The Danger Shop didn't look like an Eastern European graveyard this week, but the desks had been moved to the sides in favour of a few odd looking things in the centre of the room. A phonebooth, a Victorian looking chair, and an eighties sportscar took up most of the space in the room, and all three of them seemed to have very odd wires and attachments and levers added to them.

The Professor leaned against the hood of the car while he waited for the class to arrive. "Good afternoon, students!" he said, as soon they had filled into the room. "Today's class subject is time travel. Time travel involves using a special device -- as such the ones behind me -- to puncture through the folds in the space time continuum to take yourself to a different time and occasionally a different place. There are many different methods of achieving this, many of which involve the use of a machine to take you from time to time."

He grinned malevolently at the class. "But the best way to learn about time travel is to throw you right into the deep end." A passed out a number of sealed cards. "Each of you have been given a different objective. You will pick one of these three time machines, and try to fix it. Luckily, this is entirely a holographic simulation, so you can't permanently damage the timeline. Try not to mess up the space-time continuum too much."

Up and ready!

Talk to each other, take notes, wonder where Prof Tomoe got a DeLorean from, whatever.

There will be some NPCs in these threads, but I've put everyone in partners since I won't be around in the morning.

The world is going to be destroyed unless you can find humpback whales from somewhere, and unfortunately, they've been extint in your time for hundreds of years. Go back in time to find some and bring them back to the future.

Through an error in time, your future Mother has fallen in love with you instead of your future Father. Whoops. If you want to keep existing, you'll have to find a way to get them to fall in love with each other while avoiding any uncomfortable incestuous affairs.

The good news is you have discovered a reoccurring portal in time. The bad news is you brought someone through into the present. The badder news is that unless they g back to their proper place in time, the elevator will never be invented.

And the baddest news is that not only is the Duke your ex's great-grandfather, he's also pretty hot.

You haven't studied all year, and you are about to fail your final history project. Unfortunately, if you do, a future utopia full of world peace and awesome rock music will never exist. You are to use the time machine to create the most excellent history presentation ever.

He's here, he's a sexy Chibi Tomoe clone, and he's likely not from this time period.

Once again, he's avoided teaching! He's trying to see how many weeks he can go without a real lecture.

Time travel is my very favourite scifi trope, and I love movies that feature it. Bonus points if you can name all four movies featured here.

Valentine, who did take a peek into the future once thanks to a bit of fruit, but didn't much like what he saw there.

Valentine watched the lecture with interest.

Time travel that didn't involve something that resembled an apricot pulled from a giant pumpkin. This, he had to see.

Sidling up to the shiny DeLorean thingie, Valentine poked at the flux capacitor a few times curiously while he waited for his partner.

And wondered what the heck a humpback whale was, exactly.

Zack Addy, the one were the person is their own mother, father, and child.

Zack frowned. "How are we supposed to fit at whale in that?"

Cher Horowitz, who just caught that movie with Hugh Jackman coming into the future from Victorian times or whatever on cable

Cher wondered if being from 1995 gave her extra credit.

Johnny Storm, and the one with the kick ass car that crazy doc made.

Cher automatically went for the DeLorean's driver's seat. This is a bad thing.

"I want to use the car. I want to drive the car..."

Victor Von Doom, who really enjoys the classic novel where the man ended up far in the future and fought evolved humanoids.

He probably also would have enjoyed parts of the 2002 movie version, especially the part where the woman is run down by a horse carriage in a surprisingly hilarious way.

Time travel.

For once, Tomoe was talking about something that actually held interest for Victor. His notes were more attentive than usual.

I believe it's Star Trek IV, Back to the Future, Kate & Leopold (guessing on that one based on the fact that I remember the intial WTFing at the unintentional incest angle, thank you Richard Roeper for pointing it out in your review), and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Victor was beginning to suspect that Tomoe was punishing him by always pairing him with Storm. "You can drive the car if it ceases your whining."

Valentine gave his shoulders a shrug and grinned.

"It's bigger than the telephone booth. Perhaps we can hook a tow-rope up to the whale... thingie and bring it to the future that way."

Valentine obviously had no idea what a whale was.
