Bizarre Visions

Chapter 01

"Even though I'm not either a 90s kid or a baby, but is it okay for someone who was born just right after it ended love it, too?" I asked.
Aurora Ogner, who was born in 1993, turned around at me and said, "Sure. Anybody could love the 90s even if you weren't born there, or was a kid in that time. Okay, Shiloh?"
I felt happy that Aurora is like a sister to me, even though we're only cousins. Also, she knows that I'm about to time travel to the years of 1992-1996 with my other cousin, Stephanie. "Well, you know it's important to us, because we never experience the 90s like you do," I explained. "But at least the time machine let us to."

Aurora turned around again and gave a wonderful speech saying, "Well, something's about to get important. I just love the past, I love to imagine it... Imagine all the things of what all this is like in person... Imagine being suddenly waking up twenty or so years ago and think, 'How do I get here? What year is it?' People will answer this, '19-something.' Just meet someone who understands that intelligent mind and that knows what the future is really like. They won't tell it immediately, they know you're a human being like them."

I instantly agreed on what she says. She is a big fan of the 1960s, 1980s, and even the 1990s, too.

As we walked alongside a busy street in a big North American city (in that case, that's Toronto, but Chris and Martin Kratt, and maybe Allison Baldwin refers it as it is in Kratts' Creatures) in 2023, and people were walking their dogs, getting to work, eat breakfast, drink coffee, etc. "Hey, Bax!" I greeted myself to a friendly French bulldog while Aurora were watching a giant screen on a huge building in the city's square. While Aurora and I were trying to find a McDonald's for us to eat breakfast here, there was a news report that there are mysterious booms being heard last night. Well, it's only our time machine making the noise to produce wormholes. We found a McDonald's restaurant, order our breakfast, and go back to the house.

We were walking to our house, Aurora questioned me about the 80s. "Who made the most iconic 80s teen movies? What movie has River Phoenix, Wil Wheaton, and Corey Feldman in it? How many of the greasers did you see on The Outsiders movie poster?" These are fairly easy, because I'm in the 80s fandom since I was 14. So, I immediately answered her, "John Hughes. Stand By Me. There are seven greasers." Every time that I answered it, Aurora says that I'm correct.

As we got closer to our house, a lady who was in her forties and was walking her Golden Retriever about 600 feet away from us looked familiar. Aurora knows her, as Stephanie and I don't, because we're from Georgia (The Peach State one). I asked Aurora how she knows that familiar lady, and she answered that Allison Baldwin, is her sister's best friend and always babysit her when she was little while she was on track to wherever Chris and Martin went.

"Mrs. Baldwin!" Aurora happily greeted. Allison still looks great and still have the intelligent mind and caring about animals, even when she's only 43 years old. "Aurora? You're grown up! How old are you?" Mrs. Baldwin chuckled. Aurora answered her, "I'm only thirty years old now, All." The amazement in that lady's eyes when she heard that the child she used to babysit is now an adult. Even myself, that I'm only 23 years old and Stephanie, who is at the fresh age of 21.

"Aurora, who is that orange haired girl right here? She looked familiar." Mrs. Baldwin asked with curiosity. Aurora immediately answered her, and said, "Oh, that's my cousin from Macon, Georgia. Her and her cousin recently moved here last month." Mrs. Baldwin was again with curiosity and asked what my name is and Stephanie's name is. "My name is Shiloh, and my other cousin's name is Stephanie." "Shiloh and Stephanie, what pretty names... I remember when her and her cousin went back to 1995 and Shiloh has a huge crush on one of the guys. I wonder how Georgia was like, even though I been there about five or six times in my lifetime, and the guys been there a whole bunch of times." Mrs. Baldwin asked.
