AC : Elaine!?? Alvendro!?? Huh.. Where are
they going..?
EL : Yeah? What’s wrong, Mom?
AC : Can you help me tidy your dad’s lab?
AH : Ugh.. Okay, Mom.
EL : Mom…, who will take us there?
AC : It should be…, your auntie, Vania, or
maybe my friend, Jonathan.
AH : I hope we won’t wait for it too long.
VV : Hi Chika! Hi guys! Let’s go. Jona is
waiting for us in the car.
AC : Bye.. Be careful dear~
EL+AH : Bye mom..
(Elaine, Vania, and Alvendro get out
of the stage)

(At the Lab)
VV : Don’t touch your father’s tools. Tidy
those books. I’m going upstairs and Jona is gonna be here.
JN : I will take care of them. Don’t worry
too much. They’re adults anyway..
(Vania gets out of the stage) (Alvendro
sees the box)
AH : What is this? I think this thing wasn’t
here before.
EL : What’s in the box? (approaches Alvendro)
AH : A watch!??! Why is it here? I’ve never
seen this watch.
EL : Is it Dad’s?
JN :
Yes, it’s his. Do you know how it works? Your father made it by himself.
AH : Of course we don’t!
EL : Show us how it works! I want to see
it!
JN : You can see the steps in this book.
Your dad wrote it.
(Jona gives them a book and leaves the
stage)
AH : It’s written here. It says that this
watch is a…. Time machine??
EL : Really? I know that this isn’t real.
AH : If you don’t believe me, just read this
by yourself!
(Ven gives Elaine the book and Elaine
reads it.)
EL : Wha—this isn’t a joke, right?
AH : Ha—! Told you so!
EL : Let’s try this! That means we can see
Dad again, right?!
AH : Are you crazy?! Don’t do that! You’ll
mess with the timeline!
EL : J-Just try it for once! I want to see
him!
AH : …Okay, then. Let’s try this thing
together.
(Vendro fiddles with the watch carefully
and Vania comes to the stage)
VV : Kids…? Where are you? Kids?! Kids!!
Jonathan!!
JN : Yeah? What’s wrong?
VV : Alvendro and Elaine are gone! What
should we do?!
JN : Oh…
VV : What?
JN : …Nothing! Let’s find them together.

January
25, 2158
AH : Let’s check the date on the watch. Oh!
We did it! It’s January 25th 2158!
EL : Let’s find Dad!
EL : It should be when Dad was a college
student.
AH : But how do we get into his university?
EL : I don’t know. Wait.. Who is that guy?
I think I know that face. It looks like.. dad!!??!
AH : What?! Really?! Could it be…he is Dad
in this timeline?!
EL : I don’t know, but they kind of
look-a-like.
AH : Let’s follow him!
(Ven and Elaine follow Theo around and
Theo drops something)
AH : He drops something! Look! It’s an ID
card!
(Elaine takes the ID Card)
EL : (Gasp)
It’s really him! (Whisper)
TJ : Excuse me.. I think it’s mine.
EL : Ugh? I-I am sorry sir. (Give the card back)
TJ : Thank you.. Where are your parents?
AH : Oh!? … One of our parents is a professor
in your university.
TJ : So you are going to meet your parents,
aren’t you?
EL : Y-yes..
TJ : I can bring you there.
AH : Thank you da- Ugh? Sir..
EL
: So, what are you studying, sir?
TJ : Just, please call me TJ. ‘Sir’ sounds
too old for me. By the way I’m studying physics here. It’s so interesting. I
want to be a scientist and discover more about time dimension. If I can invent
the time machine, It’ll be the greatest invention in the world! Imagine if we
could travel through time..
EL : (whisper)
so that’s why he invented this time machine.
TJ : What are you guys talking about back
there?
AH : It—it’s nothing…
TJ : Please listen to me when I’m talking
here.
AC : Oh, hey there!
EL+AH : (Gasp)
AC : Eh? Who are those kids?
TJ : They’re the professor’s children…I
think.
VV : They’re so cute! Are you guys siblings?
EL : Yeah… he is my brother…
VV : Oh my, Chika, the girl looks like you!
AC : What are you talking about?
TJ : Not again, Vania. I’m tired of your
joke.
VV : Don’t be like that, I’m just joking
here!
JN : What did I miss?
VV : Aww, you miss everything good here!
AC : I’ve gotta go. Bye!
VV : Okay, then! See you later!
JN : Wait, who are these kids?
TJ : The professor’s kids.
JN : They kinda look like you..?
TJ : Meh, whatever.
JN : So…what are they doing here?
TJ : They asked me to guide them the way to
their parent.
JN : Okay, I’m going to the class. Don’t be
late. Bye!
TJ : No. Stay here and help me guide these
kids. We’re gonna be late.
AH : TJ, you don’t have to guide us. We can
go by ourselves.
TJ : Okay, take care!
AH
: Bye!
JN : Oh, how about the big project? What is
that again… the time machine?
TJ : Working on it. I’ve got the blue
prints already.
JN : Do you need something? I can help you
if you—
TJ : No, I don’t.
JN : Are you sure?
TJ : Of course!
JN : Just tell me when you need a hand,
okay?
EL
: Brother, let’s go a little bit to
the future.
AH : Yeah, let’s go to the time where Father
died.

April
20, 2178
AC : Dear? Are you done with this time machine
project? You haven’t slept like for a week!
TJ : No, I can’t! Just put my dinner in
front of my lab.
AC : Are you sure?
TJ : Tomorrow I’ll have dinner with you and
the kids, so just give me some time with this machine.
AC : Oh… Okay, Dear. I’ll put the plate
here. It’s your favorite dish. Just don’t forget to eat. Bye…
TJ : Thank you, bye.

(Chika left the
stage, Alvendro and Elaine get to the stage.)
EL : It’s Father’s lab!
AH : April 20th.. I remember! Tonight’s
when father died.
EL : We must hurry! Before it’s too late.
AH : Let’s go! Hey, wait! Who is that guy?
EL : Isn’t that…UNCLE JONA—
EL : Isn’t that…UNCLE JONA—
AH : Ssshh! He can hear you! Is he making a
cup of coffee? What is he doing in the lab?
AH : I wonder what is that.
EL : That looks like poison.
AH : Hush! You can’t say bad things to
people like that!
EL : But, why is he smiling?
AH : Enough with your imagination.

(Elaine and
Alvendro left the stage, Chika and Vania enter the stage)
AC : Vania, do you notice something weird
with Jona?
VV : He’s always weird.
AC : No, he’s weirder than before.
VV : What do you mean? He looks the same.
AC : No, I mean he is always alone, and he
seems mad at something.
VV : Like what?
AC : I’m not sure. But, he becomes like this,
maybe because of the project.
VV : Oh, I remember now. That’s actually
true.
AC : I think something is up with him.
VV : I don’t really see it, though.
AC : Let’s check his lab.
(Theo enters the
stage)
TJ : I’m always, always, busy. I have no
time to rest.
AC : Theo, it’s me and Vania. Can we go in?
TJ : No. You can’t. I have stuff going on
here. Go.
AC : Please, we want to talk!
VV : Just a little talk! Open the door!
TJ : What do you want?
AC : Jona is weird, do you know what’s wrong
with him?
TJ : Tch, I don’t know. Just let me work.
VV : But this is serious! Are you guys
fighting? You and Jona.
TJ : No, we’re not. Now. Go. I have work to
do.
(Elaine and
Alvendro enter the stage, Chika and Vania left the stage, Theo drinks the
coffee.)
AH : Wait! Father! Don’t drink that!
EL : That coffee is poisonous!
TJ : Alvendro? Elaine? How did you get into
my lab?! Go to sleep!
AH : NO, Father, listen to me, the coffee was
poisoned by Uncle Jona!
TJ : What are you talking about—urgh!
EL : NO! FATHER!
JN : Well, well, well. Kids are getting
smarter, huh?
AH : Uncle Jona… why!?
TJ : I thought you are my friend—
JN : Friend? Don’t be silly. Now all I just
have to get rid of you two.
TJ : I won’t let you— don’t do anything to
them—
JN : Are you sure? What can you do anyway?
(Jona approaches
the kids)
AH : No, no, NO! ELAINE, HURRY UP! GO
SOMEWHERE FAR AWAY FROM THIS TIMELINE!
EL : (switches
the watch)

April
18th 2178
EL : It should be 2 days ago.
AH : Look! That’s Father and Uncle Jona!
TJ : With this new invention, the world is surely going to change!
JN : Yeah! I’m—I mean, we’re gonna change
the world!
TJ : Be right back. I’m going to take some
drinks for us.
AC : Hey Jona! What crazy project are you
doing right now?
JN : The time machine! Have you ever
wondered what would happen if you could travel 100 years to the future?
AC : That’s.. insane! That’s so brilliant!
JN : Of course! (laughs)
AC : How can you make one?
JN : If I tell you right now, you won’t
understand anyway.
AC : I don’t care! Just tell me!
JN : Okay then, if you insist. The time
machine works by the law of Einstein which states that time is reversible and
it’s also able to be fast-forwarded if we travel through a particle that
travels faster than the speed of light.
AC : Wow! I don’t understand anyway, but
that’s just cool! I feel so smart!
JN : Wait a minute, I’m going to the
toilet.
AC : Okay!
(Jona gets out of the stage)
JN : Ugh! I should get that damned
copyright! He should get the credit because this time machine is his idea. But,
how should I get it!? Hmm.. maybe I’ll just kill him. Good idea!
AH+EL : (Gasp)
AH : So that’s what he wants!
EL : I—I just can’t believe this!
AH : Calm down! He can hear us!
EL : W—what is going on—(drops a coin)
AH : He can hear us!!
JN : Hey! What’s that!? (comes)
EL : N—(Alvendro
signs to shut up)
AH : Hurry! (Elaine switches the time machine)
JN : (enters)
That’s strange.. I saw a couple of kids just a few seconds ago.. Well, back to
work!

January
25th, 2179. The original timeline.
EL : Phew, glad to be back.
VV : Where have you been!? Your mom and I’ve
been searching for you for 5 hours and you just popped out right here! What did
you do?
AH : N—nothing.
VV : Don’t lie to me! I recognize that
suspicious face very well!
AC : Are you hiding something!?
AH : No. Do I seem suspicious?
EL : Yeah, we’re not hiding anything!
VV : Of course you are! You seem so
suspicious!
AH : But we did nothing!
VV : Then explain why you’re not here for 5
straight hours and you just pop up suddenly!
AC : You’ve got a lot of explaining to do.
