“Because we won the war, we beat the bad guys, and the time we went back to worked. We just figured that if anything else popped up after that, we would tell you.”
“Which brings us to now,”Pip said, sticking her head in between them both and whispering this obvious part.
“So, what? You're now saying I have to go back to the past, that me and Amelia have always been destined to do this?” At this I took my mum’s hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
“It will be fine, Mum, we will be together.”
“Er excuse me, aren’t you forgetting somebody?”
“Yeah, like two bodacious time traveling babes,” Pip added to this cry of outrage by Sophia, now shaking a thumb in between the two of them.
“Wait, what are you saying?” I asked in a confused tone. This is when Sophia stood and seeing as Pip was already bouncing on her feet, it made and me and my mum both stand with them. Then Sophia placed a hand on each of our shoulders and said,
“What? You didn't really think we'd let you guys go alone, did you?” I looked to my aunties and then to my mum, who released a big heavy sigh.
“Okay fine, I’m in, but only because Amelia is and not because any Oracle told me to.”
“She’s not gonna let this wrong date thing go, is she?” Pip muttered to Sophia, who was shaking her head and only stopped again when my mum looked back at her no longer giving Pip a glare.
“So, we are really doing this… we are going back in the past?” I said as I looked at the four of us, wondering how the Hell we were gonna pull this shit off.
“Great, anyone have any idea what time period we're going back to…? God, please let there be a toilet and toothbrushes.” I laughed at this, secretly wishing the same thing as my mum.
“If you'd have asked me an hour ago, I would never have been able to guess but now…” I paused, handing over the poem the Oracle of Light had given me.
“…now I'm thinking it has something to do with the Rosetta stone.” Sophia granted a look to my mother.
“What…? Oh come on, what am I missing now?” I asked, making my mother sigh.
“I've been dreaming of a stone cracking, pieces of it being used as foundation, light forming around it. I haven't wanted to tell your father but, well… let's just say now I'm not surprised why.”
“Er, on that cheery marital note, so about our husbands?” Pip said, rolling her hand around.
“Oh shit, yeah, we're not telling them,” Sophia said.
“No way,” I replied.
“Yeah, definitely not,” came my mum’s reply.
“Okay cool, so all on the same page then… Gotcha. Well I would say girly road trip but…” Pip said, making my mum and me raise a finger to her and say at the same time,
“Don’t go there, Pip.”
“Oh yeah, say it, Pip.” As the major movie Geek in the house, of course I was the one encouraging this.
“Oh I sooo am gonna, my friend… ‘cause where we're going, we don't need roads…’What? I'm sorry, okay, Toots? It just had to be done… I mean, there's gonna be a lot of Back to the Future references here so it would be best if we all just get used to it now, okay?” Pip said, making the other two groan as I just high fived her.
“So, we're really going to do this then, we’re really gonna go back in time?” I asked, needing them to be absolutely sure about this.
“We are not letting you do this alone… so yeah, I guess we are,” Sophia replied, whereas my mum hugged me to her and said,
“You’re definitely not alone.”
“Woohoo and the time travelling boobateers are back in business!”
“Yeah, I'm so not going if she's going to do that the whole time,” Sophia said in response to Pip’s excitement and really, I had no idea who the Boobateers were.
“Are they like, a band or something?” I asked, making my mum shake her head at me from behind Pip.
