 * A Twist in Time **

Ok, you always ask why life is the way it is...well I will tell you. It all started with us androids, my two sisters and I, Shanaynay, and Lulu, and Ica which was me. We hated the way our life was, and wanted to show every one how bad life really can be. I talked to my boyfriend Jack, who is my enemy’s older brother. Anton, my enemy, is a scientist who makes robots. He's really smart and can build any thing if he wanted to. So I talked to Jack to get him to make a time machine so we can go to the future. Of course Anton didn't know that the time machine was for us. This is where my evil plan all began. "Hey Lulu, can I get a hand over here I need you to help me look at these ideas." "Yeah sis, I will be right there in one second." said Lulu. "No I need you now not in a second from now!" Ica yelled. "Ok! Ok! I’m coming so what’s the big hurry for?" said Lulu. "I need you to tell me what you think about how we can make every ones life as bad as ours." Ica sneered. "I have no idea, I’m not good at that kind of stuff and you know it," said Lulu. “Fine then, I think we should take all the money out of the banks, and destroys the whole planet!” “Wow don’t you think that’s a little overboard?” said Lulu. “Look Lulu where suppose to be the people taking over the world, we don’t go easy on people! God, will you ever learn?” “I’m sorry sis, it won’t happen again." said Lulu. “Good don’t let it; I don’t want to here about it again. Now go help Shanaynay make dinner, Jack is on his way.” Later that night when Jack is over for dinner, Ica tells him the plan, and about the time machine. Ica decided to wait until after dinner was over to tell Jack about every thing. Ica took him up to her family room where it was just the two of them. "Hey Jack, you know how where always saying that we wish that we could make every ones life as hard as ours, well I found a way that we can, but I need your help." She looked at her toes as he spoke. "I like the sound of this Ica what do you have in mind?" said Jack. "Well we need a time machine to go into the future, and take over the world. I was thinking that you can get your brother to build it for us since that is his kind of thing." “Now how am I supposed to do that?” said Jack, “You know he hates you!" "I was thinking of you to telling him that you need it to look into the future to help save the world, and make every thing better.” “Yes, yes that may just work,” says Jack, “Ok but I need you to go home and talk to him.” “Then call me and let me know how it goes.” "Anything for you my love" Jack says with a sly smile on his face. The next day, Jack asked Anton if he could build the time machine. Of course, Anton started to get suspicious. "Why do you want one?" he asked, still pondering who the time machine was for. "I felt that I wanted to see our father for one last time" Jack lied. One thing Ica like about him was that he was a great liar. Anton, although on the sudden reason, still said he would build it.

Jack rushed to our house happy with the great news he had received. He couldn’t wait to tell Ica all about the time machine and that Anton had finally completed it. As he walked in the sisters were sitting around the table with their arms and legs crossed deep in conversation. They all turned surprised to know he had come that late at night. "I have some great news for our little plan." he said walking up behind Ica and hugging her. Ica turned around and looked at him "We have some great news to, we have revised out plan to what we all should do once the machine is up and running." "Well great timing that he came, because Anton has given me some great news. It was completed and will be running by tonight. The only problem will be getting it back here." All four people looked at each other surprised that, the most important detail had been forgotten. How these four masterminds were going to figure this out was a mystery. "Jack?! How could we forget that part?" Ica screeched Jack looked down at me befuddled by our mistake. Shanaynay and Lulu looked down at their feet then turned to me searching her face for advice. "Ica what if Jack just goes over to Anton’s and tells him that the machine must be transported to a safer area, and that since it is Jack's project the place that it arrives to is confined." Shanaynay whispered to the group as if someone was actually listening. "Nay that might actually work. Jack! Do you think that will work? You could go over there later when it's a more suitable time for him. We all know how he likes it when it's dark." Ica looked up at Jack for an answer as she spoke. He looked at us and the room fell silent. "Ladies I think that might just be the answer that we need. I'll head over there in about an hour, he'll surely be awake then." They all sat around discussing what would happen after the Machine arrived and what they would do to twist up the future to a way they all desired making the entire world a little more aware to how life really is. Showing the humans the horrible things can happen. Then again they were the ones who could make anything they wanted happen. If it got to bad then they had the ability to go back and change time back to the way it was meant to be, and if it wasn’t bad enough for their desire they could go and change it to whatever they wanted. As time went by the conversation grew out and they looked at Jack and he lifted himself from the chair he was sitting in and walked towards the door. "I guess I’ll be going now, I’m sure my brother won’t be too surprised." Jack said. "Be careful my love, don’t do anything to screw this up." Ica laughed at herself. Shanaynay and Lulu both chimed in "Make sure you come back with that machine!"

Jack left and he walked down the stone driveway.. A bad feeling swept over him. He knew deep down something was bound to go wrong. He hopped into his red air mobile and swiftly drove away. As he drove closer and closer to Anton’s he got more and more worried. Soon the large gray house came into view and he drove slowly down the long driveway. Jack parked the car and sat there for a second and put his head back and took a deep breath and sighed to himself. He reluctantly opened the door and climbed out. Then for some reason his body over took his mind and he hurried to the back door that led to Anton's basement. The door creaked open and it was darker in the stairwell then it was in the actual midnight. He stepped down onto the concrete floor and his footsteps sounded louder than normal, they echoed against the stone walls as he walked closer to Anton's office. Then a CLASHING noise pierced his ears and he turned to see Anton leaning against the time machine, arms crossed and eyes glaring. "So my brother.. I see you arrived exactly when I expected you would." Anton's words spat across the room. "Yeah you told me exactly when to come, and when the machine would be ready to be used. But there’s one minor detail.." Jack said. "Oh and what would that be? The fact that you left out the part that your sweet little girlfriend would be using it for her own sick pleasure?" Anton walked closer as his words tore through Jack. "I didn't want to tell you because if you knew about Ica you wouldn’t have built the machine.." "Oh my poor naive brother, I knew all along since the moment you said that you wanted to use it to see father again. I knew it had something to do with that girl of yours it always does." "Well since you know so much, then I guess it will all be fine. If you knew and you didn’t want me to have it for our use then you wouldn't have built it. I'm not that naive Anton." Jack spat back. "Fine Jack, have it your way, but if you screw up the future to much it will all reflect back upon you."

Jack left Anton's house. He was going to go back and tell Ica, Lulu, and Shananay about what had just happened. He knew Ica and her sisters would be mad about the whole thing and how Anton had figured out the plan. So, he had to figure out a way he could tell them that he had no clue Anton had any idea. Jack thought long and hard about what he was going to tell everyone, he had no clue what to say. He thought maybe he could say what really happened, but he figured they wouldn't believe that. But, there was no way of getting around not telling Ica and her sisters the horrible news. Jack finally overcame what he was trying to hold off for so long. He arrived at Ica's house to see how excited her and her sisters were to hear about what they thought was going to be good news. Even though, it wasn't. "Hi Jack, so where's the Machine?" said Ica. "Well, that's what I came here to talk to you and your sisters about." Jack replied. "What?" Ica questioned. "So, when I went to Anton's to sneak in to get the Machine for you three..." started Jack. "Tell us what happened." Ica urged. "Anton was there waiting for me, because he knew I was helping you and your sisters out on something evil." exclaimed Jack. "So what are we going to do now?" said Ica. "He said that if we screwed up the future, it was on us." said Jack. "Well we all know that." said Shananay. "But that is our plan anyway so it really doesn't matter." added Lulu. "Besides all this, how are we actually going to get the Machine here?" Ica said. "I guess we will all just go get it from Anton's, since he said if we messed up the future it was on us."

Ica, Lulu, Shananay and Jack all left the sisters house, and went to Anton's place to figure out a way to get the Machine from his basement. "This thing is so heavy." whined Shananay. "I know it sure is." said Lulu. "Let's figure out a way to pick this up, and then move it through the garage door." said Ica. "It would make this task, 20 times easier." The four of them tried to make a strategic plan for moving this large, heavy, and not very maneuverable Machine out. Lulu suggested, "Two people holding the Machine up in the back, and the other two people in the front directing the Machine out of the basement safely." "That seems like a good idea. Let's try it." said Shananay. They went along with Lulu's plan. It was working at first until the Machine started to get even denser from holding it for so long. So, they had to take a break. The four then struggled again to lift the Machine up and get it through the door without banging it on everything they had passed by. Once they got to the basement door opening, they realized that the time machine was too wide and too tall. So they needed another way out. The four of them decided to try and take it up the stairs and out through the garage. Even though, carrying it up the steps wouldn't be all that easy either. But, they HAD to get it out of there. All four of them made it up the steps just fine, through the house, and out the garage door. They finally got the time machine! "I'm so happy! We found a way out." yelled Shanaynay with joy. "I know, me too!" replied Ica, Lulu, and Jack. "Thanks for getting Anton to make this Jack." said Ica. "We definitely owe you big time."

Now that they had the time machine in their possession, they knew they could make what ever they wanted to happen, happen. And from now, it was all a matter of time before everything would change. They loaded the time machine onto the lifter that was attached to the car and drove swiftly away. As soon as they arrived back at the sisters’ house they figured that they would try it. But sadly they forgot one important detail, asking Anton how the machine worked. Jack, Ica, Shanaynay, and Lulu were all intelligent so they but their heads together and eventually turned it on. They peered inside amazed at how different it actually looked inside once it was on. "Do you think we should try it out?" Ica asked. "I guess we should since we have came this far along." jack said while still looking inside the machine.

All for people climbed in, surprised they all fit so comfortably. "Year 2022 is what was at now. How far do we really want to go back? Or the question really is what time is there that something actually happened that we would want to change?" jack was trying to figure out which button to push. They didn’t know how far back they wanted to go yet, but they were just trying to get the bottoms to work and figure out which ones to push. So Jack took a guess and pushed a button hoping it would do them some good. Ica screamed "look the numbers are moving, way to go jack were going back in time." The time machine counted down quickly year by year, then came to a sudden stop at 1891! Jack was frightened with a monstrous look upon his face. Lulu said "wow this looks a lot different, where are the cars, and malls?" Shanaynay was smart so she knew her past. "Ica was back in time so far where there are still witches!" "OK, then I guessing where not keeping the original plan, so we have to make a new plan" Ica yelled. Jack said "well if were that far back we can just help the witches take over the world then leave the future back in there hands". "Yes, Yes", says the sisters with joy. So the four of the started to walk to all the houses looking for witches. When they finally found one, they started to talk to her and her cat. Ica was the brave one to speak first, "hello there my name is Ica, We are from the future and we need your help". The witch started to speak back but not in the same language. Shanaynay was getting vary scared! "Ica I think we should leave and go home I don't like this idea any more I’m scared." The others agreed. "No" shouted Ica "If we do that then why did we come all this trouble if where not going to mess any thing up?" As the four of them were arguing they didn't notice the witch had left the room. She had gone and came back with her book and her wand. She started to mumble a bunch of gibberish, as she did the four of them tried to run. Shanaynay screamed" I told you this wasn't right, I told you". Then Ica ran through the door, but before Jack, Shanaynay, or Lulu could they had all been transformed into animals. Jack was a bat, Lulu was a bird, and Shanaynay was a frog. The witch had put all three of them into her caldron and started to boil them. She looked through her book as she mumbled more unknown words, then poof like that they were all dead and had been turned into a poison. Ica had stopped running to realize that neither of her sisters nor Jack was behind her. Thoughts ran through her mind of what to do. She decided to turn back to see if she could help them. She was very disappointed in herself that she had gotten away and they didn’t, when it was her idea. She cried and cried when she had reached the house to see that her family was gone. There was no hope on saving them, so she returned to the time machine to head home. She played with the bottoms till she got it right. Finally she was home safe at last. "Wow it feels good to be back in 2022! But if only I had my sisters and Jack. I should have listened when Anton told me it would come back on us. I really made a mistake but maybe I can go back in time before we left and not have gone" Ica mumbled sadly to herself. As Ica walked over to the time machine she had realized it was broke. She must have pushed to many wrong buttons ,there was no hope left in getting her family back. So she went to her room and was never seen again. Many people wondered why the house was left all alone and no one ever bothered messing with it or wondering what happened to the family that lived within. Anton from the last night he saw his brother grumbled along with his work in misery until the day he died.

Years later, Ica had passed away and the government was searching the house, finding odd things and notes about destroying the planet and changing the world. One of them found the time machine, and in it was what seem to be Ica's journal. On the journal was the words "Why the future is the way it is". =      = =   =
