?It's five a.m. and Ms C (which stands for crazy in my opinion) is woken by the sounds of my screeching tyres on the rough and hard cement. I hear her yell. "Here comes the crazy," I say. Ms C marched to my car window banging her cane stick." Ello governor." I say "Oh, don't you play silly games with me young man," yelled Ms C. " What are you doing?" she asks. "I'm trying to build a time portal," "A time portal?" "In that rust bucket?" It was true. My car was quite the rust bucket. With all that rust, a scratched windscreen, torn seats, a loud horn and many other disasters. All I needed was a great engine and excellent tyres. I had to drive in circles for a day or two and presto a time portal. I hear a cooky voice "Can I come?" It was Ms C.

?She arrived with a huge suitcase of important and valuable things she'd need for the future. All I brought was my phone. I turned on the engine, it sounded good. I checked my tyres they looked good. We were ready to go! My engine steamed and my tyres screeched. I started turning.?

After spinning for 2 days, I can hear Ms C's soft snoring. Suddenly, a bright light slices the air. I turn my eyes to stop the blindness. Ms C is woken by the sudden light. When the light vanishes, we are shaken by an ear splitting sound. Six savage cavemen are running in our direction with dangerous weapons. "Uh oh," I shout. I turn the switch. My car reads:

27/2/3014.
I'm so amazed by the time we're in I hadn't noticed 3000 people looking at me! "Past people!" yells one of them. They suddenly rush to my vehicle. I am amazed by their strength as they push me across their land in front of a gigantic, heavy metallic robot. I guess it's their leader." Young man, I can see you have succeeded in travelling to the future and have also brought our fellow past friend," says the leader in a deep voice. "Fellow past friend?" I question. " Candice, also known as Ms C," replied the leader. "What is your name young fellow?" "Jeffrey," I cautiously answer. "Then we shall call you Mr J," commanded the leader. "My fellow helpers will show you to your rooms." ?
28/2/3014?
I wake up with the soft sound of robot birds singing in the morning. "From Jeffery to Mr J," I proudly remind myself. "I had the same reaction," whispered Ms C from out of the shadows. " That reminds me," I say. "Why did the leader call you fellow past friend?" "I have also attempted to travel to the future and I have succeeded. Just like you!" "And you never told me all this time?" I shout. "Yes. Because if I could do it on my own so could you,"
