Cyd and Shelby now knew that their plan with their wigs would work, that they would be able to get away with their disguises as long as they made sure they didn't lose their wigs in the process of running away. The only thing they needed to change from their last attempt was to make sure that their wigs were more secure. Since they still had their Saturday afternoon ahead of them, the girls first ate lunch with Shelby's family and then headed back out to find stuff to keep their wigs on.

They got caps to keep their natural hair up and bobby pins to hold that and the wigs in place, along with several other things they found that were intended for keeping wigs on.

"That should do it," Shelby said when they got back to their room with their new purchases. "When should we go to the future lab next?"

"Next weekend?" Cyd suggested.

"Yeah," Shelby agreed. "Let's stash this stuff somewhere safe." Cyd and Shelby decided that one of the drawers with Cyd's food and clothes would be a good place to hide their disguises where they wouldn't be found. They wrapped them in the bags and put them there until the next weekend.

Then came the anxious waiting. Both girls wanted to get the week over with so they didn't have to wait anymore and they considered just jumping forward to the following weekend but decided against it. Barry and Naldo managed to pick up on their odd behavior, but the girls refused to tell them why they were acting the way they were, and Barry couldn't figure out why scientifically, though he tried.

Friday afternoon, there was an air of relief surrounding them as they made it home. They weren't planning on taking their trip to the future lab until the following day, but just not having anything else that needed to be done before then was a relief. They did as much as they could Friday night to calm their nerves, relax, and not think about what they were going to attempt the next day.

"Cyd, wake up." Shelby had been awake for almost an hour. It was nearing noon and the time that the girls had planned to get ready to go to the future lab. Shaking Cyd and jumping on her bed hadn't worked to wake her up and neither had pulling her blankets off her. "Cyd," she whined. "Uhg," she groaned, taking her friend under her arms and dropping her on the pile of blankets and pillows that had come off Cyd's bed.

"Shelby," Cyd drew her friend's name out.

"Yeah?" Shelby asked, as if she didn't already know what Cyd was going to say.

"Why?"

"It's time to get up."

"Oh, right. We're going to the future again today," Cyd said, getting up. They went and got a really late breakfast before going to get ready.

They started by putting the wigs on, the part of the disguise that would take the longest to get on. After getting both of their wigs on and firmly in place, they changed into the outfits they had gotten to go along with the wigs. They were about to jump to the future when they remembered that they needed to get the scissors. They retrieved them and then jumped to the future lab.

As they had done multiple times before, they cut themselves free from the tables and moved over to the air vent since that had worked well the other times they had gone through them.

By now, they were familiar with their typical route through the air vents and got back to the same place as they had before. They blocked the sounds of the alarms out as best as they could as they made it back to the deserted area they had the last few times. It was hard to block out Janet Smythe's voice demanding that they be found. When they dropped down out of the air vents, they made for the exit and walked along the building as nonchalantly as they could.

Cyd and Shelby made it to the city without being stopped by GDD. They had final figured it out, they had finally outsmarted Janet Smythe. Their disguises hadn't failed them. "We did it, Cyd," Shelby exclaimed joyfully, embracing her best friend.

"Yeah, so what do we do now?" Cyd asked when they separated. "Do we leave a note for your parents and get out of the country?"

"I dunno," Shelby said. They stood at a busy street corner. People passed them by, they looked like normal teenage girls. Maybe they should have been at school, but that wasn't their concern. None of them knew that time travelers had escaped, or at least not yet, nor did they know the identities of the two girls.

"Ah you silly girls."

Cyd and Shelby jumped at the sudden sound of Janet Smythe's voice right behind them. "You almost got away with it," she continued; by this time, two of the guards with her had taken hold of Cyd and Shelby. "But our microphones picked up you using your real names, as if we wouldn't know them. Take 'em away, boys."

The guards that held Cyd and Shelby made the mistake of holding the girls too close together so they were able to reach their hands out to each other. They were back in their room and away from danger instantly.

"We were so close!" Cyd exclaimed.

"Yeah," Shelby agreed. The two frustrated girls went to their bathroom to change and take their wigs off.

Once they had taken the wigs off, they went to get lunch and then returned to their room to relax and begin planning their next attempt to escape the future lab.
