Just Wait a Minute

2

I smile at the warm scene in front of me. It was a rainy day and lily and her apparent two older brothers were all watching a movie on the couch cuddled up together.

There was Lukas and Nate, Lukas with dirty blonde hair and light brown eyes, and Nate with dark brown hair and light brown eyes. It seemed everyone in the Miller family had light brown eyes, but the dad's were a darker shade.

They were watching a movie with a house that had several multi-colored balloons lifting it up into the air.

The picture sent a homey vibe that I'd never felt before, and I could really get used to it.

I scrolled through the phone, wishing more and more that I could have what she had.

"Time to go." My dad said, tightening his tie, "we're going to see the complete result of what everybody's been working on at my work."

Okay. Maybe I exaggerated and my life isn't all doom and gloom, and maybe my dad isn't a terrible person. I'm just one of those teenagers that are going through a phase where they don't like their parents.

"Come on!" He encouraged, clapping his hands to improve my pase. 

I put my tie on as slow as possible just to annoy him. He glared at me unimpressed, and seemed even more unimpressed when I tied it wrong.

"What am I supposed to do with you Leo?" My father asked as he finished tying my tie.

I shrugged and stumbled out the door.

"Did you just trip on air?" My father laughed.

I scowled and continued my descend down the stairs. I studied the art on the walls. I actually like to paint myself, but was terrible at it. I'd be something I'd like to practice in the future.

"Can I help you with anything sir?" My bot Gary asked.

"No."

"You can always tell me what it is you need sir, no judgement."

"You can't judge, you're a robot." I patted him on the head, and walked out to the car.

You'd think after centuries we'd finally have invented flying cars. Well, if you did think that, you thought wrong.

Me and my dad jumped in, and made our marry way to the A&C presentation.

{•_•}

My dad wasn't in the presentation of the thing he'd been working on at work because he'd only played a small part in making it. He told me only the creator of the invention would be presenting it.

We walked into the stadium like area and searched for our assigned seats that were supposedly on the top floor. Once found, we sat down in our assigned seats that were, in fact, on the top floor. Remember that old movie Harry Potter? Well it looked like the quidditch stadium from the fourth movie with Victor Krum.

The whole province was here, and it was really dark. Suddenly everything went completely dark, all but one spotlight in the middle of the stadium. There was also a giant T.V. screen so we could see the stage more clearly.

"Welcome ladies and gents," said the man in the spotlight. "I am your very own A&C, Analyse and Creat, president James AKA the creator of this project. Prepare to have your minds blown and the feature unfold before your eyes. Or should I say... The past?"

This received gasps from the whole crowd. James had green eyes and blonde hair, his dark green eyes giving him a mysterious vibe. He walked around the stage, the spotlight moving with him, to reveal a large box with a sheet on it.

Preparing his hand to pull off the sheet he said, "I introduce to you..." With the sheet being pulled off he breathed, "time travel."

The Crowd cheered as James continued. "How many of you would like to experience a day or two in the 21st century?" The crowd cheered even louder, "How many of you a month? Or a year?" The crowd got louder and louder with each word, but got completely silent with his last five whispered words, "Or how about a Lifetime?"

James looked around the completely full stadium, daring anyone to even make a peep.

I looked around me to see everyone else's reactions, when I met the eyes of a little girl that couldn't help but remind me of Lily.

Lily.

If I got picked, I was going to meet Lily.

Oh my gosh.

When he spoke again, his tone was dead serious. "We have, selected a family to be the first to travel through time. Each member of this family will get a time watch, they can travel back in time, to any time, anytime they want. Confusing right?" He smirked at the camera, recording what we saw on the screen.

"The family that was picked will have a week to prepare for their departure, and from there on out will be required to record footage of the past world they will be living in."

More spotlights roamed the stadium of now silent people.
"And we have selected...."

Nervous butterflies erupted in my stomach the spotlights centred on one small family, a father and his son, both with red hair and brown eyes, feeling as if they were about to faint.

"You." James pointed to the red-headed family I could see on the screen that I had just described.

Oh wait,

That was me.
