Rowley and the time machine

82.Rowley Jefferson, an impressionable 11-year-old boy, was unlike other boys his age. Although a tad slow-witted and embarrassingly still in nappies, Rowley had an uncanny knack for stumbling into the most extraordinary situations. One such situation arose when he surprisingly won a contest, the stimulations of which granted him the use of the world's first-ever functional time machine.
Ah, the time machine! A marvel of modern science with the capacity to traverse time and space, forward, backward and into an infinite number of universes. Rowley, thrilled yet clueless about how to aptly utilize his prize, pondered hard on where his first trip should be. Following considerable deliberation, he chose a destination essential to his juvenile delights. He set the dials to 8 am that morning - to relive the unparalleled joy of his massive morning poo.
Returning from his shitty past with a delightful giggle, Rowley was questioned by the machine's man-in-charge about his experience. To which, Rowley simply beamed and chirruped, "I loved it!"
The sight that awaited Rowley on his second temporal journey threw him for a loop. He encountered his kind-of-friend Darwin. However, this version of Darwin was a stark contrast to the one Rowley knew; he was properly hydrated – a characteristic alien to his usual dehydrated state. Realizing the Darwin mix-up, a light bulb popped into Rowley’s mind for the first time in ages. A plan was formed - to bring his dehydrated Darwin back to his timeline and send the hydrated Darwin where he belonged.
On their momentous return to the time machine, Rowley and hydrated Darwin were bluntly informed by the owner about the payment due for each quantum leap. Nonplussed, Rowley handed over his ten-billion-pound pocket money, which upon inspection was readily accepted as the full price of the machine!
With the time machine now in their ownership, Rowley and well-hydrated Darwin journeyed into alternative dimensions, landing in a place where Rowley was startled to see his mirror image. Different universe, same Rowley confusion! Not remotely surprised by the doppelganger phenomena, Rowley swiftly maneuvered the Darwins, facilitating a heartfelt reunion of each with their respective Rowleys.
As the duo prepared to leave, alternative-Rowley offered a parting piece of wisdom that hit normal-Rowley like a ton of bricks, "Stay who you are, and always poo in your diapers!" His eyes welled up, and a singular tear rolled down his cheek as he nodded in understanding.
Reemerging from the fabric of space-time continuum, the pair - a thirsty Darwin and Rowley, found themselves back home in their universe. Although now owners of a time machine, they chose to dismantle it not because they were frightened by its overwhelming power, but rather out of a pressing need to fix Rowley's family washing machine.
With the sun setting on their adventure, Rowley and Darwin walked the road ahead, planning a future full of mistakes, learning, and of course, epic diaper sagas. With visions high on creativity, Rowley's story had indeed taken a wild, wacky turn in the wheels of the time machine.
