Fred-gate Scandal

It was a hard time for the Reagan administration. Plagued by scandal, they needed to find a scape goat, and fast. Drug abuse had been beaten to death already, Vietnam was winding down, all the main public outrage was aimed solely at Ronald Reagan, and he was doomed.

Meanfuture, Fred was planning his next time traveling vacation. He wanted a short trip, just 50 years or so, and a time when those politicians he so hated were writhing. He settled on the time of the Watergate scandal. He started his counter-rotation running around the earth, and soon arrived in the 60s.

Fred has errored in his running, and went crashing through the White House. He knocked over the front pillar, causing major damage to the outer façade. Behind him, a vortex formed, spewing technology and people from 2003 into the past. Fred pushed most of them back through, but Bob Dole and Hilary Clinton were already talking to the press, and he couldn't just make them vanish before everyone's eyes. Bob Dole was talking bout how Viagra had helped him is his dysfunction, Hilary was whining about the state of her marriage after Bill's affair. Fred went into a panic, as he had no way to pull them back to 2003 with him.

President Reagan decided to salvage the last bit of his dignity and resign from office, and was going to inform his staff, when he saw the damage done to the White House, which had also created these two people, who dressed like they were from the future or something. Both were working the political reporters, and he quickly decided to pin the blame on them. Calling his speech writer, he asked for a vicious attack against these communist terrorist fools.

Fred was now in a real pinch. Hilary Clinton had sold 50,000 copies of her book, along with past publishing rights to it, and Bob Dole was unloading Viagra left and right. The future would surely be changed now, unless he could erase the damage they had caused, without detection. That would be hard, as both of them were in prison, on charges of attacking a government property. He had talked to the warden, and he claimed he had lost his keys. Fred thought the excuse seemed far fetched, but he would have a new key by the end of the week. By that point, he wold be unable to stop the damage. He also couldn't return to when he made the time jump, as the presence of multiple Freds in the same location would cause strange happenings. His only hope was a quick, swift jailbreak, and to destroy all of the items they brought with them.

Ronald Reagan's speech writer, Nate Berkly, was hard at work. He was a temp worker, the real writer had skipped the country, and was guessed to be in Europe somewhere. "I like Punk Rock," he had managed to write thus far. "I'm listening to it right now. About those freaks who blew up the White House, well, they don't listen to it. They should." Nate, pleased with himself for making such an awesome speech, put it into the inter-office mail to be given to Reagan as soon as possible.

Fred decided to travel back in time, steal the warden's keys, and hide them behind the sign in front of the Jail. Reaching over to pick them up, he snuck into the building. While in the future, he had set a tape recorder to go off at this moment, to distract the on duty guards. "Hey, Whitey!" the machine yelled, "Why don't you show some kindness to a brother and let me out early?"

The Warden, sighing heavily, got up to investigate the noises. The tape continued, and Fred snuck in. In the background, he heard the tape, "And now, opening for Van Halen, Wild Stalyens!" Fred opened the cell doors and pulled Bob Dole and Hilary Clinton along with him. Running at top speed, he smashed through the wall of the prison and started the time travel cycle to bring his guests back to the modern era. After dropping them off at their homes, Fred returned to his home to see how badly time was damaged from his error.

Reagan had gained the sympathy of the public, as a little break in job was insignificant compared to an attack on our nation. However, he blew his chance when he gave a terrible speech related to musical, the musical tastes of the attackers, and generally how much Jimmy Eat World was awesome, and you should listen to it. Minor changes to the world included a change in US population of 50,000 people, and a sudden trend of writing books about how much your husband cheated on you, but you didn't mind, cause he was the most important thing in your life.
