2. Chapter One
A family of seven only one set of twins, Paige and Chloe, they had really nice,
caring and kind personalities. They were special, but they just didn’t know it yet.
It was just an ordinary Sunday morning in September, it was starting to get colder
out. Like any other ordinary Sunday morning, they, Paige and Chloe Stevens, were
inventing, what they like to do every Sunday. Oh yeah, sorry I forgot to introduce
myself, I am Kate Smith. I am both their best friends. Anyways, back to Paige and
Chloe. In total, they have come up with around twenty-one inventions but only five
of them have been successful. All of their inventions have been very creative but
the successful ones have been more creative than their other inventions. These
names might sound weird to you like they did to me at first but you will get used to
them, these inventions will soon turn into the old iPhone 21. The “Planter”, it is what
they use to water their plants and what they use to plant their plants. The next on
that they came up with is called the “C.H.M.”. It stands for the clothes hanger
machine; it hangs up their clothes for them. The third one is called the “Town Rider”.
You sit down in it and tell it where to go and it takes you there. The fourth one is
called “End It”. If you were having an argument with one of your family members of
friends, it would solve your argument by thinking of both of the sides and what
would work for both of them.
They were just deciding what they were going to invent when they came across and
idea. They got inspired from the “Friend”; it was a robot that was already invented.
The robot talked to you when you were bored. They wanted to make a robot that did
things for you, like a maid. The cool thing about is that it can read your mind. Not
with everything but when you want a glass of water, it would get up and get you
one. The twins thought it was cool and nobody would ever think of that idea, which
would nobody ever think of. Nobody, ever.
They had to make all of the blueprints for their robot before they went to buy the
materials. They had to know where all of the wires plugged in, how many of one
material to buy and how the robot would function. They worked really hard for a
really long time. Finally finished all of their blueprints so they went to the mall. They
worked from 7:30am-11:30am on the blueprints. While they were in the mall, they
didn’t see anything that they needed. They had to buy screws and all those things,
they also had to buy tools because they didn't have any tools at their house
because they were really old and rusty so they threw them out. They looked and
looked, three shops in total, in Toolz, Handy Dandy and Ricky’s Tool Box. Nothing.
Finally they found this one store, it didn’t have a name but they saw everything that
they needed. They guessed that it was an unpopular store. The things that were in
the store were mostly new. If any of the materials were old, they have barley been

3. used. So they spent their whole afternoon looking for their supplies, a wrench, a
hammer, and screws. They bought a lot more then they needed, because just
incase they lost some of their supplies they had extra.
When they got home, they checked if they had all of their supplies and they got it
all. They tried to put everything together but nothing would fit! They flipped the
pieces and did everything that they could to try to attach the pieces together. None
of them would fit. So they finally tried to put all of the pieces together in another way
and here is something funny, somehow they all fit together but they used all of the
pieces. It was weird because they had not planned on using all of their pieces. They
all fit together! They were not sure what they build would do but it looked kind of like
a box. A large box with antennas and many other things sticking out of it. It was
really big, it was huge! They thought that there were way too many things sticking
out of it so they had to spend another hour fixing up their machine. They used the
tools that they bought from the store to do all of that. They took some time too do
that, well an hour or so.
I thought that their invention was pretty amazing because of all of the cool features
that it had, I also thought that nothing. Nothing, in the world could be cooler than
whatever they have just invented. I was there and I witnessed the whole thing. I
know what it is like to be friends with the most cool inventors on earth.
The invention of whatever it was, was really well designed, huge, there was a mix of
different colours. They went in and tagged along behind them. When we got in to
whatever this thing was, I heard many voices speaking at the same time. Wait,
never mind those were the voices in my head. Over some loudspeaker in their
invention there was a voice, the voice was a bit mumbly. It said something like “Go
back time, 1829.” I didn’t quite get anything that the machine was saying but Paige,
Chloe and I knew that we would be on a long adventure. We stepped right out of
the big box, which was now known as the time traveler because we didn’t want
anything really bad or really good to happen to us right now.
We decided to try the machine out after we told some of our family and friends.
What we basically spread around was that Paige and Chloe just built a time
traveling machine. Everybody that we told didn’t believe us for some odd reason.
They all knew that Paige and Chloe invented many cool things. Why didn’t they
believe us? After we tried to persuade them that they actually invented a time
traveller machine that talks, we decided to go back to their house and test it out, as
we were going to do. All three of us decided to test it out together. We stepped in
again and heard the exact same voice as we did last time but something was
different, I could hear it. This time it said something like “Go back time, 2000.”
Chapter Two
Suddenly, as fast of a blink of the human eye, a bright flash that looked like a
blinding camera flash lit up the whole entire world, it seemed like. During the time
when we were getting teleported we went through a really long tunnel, there were
funny illusions all over the tunnels walls. It seemed like only less than a second that
we were in the tunnel for. Finally at the most random time ever, we suddenly fell on
something gooey, muddy, squishy. It was the most disgusting feeling ever! I opened
my eyes and felt a painful feeling in my eyes. I couldn’t breathe! I quickly tried to

4. push my way to the top of whatever I was in. I got to the top and breathed in and
out really quickly. I looked around me, I couldn’t see Paige or Chloe anywhere! I
thought that their time traveler machine put us all in different places. Out of
nowhere, I felt something brush my leg, I screamed a high pitched scream.
Something popped up in front of me and behind me, they were the exact same,
they turned around and I realized that they were Paige and Chloe. Phew, I wasn’t
scared or shocked anymore. That was close, I thought that they were some scary
monster. Then I looked down and since it was clear at the top, I could almost see
the bottom. I say that because all of the trash was at the bottom. I saw many, many,
many gross things, like trash and all of it was in mud. The grossest thing ever, I
thought to myself.
After we got out of the gross muddy water, we tried to brush all of the stinky trash
off our bodies, we looked around. It looked nothing like our time. Everything was old
and ripped up. Nothing was in place, by in place I mean I recognized nothing. There
were old buildings, old shops, no phones or any electronic device and there was
trash all over the ground. I guess that people litter here. After I looked at all over the
town that I think I lived in, I think that I live in this town because in the distance I saw
a small house about two stories that looked like my house. I also saw many cars
and trucks on the roads and I also saw a few people peering out their balconies. It
was really loud where I was. Some people were yelling really loudly at each other,
there were some birds singing, that noise got annoying after a while and the noise
from all of the cars add to how loud it already was. We had to walk a while to
actually get to where we were now.
Now I am here looking around with my two best friends, Paige and Chloe exploring
the world how it used to be. Then I turn around and see Paige and Chloe again, I
look back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. I tell the set of
twins who I think are the real Paige and Chloe and they are because they are
wearing their bracelets that match mine. They see them and then they also see
another me coming out of somewhere and meeting them. Paige, Chloe and I all
think that we should spy on them because all three of us were starting to get a little
bit creeped out. We follow them and hide in the corners that they turn and wait until
they turn the next corner then we go around.
When we tuned the next corner there were three sets of eyes on us. Paige’s twin,
Chloe’s twin and my twin.
Chapter Three
As we walked closer to them, I could see that they had a slight simile on their faces.
We slowly approached them, they started talking. They sounded like us! I thought
that they were clones. I also thought that they couldn’t be because I doubt that
there was a cloning machine back then.
They fired questions while we fired questions at them. This is how the conversation
went, “Hi, Hi... Im Paige... Im... 15... Me too...” It was a lot longer than that but that
is all I picked up and said because the conversation was going nowhere. I found out
that we looked and thought exactly the same as the person that looked like us. We
all wondered how this could happen.

5. We showed them where we landed and our time traveling machine was there. I
don’t think that it was there before! They also liked to invent things but Paige and
Chloe’s were a lot more modern. They wanted to know how it worked so we
showed them. They pressed the buttons while we went to the washroom. When we
got back, the machine was gone. Poof, just like that.
Chapter Four
I am Alana. Somehow I am now in this world where all of Maddie and Brooke’s
inventions are old. We saw their mother and asked her where we are and she
replied, “In your house silly!” They had no clue what she was talking about. We
thought that she was the silly one! I looked around the house. Paige and Chloe was
on a sign on one of the bedroom doors. Oh what? Are we in their house? What just
happened? How do we get out??
