Chapter 1: The Time Machine

In the lab of Dr. George Hoovey, a big discovery was made: how to travel through time.

It was not in the usual methods of time travel, e.g., speed-of-light travel, a big car/machine, etc. This time, it was the type of movement someone would make that would send him or her into the future.

To be able to achieve this ability, first Dr. Hoovey created what looked like a gigantic magnet. Then he put in a microchip, as well as the ability to become invisible. Next, he created a big machine to put inside it. It took him six years to finish the invention.

When he completed his invention, he called in his assistant, Reelly Short, to send him a pointless object to test the machine. Because it had to be able to move, Reelly sent him a remote controlled car. He then put it ten feet away from the magnet, which now had the ability to float. He then turned on the magnet. It floated, and then became invisible. Reelly then turned on the remote control car and drove it directly under the magnet.

The magnet picked up the motion of the remote controlled car. The magnet then put a force field around the car, so the latter could not get out of the magnet’s grasp. Its sensors then sent a message to its microchip, which made the gears inside it turn quickly. The gears powered a laser, which fired all around the force field. When the laser touched the car, the car started to crumble. It imploded, and then started to become very blob-like. You could say it almost melted. The magnet’s tiny camera was creating a video, meanwhile, of the car imploding. When it started to “melt,” then the magnet’s laser got stronger. It zapped the halfway-melted car, and then the car disappeared. It had gone into the future. It had all happened within a fraction of a second.

Dr. Hoovey knew his invention was a success. But he had forgotten to turn of the magnet after it zapped the car! Consequently, the magnet floated out of the room and started searching for another place to zap into the future. It searched all over, and then a week later, it finally chose a house.

It was Junior’s house.
