"So. We're stuck in the middle of the ocean and you have no paddles? For a canoe? Really?" Ford asked Henry, thinking. "We won't be able to row with our hands, since you need yours to talk and I have no idea where the nearest land mass is."

Henry pondered as well. He had no options to choose from, and couldn't go back like he usually could. His teleporter was broken, not like it even worked, and so was his phone. He couldn't contact Charles or get his location pinpointed. He shook his head.

Suddenly. Screaming. And a big splash that shook the boat Henry and Ford were on.

"Awh, gee. Sorry, guys! I think I messed up the location." A small child, who couldn't be over 16 and wore a sweater vest and backpack, said, climbing out of the car that fell out of the car.

"No, the location was fine, followed the paper." A man in an orange and yellow fit responded, pushing himself out of the car. "Don't you have something inflatable in there?"

"Yeah! Can you get Cavendish out? I'll get the floater!" The kid grinned, taking his backpack to the side and digging in it. The one in orange pulled out 'Cavendish' who was wearing all green and had a weird hat.

The child took out a yellow, folded item which should not have fit inside the bag, and it self inflated. Ford was intrigued, Henry was blanked out.

[Go with them] [Stay on the raft]

Staying on the raft left the two to die of thirst. Replaying, Henry caught Ford's attention and gave a thumbs up. Unfortunately, or fortunately, Henry couldn't decide, his call to attention also alerted the trio.

"Who are you and why are you in the middle of the ocean?" Cavendish asked in a weird accent while climbing onto the raft that happened to fit into the backpack. Ford was still stuck on that, he'd have to write that down.

"We could ask you the same thing." Ford pointed out, speaking out whatever sass he knew Henry wanted to reply with.

"Our car missed the location in the time loop, which you should know about by now. Wait- what year did we land in? This is 2123, right?"

".. No. This is 2020. December 11th. Wh- what do you mean time loop? Are you guys Time Travellers?" Ford asked, translating the last question from Henry who was frantically signing.

"Ohh. Uh, yeah, we're time travelers. At least we got the location right, we just landed in the wrong year."

"So this is the future location of the Protected Mass Bridge? Cool!"

"Murphy, careful- your bag isn't closed." Cavendish pointed out, to which Murphy closed his bag.

"... so, we're stranded and without contact. Can you help us?" Ford asked, knowing how impatient Henry could be.

"Sure. I'm Dakota, by the way, old timey guy is Cavendish-"

"Hey!"

"- and the kid here is Milo."

"Hi!"

"So that leaves you." Dakota finished, reaching his hand out. Henry looked at his options.

[Go first] [Let Ford go first]

Going first popped the raft, due to the knives Henry had. Ford had a few layers between his weaponry and the raft so..

Henry gave his knife to Ford, who put it in his pocket. He was confused when they first met by the strange things the other did, but he knew why now. Ford took Dakota's hand and climbed aboard, pulling Henry along with him.

"I'm Ford. This is my current partner, Henry, he can't talk." Ford introduced, "I hunt for mysteries with my brother, but he wasn't available. This walking one was, though."

"What do you mean?" Milo asked, pulling a compass from his pocket and a paddle from his reopened and reclosed backpack. He handed a paddle to Dakota and the two started rowing.

"Henry can see options in front of him and can redo the same time frame any amount of times. That's why I went first and we got with you."

"THAT WAS YOU?!" Cavendish shouted, reminding the author of Geno shouting in the Christmas comic dub of Undertale, making Henry jump a bit.

"You've been messing with the time stream! I saw that in action! So cool!!" Milo grinned, thinking back to the time where the time stream had flickered.

"Henry doesn't know what you mean. And, same for me- what's the timestream?" Ford asked, looking in his jacket for his latest journal, #6. The fifth was with Stan.

"Do you think we could make this into a time raft? I brought a clock with me this time!" Milo showed off the clock with pride. Dakota ruffled the kid's hair and took the clock, handing it Cavendish.

[Break Ford's Watch] [Dodge] [Wrench]

Henry watched as the time traveller's took off the face of the clock in slow mo. All of a sudden, another time vehicle popped up above them.

After being crushed, Henry replayed. Dodge. Ford and Henry survived as they knew what was up. Replay.

Wrench. Sure. Why not. Henry handed the Wrench to Cavendish. Cavendish pulled apart the clock, extracting green juice and putting it inside the raft from the air nozzle.

Henry frantically waved his hands and pointed up. Dakota, unsure, looked up and saw the start of a time portal.

"Hurry, Cav!" Dakota called out, making Cavendish look up then quickly finish, bopping the nozzle closed and into the timestream they went.

"I think there's something weird going on. And no- not your,, law, kid. Even that wouldn't cause two of the same wrong time right place incidents." Dakota spoke, using his paddle to bring a few clocks, Henry thought it might be a joke, to the raft. "If only we could actually get out of here, now." Dakota handed the clocks to Milo.

"Hey! Even though time doesn't time here, should we tell some stories?" Milo asked, putting the clocks in his back pack and pulling out a album. "Remember when you guys thought I was a secret agent? I can't even act!" Milo laughed, grinning.

"That- that was all Cav!" Dakota defended, pointing at him in a pseudo angry way, which got Cavendish all defensive.

"I didn't know that he was just bad luck prone!" The two laughed, making Cavendish go >:(

"Secret.. agent? Why?" Ford asked, not paying attention to Henry looking off the edge of the raft, analyzing.
