"Hey Lise," Derek said as the trio continued walking.
"Yeah, bro?" she replied.
"You might wanna take a look at this. It's, uh," he stammered.
Lisa stopped, followed by Bethany. Derek showed his phone to the two, asking, "Isn't that... yesterday's date?" He scrolled through his phone. "Yeah, my text logs to you are dated for later on today?"
Bethany wasn't sure what Derek was getting at without context, while Lisa just squinted.
"Well, that's enough of this walking," Derek said, sitting on the curb, "Let's get a ride." He opened up his taxi app and submitted a ride request.
Lisa's eyes widened. "Oh, shit. So you mean we..." she began, peeking at the shrink time? ray hidden in the backpack. "When we tripped, the ray zapped us back a day? It's yesterday.. today?"
Smash-cut to world-brain, then galaxy-brain meme as Lisa tried to wrap her head around the implications. She hoped that this wasn't the kind of time travel that caused instant repercussions back to the present. Maybe it was just some sort of copy of the past? The meme vanished in a puff of imaginary smoke as her million-mile gaze snapped back to reality...
"Hey. Earth to Lisa," Derek said, waving a hand in front of her face.
"Oh, um, yeah, sorry," Lisa said, gathering her thoughts.
Derek turned to Bethany, hoping to alleviate her visible confusion. "So, uh, have you seen any good movies about time travel?" Beth squinted and tilted her head a bit, and after some thought, shook it.
Their ride showed up, and the trio hopped in. Where did they head?
"Yeah, bro?" she replied.
