Good job! I can't wait to read more.

I hate it when I accidantly close the browser too, everytime after I do it I was just like "oh, crud" and I feel like banging my head against something.

YAY!!! *runs around* IwouldlovetobeinthisstoryitsoundssoawesomeandIcan'twaitforthenextchapter! *begins squealling*

Whoo alright! Thanks guys! And yes Luc and Cassidy are both in.

Annnyywaayy today I accidently slept until noon, so I didn't get to meet that 12 hour deadline I ever so foolishly made for myself. But here I am now! So onward we progress.

(This is still Chapter 1. In fact I may do away with chapters.)


Elsewhere in the HQ Tower

***Ace and Lexi are watching television. Slam is EATING of course. Duck enters.

Duck: Greetings, one and all! I figured it was about time someone brought a little life into this snoozefest!

Lexi: What would you know about "bringing life" into anything, Duck? It's not like you even have a life.

Duck: Oh-ho-ho, touché, Ms. Big Ears, but for your information, I have hundreds, nay, thousands of fangirls who find me simply irresitibable. For all you know, I just returned from a lavish party filled with countless adoring admiriers!

***Ace stands

Ace: I think we all know enough to know better than that, Duck. However... did a wizard cast a growth spell on you while you were gone? How come I'm eye to eye with you?

Duck: What? I've always been as tall as you!

Ace: Duck, I wasn't born yesterday, and even if I were, I'd probably still be taller than you.

Slam: Hehehe Shorty.

***Lexi giggles uncontrollably.

Lexi:  I'll tell you where Duck just got back from, a shoe store! He's wearing lifts!

Ace: Ah, so he is.

Slam: Hehehe Shorty.

Duck: Uuuuhhhh... I just thought they might, uhh, enhance my, um, already stupendous heroic image! You can, heh heh, never get enough, heh, heroic image...ness...ohpleaselettherebeadistraction


***Rev enters

Duck: *whew*

Rev: Hey guys you won't believe what I just witnessed!

Duck: Yes, yes, just shout it out for the whole world to hear already! Duck is wearing lifts! That's right! Everyone let it all out, let's all laugh at the duck!

Rev: No that's not what I was going to say but you're wearing lifts now Duck? Hehehehehe! (Duck: You're despicable.) Oooh but I shouldn't let that distract me right now! Tech was building this time machine and he had everything built right but he couldn't quite power it so I started messing with some of the wires and somehow I shot a surge of power towards the time machine and it started working! Of course I fried poor Tech in the process but he's okay now and the point is there's a working time machine in that lab!

Ace: Oookaayyy... I didn't get quite all of that, but... I think I did hear... whoa, we have a time machine now?!

***Tech enters

Tech: That's riiighht.

Lexi: Wow! You've outdone yourself this time, Tech! Nice one!

Slam: Gurbraghla you da man!

Tech: Thank you kindly, Slam! Of course, the machine hasn't been properly tested yes, and I'd like to-

Rev: Ooh ooh ooh! Let me do it Tech please I can work really fast as you know and you wouldn't have gotten it working if I hadn't fried you oh and I'm sorry about that by the way but pleeeassee please please can I do it!

Tech: *chuckle* Fine, Rev will test it.

Rev: Whoo! I'll be back in a flash! Hey guys it works perfectly!

Ace: Whoa, what? Did you even go anywhere?

Rev: Oh yeah I bet it seemed like no time to you guys! I mean I just returned right back to where I left! I didn't even need superspeed! By the way I went back to the age of disco and let me tell ya people danced weird back then! It kind of like how Duck dances when he's had too much punch!

Duck:

Ace: Well, okay! It works then! Nice one, Tech!

Tech: Thanks!

Lexi: Well, what are we standing around here for? Let's try it out! Hey Duck , maybe we should go a little further into the future. Maybe then they'll have something that can actually make you taller, so you don't have to keep wearing those stupid lifts.

Duck: Why am I always a target for such ridicule? You all just wish you had my outstanding charisma and stunningly handsome features!

Ace: Right, Duck, right. But anyway, Lexi's right! Let's try out this puppy!

Slam: Uh huh!

***The Loonatics walk into Tech's lab and step into the machine...



And that's all you GET for now! Muahaha!

*faints*

Cassidy: Yeah.... that's her way of saying that she likes it....

Danielle: *hands paper to Cassidy*

Cassidy: *reads paper* Uh.. she says that you can use her real name, Danielle, if you want to. It might make things a little less confusing. And she absolutely loves the story so far.

Hee hee. Nice chapter Dragon Wing. I like the way you kept Duck to his egolistic character.

Something tells me it might go wrong...

Once again, thanks everyone!

BlackCat: The Loonatics visiting the Loonies was my original intent, but I'm not sure anymore. I generally see The Loonatics and The Looney Tunes as two separate groups (even though they're not really) and thus I probably would not be able to cross them over very well. But I still don't know exactly what's going to happen, so I won't rule out the possibility.

More to come when I don't have writer's block. \o/ Aiming for tomorrow (before school starts back up on Monday D:)

Sorry I haven't updated in forever and about a week. Long story short, school started. Senior year, whoo! Oh, and by the way, if any of you ever have the chance to take Advanced Placement Calculus BC, DON'T DO IT. EVER. My brain is all fried :`(

Anyway this will be the last entry before some of yous guys are going to be introduced. I have thought about it and the integration is probably going to be a lot harder than I thought it was, but I am not one to back out on my word so I will DO it.

Shut up, Angela. K here we go.


***The Loonatics crowd into the size machine, which is about the size of a phone booth. Yep, it's a tight fit.

Ace: Erm, Tech, kudos on the invention and all dat, but maybe next time you might want to make somethin' like this a little bit, ah, spacier?

Tech: Yep, sure thing.

Slam: Rrrrrr I can't moovve!!

Ace: Well, is everyone in at least?

Lexi: I don't think so... where is Duck?

Duck: I'm right here!

Lexi: Where?

Duck: Next to Rev!

Lexi: Sorry, still not seeing ya.

Duck: Look a tiny little bit... downward.

Lexi: Oh! Wow, I gotta hand it to you, Duck, even with those lifts you're still shorter than everyone!

Duck: You're despicable.

Ace: Erm, anyway, so where are we goin'?

Tech: Ooh, intriguing question. Rev?

Rev: Yessir?

Tech: Pick a number between 1 and 2192*.

Rev: Uhhhh... 766.

Tech: Alright then, we'll go 766 years into the past, which, if I'm not mistaken, is the year 2007.

Duck: Aww, can't we go 766 years into future? I bet 2007 is just filled with a bunch of old freaks and weirdos.

Tech: Well, this machine has only been tested to travel back into the past. Travelling into the future is entirely different mechanism. The atomic rearranger works better when dealing with matters of the past, since it is able to simply analyze the exact atomic structure that had existed in the past. Now, with dealing with the future, it requires a much more intrigate system to analyze future matter structure-

Duck: OKAY, OKAY, just take us there, Mr. Caneinstein.

Tech: Caneinstein?

Duck: You know, Einstein, Canine... OK, so it wasn't my best...

Tech: Actually, I'm slightly surprised you had that much wit in you.

Duck: Oh... well, thanks, I guess...

Lexi: But you're still shoorrtt.

Duck: OKAY, CAN'T WE GET THIS THING MOVING ALREADY?!

Tech: Okay, everybody all set for for take-off?

Slam: Yep

Tech: Well, here goes nothing!

***They vanish out of Tech's lab and delve 766 years into the past. The machine lands harshly on a large plain of barren rock.

Ace: Ow! Rough landing!

Rev: Well it didn't do that when I used it I guess the surface must be really hard or something!

Lexi: Yeah, no kidding, there's nothing but flat rock everywhere!

***Tech smacks self in forehead.

Tech: Ugh! How could I forget?! 2007 was before Earthkind migrated to Acmetropolis! Right now, this planet is nothing but seemingly infinite empty space!

Lexi: Kind of like Duck's brain!

Duck: Oh, you only make fun because you secretly admire me.

Lexi: What? No! Ugh, get over yourself for once!

Duck: Oh, why don't you just admit it? After all, I am a bold and courageous superhero! Who could even resist?

Ace: Duck, quit running at the bill for a second!

***Ace turns to Tech

Ace: So, should we go further into the future or somethin'?

Tech: Nope, that won't be necessary. Luckily, I prepared for a situation like this; this machine is not only a time traveler, but a teleporter.

Ace: Hey, nice! How far can we go with it?

Tech: About a radius of 75 million lightyears. Earth is located in the Milky Way galaxy, about 2.5 million lightyears away from here. So it's no problem.

Lexi: Alright! Let's go then! It's getting really stuffy in here.

Tech: Alright, just let me type in the coordinates... okay, and we're off.

***Tech presses the ignition button and nothing happens.

Slam: Huh?

Duck: Hey, what's the big idea?

Tech: I don't know... Rev, can you squeeze outside and look for any external damage?

Rev: Already did! There's a hole in this little gray box which I can only assume is the power container since it was filled with this weird green glowing stuff that kind of reminds me of the stuff I found under Slam's bed once MAN that was weird.

Tech: Oh, yes, that is the power container, and it's called that for a reason. It has to, well, contain all the energy, or else the machine won't budge!

Ace: So, how do we fix it?

Tech: Well, simple really, we just have to fill in the hole. Rev, how big was the hole?

Rev: Uhhh it was probably the size of a shoe.

Tech: Oooh. Duck?

Duck: Yes?

Tech: Can you give me a lift?

Duck: Why? Isn't the power thing at the bottom? And why are you asking me? You've all made it ever so clear that I am the shortest.

Tech: Exactly. Take off your lifts and give me one of them so I can use it as a caulk.

Duck: What? No!

Tech: Come on, Duck...

Duck: I'm short enough as it is!

Tech: You'll get to be the herroo...

Duck: Oh, fine!

***Duck takes off his lifts and falls several inches towards the ground. Tech goes outside.

Duck: I suppose all great heroes all have to make selfless sacrifices every once in a while for the greater good. *sigh* where would this world be without people like me, erm, us, who give up their needs every day to help mankind?

Ace: It was just a lift, Duck.

Duck: That is not the issue at hand! It's the princibable of the matter!

Ace: Eh, whatever. Here comes Tech.

***Tech enters.

Ace: All set?

Tech: Yep. It should work now. Everyone all set, again?

Lexi: Yep.

Rev: Gosh I can't wait to get to Earth I mean I hear it gets really sunny there unlike Acmetropolis man I bet there's great waterparks and beaches and amusement parks and MAN this will be a blast!

Tech: All in due time, Rev. Here we go!

***Tech presses the ignition button and the time machine teleports away.




The fun stuff comes next I guess! I threw Lexi/Duck hints in there! I completely didn't mean for that to happen! But it happened, so it will be. Whoa, Rev wasn't in there all that much. That's a shame. (But I guess that makes it close to the actual show >_<)




*2192 is not a random number, it is the number of songs I currently have in my music library \o/

*stares at computer screen waiting for next chapter to appear*

I love the short jokes.

The time machine's the size of a phone booth....Is that a reference to Dr. Who?

How are they supposed to get back to 2772 if they can't travel to the future?!?

Ah, but there's a difference between travelling to the future and travelling back to the future (lol movie reference). The time machine will easily be able to travel back to the future up to the point in which it first left Tech's lab. It's going beyond that point in time that it starts to get tricky. Well that's how it works in my own mind anyway.

Update when I am not going emo over English essays, government textbooks and calculus worksheets.

Edit: Oh, and the phonebooth thing was actually a reference to this story's namesake; Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. But I actually think that was a reference to Dr. Who. So in a roundabout way, yeah, it was a reference to Dr. Who. Whew.

Just bumping this to note that there's a chance I may finish this... after The Fragile or something.

Like the jokes you've done for Duck. I think they're in the grand canyon are they? Still, great story there .
