Jump Into The Future

"Back in my day we didn't have cloning machines!" Gramps said to me and Soria. "I tell ya, technology is ruining the world!"

"But cloning machines are a life saver! Without them, even a pile of sludge would cost hundreds of neopoints!" I didn't even know why I was trying to argue. I always lost my arguments. I was just a small Grundo, while Gramps was one of those old, deranged Chias. He hated the way he looked. He'd look in the mirror, and shout, "Othon, you've given me another grey hair!" every morning.

Gramps turned the TV on (it was the only invention he liked), and the next thing we knew, we saw Couta Falton, the world reknown news reporter, raving about a new invention, the Lab Ray version 11.38. It was garunteed to make you look and feel younger. And as an added plus, it could change you into any type of pet you wanted. A Sponge Blumaroo, a Maraquan Kougra, anything in existance. Gramps eyes widened with delight.

"Lads..." Gramps was cut off by Soria.

"Grampa, I'm a girl."

"Kids..." he corrected, "I'm headed over to that machine whether I like technology or not! And you're coming with me!"

After nearly 4 hours of walking (Gramps hated hovercars), they finally arrived at the Lab Ray version 11.38. Fortunately, there was no line because it was so late out when they arrived. Gramps walked up to the scientist, who appeared to be the one responsible for such an invention.

"Is this thingamajigger allowed to be used?", Gramps asked the scientist.

"Sorry, it's closed. We found out about a bug in the computer program that's been turning innocent pets into..."

"None of that nonsense!" Gramps moved closer to the scientist. "Zap me with this ray or I'll see you in the Battledome!" Gramps showed his weak, tired muscles.

But being fearful of old Neopets, the scientist gladly let Gramps use the ray. Gramps stood under the ray, waiting anxiously. "You better make me into the world's coolest, youngest Thornberry Chia Neopia's ever seen!"

With a few flicks of switches and turning of dials, the ray began to glow a greenish color. It fired a similar colored laser at Gramps, who immediately began to change form rapidly. Suddenly, he shrunk.

Othon and Soria quickly went to see what happened. Gramps was no more. All that remained was a Mortogberry, which began to talk.

"Technology is ruining the world!" it said.
