Summer: 1956 --
Lucy was in her New York apartment, listening to a record she had. She was trying to learn a dance step to the song Hound Dog. Ricky had told her that IF she could learn it, she could take part it his new show. It had taken almost a whole night of begging, but he had finally given in. {Now all I have to do is learn the dance}, she thought. When she heard a knock at the door, she stopped the record player, and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Mrs. Ricardo," said the visitor, walking in.
"You know me? Who are you?"
"Oh, I know you. But you don't know me. You see, I've seen you on TV."
"Me? How? And you still haven't answered my question."
"Yes, you. Nevermind how. And my name is H.G. Wells. I'm here to take you on a little trip."
"A trip?" asked Lucy, skeptically.
"Yes. That's right," he held up a remote, "this is how you get there. I'm sorry, I can't go with you."
"Go with me...where?"
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you --"
Just then, the kitchen sink started making strange noises. Lucy ran in to see; H.G. Wells went in after her. That noise had happened once before, and Lucy knew what to check for. {Yep, water pipe's broken again}. Whenever the pipe was broken, it caused a loud noise every time somebody else tried to get some water.
"Oh!..." said Lucy, "We couldn't get enough water in this building if we wanted to. Fred should just buy an ocean and take all the salt out, then we'd have enough water."
"Water? Is it water you want?"
"Yeah. Guess I better call Fred."
Lucy went into the living room to the phone. While she was talking to Ethel (Fred wasn't home), H.G. Wells was fiddling with his remote.
Lucy hung up the phone and said to her visitor, "Well, Ethel... Fred's wife, is coming up to look at it. She said she has a few little tricks for when this happens. What are you doing?"
"You said you wanted water..."
"Yeah...okay...sure."
When Ethel got there, she noticed the strange guy, "Who's that?"
"His name is H.G. Wells. I think he's trying to give us water from that remote."
Ethel gave Lucy a strange look.
"Don't look at me. He's the one who said --"
"There," 'Wells' interrupted, "all set." He turned to look at Ethel, "Would you like to go, too?"
"Go where?"
"Where she's going," he said, motioning to Lucy.
"I don't know, where are you go--" before Ethel could finish asking H.G. Wells pushed a button on the remote, and both girls disappeared.
"Well," he said to himself, "I better make sure they got there okay." He punched a few more buttons on his remote, and a small TV appeared. Except it wasn't a TV, it was more like a window, where he could see Lucy and Ethel. "Yes...I think transporting them into another TV show world was a good idea. She said she wanted water. I hope she finds enough from Fall, 1965..."
