A futuristic city in 2145, transitioning back to their time.
EXT. CITY STREET - 2145 - DAY
Lila, Max, and Lila’s MOM sprint through the chaotic streets as sirens blare in the distance. The aftermath of the flash is creating confusion.
Max
(panting)
We need to reach the time travel facility before they lock it down!
LiLa
(nodding)
Just a little further. If we can get back, we can make sure the accident never happens.
They duck into a narrow alley, catching their breath.
INT. TIME TRAVEL FACILITY - CONTROL ROOM - DAY
They burst into the control room, where alarms blare. Lila rushes to the console, fingers flying over the controls
LiLa
We need to initiate the return sequence
Lila's Mother
What if the device’s malfunction altered the timeline? We might not return to the same 2145.
Max
It’s a risk we have to take! We can’t leave things as they are.
LiLa
Then let’s go!
She presses a series of buttons, and the portal begins to shimmer.
EXT. TIME TRAVEL FACILITY - DAY - MOMENTS LATER
They step into the portal, light enveloping them. The sensation is disorienting as the world warps around them.
INT. TIME TRAVEL FACILITY - CONTROL ROOM - 2145 - DAY
They reappear in the control room, the atmosphere tense. The alarms have stopped, and the monitors show a stable timeline.
LiLa
We made it!
Lila’s MOM approaches a monitor, squinting at the data.
Lila's Mother
We need to check if the timeline has stabilized.
(frowning)
Max
What if we changed something important?
Lila’s mom navigates the controls, scanning the data. After a moment, her expression shifts from concern to relief.
Lila's Mother
It looks like we succeeded. The accident was averted.
LiLa
Hopeful,
Then we can finally get back to our lives.
EXT. CITY STREET - 2145 - DAY - LATER
They step outside the facility, taking in the familiar sights of the bustling city. It’s vibrant and alive, and everything feels right.
LiLa
I can’t believe it worked
Suddenly, a DISTANT EXPLOSION echoes, shaking the ground. They look toward the source, panic rising.
