Earthbound: Time Reflux

Ninten's Prologue

Ninten relaxed laying in the grass. A cool breeze blew over him and the sky was perfectly clear. This was one of those days where he could lay down all day without a care...except for whe-

"NINTEN!! NINTEN!! NINTEN!!!!!"

Ninten shot up slightly annoyed. His sisters had perfect timing whenever they called him. Ninten slowly got up and began walking to his house, still trying to enjoy the weather.

"Okay, I'm here. What did yo-

"Ninten can you make us sandwiches? Minnie asked.

"Yeah, Mom is napping and making sandwiches is complicated!" Mimmie exclaimed.

"Alright...I'll make them for you." Ninten agreed. After finishing the sandwiches and getting a thank you from his sisters, he grabbed a scarf and since he was heading for Snowman. He planned to meet Ana there for a short date.

"Going on another date Ninten?" Minnie pointed out.

"How did you know?" Ninten sarcastically retorted.

Ignoring the sarcasm, Mimmie said, "It's too warm here for a scarf."

"Great detective skills," Ninten replied. "Anyway, I'll see you went I get back."

"Okay," Minnie and Mimmie said together.

Ninten walked out of his house and into the fields to begin to activate Teleport when he felt a small tingle. He shrugged it off and tried to Teleport again, but he felt another tingle. He then looked back behind him and saw the ground ripple. After rubbing his eyes, he looked again. Nothing was there.

He started walking and sending a telepathic message to Ana, "Something here is wrong. I'm going to check it out, so I mi-" "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Ninten had fallen into one of the ripples without noticing. He was too focused on the message. Slowly, the dimensional ripples were becoming more and more common in both Podunk and Onett, endangering more people. But what exactly is causing these?

"Whoops, looks like I made a small booboo when I went back...but that doesn't matter now, does it?"
