The Time Warp Trio


By Luna Lovegood - Posted on 26 February 2010

Today in class we watched a show called the Time Warp Trio. In this episode, Samantha and Fred went back in time to the Greek Olympics.

They landed during a sport in which the competitors throw a heavy disc, and, well, they throw the disc and try to get it farther than their opponent.

After the first person threw, the second person was nowhere to be found. So the only "competitors" to be found were Samantha and Fred. With Fred having a broken arm, Samantha had to throw.
Apparently all three children play ultimate (Ultimate frisbee).

So when Samantha picked up the disc, it was obviously too heavy for her, so Fred handed her a lightweight frisbee and she threw it the farthest in Olympic history.

Then, in the other side of the galaxy, Sam (not Samantha) met the competitor that was missing in the first place. So while they were talking at the space diner, Sam noticed how a women near them pushed a button on a juke-box, and disappeared!

Having need to find his friends, Sam ran over to the time-machine-juke box and transported himself over to the Greek Olympics where Samantha and Fred were. Soon, the judges of the sports found out that Samantha was a girl (she had been wearing a hat, thus hiding her hair making her look like a boy).

The rules back then were that no girls could play in the Olympics. This being so, Samantha was scheduled to be thrown off a cliff, and killed. But, before Sam (back at the diner with his new friend the missing competitor) could leave with the time machine, he had to pay for his snack that he had. Having no Dracmas, the Greek currency, he had to pay with time. Real time. As in taking-an-hour-from-his-life. So he Sam gave an hour from his life that, if it didn't happen, Samantha and Fred wouldn't be in a situation where they were about to die. So the moment he did so, they all went back to the moment before there insane adventure began.
