THIS ISN'T THREED... )
What was with that sound he made after the comment about Dr. Andonuts? How much did he know about him? Great, did his older self bring all his Daddy issues with him? That was... fantastic.
Maybe if he ignored the subject it would go away.
"Oh... In that case, if we get it back into one piece, I might be able to figure out how to make it fly again! And then... Hopefully fly it back through time, I guess..."

There was really nothing particularly stunning about the old Skyrunner, especially now that it had crashed. Falcon had admittedly never seen a time machine, but he was pretty sure they didn't look like this. Of course, that begged to question what exactly had happened to cause this paradox in the first place.
"Do you know why it crashed?"

"Da... Um, Dr. Andonuts said it was pretty old, and there wasn't a lot of time to patch it up before takeoff. Or learn how to land it safely." Jeff had a sinking feeling it had more to do with him than his father.

"First time flyer?"

"Yeah, I... I've never even left Winters before." Before his wacky adventure began, he'd never even been much further than Lake Tess. He rubbed the back of his head, hoping he would sound impressive by adding, "I know how to ride a Skidoo! But it's not the same at all..."

"Let's go grab some tools. There should be some extras in the autoshop room."

Autoshop room. Snow Wood didn't have one of those but he could hazard a guess as to what it contained. Auto...mobiles. CARS. There were none of those in Winters, either. He heard rumours that the old Headmaster kept one around in his youth but there were no roads to drive it on. But if it was true, where was that car now? Tessie drove it around the bottom of the lake, obviously.
Maybe he would get to touch a real life car. And peek under the hood. This was all so very exciting, and Jeff leapt from his seat, his mood obviously much brighter than it was a few moments ago.
"Lead the way!"

What was in the autoshop room was a veritable mess of works-in-progress from students, teachers, and otherwise. Pieces of cars and motorcycles and flying machines littered the garage, with tools and blueprints scattered everywhere, and a suspicious brown smear on one of the walls that was totally motor oil and not blood. Nope.
Falcon made a beeline for a large, blue toolbox. "Here we are."

THIS WAS THE BEST SCHOOL EVER.
Oh. But he'd have to leave it and go back to his own time. Oh yeah... At least he knew he'd get to see this all again when he was older. Even if it meant waiting a few years. Sigh.
