"Is everybody okay? Everybody made it out?"
"Wahoo, what a ride Jacklyn. Let's go again."
"Again, again."
"Kids, you know this is not a safe way of travel and you must never tell your parents tomorrow that you did this, Jacklyn. Is that clear?
...….Jacklyn?
......…Jacklyn?
...Has anyone seen Jacklyn?"
".....Where could she be?"
".......................With the wind."
"Ben?
What...…what are you holding?"
"Her hearing aid.
......…..Storm, I believe this passes onto you. Please...take it. Your second chance."
"But I don't know how to skate."
"Storm, being there for your family tomorrow is more important than tripping on ice."
"But I haven't seen them in over....let me count the years."
"Please don't. It wasn't your fault."
"But I lost control. I was too quick to impress, that I lost my fitting, slipped, embarrassed myself...embarasses my parents....embarassed everyone in the crowd. I was so mad I just…..I just...….it was an accident. I went to the friends I could trust, subdued my electricity and vowed to use the Time Machine to find them again. Whatever alternate universe they may be in. ......I never found them. Being wind they were everywhere but nowhere. All I could find were ghosts."
"Tomorrow, there will be no ghosts, I assure you; and we will all be in the stands watching. You have our word."
"Thanks, Darius…..…There is just one problem. I should no longer be here."
"What are you doing?"
*Beep, beep, beep, beep, click*
"I must always be on and in the system. If not I will fracture and rip. Consider it…..turning on my VPN."
"But for who?"
"........Calls himself....The Thief. I may be a Time traveler, but he is a time cop. Goes around different universes and gets rid of any anomalies."
"Annomalies?"
"People who don't belong. People who should have died but didn't. People who got away but shouldn't have. Not many have seen him and the few that have...…don't live long after."
"How will we know he's come? Can anyone stop him?"
"He drives a motorcycle and wears his hood like his sword. As far as who can stop him, I know not one who can. Have seen him during my traverses, but only a glimpse."
"Could he be a threat?"
"Not yet, but soon. Nobody knows his targets or much about him. Once you see him it's the last him you will see."
"Maybe your brother can help us."
"My bro…..ohhh. He......…..Let's just focus on finding Bens Stephanie. The Thief is my problem not yours."
"...........I'm everybodies problem."
*Shriiiiiaaaaaatttt*
"Sir, sir. Take a look at this. Printer just came back with a list of more names, and one stands out in particular."
"Hmmmm. Hmmmmmmmm. Uhuh. Hmmmm."
"Sir, list number 46. Her name is Jacklyn, but.....she's outta time."
"And outta space. We can't track her, unlike the others."
"Finally, a worthy opponent."
"Sir."
"Take the list to my sisters. I will deal with this Jacklyn…..personally."
"Yes, sir."
"Oh great, another enemy. What was his name, Jacklyn; and what's with the suit? Finally decided to go to one of my Cosplays after all?"
"Can it, little bro. I am not playing dressup with Dollies. Now hurry up."
"They're not....."
"Not what?"
"Nevermind. They're way more lavish than your tea parties."
"That was a long time ago. I told you to grow up."
"I did, and moved onto Cosplay events."
"Huuuuuuhhhhhh."
"What's the magic word?"
".........Please."
"Thank you. Now if you want to act like my sister then you have to play the part."
"I am your sister."
"Not with that attitude."
"Kid, look. Throughout my years of travel my field doesn't exactly.....let me branch out and make friends. They could be there one minue and gone the next. Best not to get too attached."
"Is that what this is? Just a mere friend acquaintance?'
"I didn't mean it like that. It's just...…Their are things happening in the real world outside of your stupid Laptop that you will never find on a computer screen. Right now as we speak Ben and his girlfriend are traveling through a Portal back home. We have no idea who they will become or how they will influence the future, but all I know is that they are real. Not cosplay dolls."
"For the last time..."
"Look outside."
"Hey, that's what my sister said."
"I AM YOUR SISTER......Huaaahh. I'm just...…Please ride a Dragon with me. I'll even steer if it makes you feel safer. What do you say? Air is air is air...…is not air."
"Fine. I'll help keep your secret; only unless you tell me how I die. Please say it is not strapped to my gaming chair?"
"......I couldn't tell you even if I wanted to. Now let's go outside and get some fresh air."
