It had been about a week since Cyd and Shelby's last unexpected trip to the future lab when they found out that their impending doom would catch up with them during their senior year. They sat in their room in the afternoon after getting back from school. Shelby was working on her homework and trying to convince Cyd to do hers.

"Why?" Cyd whined.

"Do I need to go over the whole thing of us being grandmas together again?" Shelby asked. "If we don't get into the same college we won't marry best friends and then our kids won't–"

"I get the point," Cyd said, cutting Shelby off.

"Then come here and let's get our math homework done."

Cyd was silent for a minute, contemplating actually doing her math homework, Shelby was about to speak when Cyd did. "What's the point if we don't make it past the future lab?"

"We will," Shelby spoke, sounding sure of that fact.

"But what if we don't?"

"Cyd, we're time travelers. If we get trapped in a situation where they have us in any sticky situation, we can just jump back to the present."

"What if they keep us separated? What if they figure out how it works like Janet did in the alternate time-line we went to? What if we can't touch and can't jump back? What if something they do ends up killing us?!" Cyd rambled on, her voice cracking as she asked her last rhetorical question.

"Okay. I see your point." Shelby set her textbook aside. "What are we going to do about it?"

"We should figure out the exact date of the future lab like you were going to last time before I made us jump back."

"Okay." Shelby went over to her desk and pulled out two pairs of scissors. She walked over to Cyd and gave her the second pair. "Are you ready for this?"

"As ready as I'll ever be," Cyd replied. The two first bumped somewhat reluctantly.

In a matter of seconds, the two girls found themselves strapped to the two tables in the Pelican Ball Room like they had in all their trips to the future before. They used the scissors to cut themselves free and went to the door like they had last time. Again, it opened for them. They snuck out to the main hallway, not running into anyone, same as before.

"What do we do now?" Shelby asked, looking around the hall for anyone who had noticed they were gone. Like before, it was still deserted.

"We need something that will tell us the date it is. Something like– like – like a newspaper!" Cyd exclaimed.

"Good idea, there has to be one around here somewhere," Shelby spoke. They started down the hall in the opposite direction of what Shelby's dad and Janet Smythe had come the last time they jumped to the future lab in search of a newspaper.

"Hey, look at this, this is convenient, a little newspaper stand," Cyd said as they came to a small shack type thing. A man stood behind it.

"You need something?" he asked.

"Uh, no, just looking to see what the date is," Cyd replied nonchalantly. "It's May 10, 2019," she said, turning to Shelby.

"Okay, now what do we do with that information?"

"Dunno," Cyd replied.

Unknown to them, the man at the newspaper stand had been listening to their conversation. When he heard them talking about wanting to know the date, something clicked. He had overheard earlier about a secret project that was being done with a couple of teenage girls who could time travel. He couldn't know it was them for sure, he hadn't seen them, but he alerted higher powers.

Alarms soon rang out throughout the building. "Find them!" yelled the voice of Janet Smythe. "They're by the newspaper stand near the Pelican Ball Room!"

"Uh-oh," Cyd and Shelby said simultaneously. They quickly moved towards each other only to be pulled away by two burly guys in all black outfits.

"CYD!"

"SHELBY!"

Janet laughed in the background as they struggled to get away from their captors.

"I'm sorry I suggested this," Cyd said, still fighting the guy who held her.

"It's okay, we would have never known this could happen."

"Quite with the wishy-washy best friends' stuff. Take those scissors away from them and get them back to the Pelican Ball Room," Janet spoke.

As she spoke, Cyd somehow managed to get a kick to the groin of the guy holding her. She bolted to Shelby, took hold of her outstretched hand and they were soon back in their room, breathing heavily.

"Well that wasn't the right way to go about that," Cyd said in a voice that was full of sarcasm once she had regained her breath.

"You could say that again," Shelby laughed. "At least we have a sound date of when it happens."

"Yeah, but the fact that it still exists means that there's something we're going to do in the future yet that's going to land us there," Cyd spoke thoughtfully.

"Maybe we should leave the country on May 9, 2019 and then they'll never be able to catch us. We'll be 18 by then," Shelby laughed.

A smile grew on Cyd's face.

"I was joking. We need to prevent it from happening in the first place."

"I know," Cyd sighed.

"For now, I guess we need to just keep going on with our lives. That was enough excitement for me for a long time."

"Yeah," Cyd agreed.

Shelby went back to working on her math homework, and surprisingly enough, Cyd also pulled out her own textbook and a paper to do their assigned problems on. She knew she and Shelby would get this all figured out. She was going to make sure Shelby's co-grandma thing could happen and she had to make sure she did well in school to help make sure that happened. She wasn't going to ruin that plan for Shelby.

A/N: So this was just going to consist of the one time of the girls going to the future lab but I got inspiration and this happened. It also gave me a few more ideas of something I can do so I will. I might end up writing a time when the figure out how to completely prevent the future lab from happening, but I'll figure that out as I go.

If the summary isn't updated yet, I'm going to update it a little since I'm adding more and making this not be a one-shot anymore.

Thanks for the reviews, they're pretty much what inspired me to write this. Along with the fact that I'd just watched the Christmas episode.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed this as much as you did the first chapter. Leave a review to let me know what you thought. Thanks,
