launched herself onto him. She hugged him tight.

"Only fourteen more years and you'll see me again!" Wilbur laughed.

"Oh, I can't wait!" Lewis joked. Wilbur saluted his farewell to Lewis and Lewis returned the favor.

Lela and Wilbur headed back towards the time machine.

"Are you ready for the punishment of your life, Wilbur?" Lela groaned as she leapt into the back seat, letting Wilbur drive this time. Wilbur grinned his signature mischievous grin.

"Oh, I'm always ready."

Lela laughed and the siblings flew off together, waving at Lewis who was growing smaller and smaller by the second.

Lewis watched them fly away. Only fourteen more years to prepare for Wilbur… that was too short. He didn't even know what the future would bring him. But one thing he did know.

"The number thirteen is no longer unlucky."

-THE END-


A/N: I have to admit, the only part I really like about this chapter is the last sentence. But now I can work on my three upcoming one-shots, "I Loved Her First," "I Wonder," and, "Watchin' You." Bye everyone!
