Not Easily Conquered

Chapter 13
After a few months apart, except for Underwood and Anya who spent several blissful months touring our world (sending video to the other worlds as they went), our heroes reunited where the first came into this world, March 18th, 2018.

"We still have those other worlds to explore," said Beth.

"We can't explore all of them by ourselves, can we?" asked Laurie.

"Not unless we split up," answered Underwood. "We just have to choose who and to what world we will get."

Interlude 7
Some Vitavision shows:

Timescape (1990-1996)
Time travel show starring Dean Beckett as Dr. Harold Warren, a scientist who prematurely goes back into the past to prove his theories of time travel. Now he finds himself trapped in the past, trying not to change history and find a way home.

Wally! (1950-1953)
A sitcom very much in the vain of other shows of it's type from the period. It starred Joe Prescott as Wally Davidson, a middle class boy living in middle America in the early 1950s. It is noted for its rather abrupt ending when Prescott died in a car crash shortly after the final episode aired. Prescott was 18.

Matilda Mysteries (2010-)
Starring Sylvia Inouye as Matilda Yamamoto, this mystery series, set in the 1960s, has been a smash hit. Though there were some doubts about plausibility, the numbers speak for themselves.

Chapter 14
And so the worlds were divided: Underwood and Anya would go to a world where Theodore Roosevelt won as a Republican in 1912 and a world where the Japanese were caught on their way to Pearl Harbor. Laurie, Eric and Rose will go to a world where France crossed into Belgium in 1914 and one where Leonard Wood won the 1920 election. They would meet up in the world where George McClellan broke his neck and died during the Peninsula Campaign.

"Will we be able to keep in contact?" Laurie asked.

"We'll work on it," said Beth. "Just send any materials to us."

"OK," said Underwood. "Let's go."

FIN.
