It was the early day in Retroville. The Neutron twins were currently at home sitting down on the couch in the living room watching TV with Carl and Sheen. Jimmy looked very interested in what they were watching. Carl and Sheen on the other hand looked really bored. Carl was falling asleep and Sheen was halfheartedly playing with one of his Ultra Lord action figures.

As for Penelope she didn't mind since she liked to learn. The TV show host for the program they were watching oddly seemed bored and almost lifeless as he spoke. The host panted for a moment. "-And that concludes the first tenth of our very long discussion of the electrometric balance in the left hemisphere of the brain." said the Host. "Oh haha, who would've thought that the frontal lobe had that much influence over the corpus callosum, huh?" Jimmy asked turning to his friends and sister.

Penelope nodded her head in agreement. "I guess it's safe to say there are some things we still don't know about the brain." said Penelope. "Not me." Carl told Jimmy. "Me neither, hey Jimmy, you think you could come up with an invention you know that changes the channel? Yunno? I don't know maybe like-um I don't know a remote control!" Sheen replied clearly bored out of his mind. "Yeah, Jim, like this is informative and all, but I think I'd rather be covered in bees." Carl said pulling out his inhaler.

Carl pressed the button and breathed in his medication before speaking again. "And I'm allergic." Carl added. "Well it wasn't all painful Jimmy; I liked the part about the medulla oblongata. I don't know what it means. But I love the way it sounds." said Sheen. Sheen leapt off the couch and started thrusting his Ultra Lord forward as he spoke in a deep voice. "Back! Or I'll slay thee with my medulla oblongata!" Sheen cried.

Penelope shook her head a little. "What do you guys wanna watch?" Jimmy asked. "Ultra Lord!" Sheen replied. "Muffy the Vampire Annihilator." said Penelope. "I'm pretty much good with anything that's not this." said Carl.

"Alright." Jimmy said as he picked up the remote. Jimmy was just about to change the channel when the show cut to a commercial. An image of a man who seemed really peppy appeared on the TV screen. "Don't touch that dial! What would you say if I told you, you could harness all the information in the universe?" said the man.

"All of it?" Jimmy said with a hint of interest in his voice. "Tha-ha-ha-ha-at's right!" said the man as he continued. Jimmy stared at the TV surprised. "You can possess infinite knowledge and it's all right here in the new one thousand volume set of the encyclopedia of infinite knowledge." the man explained as he held up an encyclopedia. Jimmy continued to watch transfixed with the idea.

An image of a wall of giant encyclopedia's appeared as the man kept talking. "What ancient civilization built an entire royal palace from shredded wheat? What species of all can be milked like a cow? Where is Waldo! Tha-at's right! One thousand volumes." said the man. A smile crept up Jimmy's face. Penelope looked at her brother. She could tell from the look on his face that her twin was deeply interested.

"Just order now and you'll receive a new volume every week for nineteen point two-three years! The encyclopedia of infinite knowledge! Order now o-o-or you're an idiot!" the man cried giving a two thumbs up before the commercial ended. "Wow! Did you guys see that?" Jimmy cried. Carl and Sheen didn't reply as they were clearly not paying attention. Sheen was playing with his Ultra Lord figure pretending the toy was flying. Carl was looking off in the distance, but was quickly shook out of it by Sheen due to having Ultra Lord up in his face.

Sheen shook the toy in front of Carl's nose a little before stopping. Penelope on the other hand was paying attention. "Yeah. I noticed." said Penelope. "There's never been an encyclopedia like that ever! I've gotta have it." said Jimmy. Sheen who was still playing with Ultra Lord, but mainly fiddling with his buttons and features turned his attention to Jimmy.

"That's so crazy because I so don't want it." Sheen replied. "Sorry guys I gotta go talk to my mom right now." Jimmy told his friends as he got up off the couch. Carl looked at Sheen who just rolled his eyes as Jimmy walked off to the kitchen. Penelope however knew one important thing about stuff advertised on TV and that was they were usually pretty expensive. 'I get the feeling mom is not going to buy it.' Penelope thought to herself before getting up to follow her brother.

After a little talk with his mother in the kitchen Judy agreed to make the call about the encyclopedia set. Judy picked up the kitchen phone and dialed the number Jimmy gave her. The phone rang until Judy got an answer. "Hi I'm calling about the encyclopedia? Yes." Judy replied to the person on the line. Jimmy stood in front of Judy grinning clearly excited.

Penelope stood next to her brother. She could tell he really wanted the encyclopedia set. "And how much is the set?" Judy asked. "Oh, hm uh well thank you anyway." Judy replied to the person on the line after being told the price. Judy hung up as for Jimmy he didn't even need his mother to tell him they couldn't afford it and walked out of the kitchen feeling disappointed.

Penelope followed after her twin. Not long after leaving the kitchen the twins approached their father who was out in the garage repairing one of his duck models. Jimmy sat on the workbench as Hugh stood in front of him trying to remove the duck models head since it was on backwards. "Eh well Jimmy your mother sort of keeps track of the finances and I-" Hugh told his son as he managed to pop off the ducks head. "Don't." Hugh finished

"Dad they're educational. Encyclopedia's are an investment." Jimmy explained. Hugh looked at Jimmy for a moment before answering. "Yeah, but they make my brain... twitch-uh. Now what you want to do Jimmy is, be thankful for things you already have." Hugh replied. Penelope nodded a little in agreement knowing this was true. "Look we all. Want things. Would I like to have a six-foot duck sculpture with a years supply of free pie? You bet I would, but we don't have that kind of money." Hugh explained.

Penelope knew this was also true. Last week she saw a baseball bat in a store window. Penelope thought about buying it, but when she saw the price she knew there was no way she was going to be able to afford it. "Oh, I wish we were rich." said Jimmy. "Oh well there was a time Jim when that was almost a reality. You know years ago I almost invested in McSpanky's burger factory." Hugh told his son. Jimmy and Penelope stared at their father surprised to hear this.

"McSpanky's? Really?" Jimmy said astonished. Penelope was at a loss for words. Hugh actually almost had a part in the founding of the McSpanky's burger factory. It was almost unbelievable. "Sure, fifteen years ago I picked up a scruffy-looking McSpanky on the side of the road. He didn't have penny to his name told me all about this grand scheme he had; An assembly line of hard little tasteless burger patties to the masses. Disguising them with inexpensive condiments and yummy buns. He offered me a full partnership for fifty dollars of startup money and a back rub." Hugh explained.

"And you didn't do it?" Jimmy asked. "Well Jimmy I almost did it. But then I decided to use that money for a more... important reason." Hugh replied. Jimmy made a disgusted face at his fathers reasoning. "Man has to have his priorities." Hugh added. "Aah!" Jimmy cried jumping off the workbench feeling frustrated.

"I need money is what I need." Jimmy said as he walked out of the garage. Hugh shook his head as Jimmy left. Penelope followed after her twin. Later the two were sitting on the couch in Jimmy's clubhouse with Goddard. "Ah gee Goddard, Penelope it's not fair!" said Jimmy.

Penelope held her brothers hand to let him know she was there for him. She couldn't blame Jimmy for wanting the encyclopedia set since he liked learn new things. "I wish I could go back in time and convince dad to invest in McS-" Jimmy was saying, but then froze. "What's the matter Jimmy?" Penelope asked a little concerned. Jimmy having come up with an idea jumped off the couch.

"Wait that's it. If we go back in time, I can convince dad to invest in McSpanky's and then we'll have all the money we'll ever need!" Jimmy cried. Penelope stood up with a thoughtful look on her face. "Yeah. With that kind of money Mom and Dad would be able to afford more things that we need and sometimes want. And who knows it might be a little interesting." Penelope said agreeing with Jimmy. With that the two headed down into the lab and Jimmy quickly got to work. After a little while Jimmy was finally finished.

The twins called Carl and Sheen down into the lab so Jimmy could present his new invention. Jimmy pressed buttons on a control panel connected to a red phone booth. "Gentlemen and lady I give you, the Time Booth! Just punch in the time and visit the period of your choosing!" Jimmy explained. Penelope gave her brother a thumb up. "Go on step inside." Jimmy added.

"Uhm has this thing been tested by an independent laboratory?" Carl asked a little worriedly as he cautiously half stepped into the machine. "H-who cares Carl!" Sheen said stepping into the machine corralling Carl further inside. "Where we going Jimmy?" Sheen asked. "Okay our dad met Hank McSpanky fifteen years ago." Jimmy replied. Jimmy pressed some buttons on the machine as he continued.

"So I'll just set this to fifteen years in the past and we'll just-" Jimmy was telling his friends when Carl interrupted him. "Hold the phone, you mean McSpanky's burger factory McSpanky? Carl asked. "That's my favorite place in the whole wide world!" said Sheen. "Okay enough you guys. We're ready for the maiden voyage." Jimmy told them as he and Penelope stepped into the machine. "Maiden voyage?" Carl and Sheen said in unison.

"You're bringing a girl with us?" Sheen asked stupidly. The twins shook their heads at Sheen. "I don't think that's what Jimmy meant Sheen and I'm a girl." Penelope pointed out. Before Sheen could even speak the Time Booth erupted with a bright light that engulfed them. Soon the light faded once it did the four found themselves in a dark and empty concrete room.

"Wow the past is so, dark!" said Sheen. "And spooky." Carl added. "No guys the lab used to be a basement." Jimmy explained. "Yeah." Penelope said knowing this to be true. She also recalled that the basement used to scare her at least before Jimmy converted it into his lab.

The twins stepped out of the machine. "We did it! We went back fifteen years in time." Jimmy said as he and Penelope marched towards the stairs. Carl and Sheen followed after the twins taking in the surroundings. There was a faint light emitting from the top of the stairs. The four could also make out what sounded like music unlike any they've ever heard before.

Once they made it to the top of the stairs entering the hall the music was easier to hear. Jimmy, Penelope, Carl and Sheen peeked into the living room a little. The whole house looked different. There were lava lamps, a record player playing music, a disco ball and a zebra printed couch. A man with an afro wearing a white disco suit along with pink tinted glasses was in the center of the room dancing.

This was a younger Hugh Neutron. "Yeah! I just love those three guys with a high pitched female-type voice." said Young Hugh. "Ah aha ah like to eat pie!" Young Hugh sang. Penelope's eyes widened a little as a young woman with hair reaching past her shoulders wearing a shirt and skirt combo, a wraparound headband, a chunky belt and a tiny pair of sunglasses walked up to Hugh. This was a younger Judy.

"Check out the new moves, sugar booger, I call it the monkey grinder." Young Hugh told Young Judy. Hugh began miming a grinding motion while making a groaning sound. "Oh Hugh! You're so groovy! Grind that monkey!" Young Judy cried. Carl looked at the twins. Jimmy and Penelope smiled sheepishly.

"I'm grinding the chimp too!" Young Hugh said cheerfully as he danced. "Ooh oh!" Young Judy cried dancing along. Jimmy, Penelope, Carl and Sheen watched horrified. Carl looked over at Jimmy. "Jimmy can we go back to the present? The past is kinda dorky." Carl complained.

"N-not yet Carl, I've gotta convince Dad to invest in McSpanky." Jimmy replied. The twins began walking up to the younger Hugh and Judy as they kept dancing. Carl and Sheen followed after the two. "Mom? Dad?" Jimmy said getting Hugh and Judy's attention. Judy gasped upon seeing the four children.

"Hey you cats don't live here... do you?" said Young Hugh. "How did you get in here?" Young Judy asked. Carl and Sheen seemed a little perplexed as to why the two adults looked surprised. Jimmy glanced at Carl and Sheen. "Of course, they don't know me and Penelope we don't exist yet." Jimmy quietly told his friends.

"Would you let me handle this?" Sheen quietly asked Jimmy. "We come from the future!" Sheen cried. Hugh and Judy gasped. Penelope's face paled. "No, no, ha, ha." said Jimmy as he covered Sheen's mouth.

"You know, what he means the door, the door was open, so we just uh uh-" Jimmy lied as he took his hands off Sheen's mouth. "Came inside?" Sheen asked finishing Jimmy's sentence. "Yeah, your crib." Carl added. "It looks really nice." Penelope complimented. "Uh I'm Jimmy, this is my sister Penelope and these are our friends, Carl and Sheen." Jimmy introduced as he gestured to his friends and sister.

Sheen and Penelope raised their hands as did Carl only he had his hand in a Vulcan salute from Star Trek. "Hi platobaraniptco." Carl said snorting at the end of his sentence. "Oh Jimmy, Penelope uh, I love those names." Young Judy said with a smile. "Hehehe-eh that's quite a wild sized noggin ya got going there, son. You're like a Maude eh buffalo headed boy. Now I'm all for freedom buffalo boy, but you guys! You can't just go busting into a cool cat's bachelor pad." Young Hugh told Jimmy. The twins eyes widened in surprise.

"Bachelor pad!? You mean you two aren't married yet?" Jimmy said a little shocked. Judy shot Hugh a look. "Marriage is for the older scene man, besides Judy-cakes only lives five minutes from here. And Hugh doggy-dogs a free spirit! We let love rule, the wind is our minister and true love is our chapel. Ah." Young Hugh replied. Judy leaned forward snapping her fingers. "Oh Hugh-bee!" said Young Judy. Judy ran forward and hugged Hugh.

Carl made a face. "Ew! Make it stop Jimmy! I'm-" Carl cried gagging into his hand. Judy moved slightly out of her hug with Hugh. She looked at the twins. "You and your sister seem familiar somehow buffalo boy. Are you two a couple of Hugh-bee Dooby's neighbors?" Young Judy asked.

"Hugh-bee Dooby, yeah we live down the street and um-" Jimmy started to tell Judy before turning to Hugh. "Listen can I talk to you for a minute in private?" Jimmy asked Hugh. Jimmy and Hugh walked over to the couch and sat down. Hugh played with his afro a little. He watched and felt it jiggle as he goofed around with it.

Jimmy immediately got down to business. "Okay listen I know we just met and all, but you have to trust me on this one. Now when you meet a man named Hank McSpanky." Jimmy started to explain. "Oh you mean the smelly hobo with the funny eye?" Young Hugh asked rotating his left eye a little. "You know him!" Jimmy cried. "Yeah, I just gave him a ride the other day. McSpanky's got some wacky burger scheme that he wants me to invest my last fifty dollars in, but I-" Young Hugh explained, but Jimmy interrupted him.

"Hey, hey, do it." Jimmy told Hugh. "What?" Young Hugh said with a confused look. "Invest, invest in McSpanky's burger factory." said Jimmy. "I-I did consider it, but there's something very special I'm planning on using that money for. A man has to have his priorities." Young Hugh replied before winking at Jimmy. "Listen, listen DA- uh Hugh. Hugh-bee dooby do?" said Jimmy.

"Hey, hey, hey, only the chicks can call me that." Young Hugh told Jimmy. "Sorry, you've got to invest! McSpanky's burger factory will be huge and you'll be rich!" said Jimmy. Hugh seemed to be tuning Jimmy out a little as he listened to the music and bobbed his head to it. "Oh, oh, and when you're older and have a son, make sure you get him the one thousand volume set of the encyclopedia of infinite knowledge." Jimmy added.

Hugh in disbelief made a face at Jimmy. "I gotta go!" Jimmy said hopping off the couch. With that the four returned to the Time Booth. Like before the machine erupted with a bright light as the four were returned to the present. They stepped out of the machine glad to be home.

"Haha we're back!" Carl cried. Penelope sighed in relief. "Yeah bu-but everything looks the same..." Sheen piped in as he noticed nothing was different about Jimmy's lab. "Well maybe he didn't take my advice?" Jimmy suggested. "Come on." Jimmy added gesturing for his friends and sister to follow.

The four went up into the house and started walking into the living room. The four stopped as they all began to stare in awe at the sight before them. The houses interior was completely different. The living room had white marble floors and smooth sleek architecture. There was a giant fireplace display, a massive golden duck statue holding a shiny globe of the Earth and just in the center were two high backed black chairs trimmed with gold.

Sitting between the chairs was a lamp and a small stack of gold bars. "Uh Jimmy, I think he took your advice." said Carl as he stared amazed. "Ha ha! We're rich! We're really rich!" Jimmy cried cheerfully. Penelope almost couldn't believe it. "We're rich!" Carl cried.

"Uh Carl Jimmy and Penelope are rich not us." Sheen pointed out. "Oh okay." Carl replied. The twins noticed their parents sitting in the chairs. Jimmy and Penelope walked up with Carl and Sheen in tow. "It's the principle of the thing." said Hugh. "I know!" Judy cried

Uh Mom? Dad?" Jimmy said as the four walked around to the front of the chairs. Penelope's eyes widened at what they saw. Hugh and Judy due to altering the past were wearing fancy clothes. They both had sleeker hair that was pulled back. Hugh was wearing a three-piece maroon suit with a white popped collar, a pair of sunglasses and a gold tie.

Judy on the other hand was wearing a black hat covered in shiny buttons and rhinestones, sunglasses along with a pale dress that had a belt and a white collar. Hugh and Judy were both talking on cellphones instead of each other. "I don't care if he is my, dad, lifesaving operations are expensive. I mean it's my money after all. If give him some I'll have less." Hugh told the person on the line. The two didn't even seem to notice the children in front of them. Sheen gently poked Judy's free hand.

"Ow be careful! That's my credit card hand!" Judy cried. "Mom! Dad!" Jimmy and Penelope said in unison. "What!" Judy said with a slight tone. "Yeah what?" Hugh asked. "Well- uh how are you guys?" Jimmy asked with a smile.

"I um... Dad would you like to play baseball with me?" Penelope asked hopeful Hugh would consider it. Hugh and Judy just coldly stared at the twins before returning to talking on their phones. "I mean he's got two lungs! Sell one for gosh sake-" Hugh cried. "I still wont make up my mind, I just said-" Judy told the person on the line. "Hey, hey, hey come on we're your son and daughter and wel-" Jimmy started to say, but Judy cut him off.

"Point?" Judy asked. "Huh?" Jimmy said confused. Penelope was also confused. 'Why are Mom and Dad acting like they don't care about us?' Penelope thought. "Tick-tock, tick-tock, oops looks like you two just wasted another chunk of my life. Thanks a lot, Jerry and Paulina." said Hugh sounding a little upset. "It's, Gary and Pamela." Judy tried to correct.

"It's Jimmy! It's Penelope!" the Twins cried in unison. "Whatever we don't have time for this kind of-eh talking and or playing thing you two want to do." Hugh told his children. Judy noticed Carl and Sheen standing near her and curled her lips. "And what are they, doing here? The big one is, odd. And the thin one is, a weirdo." Judy demanded while insulting the boys. Sheen laughed and pointed at Carl, but stopped when he realized he was also insulted.

"Hey! You can't insult us like that!" Carl cried offended with Judy's comments. "Here you go get yourself something nice." Hugh said dismissively as he grabbed a gold bar dropping it in front of Carl and Sheen. The gold bar landed with a loud clatter. Sheen bent over to pick it up. Sheen struggled a little trying to pick up the gold bar due to how heavy it was.

"Sure, they can, let's go, odd guy!" Sheen cheerfully told Carl. "You got it weirdo." Carl replied with a snort as he and Sheen walked away and left the house. "Oh, and here's some for you both too. Buh-bye now." Hugh said dropping a gold bar into Jimmy's hands. Jimmy staggered a little trying to hold it. Penelope moved to help Jimmy hold it, but it was still heavy even with her help.

"What do we do with this?" Jimmy asked confused. "It's heavy." Penelope muttered. "Oh, for heaven's sake!" Judy cried with annoyance in her voice. Judy pulled out a small bell and rang it. "Hilgo!" Judy shouted.

"Hilgo?" Jimmy and Penelope said in unison. A rather tall muscular woman with a gruff and unhappy expression on her face walked into the living room. The twins eyes widened at the sight of her. "Isn't she the lunch lady at the school?" Penelope asked Jimmy using their secret language. "Hilgo, could you take Jimmy and Penelope up to their rooms? They're being all-eh son and daughter-ish again." Judy told Hilgo.

"Ja." Hilgo replied her eyes going cross-eyed as she spoke. Goddard entered the living room and obediently sat down on the floor. Jimmy and Penelope both moved to try to hide behind Hugh's chair not wanting to be anywhere near Hilgo. "Oh and get that contraption out of here. You know I don't like it in the house." Judy added. "Ja." Hilgo replied.

Hilgo went cross-eyed again as she grabbed the twins. With that the twins were taken upstairs by Hilgo. She opened Penelope's bedroom door dropped the girl onto the floor then shut the door. Penelope stood up. Looking around her room was just as she remembered it, but something caught her eye.

It was a glass case full of baseball equipment. There were baseballs of different color's and sizes, mitts, helmets and to her surprise the baseball bat she saw last week was in the case with many other baseball bats. Penelope smiled when she saw the bat, but her smile quickly faded. With Jimmy Hilgo opened his bedroom door as well and just like she did with Penelope she dropped Jimmy onto the floor and shut the door as she left him. Jimmy tenderly rubbed his backside due to the jolting fall.

Jimmy looked around his room was very identical to his room from the original timeline only one thing was different. Jimmy spotted a very large bookcase was at least four or five shelves high. It was crammed full of volumes of the encyclopedia of infinite knowledge. Jimmy smiled excitedly at the display of knowledge before him, but Jimmy's smile quickly fell upon realization of the real price of the books he wanted so badly.

Jimmy's bedroom door opened. Jimmy turned his head to see Penelope who looked a little sad. The two looked at each other as Goddard flew into the room via his propeller ears. Goddard landed in front of the twins. "Ooh, what happened Goddard? Penelope? I thought being rich would be great. But Mom and Dad are-well they're not Mom and Dad..." Jimmy said a little sadly.

"Yeah. Mom and and Dad are more important than a bunch of fancy stuff." Penelope agreed. Jimmy knowing what needed to be done stood up. "Come on Goddard. You too Penelope. Let's get Dad's fifty bucks back." said Jimmy. The twins and Goddard returned to the lab. Jimmy imputed the information into the machine.

Jimmy, Penelope and Goddard quickly stepped into the Time Booth. The machine started flashing and whizzing as the machine took them to the past. With that history was changed once more. Once Jimmy, Penelope and Goddard made it back from the second trip to the past they quickly went up into the house. Jimmy and Penelope ducked their heads around the living room doorway. Everything was back to the way it was supposed to be.

They spotted Hugh sitting on the couch examining his now repaired wooden duck model. Jimmy and Penelope walked over to the couch. Hugh noticing his children held his duck model up for them to see. "What do you think Jim-a-lin? Pen?" Hugh asked. "That's just about the greatest thing I've ever seen!" Jimmy replied.

"It sure is!" Penelope agreed. Jimmy and Penelope hopped onto the couch with smiles on their faces. The twins were both relieved to have everything back to normal. "It's a Montana worm snuffer!" Hugh told his children as he set the duck down on the coffee table. Judy suddenly came up to the three of them.

"Well look here! It's my favorite men and lady!" said Judy. Judy kissed Jimmy and Penelope on their heads before sitting down. "Jimmy your father and I had a talk and we've decided as long as it's for your education we're going to postpone our family vacation. And use that money to order you, your encyclopedia set." Judy told Jimmy. Hugh was frowning a little as Judy said this, but he hummed in agreement. "Ah you know what I'm over that, I-I heard that it's not that great anyway. But thanks though." Jimmy replied feeling appreciative.

"Ho ho that was close!" Hugh said relieved. "Hugh!" Judy whispered. "Eh of course it would have been for a very uh- worthy cause." Hugh added. "Yes." said Judy. Penelope smiled at her brother. "Uh Dad? Can I ask you a question?" Jimmy asked.

"Hm?" Hugh wondered looking at his son. "Well that fifty dollars that you didn't invest with McSpanky, what did you spend it on?" Jimmy asked curious. "Ha ha, well son, I spent it on your mothers wedding ring." Hugh replied. Judy raised her hand showing her wedding ring. "Hmm it was all the money your father had to his name." said Judy.

"You see it's about having your priorities in order son." Hugh told Jimmy with a smile. All four Neutron's were silent and had gentle smiles. Hugh then decided to break the silence. "But man if I had a hundred dollars at the time! We'd be loaded right now! Ducks everywhere! We'd live in Quacker town! And I would require every member of Quacker town to have webbed feet and a duckbill! I would go to the doctor myself and have the webbed-" Hugh began to rant. Judy gently held Jimmy and Penelope's hands as they watched Hugh continue to exuberantly and excitedly rant about anything he'd do if he was rich. It would be safe to say from then on Jimmy became more appreciative of the things he already had.

Well how was it? R&R. Tips on what I can do to improve welcome. No flamers please.
