Sorry for the late update. I've been really busy with a lot of stuff. Thanks to those who reviewed and added this story to their favorites or alerts. Here's the next chapter:

After a lot of struggling I'm finally standing outside the Laundromat. Passerby's stare at me, perhaps because they know me as the great evil genius scientist that took over their town. Or maybe it's just my hair that's gone crazy from all the static in it and that I kind of smell like a walking French fry. Yeah, it's probably that.

"Moist, I want you to stay here. If anything goes wrong, try to fix it using anything you can find at my place"

I don't wait for him to answer and run ahead and pull open the doors of the Laundromat. I push people out of my way as they gasp and yelp as I shock them with my static. I yank open the door to the basement and run down the stairs, only to see that I'm too late. Stacey and Captain Hammer are leaning over my time machine that I had hidden here for safe keeping.

"Lookie who's here. Nice hairdo." Stacey smirks at me and I growl back.

"Give me my machine!"

"And why ever would I do that?"

"You don't understand! You can cause…" I'm cut off from my sentence and Hammer grabs the front of my shirt.

"We're going back and there's nothing you can do to stop us! Stacey set the machine!"

"My pleasure."

She turns the knob back to a few months back. Back to that day. Back to the day I killed Penny.

"No! Stop!"

She pushes the button and the room around us changes. Our bodies seem to start moving on their own, at the speed of light, through the fabric of time. Colors splash around us and my ears start buzzing. My stomach feels queasy from moving so rapidly yet not moving at all. My heartbeat starts racing. My vision gets blurry. I hear thousands of voices at once. Suddenly we start slowing down and the room around us finally comes to a standstill. We all fall hard to the ground, holding our heads in our hands from the dizziness. Finally, when the room stops spinning, I get up and look around. My shirt's collar is grabbed all of a sudden and I look down at Stacey.

"What is this? Nothing changed!"

"Something changed alright." We look to Hammer who's holding out his phone so we can see the screen. The date is off. Off by several months.

"We…we did it! We came back in time! Now I can finally get my revenge!"

"I won't let you!"

Stacey turns to me. She has a menacing expression on her face, but then she smirks.

"Well, let's try to see you stop us."

I move towards her but I am stopped as I feel my face being crushed behind Hammer's fist. I fall to the floor. I move my hand to my face and see blood on my fingers.

"They don't call me Captain Hammer for nothing. Better get that nose checked."

They laugh and pick up the time machine and turn around.

"See you around Billy." Stacey winks at me and they both walk out the door, still laughing. They think they can get away, but I won't let them win that easily.

I stumble into town, still weak after all I've been through. I look around but don't see Stacey or Hammer anywhere. But I know where to go. I run as fast as I possibly can to the building. That building. Where I killed Penny. Once I get there, I see Stacey. No it's not her. It's someone else. Penny.

I stop abruptly on my feet. I freeze. My heart stops. I can't breathe right. She's as beautiful as I remember her. No, even more beautiful. She turns her head towards me.

"Billy!" She shouts and waves her hand in the air.

I slowly lift my hand and clumsily wave back. It's exactly like it was before. I'm full of awkwardness and she's beaming with joy to see her friend. Just her friend. She runs over to me.

"Billy! I'm so glad you could come! I…what's wrong Billy? You don't look like yourself. And what did you do to yourself? You look terrible."

She runs her hand through my messed up hair. I stare at her. My heart fluttering at her touch and concern. If only we can stay here forever. Just with each other. Looking into each other's eyes.

"Billy?"

"Oh, sorry P-penny. I was just thinking about…stuff. But I'm ok. Really."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes…positive." I smile to reassure her.

"Ok. Well, let's go inside. Captain Hammer is going to start talking soon."

"…you go ahead. I'll catch up later. I have some stuff to take care of."

"Oh. Ok then. See you inside."

She turns around and I watch her leave. Stopping myself from pulling her back and holding her tightly in my arms. Once she's gone I remember why I came her. I couldn't stop Hammer and Stacey from coming back in time. The damage is done but I need to stop them from accomplishing their task. Hammer can have his glory, but I won't let Stacey get what she wants. I won't let them take Penny away from me again. I run around the building to the back door. Sure enough, there they are.

"Hey!"

They turn their heads and see me standing there.

"What do you think you're doing here!" Hammer starts to walk towards me.

"Oh, I don't have time for this! There she is! I'm going in for it!"

Stacey runs inside the building.

"What! You can't just…great, she's going to ruin everything!"

Hammer runs after Stacey with me following not far behind. I catch up to the two as Hammer has stopped Stacey from going any further. I realize that I'm on the stage right behind the curtains. I turn and see Hammer standing there and giving his speech.

"Wow, I look good!" I look at Hammer and his head literally looks bigger.

I notice that Stacey is still holding the time machine. I lunge in for it. Hammer grabs the back of my shirt and pulls me back.

"Oh no you don't!"

"Captain Hammer?" The three of us turn our heads to the voice. There we see her standing. Penny. She looks shocked to see a second Hammer. She turns to me, confused.

"Why hello sister."

Penny gasps and she notices her look alike standing there.

"Penny?"

I furrow my eyebrows, confused at why Penny is calling Stacey by her own name.

"Penny, what are you doing here?"

"What? You still wanted me to be in that prison where you left me? Well, too bad. I'm back now and you're going to pay for everything you've done to me!"

I'll try to update again soon. Hope you guys liked it. Next chapter will be a lot more exciting. Thanks for reading!
