Death Cannot Be Predicted

"Hi, Dr. Cole! I'm Celine. You asked me to meet you today." She introduced herself politely. "Get inside the lab! We can talk there." Dr. Cole instructed in a cold tone. Celine felt the chills coming up through her spine. Dr. Genius is a hunk! A cold one for that matter. She can't take her eyes away from his beautiful face. His chiseled chin makes him masculine and his eyes make him adorable. Even the crest of his nose suits him very well. "You never had any lab experience. How can you call yourself a scientist?" Dr. Cole's voice echoed from the walls of the laboratory. "I have a major in Biology and Psychology. My experience is from the college lab. I graduated top of my class." She boasted a little bit.

Welcome to the Future

Dr. Cole's laboratory looks different from what Celine can remember. It wasn't this big a month before she visited for her interview. But she can't deny that it looks more like a scientist's lab now. She almost forgot that she's still mourning Derek's untimely demise. "Don't look so surprised! We're in the future now, which is the year 2030." Dr. Cole reminded her.  "Right, I can't believe that your time machine really works, Dr. Cole," Celine replied. "Please just call me Drake. I hate formalities between me and my assistant." He suggested. Celine looks at the scientist to see if he seriously means it. Even though they are now in the future, he is still the same cold Dr. Genius. He even dragged her to his lab

Underground City

After being disappointed about the future, Celine's eyes widened as she entered one of the one-floor buildings. Chad brought her to the mall and explained to her that the buildings now are inverted. The reason behind it is the rise of flying cars and giant mushrooms. Now that they are taking the tube elevator to go down to the restaurant area, she can't believe that she's seeing the futuristic look of this building. It's underground and you can see a preview of every floor. They were able to take off their gas masks since it's already safe. She realized that they are wearing some dorky gas masks compared to other people around. It's embarrassing but she just comforts herself about the fact that no one will recognize her anyway. She was stuck from home for a long time trying to be a good academic writer.

She saw the three large metal boxes and now she's standing in front of them. Chad opened the first one with his name on it and there's his avatar. He turned it on and greeted them like a real person. "Good morning beautiful people!" The avatar said while the real Chad is smiling widely. "Good morning, Chad 2! Please go to your charging dock. You need to get fully charged!" Chad instructed.  The avatar walks towards the charging station and lays down on the charging dock. It closes its eyes as if it's sleeping. Celine was impressed with how the A.I. looks so real in the future. A

All they have to do is to apply the technology in the future and it should be ready for testing. Since they are already in the future, it doesn't take long before the technology is already applied to the device. It looks like a smartphone with the ability to make calls and time travel. Dr. Cole made the device that way in case of any unforeseen events during the time travel. Celine is still trying to settle this year but now, they have to go back to the present time. But of course, they are still going back to the future to start the mass creation of the device. Currently, they only have two since it's only for testing purposes.

Celine asked. "That's the year I started building my first time machine," Drake replied. "Wait, how old are you?" She asked because she's confused about his history.

The Y2K

They arrived in the year 2000 without any problems. Thankfully, the Y2K bug was already fixed during the time of Drake's chosen date. Celine remembered the rumors surrounding it when she's just ten years old. She's more concerned about her game console during that time.  But now that they are back to the past, they will be able to change what they did wrong before. She only realized that Drake was also ten years old during this time. They are the same age and now, she worries that Drake might have miscalculated his age before going back. "Ahm...Drake, I just realized that we're only ten in 2020." Celine told the doctor. The horrified look on Drake's face is priceless! It's unbelievable that a genius like him miscalculated his past age. He put his palm on his forehead as
