Stephan had spent the better part of the week putting on the last touches to his cold steam triple injection wontum chronological ocular viewer. Early that morning his older sister, Tavia, had reminded him of his marital obligation to join their family with Lord Tabberbrook's in one weeks time, and his need to organize the wedding. Some day in the future he would be required to marry off his raven haired sister to some rich notable family; but was willing to wait until she found the lover she so desired instead of a horrible arranged marriage like himself. If only he could post-pone this marriage! Knowing very little about the Lady Tabberbrook, except for her predilection for the outdoors and romantic stories did not sit well with him. First and foremost was the fact that Steam Science did not happed in the field but in a laboratory. If only what he had witnessed in the Ocular Viewer earlier that morning could be true. Tapping into an alternate reality, he spent a few moments baring witness to some other realm's Lady Tabberbrook in a romantic embrace with the feminine form of himself, wearing matching wedding bands. 'If only it were possible for my sister to take my place.' But quickly discarded the idea, as society would frown on such a thing, and the Tabberbrook name would forever be destroyed. His own family name would with stand such a scandal if the device he worked on truly worked. Hearing a knock at his Livingroom / Study / Laboratory entryway Stephan looked up for but a moment; inside his heart immediately burst with joy. Tavia and the young Lady Tabberbrook, eighteen hardly being young, but they stood there with an arm wrapped around the other's waist; hair dis-shelved, clothing out of place and heavily wrinkled, and most off all both had the distinct appearance of having come from a boiler room; both were covered in sweat. Tavia spoke up first, "Stephan I have something important to say." Not even bothering to look up again, "I give you my blessing." Both ladies ran to him with out stretched arms. "Thank you so much!" Both kissed and hugged him with thanks. Referring to his sister and soon to be sister-in-law, "Be gone my sisters, I have work to return to." His only joy was the fact the Cold Steam Triple Injection Wontum Chronological Ocular Viewer, hadn't shown another realm, but in fact the future. It worked! The viewer flashed an image of his 'sisters' posing for a painting. IT WORKED!!
