“Oh stop talking” Matilda groaned tiredly, covering her ears with her pillow but the electronic parrot kept singing.
“He is always angry because his own children missed hiiiiisss” the electronic parrot hissed on the floor after Matilda attacked with her shoe which she threw at it.
“Gross” she sighed heavily, climbed down from the bed and headed out of the room barefooted. Scratching her messed up hair, she headed down to the dinning.
“She’s out, she’s awake” Steve said slowly as Matilda was approaching the family.
“Mum, I didn’t tell you anything” Will whispered to their mother.
“It’s okay darling, I got this”
“Mum” Will simpered slowly.
“Hey sweetheart, are you…did you just come out of your room barefooted?” their mother asked, staring at her legs.
“It’s Will’s fault, his parrot can’t stop singing some Will’s kindergarten rhymes” Matilda yawned.
“You killed her with your shoes?” Will looked at her.
“What do you mean ‘Her? it’s my shoes and it didn’t’ kill it, it’s still breathing or maybe choking” she replied.
“Matilda!” Mrs. Brooks breathed out heavily.
“Mum what…? I’m still inside the house, I didn’t go outside bare-footed”
“That’s a bad habit” Steve joined.
“What the fuck is bad habit?”
“You killed Will’s parrot with your shoes and you came out of your room on bare foot, that’s a bad habit. What if we had a visitor?” Steve asked.
“Fuck anybody visiting this house this early morning”
“Language Matilda” Mrs. Brooks called.
“Yes mum” Matilda winked.
“That was your brother’s favorite pet”
“It’s an electronic parrot mum, it was constructed by a hand, not like it’s a real parrot. Only real animals are called pets”
“It was constructed by me, I made it myself” Will said slowly.
“Oh!” Matilda stopped talking.
“Apologize to him Matilda” Brooks looked at Matilda.
“Pssst I assume” Steve chuckled.
“Fine, I’m sorry for breaking your precious parrot but don’t you ever leave that in my room again”
“Good morning sunshines”
“Hi dad” Matilda smiled to her dad who was climbing down the stairs. Knotting his tie.
“Oh my…Matilda are you on bare foot?”
“I’m gonna go to the bathroom and clean my teeth” Matilda smiled weirdly, heading out.
“Clean up fast, you and Steve are staying at the Café today” Mrs.Brooks said.
“Fine’ Steve replied angrily.
“Jesus! Today is gonna be the worst day of my life” Matilda sighed.
“Hi son?”
“Hi dad” Steve replied.
“What’s with the long face Will?” Brooks looked at Will.
“Matilda broke his parrot” Mrs. Brooks said as she was helping him with his tie.
“That’s not good, why don’t you just…
“What are you trying to say?” Mrs. Brooks whispered to him.
“I was gonna promise him that we will both fix it when he is back from school” he whispered back.
“Okay that’s a great idea” she agreed.
“Yeah”
“Okay go on and tell him that” Mrs. Brooks whispered and Steve scoffed.
“Ummmm Will, I was gonna say, why don’t you go to school first and come back, then we will talk about it. Maybe I can aid you in fixing it back”
“Really” Will smiled.
“Off course off course yeah! Really!” Brooks smiled too.
“Thanks dad”
“Two minutes till the bus arrives, come on honey, let’s go wait for you angry driver” Mrs. Brooks said, grabbing Will’s back-pack.
“Mum are you gonna come by at the café?” Steve asked her while she was leaving.
“I don’t think so, I’m meeting with your dad at a different café”
“A different café? Are you guys going on a date again?”
“I think so…yeah” she replied and headed out with Will.
“Oh come on you both are married for Christ’s sake” Steve groaned.
“And who told you that couples don’t go on date?”
“Couples don’t go on date dad”
“Welcome to the twenty-first century son”
“It’s illegal, it’s totally illegal”
“Who said it’s illegal?” Brooks chuckled.
“It should be illegal, it should totally be illegal” Steve scoffed.
“Welcome to the twenty-first century again son, your life your rules” he chuckled again.
“Be at the café with Matilda? She’ll use me and do the whole serving work” Steve complained.
“You both will get along very well today, I assure you that. After all she is your sister and she knows that you are her brother too” Brooks said leaving the house.
“Dad she has a date today, she won’t stay with me” Steve said out loudly.
“You will tag along, I promise. I better go catch my own bus before it’s too late”
“We have a car dad” Steve added slowly.
“Take it with you to the café, I’m boarding today” he replied and banged the door. Steve sighed heavily.

The Key
Dustin followed Molly after a long stare at Steve and met her sitting on a little chair in the secret room which leads to the underground. He sighed and breathed down heavily after putting his hands in his trouser pockets. He quietly sat on the ground besides Molly and cleared his throat. Molly looked at him and focused on the picture she was watching.“You know you can talk to me about anything anytime right?” he looked at her.“We didn’t grow up well like other kids” Molly said slowly.“What? Why’d you say that?” “You said I can talk to you about anything anytime”“That’s not what I meant”“I know” she chuckled and Dustin joined her.“I’m sorry” she said and Dustin looked at her.“About what?”“For not telling you about Cebus. Cebus… Cebus is like, my lifetime dream. I could even meet Billie Eillish there or more celebrities there” she added and sighed down.“Yeah”“I couldn’t have done what I did… I could have told you first before dad.

Steve and Dustin came to the parlor and met Molly drinking and watching television.“Is that vodka?” Dustin was surprised.“Uhmmm” she sighed and took a short sip.“When did you start… uh ‘Scream?” Dustin eyes caught the television.“Yeah, the first one was really great, the rest sucks” she replied with a soft breath.“We found something” he said to her and she looked at him, then to Steve who was standing beside Dustin, holding the device.“What?” she said to Dustin.“I said we found something… something in some underground warehouse in one of the room in…”“Dust what? I ain’t seeing anything that is worth finding and telling me. Are you tryna ruin my mood or what? Is that it?” Molly stared aggressively at Dustin.“Oh my God Molly” Dustin scoffed confusedly.“Yeah I thought so”“No Molly!” Dustin exclaimed.“That’s possible”“It’s liturgical and annoying”“It’s what?” Molly stared at him.“No… we… we really did find something… useful” Steve stammered.

“Ok fine, I am fed up already” Molly exclaimed, packing her purple hair with a purple rose bow.“They have gone for a long time now” Dustin stared at her, standing at akimbo.“They? Matilda’s been kidnapped and you… who are they actually… you are talking about?” Steve turned to Dustin.“My mum, my past mum”“She’s fine. Even if she… she’s… she’s just fine”“Time travel is crazy” Molly added and sighed slowly.“Where are your parents after all?” Molly asked and stared at Steve.“Ion know” Steve answered weakly and relaxed comfortably on the sofa.“Tired of this shit… no video games?” Dustin asked Steve.“Lemme check” he stood up from the sofa and headed to one of the rooms in the house.“I’mma… follow him and go check something with him… maybe a clue or maybe ummmm…”“Whatever” Molly said and interrupted Dustin who was standing and ready to follow Steve. They got to one of the closed rooms and Steve opened it’s door.“What is this place?” Steve asked.“What? I don’t know, I s
10,000 Bucks
Eunice arrived at the Brooks family and gave a loud and annoying knock on the door. But before coming, she ran to the lab to check if the time machine that brought Matilda and Dr. Peter to 2005 is still in the lab but to her surprise, the machine was gone. She was disappointed and annoyed. She waited for few seconds and repeated the knock.‘Hello!’ she called loudly and the door opened immediately.‘Eunice?’ Mrs. Brooks was surprised to see her.‘What happened to you? Did you age in one night?’‘I time travelled’ she replied and headed inside.‘You time traveled?’ Mrs. Eunice asked confusedly, closed the door and followed her.‘Yeah I did… wait are you always pregnant?’ Eunice asked her and the little Matilda met them. Eunice stared at her for a while and took her stare to Mrs. Brooks face.‘Is that… is that Matilda?’ she asked her.‘You can tell’‘Where’s the adult Matilda?’‘What do you mean… where’s the adult Matilda?’’ Mrs. Brooks stared at her, confused.‘Yeah… where’s
Holy Shit
‘Bitch’ Eunice sighed heavily when she realized that she has travelled back to 2005. First, she rushed to her closet to check if the box could be there, it wasn’t.‘Eunice is that you?’ Dr. Peter asked her and was startled, scared.‘I have been waiting for you for the past forty minutes, I knew you would come back’ he said with a faint smile on his face.‘Are you kidding me?’‘No I’m not, you know… some things are just meant to happen and we all, I mean.. you and I knows that’‘Give me the clock Peter’‘You look old Eunice, did you switch with your past self?’‘Peter’‘That’s very smart of you.
