It all started when Adam, a 14-year-old boy who had brown hair, and was the tallest one in the 9th grade, asked his friend, Moses, if he wanted to help him with a prank.

Moses had blonde hair, and he was fairly small. Moses agreed to help his friend, Adam. Only if they knew today was the day that Louisville, Kentucky, along with the rest of the United States, would change forever.

Adam's plan was to tease a bunch of men on the street with money. Adam went closer, and pulled out the fake one hundred dollar bill, and put it in one of the men's hat. One of the men looked at the bill in awe. The man woke up another man sleeping right next to him. They looked at it, and then one of the men threw it down in anger. They both got up and started to run after Adam, and Moses. The two boys ran as fast as their legs could carry them. They didn't stop, until they found an abandoned warehouse, and hid inside.

They hid in a closet, and they found something that resembled a giant box with a door on it. On the very top in rotten yellow letters, it read; //Time Machine.// They decided to try and see if they could go back, and stop themselves from teasing the men on the street. But, what they didn't do was, change it to what time they wanted to go back to.

When they heard a "ding", the two boys jumped out. What they saw amazed them, Adam and Moses were on a battlefield, in what looked like the 1700's! Adam and Moses ran back to the time machine, to check the time, they were in 1775! They decided to stay, and find someone they ask for help. That's when they spotted a familiar face. It was George Washington! They ran up to him. But George's horse didn't agree with the fact that two children, were running up to him, so the horse threw George of its back. When George got thrown off the Horse's back, George hit his head on a rock, and he died!

Moses and I rode on George's horse to a nearby village. When Moses and I got off the horse, we immediately rcognized a plump man, it was Benjamin Franklin! We followed Benjamin inside an old looking building. When Moses ran up to tell him what happened to George Washington, Moses accidently kicked over a candle. Within moments, the whole place caught on fire! Moses and I were the only one's who that escaped the fire. We both decided to go back to the present.

When Moses and I heard the "ding", we opened the door. Moses and I ran to my house, but nobody was home. I tried the keys to the front door, "Locked!" I yelled. Moses and I ran all the way to town, and asked somebody if they knew Max and Shelby Washington,(my parents).

Then, the man replied, "Nope, never even heard of them", he said.

So, Moses asked; "Have you heard of Carrie and Mosby Franklin? (Moses' parents).

Then again, the man said "no".

I then asked him who the first president was, at the same time wondering why the man had never heard of my parents, or Moses' parents. The man laughed for about three minutes, with tears in his eyes. I then asked why he was laughing.

The man replied, "Are you crazy kid? We are ruled by England, I thought you were old enough to know that.

That's when the thought hit me, that when Moses and I went back in time and accidently killed George Washington, and Benjamin Franklin, we had also changed the course of history, forever. Also, the reason why my parents, and Moses' parents don't exsist, is because George Washington is related to me, and Benjamin Franklin is related to Moses. At the same time, Moses had the same thought. We both ran back to the time machine, only to find that it was being towed away.

About an hour later, Moses and I found a taxi that could take us to his house. Hoping that no one would be there, Moses and I fell asleep on the floor.

About six hours later Moses and I awoke, when we heard a door slam shut. When we looked up through the darkness, we saw a girl who looked about 13-years-old. She looked at us strangely, almost to ask why we were sleeping in her living room. "Sorry" I said, "we just needed a place to sleep."

"It's okay", she replied strangely. "You two can stay here as long as you want."

"We need to know where our vehicle was towed to", I said.

"All vehicles that are towed away, are taken to the junkyard", she replied.

'Do you know where that is?", Moses asked.

'Yes, it's not far from here, it's only around the corner."

By the time Moses and I got to the junkyard, it was noon. It took us, about an hour and a half to find the time machine.

When Moses and I got back to the year 1775, we stopped our other selves from accidently killing George Washington, and Benjamin Franklin.

We then headed to the present, found our parents, and gave them both big hugs, at the same time agreeing to never tease anybody ever again. Also, nobody ever remembered a thing, except Moses and I.
