(11:53 am)

The guys now arrive back to Elise's home after they brought everything with them back. As soon as he sees the couch, Bill lays flat on it.

Bill: "Ahh... I'm so tiredd!!"

Gustav: "It was only like 2 miles..."

Bill: "I get tired easily, okay??" He replies, a bit annoyed.

After some time Bill realizes how actually homesick he is as he is daydreaming about "the good times" while laying on the couch. He wants to experience again all the good memories. He's still worried about the fact that his band's fame is now pretty much gone, or it will be in a year or two. He's mostly worried about what his mom might be going through, he can only imagine the pain of your children going missing all of a sudden.

(Time skip)

(12:54 pm)

Bill now makes sure that everyone is asleep, after that he gets out of bed and quietly makes his way to Elise's workshop so he can get a hand of the device, but after he grabs it he looks down at himself and realizes that he's still in pajamas. He leaves the device on the table and quickly goes to change. He decides to not do his makeup nor his hair, as people may recognize him. He goes back to the office and grabs the device as he takes a deep breath before he opens it. The bright light shines out of the device as he opens it.

(2004, 26th September. Magdeburg, Germany. Currently 19:32 pm)

Bill wakes up near some buildings, he feels like he recognizes the place. As he looks a bit more he realizes it's his hometown. He keeps looking around as he smiles, remembering all the good times he spent in this area.
He walks away from the buildings and walks on the streets as the nostalgia hits him. He is safe now because of the timeline he chose as no one will recognize him either way here.
Bill doesn't necessarily want to do something, he just wants to experience that happiness once again...

As he walks peacefully, a woman was standing nearby on the street, smoking. Her clothing was pretty revealing and she was wearing a big fur coat. Her blonde hair is slightly blown by the wind as her plump, red lips touch the tip of the cigarette. She sees Bill walking by and smirks at him. She decides to grab his hand.

???: "Are you here alone, pretty boy?" She says in a seductive voice.

Bill gets startled by the random woman grabbing his hand. His eyes widen and his heart starts racing, the situation is awkward for him as she looks much older than him, he doesn't know what to do.

Bill: "No, my friends are a bit further away and I'm trying to catch up with them." He says with a nice smile as he tries to take his hand away.

???: "Your friends can wait, do you not have the decency to help a woman get her pleasure? Am I supposed to miss my chance?" She says as she touches his waist with her other hand.

Bill now gets even more uncomfortable, but he doesn't wanna be rude and push her away.

Bill: "I'm sorry but I think you should be hitting on people your age... How old are you, miss?"

???: "Me? Only 32, but who cares, you're so tall so you wouldn't mind it, would you?"

Bill gets terrified as he hears that, he tries to run away but the woman is holding him tightly so he can't.

Bill: "Ma'am, I'm 16, also I'm not interested."

The woman leans a bit more onto him.

???: "Age is just a number anyway..."

Bill: "Just leave me alone!!" He yells as he manages to get out of her hands and looks at her dead in the eye.

Bill looks at her for a few more seconds before he runs away quickly.

After some while he stops behind a grocery store and leans on a pillar to catch his breath.

*In Bill's mind*: "Damn, why the fuck was she interested in a minor?? I mean, why would anyone do that to someone they randomly saw on the street?? Creep..."

As Bill looks up and sees the automatic doors from the store open as some kids were exiting. He gets a better look of them and realizes that it's him with the rest of the band!
They have some groceries in their hands as they laugh around, then Tom brings a shopping cart to Bill. He sits in the cart as his brother drags him around. Everyone is happy, smiling and laughing. A smile appears on Bill's face as he watches. He remembers that day well. He continues watching the young versions of him and his band having fun as he sits on a bench nearby.
He gets really nostalgic about the whole situation...

He wishes he could warn them about what will happen next year, but he doesn't want to mess the timeline so he just leaves it like that.
He suddenly feels that his eyes start to water, he feels this pain in his chest, it hurts but it feels good at the same time. He keeps smiling as a tear falls down on the ground and he whispers to himself.

Bill: "Me, from back then, just believe in yourself... You will make it, and just... Be happy...!"

Bill then looks at the sky and back at the ground as his smile fades.

Bill: "Why... Did I want this anyway...?..... What was I made for...?"

He remembers the time when he first found his passion in singing, he remembers the happiness he felt back then, whatever happens he won't give up, not for his fans, but for his inner child. The child who wanted to sing all day long... The child who was happy.
...

After some time he wipes his tears and makes his way to a nearby bush so he can teleport back, as he doesn't want the others to find him or worry about him. He hides in the bush and looks around, then he opens the device as the bright light shines out of it once again and teleports him back to Elise's workshop.
After that the younger Tokio Hotel members look at the bushes from behind the store as they stop dragging around shopping carts.

Younger Tom: "You guys saw that light too... Right?"

Younger Bill: "Yeah..."

They all look at eachother and shrug as they continue their activities.

...

(2:12 am)

Bill looks at the clock and lets out a sigh of relief, he made it in time. He yawns because of how tired he is, this whole timeline thing is still kind of confusing to him, but at least he can manage it properly.

Bill puts the device back on the table and goes to change into his pajamas, then he jumps in bed, falling asleep immediately.
