A/N: Okay, please don't kill me. I had to put this up. This is a crossover with the book/TV show Time Warp Trio. TWT reminds me of MTR, and the show is tiding me over until Meet the Robinsons comes out on DVD. Heh heh :) If you've never seen or read Time Warp Trio, I gave a short explanation at the beginning. So, I don't own anything: Time Warp Trio belongs to Jon Scieszka and MTR belongs to Disney. Here we go…
You probably don't know who we are. Most people don't. But every so often, we… let's just say "leave our mark on history." We're normal boys, really. We just have a Book that lets us time travel.
It's not just any Book. My uncle gave it to me for my tenth birthday, about two years ago. That was when strange things started happening.
Our first mistake was opening The Book. We were just looking through the pictures… and boom! We end up being shot at by Blackbeard. Yeah, you heard me right. Blackbeard the Pirate. I lost track of how many times we almost died that day. Oh, I almost forgot. I'm Joe and my two friends are Sam and Fred. We're what you would call the "Time Warp Trio." After Blackbeard, our adventures had only just begun. From Custer's cavalry to nine-year-old Genghis Khan, we've pretty much seen it all—personally.
We've met so many "historical figures," as Sam calls them, but three stood out to us the most.
Our great-granddaughters, Jodie, Samantha, and Freddi. They're not so much "historic" as "futuristic." We meet up with them every so often, and even though I hate to say it, they're the ones who help us out of the deadly situations we always seem to get ourselves in.
But right now, it doesn't really seem like we're going to get much help at all, because, guess why? We're all about to be eaten by a dinosaur!
If you don't know us already, you'll soon find out that Fred is an idiot. It's one of the reasons that right now the six of us are being chased by a dinosaur in the near future. I didn't even know exactly where we were. All we wanted to do was visit Jodie, Samantha, and Freddi, but it seemed like they wanted to visit us first. In short, we crashed in the middle. That's when Fred saw the dinosaur.
And when Fred sees a dinosaur (or something he can annoy to make it kill us) there's no stopping him until he's already done and realized his mistake.
We did what any normal person would do if a dinosaur was chasing after them. We screamed and ran.
"FRED!" the girls chorused angrily, not used to expecting Fred's stupidity.
"Yes, I've already realized that's my name. Just run!"
We all made a mad dash to the side of a large house to catch our breath.
"Okay, we're in – the future – and we're being chased – by a dinosaur?" Sam yelped, pausing every few words to breathe.
The girls looked at each other. They silently argued with each other to not be the one to tell the boys where they were. Samantha lost.
"We're in 2037. You guys don't know him yet, but we're at the house of Cornelius Robinson, the famous inventor. He and his family kind of… own a dinosaur as a pet. Its name is Tiny," Samantha gave a little laugh.
"A dinosaur as a pet. Named Tiny," I groaned, sliding down the wall.
"Man, how cheesy can these people get?" Fred laughed and jumped out from behind the wall protecting us. Seconds later, he yelled and jumped back. The girls snickered.
"It's still out there?" Jodie grinned at Fred, who narrowed his eyes at her.
"No, I just saw your reflection," Fred snapped back getting a growl out of Jodie. He turned to Sam and me.
"There's two kids with the dinosaur now. What if they find us?"
Sam and I looked at each other and then looked at Fred.
"Since when have you cared when people from the future or past saw us?" I scoffed, getting up to check on the dinosaur. Still there, rampaging across the huge lawn blindly, trying to escaping the very large rope the two kids were trying to reign. "Tiny's" jaws snapped and nearly gave one of the kids a concussion. I shuddered and turned away.
"Since I learned there were dinosaurs in the future," Fred replied like it was obvious.
Sam slowly got up and inched towards the corner of the building. He peeked out and narrowed his eyes in confusion.
"Hey! I've—I've seen them before," Sam whispered.
"What?"
We all rushed over and looked at the boys. Neither of them looked familiar to me.
"I can't place the name. Jodie, Samantha, Freddi, do you know who they are?" Sam asked.
Jodie and Samantha shook their heads no, but Freddi gasped.
"I know who they are! The black haired one is Wilbur Robinson, the son of Cornelius. I met him when you went to the Revolutionary War," she said, looking at Jodie and Samantha.
"How did you meet him?" Samantha asked, perplexed. Freddi gave a nervous laugh.
"That's another story. But the other one is – you guys aren't going to believe me – Cornelius Robinson himself," she ended, interrupted by several outbursts of:
"WHAT?!"
"Wilbur occasionally visits his father in 2007 and brings him back here. He told me when we met," Freddi shrugged and walked back behind the wall.
"So, tell us, how did you meet Wilbur Robinson?" Samantha asked again.
Freddi sighed. "I was riding back home on my hoverboard, waiting for you to get back, when crash! I hit this thing: it was Wilbur in his time machine. So we started to talk, I guess."
"Whoa, whoa, back up. Time machine?" Fred asked. "Why doesn't everyone in your future have time machines?"
Samantha laughed.
"The same reason you don't own The Book," she replied to Fred. "It's way too dangerous."
We all laughed as Fred rolled his eyes.
"But if they have time machines, that means we could use it to get back!" Sam said excitedly.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" I asked, having already located the garage. "Let's go!"
We all snaked our way across the huge yard to what I thought was the garage. Fred and Samantha tried to pull the doors open, but they wouldn't budge. Instead, Fred began to bang on the door.
"Hey! Hey, let us in, we're stuck in the future and we need to use the time machines!" he yelled.
"Oh, yeah, that's going to help," Jodie muttered under her breath.
"Do you have a problem with me?" Fred turned around and said to Jodie.
"Well, yeah," Jodie snapped back.
"Guys, we kind of--" Sam tried to break up the two, but they just continued.
"What is it, huh? Jealous?" Fred laughed and continued to bang on the garage door.
"Guys…" Sam tried again.
"QUIET!" yelled Jodie and Fred together.
"You are a total dorkbot!" Jodie yelled, smacking Fred upside the head hard.
"GUYS!" Sam yelled, finally getting everyone's attention. "We have…"
Sam was cut off by a voice in the background.
"…company," Sam finished quietly.
"Sam?" an unknown voice asked behind us.
"Lewis?"
