It was the year 1945, Haidyn was standing in the middle of the road crying, because she was so nurvise while she was standign on the street. She was thinkingn about that what happend with her family, and knew that she was not going to be able to fix what had already happened to her family many year ago. when she was only the age of sixteen her love for his family was still there and knew she could stop him but yet cant let him go. That long rainy day in 2040 was at an end and she couldn’t help but wonder what really happened, but she was saying to her self that his father was dead for many year when she was only 6 year old and she don't now anything about his mother. she was able to tell only about her dad. in every year and every day of the week she stand on the rode waiting for her dad to come back, she don't believe in another peoples that what they say about her dad. she was so nurvose about what will happend if she stand every year on that roda with out eating anthing.

It was a rainy day when left. On the bike, like always, he went to his friend, Greg's house. On his way, a tractor-trailer pulled out in front of him on the bridge. He hit the truck and lost control of the bike on the wet whindy road. He drove right off the bridge. They said he had a heart attack but others say he died from the impact. Haidyn never really known the truth. Her friend Nick, who lived in a 100-story apartment by the opera house, had a time machine that he used to fix things he messed up. She wondered if she could go back in time to stop her dad from leaving, and if she couldn't stop him from leaving, then to stop him from getting hurt. So she called Nick that night and asked if she could use the time machine. "You can use it whenever you like." Nick told her.

She went to Nick's at about 9:00 that night. She was still wondering to herself- what if my dad never left us? what would our life be like? would it be that much different? would things be that much better? She was sick of wondering- she decided she would find out. Haidyn was going to go back in time, 5 years into the past, to the day of the accident. She had to try to stop it from happening, but she wasn't quite sure how to do it. When she got to Nick's door, before she could knock, Nick already swung the door open, and was waiting for her. "Come in, quick!" he whispered. Haidyn looked around a second, and glanced back towards Nick, hissing back, "What's with being all secret?". "Shh!!!" he replied, "I've decided I'm coming with you- I don't know what could happen and neither do you, so I decided maybe I should tag along and we'll figure it out together; that is, if you don't mind..." and he smiled at her. "Alright, but we have to be careful".

The two hurried up to Nick's room, using the teleporter to get there faster- Nick lived on the 73rd floor- there were no steps, only elevators and teleporters- the elevators would take you to floors 1-50, and the teleporters would take you to 50-100. Nick typed in the 73rd floor in the keypad, and stepped on the warp ring. Haidyn and Nick we're instantly turned into a tye-dye type of shape and then, a second later, were dropped off in Nick's living room. "Come on" said Nick, "Let's go". They went into Nick's closet, which was the size of a UPS truck, or at least what it was 40 years ago, nowadays, mail was automated, and sent to your home via voice message. Nick turned on the light, and a shining silver metallic doorway stood in the far corner, the only part of his closet that was dimly lit. Haidyn walked over to it, and examined it, "Are you sure this will work?". "It's worked before for me when I had problems- of course they weren't as big as yours, but it fixed it just the same" said Nick. Haidyn set the day, time, and year into the time amplifier, and the place they were to arrive into the destinator, and pressed launch. The silver archway began to glow, and created a large portal into the beyond which was hopefully the year 2040. Haidyn and Nick stepped into the teleporter, and were swept away into the tye-dye realm once again.

As the two were reaching their destination, it had appeared as if there was something wrong. Their faces were pale and their hands were clammy. They had noticed that there was a dramatic change in scenery. When they got to their destination, they found a news paper on the table where Nick's apartment used to be. But when they had looked at the news paper they had realized that when Haidyn typed in 2040, she accidentally typed in 3040. The building was dilapidated, and beginning to crumple into itself from the top, as were the rest of the once, well structured buildings. They walked outside and realized that everything was destroyed. Haidyn realized that global warming had taken hold of the earth. There was so much pollution in the air that it was eating at the houses that were left. The sky was greenish-gray. The sun was barely visible through the clouds that shrouded the entire planet. Just the sight of the city was so depressing that Haidyn and Nick wanted to leave right away. They ran back to the time machine. They hopped in, but this time they made sure that they typed in the right year. Nick typed in 2040 into the keypad. He hit enter and off they went.

They saw flashing lights all around them. They slowly stepped out of the time-machine. Nick looked around and noticed how different his house was. He didn't realize how much everything changed. Haidyn looked at the clock and it said 9:51 p.m. She yelped and yelled "I got a call that my dad died at 10:05 p.m.! we have to get there now!!! it's going to happen any minute!!" so Nick grabbed her hand and ran towards his car. They jumped in as fast as they could. Nick sped all the way to the red light, right before the bridge. "Do you see your dad?!" he asked Haidyn quickly. "No, not yet... Oh wait- there he is!" she screamed. Haidyn jumped out of the car, and ran towards her dad. The light was about ready to turn green. She ran faster. Finally, her screams through the pouring rain reached her father's ears through the hard plastic shell of his helmet, and he turned and looked confused. He said "Haidyn? Is that you? You look... older- almost 16..." but the thought dropped out of his mind for the time being, and he followed with "what are you doing out here on the highway?!" in a worried voice. "something bad is going to happen, daddy, you have to trust me. You have to get off the road and away from this bridge. Just come with us. Please, dad, you have to listen to me." she explained to her father. "Okay. Get on the back of the bike, and I'll pull off the road." he told Haidyn. She hopped on the back of the bike and the slowly pulled over to the shoulder of the road.

"Okay, now tell me whats going on Haidyn," he commanded "this isn't like you." Haidyn didn't know how to explain it. She didn't want to tell Mike that he was going to die. "You just have to trust me to stay off that bridge and away from this road." she told her father with the mixture of tears and rain ran down her face. "Okay, fine I will go home okay? But you have to explain this to me later." Mike told Haidyn, still with rain pouring down on their backs. Haidyn and Nick got back in the car, and they told Mike to follow them to Nick's house. Nick restarted the car, and pulled out from the side of the road by the street light, and behind followed the roar of Mike's motorbike.

The rain began to die down as the three pulled into Nick's apartment parking-lot, which was no longer a run-down mess as it was in their 3040 mistake. They went inside to sit down and to explain everything to Haidyn's father. Haidyn was so excited to know that she had this problem all solved, and when she went back to 2045, everything would be alright. Nick was getting something to eat from his 2040 fridge. Everyone sat down in Nick's old family room, and all was quiet for a minute or two; until Mike broke the silence. "Haidyn, what is going on? what happened to you? you're all grown up, and you're with this boy, that I've never seen before- who is he?" Haidyn almost completely forgot- the 2040 Haidyn didn't know Nick until 2044 when she met him in high school. "He's my friend from school dad, but just listen so I can explain everything to you. I am your daughter, even though I look older that's because I am. Daddy, today, on this day, July 14th, 2040, you went to your friend, Greg's house, and on your way, you were hit by a tractor-trailer, and you swerved off the road... Daddy, today, you were supposed to die." she paused, to let it sink in a bit before she continued "Trust me daddy, I know- The reason I look older, is because I'm from the future, and I know everything that happened. I came from the year 2045, because my friend Nick; who you still don't really know, but you will someday- created a time machine, and Nick and I used it to come back in time and stop the accident from happening."

Mike sat in the small living room chair, leaning over with his hands together between his knees. He remained quiet for a minute- not that much of a surprise to Haidyn or Nick- it's not everyday someone just runs up to you, brings you somewhere unknown and tells you that you were an inch from death. The room remained quiet until Haidyn's stunned father rose to his feet and said to her, "You need to go back to your time... we don't know what could've changed from 2040 to 2045 since you saved my life. That's 5 years Haidyn. A lot of things can happen in 5 years- for better or for worse. Don't worry, I'll see you when you get there" and he smiled as he finished his sentence, and he ushered Haidyn and her friend back into the time machine. Nick entered the year, 2045, and hit the green flashing button, and for the last time, the two were whisped away into colors again... Nick and Haidyn appeared into the world again, and everything looked normal again. "Things look better already" Haidyn said, triumphantly. Haidyn ran home as fast as she could, because she couldn't wait to see her dad again- for the first time in 5 years. She was so excited, that she barely noticed the lack of change in her house, or anything around it since she last left. She ran in the door yelling for her dad, and everything was quiet. Her voice echoed through the hallways. She looked for 5 minutes and couldn't find neither her dad or her mom, so she decided she would call them on their cell phones. But when she called, they didn't answer. So she decided she would wait for them to come home, because she figured they were out somewhere together, probably at the store. Haidyn sat down and flipped on the T.V. and put on the news, to see if anything had changed when she was gone.

Haidyn soon bored of T.V. and sitting around doing nothing- she couldn't wait for her parents to get home. She decided she would do something to occupy her time, and she ended up going to get the mail, but when she went outside, she was surprised she hadn't earlier noticed, but there was an entire two bags of mail and a news paper on top of them. She walked over curiously, picked up the news paper on top. She carried the two bags inside and put them on the living room floor. She poured them out, and wondered why her parents hadn't opened any of the mail in this long. There was so much unread mail, Haidyn was there for an hour looking through it all, and she couldn't decide what to make of it all. But suddenly, as she was going through the mail, she remembered the news paper on top, and she pulled it out of the mail-made mess. The date at the top said Tuesday, November 13, 2043. And the front headline on the news paper read, "TWO KILLED IN DEADLY CAR CRASH". Haidyn was curious, so she read on. "Yesterday, two adults, parents of a 14-year old girl, died in a horrific car crash. The two bodies after the carnage were identified as Mike and Holli Hemingway, residents in local area Sydney, Australia..." and Haidyn stopped reading it. Tears began to build up in her eyes. She knew who it was. It was her parents. They died 2 years ago. Not just her father. But her mother too. She thought she saved her father and made her life better, but in fact, she ended up having a worse life than before.

It turns out, that from 2040 after she saved her dad, instead of being deceased, her father was still alive. And when Haidyn fast forwarded through time 5 years, life changed in the future, and Mike and Holli went for a drive one night and never came back. Instead of just her father going, her father was alive; he took Holli out on their anniversary, out to a fancy restaurant. The serving there was great, and the two enjoyed it so much, that after wards, they decided to go out and get an anniversary present for themselves, and while they were out, they decided also to get Haidyn something to bring back- they got her a garden set. Holli knew how much Haidyn loved flowers, and so she bought a garden set, with seeds all inside of quite a few kinds of trees, and flowers, and even some plants. In the packets, there were apple trees, cherry trees, and orange trees- roses, lilies, and daffodils...

The wreck her parents were in was bad- real bad. When they were leaving the mall after buying their anniversary gifts, they came to a 3-way intersection with a red light showing. They looked both ways, and saw nothing through the fog, and they assumed that the road was clear, and that they could go on through the red light. But as soon as they passed through, an eighteen wheeler smashed into the side of their car, and sent them spiraling through the air, off the side of the road, and into the open field by the intersection. The presents they bought were scattered everywhere; some of it left in the middle of the street after being tossed out the trunk and back seat of the car, other parts ground into the earth on the side of the road. The accident was so intense, some of their belongings were found scattered 100 feet from where the vehicles collided.

Haidyn read the rest of the article, and sobbed for hours. She finally put the article down and went back to Nick's house, for she was going to try to go back to the date of the second accident and see if she could fix that without messing anything else up. But when she arrived at Nick's; she was devastated to discover that the time machine was no longer operational; because after being used so much during their last few trips, the power core to the generator was fried, and unrepairable. So after she learned this she went home and stayed inside for an entire week with out eating anything but thinking about what she can do to get that machine work so she can go back and fix every thing that have to be fix and come back safe with out hurting anyother peples or other things. But she wanted to see her parents again. She was saying that i will do anythign to see my parents again and brignn them back with me to my house. But she knew there was no possible way she would ever be able to see them again, one last time. After her misery died down; she decided the only thing she could do, was to pay her respect to where her parents died. She got on her bike, and pedaled her way to the local mall. After riding for 30 minutes, she came across that deadly intersection that caused her parents past, untimely death. There were still signs of slight swerve marks, and on the side of the road where most of the debris flew off to; there was a faded cardboard garden set, shredded and buried partially underground, and behind it, was a cherry tree, surrounded by roses...
