Almost three months has passed. Lisa had no idea what was happening, but Carol looked like she knew what she was doing

"Hand me that screwdriver," Carol says

"Get it yourself, it's literally three inches away from you."

Carol sighs but grabs the screwdriver. "I wanted it to be like you're my assistant during surgery on a patient or something."

Lisa laughs and shakes her head, "Nope, I'm just observing."

"One last screw and..." Carol tightens it and sets the screwdriver down on the table. "We're done!"

Lisa stands up from where she was sitting in the corner and walks over to the machine that they've been working on for the past couple of months.

It seemed real, the way the machine was put together and complicated wires tied all around. It was somewhat small, able to fit on the table anyway. There was a hand scanner that somehow glowed a light blue. There was a picture scanner too, something they took from an old printer.

"I just realized." Carol says.

"What?"

"This will only allow you to travel to the past, since you choose where you want to go with a picture."

Lisa couldn't help but to laugh. "Oops! I guess we aren't gonna find out what our future is like!"

Carol frowns in disappointment, but shrugs it off and continues to admire their invention. "Now for the moment of truth. Does it work?"

"I can answer that for you. No. It doesn't work."

"Prove it then. You try first!"

"I'm not gonna try it!"

"Why? Because you're afraid of traveling back in time because you know it works?" She smirks

Lisa crosses her arms. "Fine! I'll try it, because I know it won't work. I still think time travel is impossible."

"Mmhmm, now print a picture from the computer."

Lisa goes to the computer and looks for a picture. It didn't really matter which one she chooses, since it wouldn't work anyways. But she still put careful thought into it.

Alas! I lovely picture of Ringo at his home in 1963. She smiles as she hits the print button.

She shows Carol the picture and smiles.

"Good choice. Ringo right?"

"Yeah! Ringo!"

"See? It's impossible to forget a name like that!"

Lisa laughs as she takes back the picture from Carol. She walks up to the machine and puts the picture in the scanner.

She examines the machine one more time, then looks to Carol with a smirk on her face. Slowly and dramatically, she places her hand on the hand scanner.

She feels a shock. And everything goes black

He grabs a pair of clean underwear, pants, and a shirt.While scratching his messy hair, he makes his way to the bathroom for a shower.

He flips the light switch, but drops his clothes on the floor

"Aaah!"
