Any Road Will Take You There: Chapter 2
It’s my fault
These words kept playing over and over in Sugar’s head. Rory was silent. He just kept staring out the window. Harmony was rubbing his back trying to comfort him. She looked over at Sugar with a worried look on her face. Finally Rory spoke.
“We have to tell your Moms, they can tell Sebastian to fix this!”
“No way! I lent him the keys to the time machine; I’ll be in huge trouble. My mother will beat me with a chair..” It didn’t take much thinking to know which one of her mothers she was referring to. Rory wasn’t convinced.
“I’m sorry Sugs but I have to tell your mother!”
“Tell me what?” Mama Santana walked into the room with Mama Brittany on her arm and her left eyebrow raised, looking down at the plotting group of youngsters. Rory gave the girls an apologetic look.
“Mame, I don’t know how to tell you this but Sebastian..”
“I told Sebastian the code to the time machine..”
“Sugar! Cuando vas a aprender? I figured that, I haven’t heard from him in a week! You better hope he gets back soon and it’s undamaged, along with whatever time he’s in!”
“Are you sure that’s all Rory?” Mama Brittany said with a concerned tone and put her hand on his shoulder.
Rory face turned bright red.
“Yes M-Mame!”
Rory has always found Sugar’s mother very attractive.
They both left the room, Mama Santana mumbling something under her breath in Spanish. Rory glared over at Sugar.
“I CAN FIX THIS! I PROMISE!”
“How Sugar?” Rory said hoping she had a plan.
“I have no clue. In fact I probably can’t..” Rory looked annoyed
“Sorry aspergers!”
Harmony rolled her eyes and dialed a number on her phone.
“Who are you..” Harmony shushed Sugar before she could finish. She put the phone on speaker.
“Hello?”
“Uncle Finn? It’s Harmony!”
“Hi baby girl, how are ya?”
Harmony was very close with her uncle. After all he is the reason she’s here right now. After Rachel and Quinn got married, they wanted nothing more then to have a baby. So naturally they went with a man they both knew very well to help them out and nine months later, out popped Harmony. So when she couldn’t go to her mothers, she always felt comfortable talking with her Uncle Finn. She could always trust him.
“I’m sorry for calling so late but I need to borrow something of yours.”
“Oh? And what would that be?” he chuckled to himself.
“I need to borrow your time machine”
“I don’t see why not!” Harmony was a little surprised how easy that was. Then again, Uncle Finn was always a little oblivious.
“Great, I’ll be over soon!”
She hung up the phone and a big smile appeared on Harmony’s face.
“What’s your plan?” Rory asked looking for some gleam of hope for his dads.
“If Sebastian isn’t coming back any time soon, we’ll just have to go and find him!”
Rory and Sugar looked uneasy.
“I don’t think that such a good ide-“
“Do you want to help your dads or not?” Harmony said cutting him off. Sugar and Rory looked at each other very unsure.
Neither of them had ever used a time machine before but they trusted Harmony. She had never let them down. Harmony succeeded at almost everything she did but when you have mothers like she did, it was hard not to be. Rory thought about his dads again, knowing he needed to save them gave him a jolt of courage.
“Let’s do it!”
“Whoa guys! We need a plan!” Sugar was surprised that she was the voice of reason.
“Won’t they notice us if we’re gone?”
“I’ll leave a note were staying with Uncle Finn, he’ll cover for us! Our parents trust him and Rory’s dads won’t even..” Harmony caught herself.
Rory was staring out the window.
“Rory, everything is gonna be fine.” said Suagr
“We don’t even know where or when he is?”
“I got that covered!” Sugar said already heading towards the garage.
“Mama makes us log in where we go before we leave, just in case something goes wrong!” Sugar clicked on the time machine log but got a big red exclamation mark on the screen.
“Crap! He put a password on his last log!”
“Oh Boy, this could take a while.” Rory said and went to sit on the garage stairs. Sugar could tell he was losing hope. She put in a bunch of Sebastian’s usual passwords but nothing worked.
“Ugh! This shouldn’t be that hard!” Harmony pushed her out the way and tried a few passwords herself. Sugar went over to sit next to Rory and wrapped her arms around him. She got her understanding and compassion for others from Brittany.
“I’m so scared Sugar, scared that I’ll never talk to them again.”
“We’re gonna save them!”
“You didn’t see them drop to the ground, watching the light leave their eyes was one of the most horrible things I have ever seen in my life, they’re all I have.”
This was true. Rory was adopted by Blaine and Kurt when he was two. The two lovers traveled to Ireland for their honey moon, much to Kurt’s chagrin but they never thought the sovereign they’d be bringing home would be a baby boy. Blaine had family in Ireland, his great grandmother ran an adoption agency there. A couple days out of the two weeks they were staying there, he helped out with the children. Blaine loved working with children and while he was there he bonded with every single one of them. Rory was different though. Rory’s parents were both alcoholics, so Rory was taken from them a few months after he born. Blaine had no idea he would fall in love with this lovely blue-eyed little boy. Kurt was convinced too, he could see the look in Blaine’s eyes when he hugged Rory goodbye everyday! He knew what he had to do. The last day of their trip Kurt bought three tickets home. Blaine, thinking this was a mistake, went to go refund a ticket but Kurt told him they were bringing someone extra home with them. Blaine’s eyes lit up and they both started crying tears of joy. From that day on Blaine and Kurt were Rory’s whole world, his family. He couldn’t just let them slip away.
“THIS IS HOPELESS!” Harmony screamed as she attempted her hundredth password.
“Well since the whole world revolves around you Harmony, why don’t you try your name?” Rory chuckled to himself.
Sugar laughed and typed in H-A-R-M-O-N-Y. The screen lit up.
- PASSWORD ACCEPTED -
Sugar and Rory stared in disbelief, while Harmony’s cheeks turned bright red. Sugar started to giggle.
“He did always like you Har-“
“Shut up! Just find out the date and let’s go!”
Sugar winked at her and looked through the log to where Sebastian went. She scrolled to today’s logs.
- November 08, 2011 -
“2011? That’s when our parents were in high school!” Sugar said with worry in his voice.
“We need to get there quick!” Harmony said rushing out the garage door. Sugar grabbed a pen and wrote down the date.
“Let’s go!”
The trio grabbed their things and hurried out the door. Luckily, Rory had recently got his license. They piled in the little green station wagon and headed to Uncle Finn’s house. There was a silence among the group on the way there. Harmony was filing her nails and Sugar was rocking back and forth, singing to herself. Rory, however, was just staring straight at the road with a blank expression. Sugar had never seen Rory so down. She missed seeing that big goofy smile on his face.
An hour later they arrived at the house of Finn Hudson. Harmony knocked on the door trying to be quiet because of how late it was. The door swung open and a Finn stood there with a big smile on his face.
“Hey there beautiful!”
“UNCLE FINN!” Harmony squealed and ran to hug her uncle. He hugged her back and put his finger in front of his mouth, pointing to the master bedroom.
“Oh sorry.” Finn signaled them to come inside and led them to the garage. They all piled in the room and Finn shut the door behind them.
“Sorry, didn’t want to wake the wife.” He walked over to a large object covered by a tarp.
“Rory come help me with this.”
“Sure Uncle Finn!” Rory smiled and walked over to help him pull of the large green tarp. Of course, Finn was Rory’s actual uncle.
They pulled of the tarp revealing a large shiny machine. The kids stared in awe.
“You kids know how to use this right?”
“Well-“
“Of course we do!” Harmony said cutting Rory off.
“We don’t have to tell your moms about this! We’ll just keep this between us! Plus, I owe you for singing at my wedding!” Finn said winking at Harmony.
“Actually there’s one more thing..” Harmony said giving her uncle the puppy eyes.
“Anything!” Finn smiled.
“We’re planning a surprise for our parents, so if they ask where we are, could you cover for us?” Rory and Sugar were shocked Harmony actually lied to him.
Finn looked a little unsure but he trusted his niece.
”..Sure darling, just be careful.”
Harmony was so relieved and gave her uncle a huge hug.
“Good luck guys.”
“Thanks Uncle Finn!” Harmony and Rory said in unison.
Sugar grinned with excitement and threw her things in the time machine but as soon as she saw all the buttons and levers, she started to get nervous.
“How are we ever going to work this thing?”
Sugar turned to Harmony who was lost in her own thoughts. She clearly felt horrible about lying to her uncle.
“I’m sure when we save Rory’s dads, he won’t mind the little lie we told.”
Harmony shook her head in agreement and got a determined look in her eye.
“Stand back! I got this!” said Harmony as she put the keys in. The machine lit up and Harmony was pushing the buttons like she had done this a million times. Then she punched in the date.
11-08-11
She turned to her friends and winked.
“Ready to go?”
Rory and Sugar looked at each other very worried.
“Yes! Let’s go!” Rory said determined to save his dads.
Harmony smiled and pushed a lever forward and back in time they went. They didn’t have a plan or any clue what was going to happen. All they knew was that Sebastian was there, somewhere, and they needed to stop him from tearing Rory’s world apart.
