(A/N): First of all, I am so so sorry for the long wait. Been working and trying to work on the updates of the recent stories. Enough said. Enjoy.

Chapter Five: Time Jump

After finally getting the itch relief from both of her feet which felt like hours to no end, Violet sat at the dinner table all sad and very disappointed. It is not because of the fact that she failed to ask Tony or failed to find the answer as to why she is both thinking and having feelings towards Wilbur, that are beyond the boundaries of their best friend's relationship. No, that is not the reason why Violet is sad and very disappointed. The reason for it is the fact that Wilbur had broken his promise to her about going into the garage and examining the secret time machine without her, let alone not waiting for his father to come around on the subject and decide to let him see it once he returned from his business trip. Violet was quiet throughout dinner while playing with her meal with her fork in straight boredom.

Violet is currently barely listening in on the conversation at the table with her mom starting it out with slight pressuring encouragement toward Dash about what had happened at school today to their dad. Of course, Bob was slightly listening while cutting Dash's steak. Due to the lack of focus on what is being talked about due to thinking about Wilbur's broken promise, Violet missed out on the part of her dad being interested in Dash going to the principal office for the wrong thing based on her mom's argument. One led to another her dad had accidentally broken the plate and accidentally angrily blurted out about having to fix the car on the list of fix things besides the plate. Helen questioned what had happened to the other car but Bob responded by handing Dash his plate and then leaving the table saying he will buy a new plate.

Violet hoped that her mom is not going to start a second conversation with her since she can not hide her sad facial expression. Since it is not well hidden at all and her mom can see that as plain as day or night.

Helen cleared her throat and smiled at Violet, and spoke sweetly. "So, how about you, Vi. How was school?."

"Nothing to report, Mom...Business as usual," Violet spoke quickly and without any hesitation, while still playing with her dinner.

Helen showed concern on her face. "But you have barely touched your food. You love meatloaf. It is the second-best food you love other than your number-one best food, which is pizza."

Violet slowly looked up at her mom for a short second and then back to playing with her broccoli. She muttered. "I am really not so hungry for meatloaf tonight."

"Well, it is leftover dinner night," Helen spoke with a cheery voice and energy. "We have steak, pasta...what are your tastebuds hungry for?."

What came to Violet's mind was having that leftover chocolate cake from yesterday or her culinary dish with vanilla ice cream and sprinkles. Violet had a taste for sweets to help with her disappointment and then sleep it all off. She was a second away to speak until Dash spoke up to irritate her.

"A boy named Tony Rydinger." Dash sang the boy's name with a tease.

This has made Violet drop her fork and shoot daggers at Dash with a serious and warned look.

"Shut up!." Violet angrily warned.

"Dash, please do not go there," Helen spoke, trying to keep the confrontation out of their family quality time.

"Well, then if it is not Tony then why not Wilbur then?." Dash whined and teased. "I thought Wilbur is the perfect candidate for being your 'guy'. When I mean 'guy', I mean your lover."

Violet picked up her fork in anger as she is still conflicted as to her emotional and mental feelings about her best friend which is starting to cross over the red line of their best friend zone. She pointed her fork at Dash angrily

"I said shut up you little insect...or else so help me." Violet threateningly shouted.

"Now do you see she is in deep beyond denial right?." Dash whined.

Helen raised her voice a bit. "Do not shout out at the table. Honey?!."

The forced-to-retire former Super waited and hoped that Bob is going to back her up on this. But to her disappointment that is not those nights.

"Kids...listen to your mother," Bob responded from the other room.

Violet sighed in relief as the current argument had died down when she knew her dad will say something like this due to having his mind being too occupied with something. Now she wonders what is it this time. But that is really not so important. Violet resumed back to playing with her food and was no longer interested in eating sugar tonight, all thanks to her little pain in the rear brother. Unfortunately, Dash always ends the sibling conversation argument by him saying the last words.

"Does any one of you two have a taste for dessert?." Helen asked before resuming to feed Jack-Jack

Dash picked up his cup of ice water and mumbled into his drinking. "I believe that Violet prefers eating a Tony cake or Wilbur ice cream. Or course she is confused about which boy to marry and bear kids with."

That had finally reached Violet's breaking point and limit as all gloves were off. Violet is not going to let Dash tease her and Wilbur and get away with it without bodily harm.

"That is it!. Come Here!." Violet dropped her fork and jumped over the table and tackled Dash to the floor with her head going full invisible.

Now she knows that turning her head invisible will not do any good with her body being visible, but she did not care at the moment since she is too pissed off to care. Dash did not hesitate to block his face when Violet started punching him since her hits were not girly or normal which were reasons unknown. But one thing is for sure is that he is not going out like a little sissy punk. Using his speed, Dash broke free from his attacker of a big sister and started running all around the table hitting Violet behind her head. Helen yelled at the two to stop fighting while the youngest child of the family was laughing in amusement.

Violet just hates it when Dash uses his speed against her as that is her disadvantage. Must less getting very ticked off with being hit behind her head constantly.

"You are gonna be so toast, Vi!." Dash yelled while repeatedly running around the table and hitting Violet as he ran.

"Grrrr, Hey!. Take this!." Violet got angry to the point where she is able to feel the force of energy that Dash is giving off and gathered the buildup energy and broke out a force field.

The field was weak but strong enough to stop Dash in his tracks. But Violet had figured out how to strengthen it but the window of opportunity has never been open but locked. She looked at Dash holding his face in chronic pain and can not help but deserve to snicker at his downfall.

"Ow!." Dash rubbed his head and looked at Violet with anger. "Hey, no force field cheater!."

"Well, hey who is to say using a force field is unfair compared to super speed?." Violet pointed out and smug at Dash. "And besides you started it and I ended it. Case close!."

"Grrrr, I show you case close!." Dash got back to his feet and was about to attack Violet.

Helen finally decided to involved and stretched her arms to wrap hold of Dash by his waist. "You sit down!." Then she quickly wrapped Violet by her waist who is about to go around and best Dash. "And you sit down!."

Oh, Violet was not going to let this one go by a long shot. She is going to stand up for herself and fight back. She just wishes that she can do this outside the comforts of her home or outside of being around Wilbur alone. Without any warning, she went right underneath the table to get Dash.

"No!. Violet!." Helen got pulled down while Dash did the same and take the fight underneath the table. "No!. Dash!."

"It!. Is!. Not!. My!. Fault!. Mom!." Violet yelled back when grabbing Dash by the head and banging his head on the soft grey stainless carpet floor. "I am so going to beat and kick your butt down the same way as what Bray Wyatt did to La Knight at the Royal Rumble back in 2023!."

"Well, in that case, you might have to get Bray Wyatt's Uncle Howdey to come help aid your weak shy butt!. Or better yet I just go call Wilbur because I need a witness!." Dash is kicking Violet.

"You are so dead!." yelled Violet.

"Oh, for crying out loud here. Bob!. It is time for you to engage!." called out Helen.

Bob sighed when hearing his name being called and had to go and see what was the commotion is all about. The former veteran Super had just found out that his best friend Simon aka Gazerbeam has disappeared since the day of the accidental incident with Wilbur on his and Violet's field trip. He was in shock to find out since the man was campaigning to be state governor. Based on the man's promises and plan if voted into office, he is going to end the superhero erasure and fight super hard in court to reinstate superheroes and make them legal. He wanted to read on for details for a possible accuser but was annoyed by his own wife as she bugging him at a time like this.

The man put the paper down and went into the kitchen, to find his elastic wife holding her kids under the table. He tilted his head with confusion on his face as to how this even got to this point. Helen was way too occupied with explaining how this had led up to this point. Especially when trying to keep her kids away from each other and failing.

"Bob, do not just stand there!. I need you to do something!." Helen tried her hardest not to lose her hold and Violet and Dash. "I need you to...you know...intervene!."

Bob got upset at the fact that he was stopped from reading more on the local news about one of his best friends for this spat.

"Okay, you want me to intervene, honey?!." Bob approached the table, picked it up off the floor, and had it above his head. "Alright, I am intervening!. I am intervening!."

The situation did not help much as all four were butting heads at each other in their respective age group. The family drama lasted about two whole minutes until they all heard a knock at the door. They all froze including the baby as Bob put the table back to the floor while Helen let go of Violet and Dash while unstretching her arms back to normal. And then straightening the lamp above their head. Violet and Dash got back to their original chairs and stayed quiet including Bob and Helen.

"Hello?."

Violet had hoped that it was Wilbur at the door so she can pull him upstairs into her room and give him one of her famous serious talks, and possibly give him the silent treatment for a while. Unfortunately for Violet, the person at the door is none other than the family's most trusted, loyal friend, and former Super, Lucius. She waved hi and asked to excuse herself from the dinner table after both her father and Lucius left for bowling night and heard her mom's speech about it being perfectly normal for anyone nonsense since Violet knows that her mom or anyone in their family knows nothing about being normal. Violet sighed when laying back on her bed with her earbuds back in her ears and went to go listen to Janet Jackson's 'No Sleep' to help ease her saddened disappointment about the actions that Wilbur have committed.

Meanwhile back at the Garage

After Wilbur told Carl everything about how this had happened in the first place, let alone look at the security video of who did the break-in which turns out to be an older man and an AI bowler hat. Carl did not respond the way Wilbur hoped. Instead, it is the exact opposite of being calm.

"You really have done it this time, Wilbur!." Carl paced back and forth and stopped to look at the teen. "This man is going to wipe our whole family's existence!."

Wilbur rubbed off on what Carl just said. "Ah, Carl why are you assuming the mega worse?. Who says that this guy might pull that Biff Tannen stunt and travel back to the past and give his younger self the Grays Sports Almanac book and start making a fortune?. Sure the guy said had probably been spying on our home and stolen the time machine, but I bet he is going to bring it back and apologize for the breaking and entering."

Carl looked at Wilbur with an eyebrow raised. "I seriously do not know why you picked that Back to the Future trilogy movie as your movie essay report much less believing that nonsense."

Wilbur shrugged his shoulders. "Hey, there is no proven evidence that this dude and that AI bowler hat have bad intentions against us."

Carl scanned the area of the garage before detecting an object that did not belong there. He found what appeared to be an old notebook with a big 3D girly image cover of a pretty unicorn. He flipped through the pages of the book to see any recent writing and see the page. With quick reading, he then turned the book around and hand Wilbur the book to read.

"You might want to have a second opinion," said Carl.

Wilbur looked inside the girly-themed book to see a dated page of this week and read it in disbelief and unfortunately. The page had a written list of things to do with the tilted paper 'Time Jump Hiest'.

"1. Steal the time machine and go back to the Year 8995.

2. Ruin the science fair and steal Lewis's most prized evolutionary invention.

3. Past off the evolutionary invention as my own invention.

And if phase three fails due to technical issues or needed repairs of the invention.

4. Go out, find, and get the boy."

Wilbur looked at Carl who gave him the 'I told you so' look. "Dang it."

"So now what, Wilbur?." Carl crossed his arms with panic and seriousness on his face and voice. "This guy is literally trying to erase your birth. Erase your father's future and his greatest thriving global empire enterprise in the world that created multiple jobs. Much less preventing my robotic existence. Oh, and let us not forget that he is going to change everything in the future. In case you do not know your own father is one of the pieces that shaped and formed the future that we currently see. What on earth are we going to do Wilbur?!. What are we freaking going to do?!."

Wilbur instantly slapped Carl square in the face to stop him from going into full panic mode. "Carl please calm yourself, you silly robot!. We are in the deep end as we speak. It is bad enough that we are dealing with stress and anxiety, and we do not need to go crazy or panic. Now, then I have thought up a well-proofed plan to fix this. I too am going to Time Jump."

"Time Jump?. Time Jump?!." Carl did not like it at all. "Wilbur just because that accident from your field trip gave you legit superpowers, does not give you the license to carry your eggs in one basket."

Wilbur revealed to Carl and him alone about his lightning power after being brought home after checking out from the hospital. In the first two weeks, he secretly tested his new power away from any eyes and learned a few abilities. He was working his way into telling Violet about his power but was not sure if she will accept him as a Super for a best friend, much less she might be feeling some type of way about being a loser and further her moody depression and low self-esteem.

"Hey, I am the only shot we got. There is no telling what the guy and the bowler hat are packing." pointed out Wilbur. "There is no other undercover hidden Super amongst us."

"But what if your plan fails, Wilbur?." Carl looked at the teen. "You have never used your superpower in action much less strengthened it like some of these Supers. Have you thought about jeopardizing your own Dad's chances of meeting and falling in love with your Mom?. Or did you think about our family or the whole human race itself if your attempt backfires?. Much less make the political parties in 8995 in thinking about the possibility of making Supers illegal way too soon. But most of all...did you even think about Violet's fate?."

Wilbur stopped trying to talk back arguing and then when mentioning his best friend/crush. The idea of losing Violet just sends emotional pain to Wilbur's heart. He just can not lose her for anything. So he has to fix this. Or owe it to Violet and asked her to tag along and just not reveal his powers to her. Unlike him, Violet took it upon herself on known some of the histories of America and its states, cities, towns, and county. The fact of losing and jeopardizing everything and Violet herself, just motivated Wilbur to succeed and not fail.

"No, we can not have that. Here let me call Violet and let her know what has happened and get her over here, and we can go back to the past of 8995." Wilbur pulled out his phone and ordered the phone to call Violet.

Violet was currently listening to Elvis

'Little Less Conversation' in the dark until it was put on pause as she heard Wilbur's ringtone go off. She snapped her fingers Addams Family style to turn on her lamp and the hologram answered her phone.

"Wilbur this has better be good." Violet has a look of upset. "You are interrupting my nightly Elvis time."

"Sorry, first off." Wilbur apologizes. "Vi, I need your aid. A guy and an AI bowler hat broke into the garage and stole version model 2 of the time machine. I need you to come and join me and travel to the year 8995 and stop those two from destroying my Dad's future and what we see and value."

Violet had a look of shock on her face after receiving all the given information that she needed. "I'm coming over there right away, Wilbur."

Violet hang up her phone and went to putting on her light purple robe to cover her black t-shirt that had the movie cover image of the next movie of Halo vs Call of Duty. Not want the people of the past to find out too early about the cross-over calibration and the combined merged company of Microsoft and Sony, which is now MicroSony. Next Violet placed her feet into her matching indoor and outdoor bedroom slippers. Snapping her lamp back off, Violet exit her bedroom and carefully walked down the stairs without making any noise in the dark. However, her eyes stopped when seeing a figure in the dark seating in the living room in the chair waiting.

Violet turned her head invisible and hid behind the couch. Already having the conclusion of her mom sitting there in the chair waiting for her father to get home. Assuming that her old man did not keep his word on coming home later by eleven. He came home later-later. And so she sat and listened in on the conversation between her mom and dad as soon as her mom turned on the light on the lamp. Bob tried to escape the fuss from Helen while eating a piece of chocolate cake and trying to hear upstairs to their room.

Bob tried to convince Helen about his getting home late explanation and tried to make his way out while Violet put her invisible head up to see and hear the whole thing. Helen however was not going to drop it as soon as she spotted a small crumble crumb on the top of his shirt. She frowned upon seeing this.

"Is this...rubble?." Helen questioned.

Bob finished the cake in his mouth and shrugged his shoulders. "It was just a little workout. Just to stay loose. No biggie."

Helen frowned at the words 'little workout' as she knows what he means. "You know how I feel about that, Bob!. Darn you, we can't blow cover again!. We have finally paid off the house for goodness sake!."

Violet heard the entire conversation along with Dash who too had sneaked down the steps to eavesdrop. The conversation between their mom and dad went from him talking about the building being on fire and it is bound to come down anyway either his own doing or natural causes, to them talking about the past of the golden age of the Glory Days. Then they went to jump to Dash's case about his transition from the fourth grade to the fifth grade. Bob throws facts about their son's graduation as it is really not a graduation and the argument that they should let him try out for sports. Helen refuses since their son can not control his super speed.

But Bob argued about it and Helen told him it is not about him but about Dash. And Bob brings back the same subject of letting the boy try out for sports with his voiced raise. Helen repeat what she said and literally stretched her neck to show her physical language. Dash ran over to Violet for protection. The two hate their mom and dad fighting. Bob and Helen caught them when seeing the papers of one of the magazines on the coffee table flipping a bit before closing back down.

Bob sighed. "Right, Dash. I know that you are listening. So come on out.".

Helen crossed her arms with a slightly serious look. "Vi, you too young lady."

Violet and Dash were hesitant.

"Come on you too. Do not hide." Bob encouraged his kids. "It is okay kids. We were just having a discussion."

Violet popped and visible her head out and jumped on the couch while Dash came out from the couch.

"Yeah, a pretty very loud discussion," Violet commented.

Bob motioned Helen to come close to him as he put his arm around her. "Yeah. But that is okay and alright. Because what is important is that Mommy and I are always a team. We are always united against, uh...the forces of, uh..."

"Pigheadedness, yeah?." Helen questioned as they were in the wrong.

"Well, I was gonna say evil or something," Bob added.

Helen had a tired look on her face. "We are sorry we woke you to up. Everything is absolutely okay. Now, then go back to bed. It is late."

"Night Mom. Night Dad," said Violet and Dash as the two returned to their rooms.

Violet is disappointed at not leaving the house and go help undo Wilbur's mess. She sadly have to leave Wilbur a message and went to bed. Too much happening in one whole night.

Wilbur received the message to his disappointment. "Well, it looks like I am going to time jump solo."

"Fine. Just recharge the original time machine's medium power generator." Carl unlocks the bottom hood of the time machine. "Your Dad has developed a special fuel chemical to run the second time machine. The first one did have one since he wanted to stay green eco friendly since gasoline is forever obsolete."

Wilbur nodded as he bent down and grabbed the bars of each end of the medium-sized generator and used his powers to charge the energy fuel. The generator begins to run on its own as he closed the lid down and locked it.

"There. Wish me luck, Carl," said Wilbur when getting inside the goofy-looking ship.

"Good luck, kid." Carl crossed his arms and try not to worry too much for Wilbur. "Remember, once you enter the past and return back, you will be gone for two whole days. Your Dad has not fixed that issue with the original or second time machine since he still is dealing with return travel to the exact day and not lose any. On the positive side, you never have to worry about aging. So that is a win-win."

"Alright." Wilbur turned off the break and hovered off the ground and was glad that his driver's ed teacher thought him how to drive an air hover car and hover car. "Anything that I need to know in the past?."

"Your Dad's name in the past before being adopted was Lewis. So call him Lewis and not Dad or Cornelius," said Carl.

Wilbur nodded. "Right. And if plan A fails I will go to plan B. See you in two days!."

With that said, Wilbur flew out of sight and punched the numbers into the dial from the Year 9025 to the Year 8995. While setting the month, day, and clock time which is November twelve at eight-fifteen in the morning.

"I have to succeed," Wilbur told himself this when entering the colorful time machine after being surrounded by tiny multiple bubbles. "For Violet. My Violet."
