Terrance was in the kitchen drinking a smoothie.

Thomas and Theodore came in.

Thomas: Thought you could get away with sending me to an eternal sleep, huh?

Theodore: And thought you could get away with freezing ME in a solid block of ice!

Terrance looked at his remote control in his lap.

Terrance: HUH?!

Theodore: You’re going to pay!

Tara went in.

Tara: I’m not really in the mood for any arguing now. Who wants chocolate chip pancakes?

Terrance: I’m having a smoothie to go. I’m going to Tami’s to… convince… her into taking me out for the evening.

Terrance flashed out while holding his remote.

Tara started to feel lightheaded.

Tara: Uhhhh…

Theodore: Is everything okay, mom?

Tara: It sure is! Don’t you worry.

Tara stumbled to the kitchen.

Theodore: Is she really okay, dad?

Thomas: How should I know?

An hour later, Tara was in the living room with her friends.

Daisy: And I’ll be going on a little trip to the future to prevent Donald Trump from winning the election. Me, being from 2121, knows that the USA was in a detrimental state during 2020.

Jenny: Say what?

Kelly: That’s totally crazy. Right, Tara?

Tara was asleep.

Daisy: Uhhh, Tara?

Tara suddenly awoke.

Tara: I absolutely agree! Wait… what were we talking about again?

Daisy: Never mind. Are you sure everything is okay?

Tara: I’m sure… but at the same time… no. It’s not.

Terrance suddenly flashed in.

Terrance: Daisy, we need to have a word…

Daisy: What happened?

Terrance: This remote control! It sucks! Theodore was supposed to be encased in ice and dad was supposed to sleep from an eternity!

Daisy: Wait… what?

Terrance: And when I was at Tami’s, everything was going according to plan… until she admitted that Phillip is now her new boyfriend. I don’t believe it!

Daisy: And you used the remote control I gave you?

Terrance: Yeah! But the results seem to be temporary.

Daisy: They are. Yeah, that’s why Pim gave it to me.

Terrance: And you didn’t even bother TELLING me everything will be temporary?!

Terrance threw the remote control across the room and flashed out.

Daisy: So, anyways, Tara…

Tara was fast asleep again.

Kelly: Tara?

Tara suddenly awoke.

Tara: I’m so sorry. I… have to get some rest. I’m afraid you’ll all have to go.

Daisy: Oh. Okay. Get well soon, Tara.

Daisy, Jenny, and Kelly left just as Tara dozed off again.

Thomas came into the living room and grinned evilly.

Thomas: Everything is going according to plan. Soon, she’ll die peacefully and I’ll have her powers… forever!
