Narrator: The year is 3000, time travel was discovered to be possible in 2995 and now that we have figured it out, we can view events throughout history. Even video them! However, one may not change the outcome of history. Or they may face a variety of different punishments. From small amounts of jail time to execution depending on what they change. Now, people pay $100-1000 to go on a time travel tour hosted by the World Agency for Time Travel or W.A.T.T. This machine is very fast. At the speed of light. All trips to different places are very brief. They host tours for everyone but, they must follow the rules I listed above. Now, this is a story from my dear friends Hibiki and Peyton. The two lovers who lead Tour 10. This is the story of how one mother nearly changed the outcome of World War II, just by her words.
*A large door opens to unveil a ship dedicated to time travel*
Hibiki: Is everyone ready for a tour through the second World War?
Everyone: Yeah!
Peyton: Let’s get going!
Hibiki and Peyton: Where would you guys like to go?
Little Girl: My great-great-great-great-great grandfather, the Maginot line is honoured in his name! Let’s go there!
Peyton: We could go visit it right now in modern times.
Hibiki: Is it open? That line isn’t open for very long.
Peyton: It’s 2:30 p.m., we should be fine.
Hibiki: Everyone, grab your passports!
Everyone except Hibiki and Peyton: WE GOT ‘EM!
Andy: Mommy? Why do you look sad?
Andy’s Mom: …
Hibiki: We’re here! Get your passports scanned please!
*Everyone scans their passport*
Little boy: What Pokemon do you think this QR code could summon?
Little girl: I dunno.
Hibiki: Welcome to the Maginot Line. This was built between 1929-1938. A good amount of people in the French military believed this would have protected France from another German invasion.
Peyton: However, the Germans went to where the French thought this line was where they would not attack. Near Belgium’s borders. There are truly no rules in war.
Slightly Older Boy: Hibiki, can we go to the Munich Conference?
Hibiki: Why do you wanna go there?
Slightly Older Boy: One of the adults is being anti-semitic. She says, “I found a Jewish pig on board my tour,” To her son. “I should just change the outcome of World War II.”
Hibiki: She’d have to change the outcome of D-Day or Stalingrad in order to change the outcome to a German victory.
Andy’s Mom: I swear to God, I will change the outcome of Stalingrad in order to please you. May the Jews burn in hell for all eternity.
Hibiki: I’ll make sure she doesn’t.
Peyton: Hey is everything okay?
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.
Hibiki: Here’s the laydown, love. There’s this anti-semitic pig on the ride and she wants to change the outcome of World War II.
Peyton: We’ll prevent it. Don’t worry.
Hibiki: Okay Everyone! Next stop is the Munich Conference!
Andy’s Mom to her son: Why are we going there? We have to change history.
Andy to his mom: Why would you want to do that?
Andy’s Mom: Heil the Aryan Race. We are Aryans. The purest race. We may make all those non-Aryans PERISH.
Narrator: The kid your about to see is named Andy and the first person you saw was his anti-semitic mother
*Andy is confused and crying*
Hibiki: Kid, what’s the matter?
Peyton: You ok?
Andy: MY MOMMY WANTS TO CHANGE HISTORY!!! I’M SCARED!!!!
*Hibiki hugs and picks up Andy, who is no more than five*
Hibiki: Don’t worry. Everything will be alright. There will be no need for worry. What does she plan to change?
Andy: She s-s-s-said S-S-S-Stalingrad...whatever that is….
Narrator: Hibiki looked over at his lover with a horrified look.
Peyton: We’ll make sure that your mom won’t do that.
Slightly Older Boy: To Munich!
Hibiki and Peyton: To Munich!
Peyton: Welcome to the Munich Conference, the date right now is September 29, 1938. Right now we’re looking at Hitler signing the Munich Agreement. Mr. Chamberlain thought he was making peace for this time. However, the agreement became forever a sign of appeasement when Hitler invaded the rest Czechoslovakia six months later. Also! The Czechoslovakians were not apart of the Munich Agreement.
Hibiki: Close call, Peyton.
Peyton: I guess so.
Andy’s Mom: There are no Jews here, but a disgusting man talking to Hitler.
*Peyton whispers to Hibiki*
Peyton: More like an idiot, we shouldn’t appease a dictator!
Hibiki: Hahaha, yeah. About her…
Peyton: No doubt in my mind, she’s a threat.
Narrator: A required tour was to go through women’s baseball. Nobody knew why, maybe it was the idea of a very vocal minority of women but, I forget what they’re called. Apparently, this doesn’t even have to do anything with it. They said they wanted to see women in everything.
Hibiki: On deck, Woman’s Baseball!
Middle Aged Man: Girls should be at home. Taking care of the family.
Hibiki: Who was gonna play some baseball then? Huh?
Hibiki: Women’s Baseball! They started batting up in 1943 and gave opportunities to 500 women to step up to home plate. However, women could not wear pants. Only skirts. White outfits are kinda hard to clean. This all stopped after games reached television.
Peyton: Again, at it with the baseball puns.
Hibiki: IT WAS ONLY TWO THIS TIME!!
Peyton: Ok, ok.
Andy: Where are we going next?
Peyton: Dunkirk.
Hibiki: Geez, that’s dangerous.
Peyton: We’ll keep stalling Stalingrad.
Hibiki: We won’t be able to do that for long.
Peyton: Welcome to Dunkirk. The date is June 4, 1940 after the finished rescue which started in May. This was called Operation Dynamo and helped just under 340,000 men reach safety.
*Andy’s Mom puts in the code for Stalingrad*
Hibiki: PEYTON! We’re heading to Stalingrad.
Narrator: Hibiki called out to Peyton with all his might, tears in his eyes.
Peyton: We haven’t lost yet.
*Peyton gives Hibiki a hug.*
Hibiki: Thanks. I needed that.
Hibiki: NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO LEAVE THE SHIP.
Narrator: Andy’s mom tossed Hibiki to the side of the ship and left. Hibiki and Peyton had to find Andy’s Mom before she caused any major change. However, it was too late.
Andy’s Mom: FIGHT SO THE JEWS DIE! THIS IS WHAT YOUR FIGHTING FOR AREN’T YOU!?
Narrator: She said this in German, but Peyton knew something wrong and pulled Andy’s Mom back by her collar. Peyton was not going to tolerate what she did to Hibiki. She motivated the soldiers to fight to the death similar to the Japanese which would result in a German victory.
Peyton: I got her. We’re gonna reset time. You all will remember the trip except for this part.
Girl: What about Kristallnacht?
Peyton: It happened on November 9, 1938 and saw 250 synagogues burned, several Jewish-owned stores trashed and looted, and saw 300,000 Jewish men arrested for their religion.
Girl: Are we going to visit?
Peyton: We can’t today.
Girl: Okay…
Peyton: Now I can pay attention to you.
Andy’s Mom: THOSE JEWS DESERVE TO BURN.
Hibiki: Shut up. I can’t focus on steering this thing with your nonsense.
Peyton: I’ll take this time to teach you a lesson. Stalingrad was one of the deadliest battles with 2 million left dead. Also, Russians kept building their forces and didn’t give up landing them a victory. This lasted from July 17, 1942 to February 2, 1943.
Andy’s Mom: And so?
Hibiki: You changed a turning point. Hadn’t we caught you in time, we’d all be living in a Nazi-ruled world. Nobody wants that.
Andy: What’s gonna happen to my mommy?
Peyton: I don’t know.
Hibiki: If found guilty she could face the death penalty.
Andy: D-d-death!?!?!?!?
Hibiki: Sadly, if worse comes to worst…
Peyton: Hibiki and I will take care of you!
Andy’s Mom: Fine.
Narrator: This may not be the end for Hibiki, Peyton, and Andy but, Andy’s mother was found guilty of trying to change a turning point of a major war, and sentenced to death. Andy was adopted by Hibiki and Peyton after having it be revealed most of Andy’s extended family was dead or could not afford to raise a child. This affected Andy in major ways. His mother’s trial story is meant for another day. But the rest of the people on this ship lived happily ever after.
