Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2021 14:39:44 +0800 From: Tallahassee Wilson Subject: A Timeline Away 4 (Young Friends) (Science Fiction) Anyways, here's part 4. Donate:http://donate.nifty.org/ ------------------------------ I woke up, with my partly operational body alarm at 4 am. I always woke up early, but this is a different story. I can sleep whenever I want! Unless, if it's time to go to school at 7. I flipped the pillow to the cold side when I heard Carl mumbling about something. I could make up the words..."Stanley...looks....cute" Aw, he's complimenting me. I was used to get compliments. Some of the clients say that I was cute, but I just ignore it because they're trying to sweet talk me into demanding less money. His snores were soft, unlike some of the clients. I enjoyed watching his auburn wavy hair as I play with it for a bit. What am I doing?! He's not your client, Stanley! I faced the wall and continued to sleep. I was sound asleep until Carl woke me up because we needed to get ready for school. It was 6.30 am, foggy and damp. I went downstairs and took a shower. Carl said we were running late and he said we needed to take a shower together. It was fine for me since it was normal to share a shower with the clients. We took of our clothes, revealing my hairy dick at him. He looked at it for a bit and snapped my fingers at him. "Hey, you were saying?" I said as he smiled nervously at me and took off his clothes. His chest was toned and it was nice to look at. He was physically fit, same as me. He was a bit chubby while I barely had any fat on my body. He was embarrassed about taking off his underwear in front of me, so I faced the wall as he took it off. I looked behind me to see if there was some soap when I saw his semi-hard, 3 and a half, slightly hairless dick. It had no foreskin in it. I was used to it, so I acted normally and ignored the fact that I was still staring at his dick. "Um, yeah.... Anyways, here's the soap. You can use it." He said as hands me the soap and we both smiled awkwardly. Okay it's only weird if you make and think it's weird. I soaped myself thoroughly and he kept asking a ton of questions about my timeline. We chatted for a while until he said that there's shampoo in his eyes. I hate when that happens to me. He stepped back when he slipped and luckily, I got him. He stared at me for a while, noticing that his leg was touching my dick. We both blushed as we stood up and agreed to never speak of this. His dad greeted us and was off to their farm. "Anyways, Stanley. Since you don't exist here, it means that you have no documents of your existence here. Luckily, you can adapt another identity. Bill quit school when we were only at primary school and maybe you could fill his shoes. You guys look a tad bit alike, but it'll do. Stay here. I'll go to his house." He said as he left me and locked the doors. Maybe it's okay if I become another person. He said that Bill had a rare skin condition that prevented him from going into the sunlight. His friends may notice that I'm not Bill, but Carl said he'll take care of it. I ate potatoes and it's kinda....sloppy but it tastes good. Carl lended me some overgrown clothes which perfectly fits me. I was dressing when Carl came back with a lot of people. He said that they're okay about me filling Bill's shoes. Bill said that it was a great idea since I do the hard work, he stays at home being homeschooled and he doesn't even have to do any thing to pass school. Carl said that I am his lost relative that lived in the mountains of Colorado and was homeless and an unregistered citizen. Wow, he really has a way of telling lies. They believed it and we walked with them to school. Their streets were clean, the air was fresh and the sunlight was warm and comforting. I'm beginning to think about running away was the best idea I had ever made. Carl's friends were really loud, playing rock music that made me uneasy. I covered my ears and got to their....school. Huh, after 160 years, the architecture of schools changed only a little bit. I was scared, but this isn't my timeline. No one knows about what I used to do back then. I confidently entered the school, only to get mortified in front of a lot of people. "It's okay, dude. Chillax, they're cool. Just don't mind the people here. Act natural." Carl said as he took me by the hand and smiled at me. I don't know why, but Carl smiling at me, made me feel...warm. No one ever smiled at me back there. Phil sometimes smiled at me but Carl makes me feel something when he smiles at me. I walked, looking down since I don't wanna make eye contact. We got to class and some kids say that I look nothing like Bill but his friends say that I changed my look. Carlton sat next beside me when my GC chip beeped. Oh! There's internet here! I got to the bathroom to check what this is all about and it's...a call! From Phil! I immediately answered it. "Hello? Stanley?" Phil said silently. "Phil?! Oh my god! You're fine! Thank goodness. Where the hell are you?" I asked him. "I don't know why, but I'm in Portugal! I'm currently in their court for adoption! A nice family adopted me! I mean, sure they're Italian, but this is perfect Stanley! We've escaped hell and we're finally living peacefully! Anyways, my gps say that you're in America. Don't worry, I'll be there!" He said, ending the call as I was happy for the 2 of us. He's right. This timeline has none of the sufferings that I had. Maybe I could finally live in peace here. I got no responsibilities...but I have no family here. My family back in 2165 needs me. I formulated a ridiculous plan that might work if I do it right. I go back in 2165, get my parents and Amity then go back here in 2005. We can live a normal life, planting and growing our food, not having to do desperate measures in order to survive. I need Phil and some help. I went back to class and Carl asked where have I been. I told him I made a phone call. It was lunch time and I got what they call it a pizza since Bill's friends say it tastes great. I had only 40 dollars on my GC chip and shook hands with the lunch lady. She said she needed money, not a handshake. I forgot I wasn't living in 2165 now, so Carl paid for me. I grabbed Carl and told him about my ridiculous plan. "So, you're telling me that you'll go back there?! Dude, you're a fugitive! You can't just waltz in there like nothing happened! You need a disguise and my help. Maybe I could help at something like distractions since Pappa said I was really distracting." He offered his help as he held my hand tightly and smiled at me. His happiness was contagious. "Thank you, Carl. I'm so glad you're my friend." I hugged him, as he hugged me tighter. What am I doing?! We've been hugging for 9 seconds now! I let go and thanked him again. It was home time at last. We walked back to their house, but I needed internet to call Phil. I grabbed him to someplace where the internet signal is strong. He said that the nearby town had fast internet connection. I need to get there. I grabbed Carl with me since he knows this timeline better than me. "Umm, dude. My Pappa will be mad if I don't go home before 6! He'll destroy my CD player!" He said, resisting from going to the bus stop. "Look, Is your CD player more important than my family?" I made him guilty about my question so he came with me. My GC chip was at 5 percent charge. I need to be quick since this thing only charges on nuclear power cells and here, the USSR is the only one that has those power cells. We got to the town and it was 5 pm. I called Phil and luckily he answered it. "Stanley! Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you that we'll land on San Francisco. Anyways, the gps say that you're somewhere in Oregon and you'll get there by a car or bus. I'll meet you there. Anyways, what made you call?" He asked. I explained to him everything about my plan and also Carl. "Ah, I see you've made a new friend there. Your plan isn't that bad actually. There's a small grey area though. The data was corrupted and I can't fire up a portal. Even if it wasn't corrupted, we still need to extract exotic matter to stabilize the portal. I'm sorry, but maybe you could start all over again here." He said, leaving me shocked. I can't save my parents, that's it?! No, I need and I have to! "Wait, those guards from OXCorp had fired a functioning portal. If we could steal their tech and use it, we can go back to 2165 safely!" I said. I still have tons of hope that I can still save them. "Hmm.... that'll do actually. But how are you gonna knock them out?" He asked. Yeah, good point. "You know Stanley, there's what they call a butterfly effect of events. See, if either someone founds out about their futuristic contraptions and get a decent proof like a photograph or video, it will eventually change the course of time, destroying that future. We can scare them in order to get their device! I have a camera back home. All we need are the people." Carl said. Whoa! That could actually work! Carl was spot on and Phil said it was a perfect and fail safe plan. Luck might be on our side since the news say that a couple of people had been looking for me. Bingo! I needed Carl with me and his camera, so we went back to his place. His dad was at the doorstep, waiting for Carl as he got to his room swiftly and grabbed a weird contraption. Carl said that he'll go to a sleepover at my place and his dad agreed with it. We got to the bus stop and took a bus to California. I'll get myself captured first and Carl will stick with me and get his camera, threatening them with it and grab their devices. "I sure hope this works. California is a big state." Carl said. Yeah, me too. We got off to Shasta and eventually, looks for those people that are looking for me. Carl and I walked through the streets, hoping to get noticed until suddenly, a man grabbed me and Carl. This must be it! "Stanley McCain, you're under arrest for ruining space time. You better get ready, bitch. The president has some pretty bad news for you and your boyfriend here." He said as Carl takes his camera out and tries to picture the immobilizer that the man was holding. "Let him go, or else somebody may end up in history books!" Carl threatened as the man was weakened from fear. He let go of me and told him to face the wall or else we'll capture him. "You ignorant fools! You think you can get away with this? You're wanted now, kid! Every military forces are guarding this timeline and back there. If I were you, I'd surrender immediately or else my family won't see the light of day again. Too bad though. If only you just accepted the fact that you'll get fucked and raped until people will get bored of you, that family of yours would have been alive and happy right now." He said, leaving me petrified. They....no...T-They killed them?!! Is it true?! "Stanley, he's messing with your brain!" Carl said as I grabbed the immobilizer and shot him multiple times until he bled and died. Oh wait, time is complicated. I can just easily go back in time and save my parents and I kinda felt guilty about killing that man. Nah, he deserves it. Carl was scared and we ran away and grabbed his money, jewelry and his device that he used to make the portal. We took the next trip to San Francisco. --------------- TO BE CONTINUED...
