Didi put Tommy and Dil in their high chairs and gave each of them a bowl of oatmeal. Stu was at a toy inventor's convention in Michigan so Grandpa Lou had to watch Tommy and Dil while Didi was at work.
"So pop you promise you won't fall asleep this time." Didi said as she walked out the door.
"I promise." Lou said.
"Ok good." Didi said.
Didi walked out the door and unlike he said, Lou fell asleep on the couch in front of the TV.
"Good, my Earthling mother is away and the elderly man over there is in the state of rest." Dil said out loud.
"Dilly, you can talk!" Tommy said amazed.
"Yes, I can." Dil said.
"When did you learn to do that?" Tommy asked.
"21 years ago." Dil answered. "But that's not all I can do." he said.
Dil pushed the button on his watch and he looked like a 24 year old again.
"Dil, your time turned you into a growed up." Tommy said.
"That isn't entirely true." said Dil.
"It's not." Tommy said.
"No, because when you woke up this morning I was an adult already and I only looked like a baby." Dil explained.
"How on Earth did you become a growed up?" Tommy asked.
"I wouldn't be able to answer that question because it didn't happen on Earth. You see last night I was abducted by aliens and they took me to their planet. Years are alot shorter there, so my birthdays came alot sooner and I grew up alot faster." Dil explained.
"But if you're a growed up, then that means you're older than me even though I'm your big brother." Tommy said.
"Precisley. And that's exactly why I want to be a baby again. I don't want to be 24 if my brother is still only 1." said Dil.
"How are we gonna turn you into a baby again?" asked Tommy.
"Well you should have some alien technology on this planet." said Dil.
"Uhhhh, we have cellular phones. Will that help?" Tommy asked.
"I don't think so." Dil answered.
Tommy then thought for a moment how he could help Dil until he got a brilliant idea.
"I gots a brilliant idea." Tommy said. "But first we need to get out of these high chairs." he said.
"No problem." Dil informed Tommy.
Dil put the bowls of oatmeal on the table and opened each of their high chairs.
"Ok, now we gots to go to the toy store." Tommy instructed.
"What is a toy store?" Dil asked.
"You know, a store that has toys." Tommy answered.
"What are toys?"" asked Dil.
"You don't have toys in outside space! Oh Dil, I'm so sorry." Tommy said.
"Apology accepted. Now where is this toy store?" said Dil.
"Oh yeah, follow me." Tommy said.
Tommy and Dil snuck out the front door and got on a bus that was heading for the toy store. Before they knew it they were in the store's parking lot. They went inside and went up to the toy Tommy thought could help fix Dil's problem. It was big, wide, purple, and they could step inside.
"It's the first ever time machine or kids." said Tommy. "Oh, I wish you were born when me and Chuckie first found out about it. We sent this giant monkey back in time to when George Washingmachiene was riding on a boat." he said.
"Who is Chuckie?" asked Dil.
"You don't remember him." Tommy siad in sorrow.
"No. I don't remember you either." said Dil.
"Then we better get this done." said Tommy.
"What exactly is this?" asked Dil.
"The time machine can take us to the footure, where I'm sure they'll have something that can turn you back into a baby." answered Tommy.
"I wouldn't be to sure about that because I bet people in the 1960s thought that they would have that nowadays." said Dil.
"Well it's still worth a try." Tommy said.
Tommy & Dil went into the time machine and the door automatically shut.
"When would you like to go?" the time machine asked.
"Take us to the footure." Tommy answered in excitment.
"The what?" the time machine answered.
"He's trying to say the future." Dil answered.
"As you wish." said the time machine.
