Hey guys!
Soooo sorry about the long wait, I have to say, I was stalling, procrastinating, basically not wanting to write this chapter for some reason or another! I feel so guilty about making you guys wait, really.
I am also sorry if this chapter if small/short, or rushed. This chapter isn't that important to the plotline, but the rest will be long:) Promise!
Chapter 5. The 'rampaging' dinosaur.
They entered 2007 in a matter of minutes, Wilbur quickly turned on invisibility and steared the time machine over some parts of the outskitys of the city, Lewis looked out the side, looking for any signs of the dinosaur.
After about ten minutes of driving and looking over green hills, to no anvil I might add, Lewis reached out and grabbed Wilburs arm to tell him something.
Wilbur reeled and gasped suddenly and threw Lewis's hand off his arm. "Don't!"
"Wilbur...?" Lewis asked, raising an eyebrow at Wilburs red skin.
"Don't you say anything." Wilbur muttered through gritted teeth as he rubbed his bright red, sunburned arm.
Lewis pointed. "Head to the city. Remember, Tiny's at the city. Not in a bunch of hills."
Wilbur nodded and turned the Time Machine around and steered it towards the city that lay a way ahead of them.
They swerved through building after building for what seemed like forever, the city was bigger then it looked from afar, and they had still not found Tiny.
"How can we not see him?" Wilbur cried out in annoyence after at least eight minutes. "He's bright orange and a dinosaur, for petes sake!"
"Wilbur, patience.." Lewis murmured to him, looking out the side of the Time Machine.
"Don't tell me patience, Lewis!" Wilbur said, turning past a building. "I don't need you acting like mom, telling me patience constantly, like when I was learning to play chargeball."
"Patience would help you alot, Wilbur," said Lewis, looking up at him. "as would many other things."
Wilbur shot him a glare. "Whats that supposed to mea-"
"Look out!"
Wilbur quickly turned back around and gave a yelp as he steered the Time Machine away, nearly colliding with the building in front of them.
"Wilbur!" Exclaimed Lewis as he clutched his chest, over his heart. "Watch where you're going!"
"I was talking to you!"
"You can watch where you're going when you talk to - Tiny!"
Wilbur looked around at Lewis again, raising an eyebrow. "I can watch where I'm going when I am talking to Tiny?"
Lewis was bouncing up and down. "No, no! Tiny! Down there!" He pointed below them.
Wilbur gently tilted the Time Machine and stared below them, and gave a small gasp. "Tiny! Lewis look, its Tiny!"
Lewis gave him a look that clearly said "no, really?" and then looked down at Tiny.
"How're we going to get him back?"
The dinosaur was walking down a wide street, licking buildings and clearly having loads of fun.
People were screaming below him, running for shelter, driving away in their cars, all trying to escape as fast as they could from the dinosaur.
Tiny noticed one of the cars and chased it, his tongue hanging out of his mouth, believing it was all a game.
"Why is he big again?" Wilbur asked himself worriedly. "He wasen't supposed to become normal size again. He was supposed to stay small!"
"I guess the effects only last a short time?" Lewis asked.
Wilbur didn't answer, instead he looked down out the window and showed signs of panic.
Lewis sighed, his future son might act tough and cocky, but he sure got panicky quickly. "Lets get out and try to lure him from the city."
"What?" Wilbur asked.
"Come on, land this machine somewhere on the streets, it'll be okay because everybodys to frightened to notice us." said Lewis. "Plus we're invisible."
Wilbur looked at Lewis then at the streets, shrugged, then pulled the Time Machine down to the street below, twenty feet from the 'rampaging' dinosaur.
Lewis hopped out as soon as Wilbur landed the machine and ran up to Tiny.
"Tiny!" he screamed up to the dinosaur, waving his arms madly and jumping up and down. "Tiny! Get away, Tiny! Come on! Out of the city!"
Wilbur ran up and began waving his arms and jumping to. "Come on Tiny!" he called, following Lewis's motions. "Come on!"
Tiny, after the boys had been screaming for almost five minutes, finally noticed the two kids and twisted around happily, his tongue hanging from his mouth, dinosaur spit dripping down below onto and around them.
"Tiny! Get out of the city!" Lewis cried, pointing down the street. "Come on!"
Wilbur ran halfway down the street, waving his arms and yelling at Tiny. The orange dinosaur looked at him and began to follow him, then suddenly broke into a run and ran past Wilbur.
"Aurg!" Wilbur exclaimed in frustration. "Come on!"
The two watched as the dinosaur disapeared around a cornor, they could hear his giant feet stepping down on the pavement, and they knew he was getting to far for them to chase fast.
"Come on, Lewis," Wilbur said suddenly, grabbing Lewis's hand and running towards the Time Machine.
"Wilbur! We have to get Tiny!"
"I have an idea," Wilbur said as he felt for the Time Machine. He found it and quickly opened the hatch and jumped inside the still invisible machine, Lewis following.
"Whats your idea?" Lewis asked as he buckled himself in.
Wilbur turned around. "Okay look, you made these little box machines that could do whatever your bigger machines could do, just with a push of the button and they could duplicate them. You made them just in case something happened. I just remembered them now. You keep them locked up in that cabinit I'm not supposed to 'touch'." Wilbur used air quotes at the word 'touch'.
"So...So we can shrink The Cupid with them?" Lewis asked, smiling.
Wilbur nodded curtly and turned back to the steering wheel.
"Okay, now, we just need to find a way to break into your lab."
"What?"
"Break into your lab!" Wilbur repeated, looking annoyed. "You usually lock it, but you didn't this time. Its Carls fault you didn't."
"Don't blame Carl." said Lewis, frowning.
"Knowing Mom though, she probably went and locked it up again just in case we magicaly got Tiny shrunk without any help and got him back here." he rolled his eyes here. "We might have to break in."
"I don't think its nessecary, Wilbur," Lewis said. "Breaking into my lab? Would I actually raise a son who thought it was good to break into labs?"
"I don't think its a good idea to break into labs," Wilbur said, clearly lying through his teeth. "But not the point, the point is-"
"We need to break into my lab."
"Fine, it is the point." Wilbur muttered, he started the machine. "To 2037?"
"To 2037!" said Lewis, smiling.
And with that Wilbur turned the Time Machine on and they set out into the sky.
