Love In The Present Tense

The Meeting(Adrian)

"oh man my head aches". I open my eyes to find that we seem to be somewhere pretty similar to where we were. I pick myself up and stand there for awhile, until i hear a groan coming from behind me.

"Happy now are you uncle claude"

"Okay so maybe my little experiment didn't work"

"Ha!, you can say that again"

I begin rubbing my head, hell i must of hit something hard."Ahhhh". I hear a moan coming from behind me again."Alright uncle claude, I get your sore". I turn to help him up, but its not him.

Oh my!, I must of hit a young girl when I fell. Not just any young girl, wow!. She's quite beautiful. I lean down to pick help pick her up, huh that's weird. She must be dressing up for something.

I offer her my left hand and she takes it. Her hands are so rough for a young girl, however her arms are quite smooth.

"Are you alright"

"Do i look alright" she snapped

"Excuse me and my uncle, he's a little odd"

"He is!, what about yourself. what the heck are you wearing ". I glance down at the rest of my body. There's nothing wrong with what I'm wearing. my good old denim-jeans , my white top and black tie.

"Hey there's nothing wrong with what I'm wearing, look at yourself. You look like you just jumped out of a 1930's car magazine".

"What's that suppose to mean"

" I would hate to break up the chit-chat,but I would like to go home and fix my contraption".Said uncle Claude in a upset tone.

"Where do you live" spoke the young girl. I couldn't help but butt in here.

"we live at number 6 Lion's Estate". I noticed as soon as i said it she laughed whilst rubbing her head.

"You can't live there, it's still under construction". What is she on about, maybe when i hit her. I hit her way to hard.

"Ahh-Kay, where going to go now"

I glanced back to uncle Claude and noticed he also looks like he jumped off the pages of a 1930's car magazine. Im loosing it, Im seeing things!.

"Love what year is it?" spoke uncle Claude in his new high pitched voice.

"It's 1932". Though she has a harshness to her voice, I can't help but appreciate her beauty.

"Uncle Claude, I hit her pretty hard when I fell. You can't be taking her seriously".

"Adrian my Boy!,my contraption seems to have worked"

"Okay, well you guys have fun doing what your doing. Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm going to leave before i get attacked by lunatics"

"What lunatics, us!?. Where not the ones who believes it's 1932"

"EXACTLY" she said in her typical harsh voice.

As she starts to walk off. I can't help but give her a evil glare.

"I can't believe that it worked"

"That what worked uncle Claude!"

"Adrian, my time machine. it actually worked"

I can't believe it, he might of actually succeeded in doing it. But why here?, why now?. What is the purpose of being back in 1932. If we are trapped here how are we going to get back?, what if we have to live here in 1932 for the rest of our lives. Before I know it, I start to panic.

"Uncle Claude, what do we do now?"

" I suggest we follow her". He replies in his now excited voice. I follow where his finger is pointing. Just before we loose sight of the young girl we start to follow her.
