Time After Time
How is this possible that summer was gone? I just wish this is all a dream. I want to wake up and feel the last day of school with a party at Jack's house and rave with glow sticks all around me. That would be fun. The four of us were in Bill's house, feeling bummed out and depressed. We didn't say anything. It was complete silence. I haven't heard this much silence since church, which dear god I hope I don't go back there. I almost died of boredom there with the priest saying words I don't understand. I was sitting on a chair with a book in my hand called, "The Lives We Live." It's about some doctor who wanted to do a sex change. It's confusing at the start but the story is really interesting. If I remember correctly, there should be a series coming out next year. Oh crud. I wasn't supposed to say that. DAMN IT! Well, there goes Fox making the live action series. I should probably keep my mouth shut. Anyways, I looked at the three dudes who are all slouched of despair. Man, I didn't know this would really affect the four of us while everyone else was fine with the gloomy day. I place the book on the table and stand up. I walked towards the window and looked out with my arms crossed. I leaned my side against the wall, looking up at the gray clouds as it got dark. I felt a strong negative energy just hit me straight in the chest. I became really uncomfortable with the negative energy. Sure I'm always dark but I never reveal it to the public. I just kept it with me. Wait, did Bill find out back at the roof yesterday? I don't know. I look at Bill, Ted and Jack who are just staring in different directions. Jack was reading a Stephen King book, Bill was closing his eyes, his head was up at the ceiling, and Ted was strumming his air guitar, pretending he's hitting every right note but knows he's not. I was tired of feeling bored. Boredom is definitely not my thing. I pulled out my cell phone and start searching through the internet about summer. I went to Google and immediately found an entire search about the history of summer. I was scrolling through until I found an article that caught my attention. I went to the link and saw the entire story about how summer first started and ended. I walked towards the couch, sat between Jack and Bill and said, "you dudes might want to listen to this." As Jack, Bill and Ted leaned close, I began to read to the article:
San Dimas Future News
Summer is the time everyone hits the beach, the warm weather sweat in Southern California, bands going on tours, and kids get out of school. But what happened to summer? Scientists have discovered summer does not exist in calendars, music, books, EVERYWHERE! They even tested a person about summer, but the person remained dull and gloomy. "It seems no one wanted summer," said Kelly, local scientist. Kelly also discovered that someone have removed summer in the timeline. She showed us footage of a man who was sitting at an office announcing the removal of summer. The man's face was blurred out due to his order to never reveal his face on TV. The video can be shown on the link below.
I pressed on the link as it took me out of the article and went into YouTube. The video began to play as it show a man with his face blurred out, sitting in front of a desk with two flags on opposite sides. "Isn't that the White House?" asked Bill. I paused the video, stood up and walked towards the TV. I moved the TV to connect a wire to my phone. Bill grabbed the remote from the table and turns on the TV. The screen showed a paused video of what we were watching on my phone. I pressed play and quickly sat back down on the couch. Our eyes focused on the video as the man said;
"Good evening fellow Americans. This is your leader of the world speaking. I am contacting everyone in every state, in every continent, and in every country to listen to me as this is an important message. We are all familiar with summer. The season where the weather turns hot, people go on road trips, the beaches get packed, fairs come over to cities/boardwalks, famous bands go on tour, and it is also the season kids get out of school to enjoy the freedom. Now don't get me wrong, I love summer. Summer is great, but there's a problem with it. You see, summer is the time where there is a crisis going on in the world. Kids become stupid and dumb instead of staying smart and studying. Once your child gets back to school on September, boy will they be stupid. They won't even remember what they learned from the previous years. This is why I declared a new rule. From now on, summer vacation is banned forever. Every student must continue with school throughout summer. Thank you for your cooperation and God Bless America."
As the TV turned static, we were in full shock. I looked at Bill and Ted, seeing how definitely bummed out they are. Summer is like the only time they can actually go out on the road and be free from everything. Jack and I? Well, our summer is just chilling at his place, playing video games, going to movies, going out camping. We do it all the time, but not this time. I look at Jack and he asked, "Is it just me or did this whole thing about the man behind the desk saying summer is banned forever reminds me of the Purge?" Ooh. That gives me an idea for a new fanfiction. Good thinking Jack. I gave it shrug since the man's tone kinda sound like something you would hear from The Purge, which is a most excellent movie. Bill and Ted were confused to what The Purge is since the movie doesn't exist in the 80s. All I know is this is going to be one most heinous life since the leader of the world is going to-wait a minute. Leader of the world? There's no such thing as a leader of the world but there is something called "President of The United States" but leader of the world? Where did that came from? I replayed the video to listen to the man's voice and paused for a moment, looking at Jack, Bill and Ted and asked, "Does this era have a leader of the world?" Bill and Ted shook their heads. "What kinds of thing is that?" asked Jack, "I understand if someone is President but Leader? That's not right." "That's what I'm trying to figure out. Do you know how to un-blur the dude's face?" I asked Jack and his response is, "I can try since I took computer class back in the future but the problem is I'm going to need a computer or a laptop to try to un-blur the face." "Well," said Bill as he stood up and walks up the stairs, "back in the adventures of Ted and I, Rufus gave us what you future dudes and babes call a "laptop." We have to keep it hidden from everyone here since well, you know." He enters his room for a second and comes out with a black laptop in his arm. He rushed down the stairs and walks towards us and hands Jack the laptop. "And what kind of adventure did you two do?" I asked. Ted responded, "It was in 2010 when we have to stop some dude for buying the rights to our band and change it to "Atomic Gorillaz." What kind of stupid name is the Atomic Gorillaz?" Bill interrupted, "Not to mention we were going to be replaced by some little girl and some dude." Jack and I made an uncomfortable face, hoping they don't get replace since Hollywood, in the future, always make re-makes/re-boots of the most classical and excellent movies, even the Ghostbusters movie. Man, Sony pictures are definitely screwed. Jack opened up the laptop, turns it on and went to the internet. The internet page opens up to see a webpage of both Bill and Ted's adventures and road trips through space and time. Jack went to YouTube and grabs the video image of the man's blurry face. He opens up a program that was on the laptop and starts to un-blur the face. A few seconds later, Bill and Ted screamed in fear. Me and Jack immediately looked in confusion. "You know this dude?" asked Jack. "That's Chuck De Nomolos," said Bill. "One of Rufus's old High School gym teacher," said Ted. "He tried to kill us when we went to wish our other selves the best of luck on the Battle of the Bands in 1992," said Bill. "And man we look really colorful," included Ted. Jack and I looked at each other and back to Bill and Ted. "Did he get arrested for trying to murder you two?" I asked. "Obviously!" scoffed Bill and Ted. "My father arrested him and escorted him out of the San Dimas Civic Center," said Ted, "But how did he manage to escape?" Bill signed angrily and answered, "Ted you bonehead. He's from the same future as Rufus." "Oh." Bill shook his head and looks at us, "so yea." "But the REAL question is, where is his location?" I asked. "Well," Jack said as me, Bill and Ted turned our heads at him, "from the looks of the office, it's a green screen and you know where green screens come from?" "Ireland!" answered Ted. Bill smacked the back of Ted's head for a stupid answer and Ted rubs the back of his head in pain. "Nice try Ted but no," Jack said, "green screens create special effects. And when it comes to special effects, there's only one area that is home to the special effects." He turned the laptop towards us and the four of us yells out, "HOLLYWOOD!!!!!"
Hollywood, the city of fame, or pretty much something like you would see from Las Vegas but mostly at night. Hollywood was home to the walk of fame, TCL Chinese Theater, most excellent tours, and many celebrities who live in the homes of the Hollywood hills or Beverly Hills. Jack, Bill, Ted and I were walking around the streets of Hollywood, hearing the chatters, laughter and smiles and also the anger of people yelling from traffic and car horns honking but hey, it's Hollywood. It's not like we're in Time Square because it is worse. We were heading to a 50s style diner next to a theater to get something to snack on. As we entered the restaurant, we took a seat by the jukebox that was 5 steps away. I sat next to Bill and I look down on my lap with my hands on my cell phone to make sure it is hidden from the public. Man I feel like I'm back in class already. I was looking through my phone if there are any news about the disappearance of summer. So far, it was all about the video of De Nomolos's ban of summer throughout the entire world. Bill was looking down as well and asks, "anything new?" I look at Bill and put away my phone with an answer, "just rants about De Nomolos's law of banning summer." Ted sighs in anger and drops his head on the table and mumbles, "why us? Why can't it be anyone else? Why not the Doctor dude?" Just then, we heard a clear throat behind Ted and to our surprise, it was the Eleventh Doctor. "Did someone call the Doctor?" he asked with a smile. I rubbed my eyes. Am I really dreaming? The Doctor immediately widens his smile with pride and yells out, "MARILYN!" We stood up, rushed to each other's arms and gave each other a big hug. Oh how I miss his hugs so much. "Doctor," I spoke in my British accent. Bill, Ted and Jack became really confused at what is going on. The Doctor and I pulled away and looked at the three who were confused. "Wait," said Jack, "you two know each other?" "Obviously," I spoke with excitement. The last time I was on an adventure with the Doctor was at a theme park in the moon called 'Hedgewick's World of Wonders' where the cybermen were taking over. I even remember when he was controlled by one of the cyber-mites and it gave me chills to see the dark side of the Doctor. I shrugged off the chills and look up at the Doctor, who was a bit taller than me but he still has that fun and positive energy in him. He looks down at me and wraps his arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer. "She's a very intelligent girl," the Doctor spoke, "Very passion in art too. Speaking of art, have you drew anything new?" I winced in guilt and said, "I'm sorry. I don't have my sketchbook with me." The Doctor groaned and said, "you promised me Marilyn that you will never leave your sketchbook." "I know," I began to complain. "Hey," interrupted Ted, "sorry to interrupt your reunion but what are you doing here Doctor dude?" The Doctor made a cute, confused look on his face and tries to remember what is he doing here in the 80s until he snapped his finger. "Ah. Right," he said, "I came here because my TARDIS is being a little naughty at not functioning the coordinates to visit Clara's house for her birthday." "You do know my birthday is not until 6 weeks right?" A small, calm voice was spoken behind me and the Doctor as all of us turned our heads to see a beautiful girl with her eyes that are brown and her brown, wavy hair in a loose bun, dressed in blue and white waitress outfit with a couple of menu pamphlets in her arms. I looked at the Doctor and I noticed his eyes were definitely focused on her. I shook my hand in front of his face to see if he was awake, but failed. "Clara," he whispered. I looked at Clara and saw her smile. I looked back at Bill and Ted and saw their eyes were definitely focused on Clara. "What a babe," Ted spoke softly. I rolled my eyes and walked back to my seat. With the help of Jack, we smacked both Bill and Ted in the back of their heads as they softly cried out in pain. "Dude," they both spoke in sync. Clara walked towards us and said, "How are you four doing?" "Well," answered Jack, "besides we met the Doctor, we're doing fine." "That's good to hear but mind if I ask," she looks at me and continues, "how did you meet the Doctor? He never told me about you." I look at the Doctor and he signaled me with his head shaking side to side and mouthing the word, "no." I looked back at Clara and answered, "Well, why not ask the Doctor? He's filled with answers on how we both met." Clara looks at the Doctor with a smirk as he waves at Clara nervously. "He is really a tough dude to get answers," said Ted. Clara looks at Ted and looks back at the Doctor with her arms crossed. Just then, my phone began to vibrate and I immediately pulled it out, placed it on my lap and saw another video has been uploaded from De Nomolos. "It's De Nomolos again," I said. The Doctor walked towards the table and looks over my shoulder to see a photo of De Nomolos. "That's another reason why I'm here," the Doctor spoke in his serious accent. He looks at me, Bill, Jack, Ted and Clara and looks back at the screen of my phone. "Without summer, the TARDIS will be useless to time travel." "It lives in the seasons?" asked Jack. He looks at Jack and nods his head. "The TARDIS is controlled based on seasonal changes, especially Summer but if one season has been removed, the time-line will be scrambled and both the present and future will definitely be in a serious world as you, Bill and Ted, call it, 'most heinous'." The four of us stood up and Bill said, "Don't worry Doctor dude, the four of us will help save Summer." "yea," said Ted, "Me and Bill have defeated De Nomolos before and we can defeat him again." The Doctor smiled and yells out, "TO THE TARDIS!" As the five of us are about to head to the TARDIS, I stopped and look back to see Clara standing there. I walked towards her and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want to come with us?" Clara sighed and answered, "I don't know. I really feel like I'm not part of the team. After all, the Doctor doesn't really care about me." My heart definitely broke when I heard Clara's sad words. "Now what made you think of that?" I asked, "Did you see the way he looked at you? When was the last time you two have been on an adventure together?" Clara looks away and shrugs with an answer, "As long as I can remember." I sighed and grabbed her hand, softly. I held her hand and saw her eyes locked in mine. "Lets continue with your adventure," I said as I softly drag her in my hand towards the TARDIS. Once we both stepped inside, I let go of her hand we looked around. The TARDIS was definitely big on the inside, filled with infinite rooms, especially the heart of the TARDIS. I missed the feeling of the huge space inside the Police Box and I noticed Clara's face was definitely breathless. I walked up to Jack as he looked at the mechanics and buttons and levers that were laying on the pad. "Well then," the Doctor echoed as he clasped his hands together, "Who's up on an adventure?" He jogs up to the pad and just as he was about to pull the lever, he turned his head to Clara who was sitting on the steps. He stood straight for a moment and walked up to her. Me and Jack looked at the Doctor walking towards Clara as I tried to hold my fangirl inside. Jack looks at me and rolls his eyes. "Screw you," I whispered. "Love you too," he whispered back. We looked at the Doctor on his knees and spoke softly to Clara. I couldn't tell what he is saying to Clara but whatever he said, he grabbed her hand and helped her up and escorted her to the pad to pull the lever. Bill and Ted were running down the stairs to meet everyone up. The Doctor and Clara looked at the four of us as his hand intertwined with her hand on the lever and pulls it. Once they pulled the lever, the TARDIS immediately shook as me and The Doctor yelled out with glee, "GERONIMOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
