SheZow Reboot

Season 1, Episode 9: Meet DudePow

"I told you that hot chocolate in a warm weather like today can cause nausea and stomachache, but no, you did not listen, ans look what is happening..." Kelly nagged while holding a wet handkerchief against Maz's forehead. The boy looked rather dizzy, leaning against the wall. "Guy!" she called her twin, who responded with a "what?" expression. "Could you please get some drinking water here?" she handed him a few bucks and returned to helping Maz to keep standing - unfortunately, there was nowhere to sit down, even near museum's bathroom.

Guy nodded and headed to the museum's food counter. The mess he and others got into was bugging him. Today he decided to go to the museum once again and check on the Time Machine, to avoid any further accidents with time travel. But on the way, he and Maz got hungry and pleaded Kelly to give them money to grab a snack. Kelly was the only one parents could trust money with, and after hours of pleading she gave up. Guy ordered him a double meat burger and an orange juice - surprisingly, it was enough to not trigger another lecture of healthy eating by Kellly, - and Maz ordered an extra cheese burger and large hot chocolate. Boys ate and were happy and full, until Maz got nauseous from overheat, caused by hot chocolate and hot weather outside.

Guy finally bought a bottle of cool water and brought it to his sister and friend. After drinking, Maz felt better.

"Thanks, guys..." he said. "I'm sorry it got so bad".

"Don't worry, man" Guy patted him.

"So, back to what we came here for?" asked Kelly with visible enthusiasm. Guy could tell she just liked being in such place, so now she's hyped to go around it once again.

"Yeah, back to goal" said Guy, smiling. "Maz, you better stay with Kelly, you check the left side. I go for the right. We catch up in the end of the hall, 'kay?"

"Gotcha" replied Maz, and kids went on.

Guy passed one exhibition one after another. One was filled with gems, and near them, the familiar professor Lorey was holding his show, claiming they were discovered in the whole sunken city. Other was full of paintings, and the familiar curator lady with red jacket was explaining to the flock of kids around stuff about the artists and painted personas. That one Guy passed quickly, not wanting to drag her attention - she could still remember him from the past visit. Another one exhibition was about historical houseware. Next one was about dinosaurs - this one Guy specifically passed slowly, he had a slight like of dinosaurs since he was small. Soon he approached the scientific discovery exhibition, where the Time Machine was supposed to be. His attention was dragged by other exhibits there - a lot of discoveries, from potato charger and first typing machine to the electric chair and robot prototype. Eventually, he reached the end of the exhibition... With the Time Machine nowhere to be found. Guy looked around once again - but saw none of it.

"Looking for something, kid?" Guy quickly turned to the voice to see the old janitor passing by.

"Yeah, I heard there is supposed to be a Time Machine, but I don't see it..." Guy replied.

"Ah, that huge dust collector" the old man said. "It was discarded not long ago" these words brought shock to Guy.

"W-what?!" he exclaimed. "But why?"

"See, the scientists came to check on it, with ones who created it. But somehow, it wasn't working at all, even tho the creators set the engine before placing it in the museum. They thought it needs time to actually begin working, but then it just was broken to the point of not even revving up. Scientists were disappointed, creators were shamed, and the machine was signed for discarding. It was brought to the disposal yard not long ago..."

"Where is that yard?!" Guy almost shouted at the old man. He looked kinda scared, pointing to the hall entrance.

"Just behind the building..." he replied. "You'll see the hall with the sign..."
