"Karen. Wake Up!"

"No mom, I hate mondays. Let me sleep.."

"Karen!"

I suddenly woke up.

Oh.

"Sorry. George, right?"

I miss my family. But if I don't do this then, they're going to die and it would be my fault and I wou-

"Stop. Day. Dreaming. And. Listen."

"I'm so sorry, just a little lost in my mind. What was it?"

"I said, the device is working that means we are going to get those diamonds. Today."

What?! Today?

"Whaaat?"

"You heard me, Ms. Karen. Today."

"I know you dumbass, you mean the time travel shit thingy works?"

"Yup"

"Whoa.. Where did you find a time travelling device anyway?"

"We can't tell you personal information, so stop asking questions and get ready. Your clothes are ready and packed."

Wow so this is really happening.

I quickly check my outfit for the 'travel from the past' journey.

"Wow, vintage.."

I love it! It was a very dirty standard women's dress with the usuals like, bonnet, hankercheif, chemise, apron, petticoat, corset and a bodice 'V' shape.

There are more dresses of course since this time travelling would take some time, of course I would need clothes to fit in there.

I packed the things I would bring.

I'm ready. I feel like a star from a hollywood movie about to take creepy villans and time travelling to save the world and shit.

But no. This trip, I won't save the world but save these guys world and my family of course!

"Are you ready?"

"Not really but I'm fine, let's go."

We headed upstairs to where the other guys are.

Now it's time.

"Susan! Is it ready?" George said.

"Almost just doing some re-touches."

While working on those re-touches, I sat and talked to Ryhan. He didn't even say a single word to me. He only stared very coldly. Yuck.

I also saw this 'prototype 1' they're talking about and she's just fine. Didn't talk to her but atleast the fucking device is working.

----

"There!" Susan said.

"Is it finished? Should I call Karen?"

"Not yet. But listen to me, don't let her be away from you. She would be a little shocked and would feel quite lost because it's the fucking 1800s. If she dies, it's going to be over for us. Are you listening, Georgie?"

"Yes. Indeed."

"Call her now." Susan said.

George pulls the door.

"Get ready. We"re leaving in 5 minutes."

"Okay then."

A part of me is excited. A part of me is scared because it would be a very foreign land, and I won't be in 2018 anymore! Can you believe that..

----

"Karen!"

Oops suddenly took a five minute nap time.

"Coming!"

"Did you set the coordinates, Sus?"

"Yes, George. I'm typing it."

"Here."

The time travelling device was a piece of pen?! What?

Pen?

"What is this?"

"The device."

"This ain't a device, this is a pen."

"A pen that would take us to different years and decades. To the future and to the past. Now can most ball pens do that?"

"N-no"

"Good then shut up."

The pen suddenly vibrates.

Then. Oh God. Wait. Wait!

"What the fuuu-"

I popped.

What is this.

I- I. Is that a flying car? Oh my lord.

People are wearing white. All white.

Oh there's a person walking, might as well ask him.

"Excuse me sir, what is the date today?"

"August 12, 2096"

"Holy shit?!"

"Holy what? Ma'am?"

I disappeared and popped again.

I don't even need to ask, this place screams the early 2000s.

Disappeared again.

Popped again.

Well there's no cars? So before 1885?

Yes, I think so the first cars we're introduced on 1885-1886..

Disappeared again. Now back in the room with Susan and friends.

"This thing is malfunctioning! I can't use that!"

"I know. I'll fix it just a little more and then we could continue with the mission, eh?"

"Whatever." I sighed.

They better fix that device, I don't want to be stucked in the past or future, all because of that..

Broken device..

But atleast because of this delay, I can now finally continue my important nap time.

Until of course. I was forced to wake up after, 25 minutes to be exact on my timer and my watch.

"What is it?"

"Karen. We fixed it. We can go now."

"Ohhh. Okay okay no problem. Let's go?"

"Yeah.. Let's go."
