The Travel Essay, Research Paper

Frank and Phil were two very smart kids. Very expensive colleges accepted them in 6th grade, they would have gave them a full ride also. Then one day they thought up this great idea to accomplish. It was to build a time machine. So the next couple days they thought up plans to build this great machine. That was three years ago. Now they are in 9th grade and they are still working on it. Hopefully they will have it done in the next couple months. But if they get it done it will still have to work. That is the hardest part of this project.

?You?re never going to get that thing to work.? Frank exclaimed.

?Fine if you don?t want to be a part of our time machine you can just leave right now.?

?That is not what I am saying Phil. I want to be a part of it but we can?t work on it day in and day out with out a break. I mean we haven?t taken a break since we started this thing.?

?Hey Frank, when you become rich and famous you will thank me that we didn?t take a break. Right!?

?Yea, I guess so, well let?s get this thing built and get rich and famous.?

?Sounds good to me.?

?Well if you take the square root of the diameter of the base times the distance around the machine that should give us the aerodynamics to travel through time, does that seem right to you Phil??

?Yea that seems right to me.?

They worked day in and day out for the next three months, and then they finally finished it. They were ready for their first flight though time. They didn?t tell the press because they didn?t want to look stupid if they didn?t succeed. So they kept everything to themselves. Which they will find out that was a bad idea.

?Phil, are you ready for our first flight threw time??

?I sure am, let?s get this machine going to June 5th 2057.?

?Ok all that I have to do is to set the time machines clock to destination time and return time.?

?Lets get this puppy working!?

WOPH WOPH WOPH WOPH WOPH WOPH WOPH!

?This thing is out of control Frank!!!!!!?

?I know, I don?t know what is happening to it hold on tight, I don?t have any clue what it is doing or where it is going to go!?

After about 5 minutes of a grueling ride the time machine finally stopped but this didn?t look like the year 2057?it looked like the prehistoric times but they calculated everything, like the soil and how old it was, and that told them about what year it was. Expectly they found out that it was the year 2057 and that the society must have ended from 1999 to 2057.

?This is crazy Phil, let?s get out of here!?

?No, we have to explore and get samples so everyone at home will believe that we were here and they so they don?t think we are lying.?

?Ok fine but let?s not stay here for a long time, it is pretty scary and gloomy.?

?Quit being a baby Frank, tough it up, you don?t see me complaining.?

?I know let?s just go get those samples.?

?Sure thing!?

As they go wandering out into the newly discovered land. They find a lot of things like a lot of forest, a lot more than what we have back home, cleaner environment, and the most important thing was that there was no sign of animal life. As they gather their samples they find out that they got lost and they can?t figure out were they parked their time machine. As the boys get into a scuffle because neither of them remembered to leave a trail, they just cause more trouble because they split up because they were mad. While the sun is going down both of them are lost in separate ways.

Now that months have past neither of them got out of the future. Everyone at home are worried and are on the hunt for them, but what they don?t know is that they are not going to find them until someone builds a time machine, and that takes at least 4 years to do. So if they want to get out of the future they will have to do it themselves. They are lucky that there is a lot of vegetation because they would have not been able to survive without it. But they still remain separated and lost. Until they meet up by accident while looking for the time machine?

?Phil!?

?Frank!?

?Thank God I found you, it has been so lonely without you and I am sorry about that fight we had.?

?That?s ok Phil, I acted stupid, it was both of our faults.?

?Are we buds again??

?You better believe it, I can?t spend another day out here by myself.?

?Me either.?

While they are hunting for the ship they come across this little people, They talked a little English but not much. He was very funny looking but they thought that the little person could help them find their time machine and to get them home.

After about an hour of trying to talk to him, he said ?mmmaacchineee????

?Yes Yes Yes,? shouted Phil.

?Do you know where it is??

As he muttered out, ?laboratory?

?Can you take us there??

As the little person nodded yes, they followed him about 10 miles to his laboratory, then they finally saw it.

?That is the most beautiful thing that I have seen in months!? said Frank

?Me too!?

As they got in the time machine they put in the destination time and were just ready to start it up when Phil struck a great idea. It was to take their little friend back to their time, since he has helped him so much. As they asked him he nodded yes again and he hopped into the time machine, then they were off.

?I guess we have enough proof right here beside me for the press, huh??

?Defiantly, he is just the thing we needed.?

As they ended up right were they left months ago, they parents were waiting there for them. As they jumped out of the machine they got hugs and kisses from them. Then it took just 25 minutes before the press arrived. They thought it was great because they finally are going to become rich and famous, and they owed it all to the little, but big person in their mind, friend, which is going to stay with them for the rest of their lives.
