Chapter 3- 30 Years in to the 80's
After running through Alvin's chaos, Larryboy and Archibald made it to the science laboratory. After explaining their plan to the scientists, they agreed and showed them the time machine.
It was an oval-shaped machine made of metal. It was the length of a car with an opening on the side. Inside was a big lever with numbers on scales and a button next to it, a bunch of colorful lights on the wall, and a burlap sack on the floor.
"Wow," said Larryboy and Archie in unison and awe.
"Let me show you how this works, said one of the scientists, " Just pull the lever up to go to future dates or down to past dates. Then press this button next to the lever to go to the chosen time."
"What about all those blinking light?" asked Archibald.
"Oh, those are for decorations," replied the scientist.
"Ooh!" exclaimed Larryboy as he walked inside.
"Do you think you could save us? asked a female scientist, shaking. "Look," she said, holding up a poster," Alvin is taking control fast."
Larryboy took the poster and looked at it. It was a picture of Alvin with a crown, surrounded by robots. Under it in red were the words, "I AM YOU RULER!"
"Don't worry. I am that hero after all," replied Larryboy.
"Let me come with you," said Archibald, " You can't time travel alone."
Inside the machine, Archibald started to choose the time.
"So where should we go?" asked Larryboy.
"Alvin's childhood would be nice," said Archibald.
"But when was that?" asked Larryboy.
"I'm just going to guess," said Archibald, "Maybe about thirty years ago." Archibald pulled the lever down, scrolling through dates and years. Then he came to a stop.
"Here we go," said Archibald, then he pushed the button on the wall.
Immediately, the machine set off and Larryboy and Archibald were pulled to the ground with sudden force. It felt like the machine was being pulled forward as Larryboy and Archibald yelled.
"Hooollllddddddd ooooonnnnnn!" shrieked Archibald.
Suddenly the machine came to an abrupt stop.
Archie and Larryboy got up. Larryboy looked outside.
The machine was hidden being some tall bushes in the middle of two buildings. The two pushed through the bushes. They seemed to be in Bumblyburg, but the people looked different. Little girls in babydoll dresses giggled by and teenaged men with mullets and worn out jeans rocked out to heavy metal music in the corner. A band in flashy clothing played retro music on a stage. Everything seemed so colorful and different.
Larryboy looked around and then back at Archibald.
Archibald grinned back. "Welcome to the 80's!"
