Fools playing with spacetime

Stella shrugged, and tunred back to Tara "Tara...I'm so sorry...I..cant believe after all the work we put into this mission...it ended up being our fault..."
Tara still woozy, said nothing, "I never had a chance to meet you" Stella said "But Mom, Dad and Amber and Ruf speak highly of you"
Tara smiled,
<END SNIP>
 
Dean was smiling, everyone was smiling. Even Keto was, well, grimacing.
<SNICK>
"Oh man, that is embarrasing" said Dean,
"That's you?" said Keto
"You here too?" asked Dean
"Apparently so. How old are you here?"
"4."
"That explains it then."
"Yup." said Dean
<SNICK>
"And you said MY childhood was wrong." said Dean, looking at Keto, and the younger Keto.
"Shut it." said Keto,
<SNICK>
"Io, the academy. This is me getting my pilot's license."
"And the prize for best student goes to Dean Thomas!"
"Best student? What was the rest of your year like?"
<SNICK>
"Don't ask."
"Don't ask what?" asked Stella.
"Oh, we're back in the present."
"Where'd you go?" asked Tara
"We went..."<SNICK>
"Back in time."
"This is the future."
"Yup." said Dean, "Jay's being someone's best man."
"It's you you twonk!"
"Cool. Who's the bride?" asked Dean
<SNICK>
"Too late."
"Where are we now?"
"Medibay. There's Tara and me, we're doing midwifery."
"Where's Nurse Starbolt?" asked Dean
"On the bed."
"Ah, but it is your future or mine?" Dean inquired<SNICK>
"We'll never know." said Keto, "This is the corridor outside Cerebrum's office."
"You been here often?"
"It was mine for a while." said Keto.
"There's Jay with a gun, and Phil, with me at the head. Kickass."
"You're fighting a different species of weird alien type thing. Thing's never change round here."
"There's Cerebrum. Wait, what?" asked Dean.
"He should put his head back inside." said Keto, "With all these weapons it might get blown..."
"Too late."
"You kill Cerebrum."
"It WAS an accident."
"I'm on your side here." said Keto, "unfortunately it looks a long way into the future."
"Why?"
"You've got a wedding ring and Jay's got a paunch."
"Heh." said Dean, "I'm gonna love telling him that one."
<SNICK>
"Now where?"
"Would you two cut that out!" said Jasmine, who had been standing in the corner. "It's dangerous if you disappear and reappear in the entrance to the medibay."
"Sorry Jas." said Dean, as he and Keto moved out the way.
"What IS going on?" asked Tara.
"Some fools been playing with the fabric of space-time again."
