"The Moppet Family..."

[The Count]

Future Adam: Definitely... Maybe on Halloween? You'd be invited to the party of course. Then again, it might be better to have just a family dinner. Oh well, was great seeing everybody again.
*Picks up walking stick and says good-bye to everyone else as he and Isabelle leave the Flint's home.

 

[Beauregard]

Father: *muttering to self* Thanks for your help, Mr Cole...*end mutter* Ahh, Harvey old man..er...young, well, no, actually old. Harvey! I couldn't help notice when I was rumaging through (Suzan, hello to you too) rumaging through the files in the office...offices....that well, there was some time-worn files of Time-Travel. You wouldn't care to extrapolate? No, I supose you've already eaten. Would you care to explain a little more...

 

[Harvey Towers]

Messers Moppet and Harvey are walking back to Wilson's...

Time files? Oh no, you mean Time Flies! You remember? Creatures of the genus Buzzius Aboutus genetically modified to allow they to travel unhindered along the time-line? We worked on them about, what a couple of years ago, yesterday, or was it next week? Time all seems the same now... but then so do flies... I'm sure we've got some back at the office if you are interested?

 

[Vibs]

Vibs: *comes running after father* DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!! Viq took your car keys!

Viq: *comes running after Vibs* No way!! I didn't take them I just... borrowed... them...

Vibs: You can't even drive a car!

Viq: I can try... eh that sounded wrong...

Vibs: Dad, Viq is just trying to impress Laura...

Viq: ... *frowns*

Vibs: Anyway, I didn't run all this way just to slander my twin, well I did but dad can I have your creditcard just for ... 3 hours? I NEEEEEEED IT!!!!! Oh hi Harvey, did you get a new tie? Where did you buy it? I need a tie like that!!!It's awesome!!!!!!

Viq: ?!

Vibs: It's retro! It's "Wear something really ugly" period at the moment, everybody is wearing ugly shoes, shirts, skirts, anything! As long as it's something that really doesn't suit anyone! And that tie would definatly fit this style. Can I have it? PLEEEEEEEEEASE!!

Viq: *to harvey* She didn't take her pills today...

 

[Beauregard]

Father: Fly Times! Sounds like my kind of Newspaper...no, wait...Harvey, you have these? Becuase I must get home...though here has a certain type of charm and...WHAT! No, Vibs, you can't have my credit card! Viq, give me those keys at once! Did you ask permission to go out with Laura? I remeber expressly saying that you could never go out with anyone of such a name. VIBS! Do not speak to Harvey so...hmm...actually, it is a rather nice tie. I wonder if I could borrow it back in my ti-me? What was I saying? Ah, yes. There is a certain peave here, but...I should go back.

 

[Harvey Towers]

Why it's Miss Moppet and Young Mr Moppet! How are you two! Yes this is a nice tie isn't! My favourite... I have another seven like it at home giving me one for each day of the week! Productivity has soared since Wilson's introduced Flogday and altered the workday-to-weekend ratio. And they said we shouldn't have interfered with the fabric of space...

Back Mr Moppet? I'm sorry you've lost me now? Back to Wilson's you mean, or was there something else you wanted? Somewhere else you had to get to? Or somewhen else?

 

[Beauregard]

Father: Oh...I see. Um...Mr Harvey, did you ever get that feeling that yu woke up at the wrong time, say, late for breakfast, or too early for the morning paper? As in....um....well, let's put it simply, in the Past...ten day or so I appeared in the future...plans of the family...that is...I am presently seeking to return to...Oh, Hang it all. I'm from the past, Mr Harvey. And would quite like to return. See?

 

[Harvey Towers]

Walking the Winding Way to Wilson's

Ah, from the past? I thought something was wrong.. time has been running rather oddly recently. I just not been quite able to put my finger on it...

*goes to grap his pocket watch but keeps missing it*

You see?

Things that should take ages, like a very long walk from here to somewhere else are over all of a sudden...

*opens door to office*

While simple things like having a conversation are taking a v--e--r--y-- --l--o--n--g-- --t--i--m--e-- --i--n--d--e--e--d.--.--.--

 

[Beauregard]

Father: I know the feeling. *looking back over a dinner that ook more pages than the last major plot point* Mr Harvey, if you can send me back in time, I'll make an appointment in my diary, remeber how we stocked up with diaries for the weekly-planning meetsings at Wilsons, well, I still have many of them, if somewhat out of date...I'll write a note to myself to...er...deal with jack from time to time, speaking of time...

 

[Harvey Towers]

At Wilson's... anything... anytime...

*takes a jar of time flies off of the shelf where they are sitting right next to a tin of Primordial Soup*

Here we go Mr Moppet. Now we take the flies and release them into a controlled environment - pass us that cardboard box will you. Thank you.

First of all you have to stand in the box - I mean, erm... chamber. Then we need to attach some sort of a time-piece. I wonder if we have one of those

*cuckoo*

Quiet you!

*cuckoo*

Quiet you!

*cuckoo*

Quiet you!

*cuckoo*

I won't tell you again!

*cuckoo*

That's it!

*cuckoo*

Yes, that is it!

*cuckoo*

We''ll use...

*cuckoo*

No that won't work...

*cuckoo*

There's got to be

*cuckoo*

Something in here that goes...

Like a...
