Diesel

**Diesel** is Cyd Ripley's pet dog who was given to her by Shelby Marcus. He lives in Shelby & Cyd's Bedroom and previously lived in the streets. This presumably means he was a stray who was either found in an animal shelter for lost dogs or Shelby brought him home after finding him in the street, most likely scavenging in the dumpster behind his favourite restaurant.

## Information

Diesel's first appearance is seen with brown hair and a dog collar around his neck. He is seen eating a pillow and barking in a dresser.

## Personality

Diesel chews and ruins a lot of things.

He is particularly known to destroy stuffed plushy toys, most likely because he views them as a threat to his territorial domination.

One year, he ended up accidentally wearing the clothing of one plushy he was attacking.

For a small dog, he's quite aggressive, that even a larger dog will retreat to avoid fighting Diesel.

He is Cyd's pet and Cyd loves him very much.

She is a television star whose show just ended called *Sing It Loud*. She returns home from filming her TV series in Hollywood to her family in Wisconsin.

His dimness is later revealed to be extended to the point where he cannot fully comprehend obvious facts, example being how when he and Bret investigated Cyd and Shelby’s secret and even though they found clues that directly stated the girls’ time-traveling abilities and even saw the girls time-travel themselves, Chet still remained extremely oblivious to the truth and decided with his brother to give up on solving the mystery.

She is cheerful and responsible, Riley cares very much about her family and friends. She works hard at school and always tries to do the right thing. Riley is bubbly, outgoing, optimistic, intelligent, and extremely loyal to her friends and family. Riley isn't afraid to tell people what she thinks, and will stand up for her friends. Sometimes, she encounters embarrassing moments, which are usually funny. Riley won't hesitate to stand up for her friends, and she, like most siblings, is fairly annoyed by her younger brother, Auggie, but she still loves him. A lot of Riley's personality is taken after her father, Cory. Shawn described her as "Cory, with Topanga's hair."

It's Not Ye, It's Me

**It's Not Ye, It's Me** is the tenth episode in Season 2 of Best Friends Whenever and the twenty-eighth overall. It aired on October 6, 2016 to 1.04 million viewers.

## Overview

When Daisy reveals that she’s engaged to Sebastian, a young man she’s never met, Cyd and Shelby decide to travel to the 16th century to help her break off the engagement. Meanwhile, Barry invents a game that never seems to end.

## Cast

### Main Cast

* Lauren Taylor as Shelby Marcus
* Landry Bender as Cyd Ripley
* Gus Kamp as Barry Eisenberg
* Ricky Garcia as Naldo Montoya
* Benjamin Royer as Bret Marcus
* Matthew Royer as Chet Marcus

### Guest Cast

* Barrett Carnahan as Sebastian
* Joe Ochman as Ulrich

## Trivia

* It's revealed Barry does really like Daisy.
* Daisy's jailer appears in full for the first time, and he's now being held hostage by Sebastian.
* Sebastian knows about Cyd and Shelby being time travellers since he heard that.
* Although they had already travelled to 1522 (as a cameo), this is the first episode actually set during that year.
* Daisy may be English, as the knights are shown bearing English lions and that the people are shown speaking the Queen's English.
* Barry's secret crush on Daisy and trying to spend time with her is similar to Josh with Maddie in the Liv and Maddie episode *Secret Admirer-A-Rooney.* Just like in that episode, Barry used his game as an excuse to spend time with Daisy, similar to how Josh wanted to play basketball as an excuse. Like Maddie, Daisy was rather confused and felt the games were a waste of her time and was confused as to what is going on.  Both Josh and Barry were doing poorly in their activities, but it didn't stop them from enjoying having their respective love interests around.

## Goofs

* Interesting to notice that Cyd and Shelby didn't get to the prison in 1522 when they hugged Daisy.
* The girls didn't leave tachyons when they jumped, at least it's what it looks like since we didn't see any incredulous reaction from Sebastian or anybody else then. Tachyons seem to randomly drop and are not guaranteed when jumping outside of a timeline.

* January 23, 2017 (Israel)
* April 19, 2017 (Latin America, Brazil)
Cyd & Shelby: Teenage Detectives

**Cyd & Shelby: Teenage Detectives** is a YA (Young Adult) novel written by Shelby Marcus. It's a fictional story where Shelby and Cyd were detectives. Bret & Chet thought this was Shelby's diary. They read it and became suspicious about this and followed Cyd & Shelby. Shelby put Cyd's name in the title first because it's alphabetical.

## Characters

* Shelby Marcus (character/author)
* Cyd Ripley (character)
Time Travel Laser

The **Time Travel Laser** is an invention created by Barry Eisenberg in 2015.

It can give the abilities to: time travel, teleport, possess, get invisible, wall pass.

## History

### A Time to Travel

Its purpose is to cure baldness by growing hair, which Naldo plans on using to grow chest hair. Barry and Naldo leave for a second. Cyd opens an ice chest to get food, but instead a beaker filled with Naldo's homemade hair gel comes out, she bumps into the laser and activates it, and then it gives them the power to time travel.

### A Time to Cheat

Barry and Naldo try to recreate time travel, but fail over 232 times. Bret and Chet came in and caused a disaster that messed up Barry's eyebrows.

### The Butterscotch Effect

In this episode, it has no real importance. Shelby just points at it in an alternate timeline.

### Shake Your Booty

Barry planned on shooting the laser at Cyd's and Shelby's tachyon signatures to create a wormhole to 1978. However, he fails to do so because the signatures faded away. They caught a small bit of the tachyon particles however.

### Cyd & Shelby's Haunted Escape

Barry uses the laser to teleport the girls to the New York City Spooktacular. Things didn't go as planned though, the laser turned them into "ghosts". They couldn't touch each other to time travel back to Portland. When they eventually figured out away to go back, (Possession of Lucas and Riley) they time travel to the moment that Barry said he invented teleportation. They attempt to smash the laser with hammers, but to no avail.

## Trivia

* It is interesting to note that, although at a low setting the laser can cause damage to a human, a higher setting appears to have no effect (unless it first reacts with the unknown material).
