We returned to Vorton, the other teams I sent looking very sorry for themselves. \u201cHeather was in Godzilla\u2019s universe too,\u201d I answered the unspoken question. \u201cShe had all the parts.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFirst Vortech, and now this!\u201d wailed Wyldstyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wouldn\u2019t go off half-cocked,\u201d I assured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNeither would I,\u201d replied 70-year-old me. She looked around. \u201cWhere\u2019s the old woman?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat old woman?\u201d asked Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe one older than me!\u201d answered 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEr, I think she found a way to her own time,\u201d remarked Lacey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat, was this lady someone from the future?\u201d asked Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeah, me at 200 years,\u201d I replied. \u201cThis lady\u2019s me at 70.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c70?!\u201d yelped Haitao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe can\u2019t be!\u201d protested Joshua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd Heather having another Apocalypse Driver will actually work out for us,\u201d commented 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHOW?!\u201d asked Haitao.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll explain later,\u201d I assured. \u201cIn the meantime, boys! Boys! It\u2019s time for\u2026where\u2019d they go?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWho?\u201d asked Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMoe, Larry, and Curly,\u201d I explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Three Stooges?\u201d asked Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYeah,\u201d I replied. \u201cThey were plucked up from their plumbing business and deposited in Godzilla\u2019s universe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t see the Stooges,\u201d answered Richard. \u201cAll I did was send our new plumbers to fix the leak. Er, that\u2019s plumbers as in pipe working, not intergalactic police officers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat leak? What plumbers?!\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere\u2019s a leak in the basement,\u201d replied Richard. \u201cThe plumbers looked very familiar. One of them was bald, as big as me, and spoke in a falsettoooooOOOOOH GOD!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYOU IDIOT! YOU SENT THE STOOGES TO FIX A LEAK!\u201d I shouted. We ran for the basement while 70-year-old me spoke with the other teams about our adventures there. We bumped into Mario, thank goodness. \u201cMario, how bad did the Stooges mess up the plumbing?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt\u2019s-a crazy!\u201d yelled Mario. \u201cIt\u2019s-a getting into the electrical systems! I-a turned on a light and the bulb burst-a with water!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow is that\u2026never mind!\u201d I sighed. \u201cAfter we chase them out of here, do you mind fixing it up?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSure,\u201d replied Mario. \u201cNo charge, given that you-a had to deal with idiots.\u201d He then grabbed a pipe wrench and made for the basement. We heard the commotion. \u201cHEY YOU IDIOTS!\u201d roared Mario. \u201cGET OUTTA HERE!\u201d The Stooges made their scared noises and started running around the basement until they ran up the stairs, bowling Richard and I over! Mario followed them and we followed Mario. He chased them into the Gateway room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGET THAT PORTAL OPEN!\u201d I ordered. \u201cTHE STOOGES ARE GOING HOME!\u201d X-PO opened a portal and Linda, Emily, and I punched the Stooges into the portal. After we made sure they were gone, Mario went to the basement to fix the damage. I then sat down on the Gateway pad as 70-year-old me continued from when the Kaiju-Riser made us grow as well as the Kaiju-men. When she finished, Emily had a wicked grin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, she\u2019s going to get an impure body?\u201d she remarked. She then turned to Lacey. \u201cSorry, I was just\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSave it,\u201d assured Lacey. \u201cI knew what you were going for. I understand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, where do we go after she starts building the belt?\u201d I asked my future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOutside After Academy,\u201d replied 70-year-old me. \u201cOf course, fight at your hardest. You don\u2019t want her finding out until it\u2019s too late for her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRight,\u201d I declared. I then noticed Professor Paradox with two other girls. They were of Japanese descent, but I could see some European traces, red hair and green eyes. I\u2019d say they were twins, given that they looked alike, aside from one wearing a large pink princess gown and the other dressing like she was a film noir detective. \u201cAnd who are they?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cKaede Hishikawa,\u201d answered the film noir girl in the film noir tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd I\u2019m Kaitlyn Hishikawa! Her twin!\u201d cheered the princess girl in a bubbly tone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think they figured that out,\u201d muttered Kaede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHishikawa?\u201d I asked. \u201cHiroki, are they relatives?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know! I never met them!\u201d remarked Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll see them again,\u201d assured 70-year-old me. \u201cI remember you in the hospital when they were born.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, so I was made an honorary uncle?\u201d asked Hiroki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNot honorary, Nee-san,\u201d corrected 70-year-old me. \u201cYou ARE their uncle. They\u2019re my daughters.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWait, my kids from the future are here?!\u201d I yelped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll make some beautiful kids!\u201d praised Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou\u2019re gonna help,\u201d supplied 70-year-old me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWait, what?!\u201d yelped Richard. His parents then started glaring at him. \u201cI swear, I never went that far with Megumi!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cQuit panicking!\u201d assured 70-year-old me. \u201cThey\u2019re born after we married!\u201d Richard and his parents then released their breath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThank goodness,\u201d he sighed. \u201cI thought I lost my man card.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, you help raise them,\u201d replied Professor Paradox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWait, if I marry Richard, why do my daughters take my last name?\u201d I asked. \u201cIn Japan and in most cases in the US, it\u2019s the wife that takes her husband\u2019s surname.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know,\u201d mused Richard. \u201cI\u2019d want my kids to take the surname of the most powerful family member. If she\u2019s your direct future and not a parallel one, I\u2019d say having your kids take your family name is all right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWell, if you\u2019re sure,\u201d I replied. I wasn\u2019t going to argue that point. \u201cSo, anyways, how did your escapades go?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur little trip had a successful secondary mission,\u201d remarked Xiomara. \u201cSludgiona is back with her people. They\u2019re in the new Tarlax 14 and are hearing tales of her adventures. She\u2019ll be coming here later.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, she\u2019s cured!\u201d I cheered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll you need to say is \u2018thank you\u2019,\u201d replied Emily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThank you?\u201d I asked. She started singing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What can I say except<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re welcome!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m just an ordinary Demi-guy!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDon\u2019t start THAT again!\u201d snapped Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSheesh, Aunt Emily\u2019s been like that since the beginning!\u201d remarked Kaede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHey, if it ain\u2019t broke, don\u2019t fix it,\u201d boasted Emily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, you ARE entitled to be that way,\u201d replied Professor Paradox. \u201cYou will be the one who delivers them soon as a\u2026never mind, that\u2019s too much.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn any case, congratulations,\u201d cheered Emily. \u201cI hope I get the chance to read to them when they were babies, like I did with Nell.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNell?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur cousin,\u201d explained Richard. \u201cEmily would read to her a lot when she was a baby. Cutest little thing you\u2019ve ever seen!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShe was a biter, though,\u201d warned Emily. \u201cEverything went right into her mouth. And somehow, looking at Nell made me think there was gonna be a girl in our family\u2019s future. I somehow figured it was Richard.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u2026What\u2019s THAT supposed to mean?\u201d asked Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat? Nothing,\u201d replied Emily. \u201cJust had a feeling, that\u2019s all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, I get it!\u201d snapped Richard. \u201cYour brother\u2019s too much of a wimp to have a son, is that it?! I know that\u2019s how you see it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, my g\u2026ARE YOU FOR REAL??!!\u201d shouted Emily. \u201cYou\u2019re such a paranoid fat-head! Emphasis on fat!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, you always make fun of me, Wide-load!\u201d answered Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOkay, give me a little credit here, Porky!\u201d snapped Emily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEMILY AND RICHARD SAUNDERS! NOT IN FRONT OF GUESTS!\u201d shouted Linda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCome on, you two, you\u2019re better than this!\u201d supplied Fred. Emily and Richard subsided and mumbled apologies to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWow, never heard Grandma raise her voice at them,\u201d said Kaitlyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cProbably too old to put up with it,\u201d said Kaede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMoving on,\u201d I said. \u201cEmmanuel, you and Xiomara need to tell us everything.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We returned to Vorton, the other teams I sent looking very sorry for themselves. \u201cHeather was in Godzilla\u2019s universe too,\u201d I answered the unspoken question. \u201cShe had all the parts.\u201d \u201cFirst Vortech, and now this!\u201d wailed Wyldstyle. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t go off half-cocked,\u201d I assured. \u201cNeither would I,\u201d replied 70-year-old me.
