Timeline

This is a timeline for all the events and happenings in Best Friends Whenever.

By the power of time travelling, Cyd and Shelby can go back and forward in time, both in or out of their timeline. When they travel in their lifetime, they get into their bodies of that time, while when they get out of their lifetime, they stay with the same bodies that had before the jump.

The girls have been going also out of their timeline since the episode "Shake Your Booty", and when they do, they leave behind tachyon particles appear in the form of their bodies.
