Preview of sequel to my story: “Smalltimers”

Tad Polaris and Tiffany Tisdale walked around near the Pismo beach pier on July 4th, 1986. It was just after nightfall. Professor Cannoli stayed behind in the hidden time vehicle to monitor their progress.

“Do you think we’re the only time travelers here in this town tonight?” Tiffany asked.

“The death matrix gave us size inhibitors that can be programmed to allow us to be restored to normal size for a half hour, once every 24 hours!” said Tad. “We’ve got to find my Aunt Susan before we shrink back down to an inch tall again! I have no clue where she lived during this time, but I know she was by the pier during the fireworks!”

“How old was your Aunt Susan in 1986?” Tiffany asked.

“She was 15,” Tad replied. “It’s ironic, because according to my Mom, my Aunt Susan only dated bad boys when she was in high school, but when she got married, she had a son who turned out to be un-athletic and nerdy! In our time, my Aunt would defend someone like her son, but back when she was in high school, she would’ve rejected someone like him.”

Tad gave a photograph to Tiffany.

“This is a photo of my Aunt when she was a teenager, be on the lookout for her! We need to use this time as a base of operations to accomplish our mission for the death matrix. If we don’t succeed, the transponders in our small intestines will explode and we’ll be history!”

Just then, the fireworks started. A guy in a leather jacket about 19 years old stepped on Tad’s shoe. Tad turned around to confront him, when he recognized the girl walking with the leather jacketed guy.

“Tiffany!” Tad shouted. “It’s her!”
