Chapter 4

Pim's POV

Me and Aims got sent back to the Stone Age for 6 weeks - 3 weeks for the pair of us. The lady with the gavel first asked us if we wanted to go together or separately. I told her honor that friendship was "our key to survival," not time. Is it my fault that she didn't ask which friend?

Just before me and Aims were to be dispatched, two things sort of surprised me. First, my mother who takes everything in stride actually cried over my sentencing; my big brother, though? Phil threw a party which went on all night.

They didn't use a time machine to send us back. No, they used the newly developed Time Zapper One-thousand.

"Please tell us this is not going to hurt" Amiee was pleading.

"Well, it doesn't have to hurt, and since you two are still minors, it won't."

"Pim, where is 'he'?" panicked Amiee pleaded nervously.

"'He' is just around the corner, Scaredy-cat. I know this cause my Curtis Chip is still programmed and my Curtis Tracker is still working."

"Pim! You're not allowed gadgets. You're going to get us in trouble - again!"

"Relax. Its not a really a gadget. I programmed it into my watch before we le…."

"PiM?"

"CURTIS!"

"PiM! Wat u dOO in CUrTIs CAve? WhOO with PiM?"

"Curtis, this is Amiee, my best friend."

"Pim hacked her mom Wizrd and got us banished for six weeks," Aimee anxiously added in confession.

"PiM sTiLL sAme PiM iN FUtuRe."

Thanks to Curtis, we almost served our whole sentence without breaking a sweat. We all were doing good for five weeks and five days - then that evening the volcano erupted and destroyed everything. Curtis was more saddened over losing his rock collection than anything else. The next afternoon we were attacked by a sabertooth and Curtis was mortally wounded while trying to protect us.

"PiM ... goOD FoR CUrTIs PEAse."

"Curtis you're going to be ffffine. Please stay with us."

"pROmis mE."

"Yes. I promise. Come with us please."

"sOrRY PiM. CUrTIs gO WIth spIrii-i…."

He couldn't even finish his sentence. We spent that night in a scorched tree crying. Me and Aimee promised that if we ever get back, we will start doing good instead of evil. We are going to start with Phil.

Phil's POV Can't close my eyes - can't go to sleep. Gotta stay awake. Pim. I keep telling Keely that Pim is planning something ever since her and Amiee got back 'cause they are not themselves. When Pim returned, she gave me a hug. Yes, a hug! I am not lying; she did not put anything on me or in me. I x-rayed myself 300 times to be safe. Besides my now glowing in the dark, one more thing's for sure, I do not let my sister anywhere near our boys as her evilness might rub off on to them. They are already very mischievous little boys. Today at breakfast, they switched my coffee with one of their bottles. Pim's been coming round often since she paid dues, but I still have to make sure me or Keely are with Pim so she doesn't try to influence them. I don't know what she is planning, but I will get to the bottom of it. I just pray that I won't do anything to get myself killed in the process.
