The Time Machine

I was over at my best friend’s house after school one Friday afternoon. We heard strange beeping sounds coming from the basement. We walked downstairs to investigate.

My friend and I saw a large machine in the middle of the basement, with lots of flashing lights and buttons. We ducked to enter the small door of the machine.

We saw one knob, angled to the left and pointing to the word TODAY. To the right of that setting were the words FIVE YEARS LATER.   

Confused, I looked at my friend. She looked right back at me.

My friend reached for the knob and turned it to the right… FIVE YEARS LATER

There flying donkeys, space elephants, and even pink tigers standing on their tippy toes. I have no idea how this happened. It must have been a time traveling machine. But how did this much change in 5 years. I HAVE ABSALUTELY NO IDEA!!! We did a quick look then I decided that I wanted to go home. We hopped back in the time traveling machine. I turned the knob right and - oops, I forgot that you’re supposed to turn the knob left. I accidentally turned it 10 years later. We teleported there and I saw… ME! I was walking right into a huge mansion. Was this my house? I looked beside me and Jack, my best friend, was gone. So I had to go 5 years earlier and I found him trying to get the machine to work. We both teleported 5 years earlier. And I know I will be wandering for 10 years if what I saw was true.

As we stood in the strange round belly of the machine, something strange happened. The machine began to beep. It beeped louder and louder, and faster and faster. Then, it started to make a whirring sound. Steam puffed out of it in short, hot bursts. Then, the machine started to shake. It shook and shook, and then, I got that feeling you always get when you’re on an elevator, where it feels like you left your stomach behind far down below. My friend leaned on the wall of the strange machine, clutching her stomach. There was fear in her eyes. I probably looked the same. Suddenly, the machine started spinning. As quick as lightning, me and my friend opened the small round door and crawled out. “Whew!” I gasped, “I think we just climbed into a time machine!” I looked over at my friend. she was studying the time machine carefully. Suddenly, she burst out laughing. “What?” I said defensively, “What’s so funny?” “That wasn’t a time machine, silly!” My friend said, “It was a laundry machine!”

After my friend turned the nob, we felt the machine starting to move. Before we knew it, everything in front of us started to spin and twirl. I was getting really dizzy and all of a sudden everything stopped spinning. My friend and I looked at each other, nervously. As I started to turn the door nob, my friend started investigating the nob that said “5 YEARS LATER”. I had a little trouble opening the door, which was kind of expected, since the machine was a little rusty. When I finally got the door to open, we realized that we were not in my friend’s basement anymore. We were outside in a big city. We asked someone where we were. And she replied that we were in Chicago, where we live!To double check, I looked at the street names. We were in Chicago, because I recognized all the streets! But everything looked so different! Everything looked so modern now. Since we knew where we were, we decided to walk to my friends house.Then I remembered the 5 years later nob. We were in the future!

And we couldn’t get inside. “Grat!” I said. Then, the machine started to shake. “Whoa!” Said my best friend, standing beside me.” We better move back!” I said. They took 10 steps back. “Oh my gosh!” I said “Is this really true!” “Are you seeing this?” I said to my best friend. “ Yes. It is CRAZY!!!” He replied. The both said a the same time “ THE TARDIS!!!” “ known as the Time And Relative Dimensions In Space!” I said. “ And that means…” My best friend said, both of us turning heads to each other. They turn around. “ THE DOCTOR!!!” We both shouted out loud. “ Also known as the last Gallifreyan Time Lord!” I said. “ Well hello fello kids!” said the doctor. “Seems you know alot about me, huh?” “Yes!” We both said. “ You want to come or not?” The doctor said. “ OF COURSE!!!” We said. “Then Let’s go!”

So then we climbed out of the machine and we were at my house and my friends parents were also at my house so we heard them say that my friend was moving far away and someone took the machine. When we heard that it was a time machine. So I understood why we were so ahead in time so then me and my friend went back and pressed the today button and so we went back to our time and enjoyed.

There was a whooshing sound and they landed on a thin dirt path leading in a forest. So, I opened the door and we got out. we just stood there for about 5 minutes and then, this man came up to us and said, “Are you two lost?” “No,” my friend Eve replied. “Why are there so many trees? Aren’t there any robots or like no trees, just roads?” I asked. The man replied, “No, you see, a woman named Isabella Brown said that she predicted that the Earth would be too polluted for us humans to live on. So, every single country stoped their wars and came together to stop that. Canada came up with a solution to plant more trees and get rid of some unnecessary factories. This gladly worked or else we probably would be living in space, the man answered, “by the way, I never caught your names, what are your names?” Eve said, “Eve Bluebell.” I said smiling, “and my name is Isabella Brown.” I grabbed Eve and we went back to the past. The End!!!!

We saw ourselves being a grown up we got confuse why? And my friend noticed we are in a time machine, we got so frightened! We were stuck in the FUTURE! There were 2 versions of us, the past us and the future us, they were just standing there just staring at us, we talked to our grown up self, my friend said “hi..” we all were speechless… it was so awkward, we had to get along so we get enough protection and all that stuff… later on we had everything that we need to stay safe living with our FUTURE us, when suddenly my friend said something i did not thought of “what will our PAST parents be thinking about us stuck in the future?”

UH OH!
