Y2K

They arrived in the year 2000 without any problems. Thankfully, the Y2K bug was already fixed during the time of Drake's chosen date. Celine remembered the rumors surrounding it when she's just ten years old. She's more concerned about her game console during that time.

But now that they are back to the past, they will be able to change what they did wrong before. She only realized that Drake was also ten years old during this time. They are the same age and now, she worries that Drake might have miscalculated his age before going back.

"Ahm...Drake, I just realized that we're only ten in 2020." Celine told the doctor.

The horrified look on Drake's face is priceless! It's unbelievable that a genius like him miscalculated his past age. He put his palm on his forehead as if thinking how he only just realized that as well. What's wrong with him?

"That's fine. We can travel back in 2011 later. For now, let's just wait for Chad's report about the wormhole." Drake suggested and went on a huge rock nearby to sit down.

In 2020, the lab doesn't exist yet, and currently, they are surrounded by trees and rocks. It seems that they are near a stream currently. They can hear the water gushing nearby. Celine attempts to look for the sound of water but Drake stops her.

"Don't go anywhere! Were not familiar with this place during this time." Drake warned her.

"It's the same place where I grew up. I remember the stream was at the back of our old house before." She informed him.

"Whatever! Just don't go too far. We have to go to the correct year." Drake said coldly.

"Okay, I'll just check the area for a few minutes." She told him and started walking.

In reality, Celine is already hungry from what they have been doing earlier. They went back to the past without eating in the present time. She already lost her sense of time because they originally came from the future. From what she can remember, they only had coffee for breakfast.

Celine smiled as she saw the stream familiar with her childhood. It's the same place she played with her cousins before. That means that she should find that guava tree somewhere nearby. It's what they eat as a snack while playing and they don't want it to go back to their house just yet.

She walked to the right side of the stream and there she found the guava tree with a lot of ripe fruits above. It's not that tall from what she remembered. But maybe because she's a grown-up now. She immediately picks the ripe guava fruits and eats some. Then she remembered Drake. He might also be hungry now from all their time traveling.

Looking at the fruits she was able to forge, she feels like a kid again. It's satisfying to see a lot of fruits to eat without the need to pay for them. They can eat the fruits for free and she takes another bite from her guava. She's planning to eat first and then take some for Drake. He needs to eat already. Maybe that's why he miscalculated his age.

Feeling full from eating a lot of ripe guavas, Celine decided to pick some more for the road. She wants to make sure that she will not be starving too much when they arrive in 2010. She's in the middle of picking more guavas when she hears kids talking and giggling from afar. When she looked in the direction of the sound, she saw the younger version of herself along with her cousins.

"Darn it!" She exclaimed.

She can't be seen by her younger or older version. Drake told her to be careful about it because it can confuse her old self. Seeing her younger version makes her amazed already. But if she sees her grown-up self when she's only ten, it can cause psychological trauma to her childhood.

Celine runs away from the guava tree and tries to hide from the shrubs nearby. It's better than to be seen by her childhood. Her cousins may also get confused if they see her in the flesh. She decided that she will wait for them to go away before she runs back where Drake is waiting.

She's amazed at how cute she looks before now that she's seeing her ten-year-old self. Her cousins Au, Marc, and Fritz are also adorable. At present, they no longer talk much since they are already in Canada. Looking at her past makes her nostalgic and just stays hidden as she watches them play.

"What took you so long?" Drake asked her, sounding irritated.

"Sorry, I need to hide from my younger self. Here, I brought you some guavas." She offered.

Dake stares blankly at her but to her surprise, he takes the guavas from her hand. He started eating and for a moment, he looked happy. Maybe it reminded him of his childhood as well. Celine looks at him with a smile on her face until Drake is finished eating the fruits.

"The guavas are sweeter during this time," Celine commented.

"Yeah, they were. But you should have told me that you're already hungry. Let's go and grab a decent meal!" Drake suggested.

"But I thought we have to wait for Chad's report?" She asked.

"We can go back here afterward. He's not calling yet anyway." Drake explained.

"Alright, where are we having lunch?" She asked.

"I remember a Chinese restaurant when I was ten. Maybe we can find it." Drake replied.

Without any further delay, they started to walk towards the north. Celine also remembered that there's a Chinese restaurant near this area. Her aunt always takes her there with her cousins. She just can't remember the name of it but now that they are back in the past, she's planning to remember what it's called.

"We're here!" Drake announced as they looked at the business district of the city in the year 2000.
