The Year 3000 ** The only thing Kelsey could focus on while her science teacher gave a lecture about the Theory of Evolution was the clock and how time was just ticking away so slow. She was pondering about what her father was talking about at dinner the night before, something about time travel. Her dad was a scientist working on a secret government project. She wondered what it would be like to travel to the future. The bell finally rang and it was time to go home. Kelsey made her way to her locker where her friends Juan, Matt, Nick, and Sarah were waiting for her. “Hey Kelsey we still on for tonight,” said Sarah. “Yea you guys can come over around 7 o’clock,” said Kelsey. “Good cause if I fail this science test my parents are going to kill me,” said Nick. "me to" said matt. Ding, Dong! “Doors unlocked,” shriked Kelsey. Juan, Matt, Nick, Sarah walk into Kelsey’s living room where they normal study at. “Hey you ready to study,” said Nick. “O yea,” said Kelsey sarcastically. “Er we have been studying for hours and I still don’t understand any of this stuff,” cried Sarah. “That is because you are dumb as a box of rocks,” said Juan. They all started laughing. “Hey Kelsey I have been your best friend for like 6 years and I do not think I have ever seen your father,” said Juan. “That is because he spends all his time in his lab downstairs working on some secret project,” said Kelsey. “Wow really that is cool,” said Matt. “Have you ever been down there,” asked Nick. “No way my dad made it very clear we are not allowed to go down there,” said Kelsey. “Hey he is not here let’s take a quick peek down there” said Juan. “Yea” said Nick and Matt simultaneously. “No way my dad will kill me if he finds out we went in his lab” cried Kelsey. “Oh shut up there is no way he will find out,” said Juan. I’m not going down there, I’m going home” said Sarah. After Sarah left the 4 of them made their way down to the lab. “Wow this place is cool,” said Nick. Don’t touch anything” said Kelsey. “Hey guys look at this,” said Juan. “Wow what is it,” said Matt. “How am I supposed to know,” said Juan. “Because you’re the smart one,” said Matt. “So that doesn’t mean I know what it is,” said Juan. “What was that,” Nick asked. There they stood if front of this big machine of what looks like a clock to nowhere. “Oh my god my dad is home he is going to kill me,”Come on let’s hide in this thing,” said Juan. The 4 of them ran into the big metal machine. “I cannot believe I let you convince me to come down here,” whispered Kelsey. “Shut up you know you wanted to see what was down here,” said Juan. “What is this thing,” said Matt. “Don’t touch anything,” yelled Kelsey. Shut up or your dad is going to hear us,” said Juan. “Don’t tell me what to do,” said Kelsey as she pushed Juan. The door to the machine started to close. “What did you do,” screamed Kelsey. “Nothing you pushed me and I hit something,” said Juan angrily. “What did you hit,” asked Nick. “A button with the word launch under it,” laughed Matt. “This is not funny,” said Kelsey. A womanly voice said “Lunching systems checked, traveling to the year 3000 in 10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1.” The machine started to shake and wiggle. “What is happening,” yelled Nick.

After 3 minutes or so of shaking the machine stopped and the door opened. Bright lights shined into the machine. Kelsey, Juan, Matt, and Nick walked out. They looked around and saw a sign said that //Middletown, Delaware. // Everything was different, the houses were different the cars were different nothing was the same. A King Pin now ran Middletown and everyone did anything they wanted as long as the King Pin said it was OK. There was no police, and the King Pin was the law, Middletown was in chaos. “So this is what Middletown looks like in the future,” said Nick. “Let’s look around,” said Nick. “No we are not going anywhere let’s just stay by the time machine thingy,” cried Kelsey. Come on what is it going to hurt,” said Juan. “No last time I listened to you got me into this mess,” yelled Kelsey. “Whatever come on guys,” said Juan. The guys started to walk towards the city. Wait I’m not staying here by myself,” yelled Kelsey. As they were walking down the street they were amazed at what they saw. Although everything was out of the ordinary and more advanced. Buildings were destroyed, you could see some on fire, people were screaming. There was no government, no police, and no law to keep things in order so crime and murder was everywhere. People were going around causing trouble and others were trying to fend for themselves. As they were walking deeper into the city a strange man slowly walked up to them. “State your names,” the man demanded. Frightened the four did not answer. “I said state your names,” the man said more fiercely. Flustered they managed to they the man their names. The strange man told them that he owned this part of the city and suggested they should leave if they know what is best for them. They decided to take the man’s advice and head back to the time machine. They sat in the time machine wondering how they were going to get back. “Since Middletown is so advance now you would think they would be able to travel though time now right?” asked Nick. “You would think so right?” said Juan. “Maybe we can find someone in this city that would know how to work one,” said Nick. “Maybe the police can help us,” said Kelsey. “I do not think there are any police,” said Juan. Yea if there were I do not think Middletown would be so crazy,” said Matt. “Then what do you think we should do,” said Kelsey. “I think we should ask around and see what we can find out,” said Nick. The 4 walked back into the city and started to ask if anyone knew about time travel. People could just tell they were not from around here and did not answer. After hours of walking around they decided to just head back to the time machine. As they started walking back they noticed a hooded man was following them. They turned a corner and when the man turned it Juan, Matt, and Nick pranced on him and held him down. “Why are you following us,” Juan asked. “I heard you guys are asking about a time machine,” said the man. “Yea what can you tell us about time machines,” asked Nick. The man took off his hood and revealed his face. He was not a man at all but a boy around the same age as Juan, Kelsey, Matt, and Nick. “There is a time machine in the city but it is owned by Rush McQueen the King Pin of the city,” said the boy. “What is your name,” asked Matt. “Mark,” replied the boy. “Now Mark is the King Pin going to just let us use his time machine,” asked Juan. “No probably not,” said Mark. “We have a time machine outside of the city do you know anyone who knows how to work one,” asked Kelsey. “Yes I do but I’m not divulging it to you anything else unless you take me with you guys,” said Mark. “Ok tell us what you know,” said Juan. “The scientist who made the time machine is Doctor Tanner, he is living somewhere in the city and I think he can help you,” said Mark. “OK we should split up into two groups and see what we can find out about Doctor Tanner,” said Juan. “OK me and Nick will go this way and you and Matt go that way,” said Kelsey. “OK meet here in 2 hours,” said Juan Nick and Kelsey started asking people if they knew anything about Doctor Tanner and had no luck. They were walking down the street when they noticed a hovering car was following them. When it got next to them 2 big guys got out and through them in the car. “Where are you taking us,” screamed Kelsey. No one responded. Kelsey and Nick tried to get out of the car but the men shoved them down into the sits and pulled out guns. “Shut up and sit down, we are taking you to see Rush McQueen the King Pin of the city,” said the driver. As one of the men pointed guns and them and the other drove away so they couldnt do anything. Meanwhile, Juan and Matt were walking around when they discovered the hover car. Matt and Juan where amazed at what they saw. The man got out of it left the keys in it. “You think we should take it,” asked Matt. “Let’s not and say we did,” before Juan could finish Matt grabbed him and they both jumped in the car. “Do you even know how to operate this thing,” asked Juan. “It cannot be any different than a regular car,” said Matt. Like a helicopter it started to go up slowly. When it got up about thirty feet Matt was able to start flying it and they were cruising above the city. They could see everything from up there. Matt says, “Hey look there is Kelsey's house!". So, they land on Kelsey’s front lawn and see if they can get inside the house. When they all raced up to the front door and realized no one has lived in this house since Kelsey and her family they break in. Everything is the same, like they still lived there. They looked around, and realized that just maybe Kelsey's dad’s tools are still down stair and they could fix the time machine with that. Nick says, “Let’s go down stairs in the basement and see what we can find." They all walk down the steps and spread out to look around. " I think I found something!"', said Matt. They all come running over. "You idiot those are just equations!" Nick said. “Wait, I think he did find something," Juan replies. Juan sits down with the pieces of paper to see if he could figure it out. After hours and examination Juan finally figures it out and sees what they need to do. But, the only problem is how to find the piece that fell out during their trip to the future. Nick says " Hey maybe it is somewhere around here!" We looked everywhere there is nowhere else to look all it is, dumb math equations and calculations." Nick leans back against the book shelf and all a sudden this wall opens up. Matt says " Wow that not creepy at all!" All of them were too frightened to go it but they decided they might find some useful tools that they need to get back home. Kelsey was the first one to go back there since it was her house. Kelsey cried, “Why me, I had no idea this was here!" Nick says “It’s your house so get over it." They all make their way back into the secret passage. As they walked in all these lights came on, and all these parts were all over the shelves. "Whoa..." says Juan in amazement.”There is so many how will we know which one is right?" Kelsey asks. Well how about someone goes back to the machine and looks, I mean that seems like the smartest thing to do." said Matt is an attitude. "I'll go." volunteers Juan. “Good because you’re the smart one and everything!" Nick said. Kelsey, Matt and Nick just wait for Juan to get back. It felt like forever because all they wanted to do was get out of here and go back to the past. Finally, Juan get back and come in and does not say anything, he just looks around. He had this very puzzled look on his face like something was wrong. Everyone ask "what’s the matter?" He says, “I don't think it’s here." "What!' yells Kelsey? Nick says, “describe it for us!" Juan does. They all start looking for the object Juan described. Kelsey was crawling around the floor looking under everything. “Wait! I found it!" screamed Kelsey. Everyone came running to her. Juan snatched it from her hands and held it up in the air. “She found it didn't she!" said Matt. Juan doesn't answer. "Well...?" say Nick. “Let’s bring it back to the time machine and see if it works. Nick asked Mark if he could take them back to the time machine. Mark says, " Yeah but this is the last time I can transport you guys, I’m going to get in trouble by the Kingpin and that’s the last thing I need." Juan states, “I’m pretty sure, this will work." They all get back in the hovering car and fly back to the machine. As they all make their way back to the machine Juan hurry’s up and put the piece in the machine and starts it up. “IT WORKS!” yelled Kelsey. “We finally get to go home!" said Nick. They all get back into the machine and close the door. The time machine lady says "Leaving the year 3000...going to 2009 in 10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2...1. The machine shakes and wiggles and then all a sudden the door opens by its self and they are back home. They all sigh with relief. "wow that was crazy" said Matt in a sigh of relief. " i know " says Kelsey. They make there way up the stairs to when they get to the top they are haulted by Kelsey's father. "WHAT WERE YOU DOING DOWN THERE" he says loud in anger. "Nothing dad i was just showing them around" says kelsey in fright. "Ok but your friends have to leave" says Kelseys dad. "Whats the time" Nick asked. Juan looks at his watch and states the time "7:40" "WHAT" says Nick "that means we were only gone for about 10 min" says Matt in shock. "that is crazy" says Nick "well i got to get outta here guys" he said. "Me to " says Matt. "Ok well we can talk about it tomorrow but i havent realized how good the time were in now is" says Juan. Nick and Matt live near each other so they walk how together when they see Sarah. She comes running up to them. "what happened" she says. "To crazy for words" says Matt. Yea Nick agrees. "Did it work, the time machine, did it work" questioned Sarah. "Yea it did but we have to go so we will continue this later" says Nick. "Ok see ya!" says Sarah.
