[lalala, Wilbur had just been on his merry way, when--

was that--]

Lewis?

[futureinventor]

Wilbur? [Okay, that was very unexpected.]

What are you doing here? Don't tell me you lost a time machine again. [But...that's didn't explain how he got here.]

1/2

[notatimecop]

I didn't lose the time machine!

2/3

[notatimecop]

...Okay, maybe I did.

[notatimecop]

But that's not the point here!

[It never is.]

[futureinventor]

You did-- [Sighs. Very. Exasperatedly.]

Wilbur, how could you lose the time machine again? After all that trouble we went through to get it back the first time--!

[Still not sure where they heck they even are, but he's more focused on the time machine right now.]

[notatimecop]

Hey, hey. I can't help it that this place up and decided to suck me out of the time stream!

[Fighting already.]

[futureinventor]

[Raising an eyebrow.]

What are you talking about, Wilbur?

[Clearly, he doesn't have a clue what's going on just yet.]

[notatimecop]

I had just left you, y'know. Sentimental moment, blahblah--and then when I left...I was here!

Not my fault.

[futureinventor]

[Okay, just give him a second.]

Wait. So you're saying, after you left, you just ended up here? [Pausing.] ...Where are we, anyways? And how did I end up here?

[notatimecop]

Exactly.

[He shrugs.] We're in some place called Vatheon. Beats me how we got here, but we can't get back out.

[futureinventor]

How long have you been here, then? Because for me, you left months ago.

[Pausing, frowning now.] We can't leave? But--!

[notatimecop]

Not long. A month, tops.

[He shrugs.] That's the name of the game, brother. Unless you put your awesome genius mind to work so we can figure it out.

[futureinventor]

Huh. That's weird. [Did this place transport them with it's own sort of time machine? That would be the only way they could be from different times like that, right?

Also, he rolls his eyes.] I can see what I can do, but I can't promise anything. I mean, I don't even know how we got here!

[notatimecop]

Well, that's for you to find out isn't it? I mean, you're plenty smart enough right?

[He grins.] Of course you are! So don't worry about it.

[futureinventor]

I guess so? This is just sounds really complicated, even for me. [He'll worry anyways.]
