I received a text from my friend Ned: "Get a costume quick, I can get us into a great 1900's party at 1 pm. Meet me at that street corner I talked about." Ned was always a bit excentric but trustworthy so I spent the morning seeking out costume shops for what seemed to fit the 1900s for me. I arrived at the street corner just before 1 pm, Dave my other friend was already there in costume. "Weren't knee pants at that time only worn by small boys?" I asked him.
"I'm young." he said.
"No your not, not anymore. Not for a long time." I replied.
"Well your glasses don't look 1900's at all." he retorted.
"Great your both here." interrupted Ned.
"Why are we meeting here, couldn't you just give us the address?" I asked him.
"It has to be here I have mapped the ley lines!" Ned had always been into witchcraft.
"How will ley lines help us get to the party, and what are you wearing?" I asked him.
"It's my magic apron."
"Looks like a skirt, did you steal it from the Masons?" said Dave.
"I will use it to take us to the year 1909!" said Ned.
"Hope it's not one way, I wouldn't want to get drafted into WW1!" said I.
"That won't be a problem." assured Ned. "You're in just the right spots, now just stand still." Ned proceeded to chant some strange words. There was a flash of bright light.
"Wow I thought you were joking, this really does look like 1909!" Exclaimed Dave in a high excited voice. Around us were lots of pedestrians in costume and cyclists, even a horse and cart on the road, all the tarmac and road markings were gone. I stumbled for half a minute gazing at the sights until I noticed that my clothes seemed a lot looser fitting, and soft hair was tickling my neck.
"Whoa, dude what has happened to us." I squeaked. Ned and Dave were both tying up their hair with handkerchiefs.
"Just a side effect of the spell." Said Ned.
I noticed lots of people were glaring at us. "I don't think we are doing a good job of blending in at all, even Ned's skirt is scandalously short." I said.
"And your headphones are showing." added Dave.
"Don't worry I have planned for this." assured Ned, "1900's pound notes are easy to print, we just need to go shopping, tell people you had an accident with your luggage."
"So we don't have the vote, but we have money." said Dave.
"OK, I am curious enough to look around for a while, but please tell me we have a way to get back to our own time?" I said.
"Don't worry you will get back to your time just fine," said Ned "this spell will keep us young for well over a hundred years."
