So, we all know how the story goes but I'm going to tell it a little bit differently. And since you're all still here I'm guessing that's ok with you. And if you're not here then you wouldn't be reading to this next chapter anyways. When Lewis was a baby I know we all know this but when he was a baby it was a dark stormy night his mother came to the orphanage and dropped him off in a box. Everything else looked kind of not exactly black and white but the only real bit of color was his spikey yellow hair. His mother heard a squeaking and turned to look for someone but no one was there. Of course at the end of the movie we learn that we'd gone back in time to show him his mother as he tried to get close to her to meet her but as he reaches out he decides he can't do it and pulls back and that's when he nearly slips and sends her away scaring her away leaving teen Lewis to knock on the door and get himself into the orphanage. Where Mildred heard the knocking and saw t he baby in the box but saw no one as she picked him up and held him in her arms looking around for someone anyone.

12 years later well ok 11 years later I was 12 I had just left home. Naturally Lewis is older than me by like quite a few given that we're in like 2006 by this point in the year I was first there and I came from 2037. But right now I'm older than him and then 2007 came the year its supposed to be. Do I miss my family? Of course I do. Am I still upset with my brother? I just want you to know its the other way around he hates me. Remember? He said so. I know now he didn't mean it he was just frustrated with me but my invention didn't work or maybe it did his words turned orange so they couldn't tell if they were a lie or the truth. But it had upset me enough to run away. Time after time of failed inventions and wanting to be just like our dad and never showing him anything until they were bug free which means he's never seen any of my inventions. G-D dad is so perfect and all I want is to be like him. At least we had science in common. And ok I looked like him. Long blond hair bright blue eyes. I looked more like dad and Wilbur was more like mom. And all I had do was make a wish and went to the past. Wonder why it took me there. I wanted to know what dad was like when he was my age and I ended up in the past in 2006 going on 2007 30 years from the year I'm from.

And what a year it had been. A house full of boys where I am the only girl. But its really not that bad. As predicted Lewis and I are good friends. And still my inventions fail. But so do Lewis's. So at least I'm not alone. We are quite the team. And at least I do all my inventing in my own room. So that means I get along with Michael. And there's something about him that looks familiar I just can't put my finger on it. There I was in my room (outfit 1) (bedroom) when I heard a car pull up to the orphanage. I walked out of my room and knocked on the door to Lewis's but he was in the zone. I looked at his invention and it looked so familiar to me. But if I'd said it did Lewis might think that was impossible because he had just invented it and then he might start asking questions. I wasn't quite sure what Michael aka Goob was talking about but he was dressed in a baseball uniform with his baseball stuff and he had bags under his eyes apparently their baseball team sucked and they had lost every game. But he had to use the airhorn to wake Lewis up as Lewis starred in awe I covered my ears so I wouldn't hear as loud. Lewis was so excited that he did it but of course there was nothing like saying adopt me like an invention. Both Mildred and Michael hoped this was the family he got adopted into. She stopped Lewis when she told him the couple was there she took the pencil out of his hair straightened his clothes and told him to sit up straight look them in the eye and to smile.

Come on Farrah. He pulled me along. What why? I always feel luckier when I have you next to me. That's nice Lewis. It's true I've come a long way since I first came here with my inventions and they've gotten better during this year alone because you're here. You're like my good luck charm. Hey Farrah there you are. Hi dad what are you working on? This was how every invention process of my dad's went. He'd work on something I would come see what he was working on. He would tell me and ask me for his help. And then tell me.... I just know it will work better with you by my side sweetheart. You understand me and my love for science. I've tried to share my world with your brother but he just he doesn't get it not interested in it like you are. Only seems to be interested in getting in trouble. But dad your inventions always work. Not always squirt he ruffles my hair. But I always feel luckier when you're by my side you're like my good luck charm. Farrah are you ok? Lewis frowns at me. He places a hand on my shoulder as I quickly wipe my tears away. I'm fine Lewis I just.... My dad said that to me a lot when he was working on a new invention and they did they always worked I was always so jealous because mine never work and I never showed them to my dad when they weren't ready so he's never actually seen any of my inventions.
