Summary[]
1945[]
A girl with strawberry blonde hair was writing a letter. "Whoever shall read needs to know that I'm not doing this out of spite. My dear Phillipe meant the world to me and I can't imagine why. To my family I'm sorry things had to happen this way and I hope you don't suffer from the actions I take. I love you all very much. Anabel". Anabel puts the note in a hardcover book.
2013[]
A scientist named Ted sets up his science equipment. "That just might work!", Ted said. "What might work", his technician Donny said. "The circuit to my time machine", Ted answers. His examiner Luke said "Time machine, that's nonsense". "It's not nonsense, it's science", Ted says. "We should try it out, because I don't believe in time travel", Donny said. "Yeah, let's go", Ted said. "I know the perfect place to test this out", Ted's friend Wen said.
The group goes to the elevator. "I think we've done it. What time is it?", Ted asked. "It's 11:14, so get the timeline to the same direction", Luke said. "Alright, you ready?", Ted said. "Yep, it's ready", Donny said. Ted presses one of the buttons on the elevator. The elevator starts to make an earthquake. "The time energy is launching and it's acting very well, so it will take us a few minutes earlier", Wen said. The elevator stops the earthquake and it opens. "I think we're here, in what time?", Ted asked. Luke checks his phone. "11:21", Luke said. "Looks like we jumped further", Ted said.
"So, what do we travel next?", Ted asked. "I'll go to the year 3000", Luke said. "Maybe, we can go see the dinosaurs", Donny said. "How about 1753 when Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity. That was a shocking discovery", Ted said. The group runs into another group. "Hey, watch where you're going", a boy named Kyle said. They discovered a note on the ground. "Oh look, it's a note", a boy named Bob said. "It says "Whoever shall read needs to know that I'm not doing this out of spite. My dear Phillipe meant the world to me and I can't imagine why. To my family I'm sorry things had to happen this way and I hope you don't suffer from the actions I take. I love you all very much. Anabel X". What a crazy note, how about we travel to the place where it was written?", Wen said. "Time travel? What are you talking about", a girl named Kira said. "Time travel? I don't believe in time travel", Kyle said. "Come with us and we will show you", Ted said. "I would love time traveling", a girl named Olga said. "I dreamed about saving the world, let's go back to 1945", Bob said. "I don't believe in time travel, but I guess I'll give it a shot", Kyle said. They both entered the elevator.
"Everybody ready?", Ted said. The two groups agreed. "Okay, 1945", Donny said. The elevator starts to make an earthquake. "Mayday! Mayday! The equipment is jammed! It's broken! It's broken!", Ted yelled. The elevator makes a loud crash. "You go ahead without us", Donny said. "Yeah, when you go back, we'll fix it", Ted said.
1945[]
At the pub. "What can I get you?", the bartender asked the customer. The customer asked "I'd like a coke, please". The bartender pours a glass of coke and gives it to him. "I can't believe the war is over", a guy named Greg said. "Yeah, that's been a very long one", a teen named John said. "I feel bad for Anabel's brother's passing, though", Greg said. "Yeah, it's very tragic", John said. The group came in the pub. "Who are you guys?", John asked. "Who are we? Who are you?", Luke said. "Nothing ever changes in 1945", John said. "Wait a minute, 1945? Wow, that thing really does work", Kyle said. "We're looking for Anabel, do you know where Anabel is?", Olga asked. "Anabel passed away. It was a tragedy", Greg said. "The weird thing is that everyone around town has reported seeing her ghost. So, we better walk out", John said. "Ghosts? I don't believe in ghosts", Kira said. "The same weird thing is that people have been reported missing", Greg said. "Maybe, you can help us?", Kyle asked. "You know what, maybe we will help you, come on", John answered. They both leave the pub. The bartender turns to the table. "But, you didn't even finish your tab yet".
The group both gathered to listen to John. "So, you had to be most careful. Swearing that Anabel's ghost would be sighted most. The reason is we used to come down here and play piano by her side. We've played hours on it, when suddenly she appeared, and the piano fell into pieces. Now, you gotta be careful, if you see Anabel just run". They began to follow John, while walking Anabel's ghost starts following them. Anabel's ghost has black eyes with black tears dripping from her eye sockets and her hair covering her face. The ghost makes distorted whispers
"Lucky you, we've gotten her out of the way", John said. Suddenly, Luke's body gets disintegrated and his body transfers into Anabel's ghost. They screamed and they run far away from Anabel. When they run through the hallways into the stairwells, Kyle's body gets disintegrated and his body transfers into Anabel's ghost. The group both stopped for a second. "This is too freaky, we have to go back to the time machine", Bob said. "Wait, what's a time machine?", Greg asked. "No time to explain, we just gotta get there", Wen said. "Follow me!" As they both run to the elevator, Olga stopped. Olga's body gets disintegrated and her body transfers into Anabel's ghost. The group runs to the elevator, while Bob trips and continues to run, unaware that Anabel's ghost is following them.
At the elevator, "Come on, let's go!", Kira said. "The time machine is not installed yet", Ted said. "It doesn't matter, we just gotta go", Wen said. "Okay", Ted said. He presses the button to close the elevator. "Wait!", Bob said while the elevator is closing. "But, we can't leave Bob behind", Kira said. "It's just not possible, we have to leave Bob behind", John said. "But, were from 1945, what shall we do in the future?", Greg asked. "Don't worry, I think you should love the present and where we came from", Ted said.

The elevator opened. "We're back!", Ted said. The group all celebrated their return. While celebrating, they were unaware that Anabel's ghost is behind them.
