20 jackson handed the device to her nervously, worried she might damage their only possible way of returning to their own time. 21 \wow!\ she said, turning the machine over repeatedly in her hands. \this machine is so antiquated, im surprised it worked at all.\ 22 \i would have preferred if it hadnt worked at all,\ said larissa, rolling her eyes at jackson. 23 ignoring larissa, jackson turned to silla anxiously: \can you help us get back to our own time?\ 24 \i believe so,\ replied silla, handing jackson a sleek, shiny black box that hummed pleasantly as she powered it up. \these days everybody has their own time machine, so you can borrow mine. its the latest model, and its very reliable. it uses all the most advanced techniques invented by the father of time travel himself. let me just set it for 2096, followed by an automatic return to 2219, then i will hit the green button. have a safe journey!\ 25 as soon as silla punched the green button, lights twinkled and flashed all around jackson and larissa, and soon they found themselves standing in front of their house. sillas time machine disappeared with a small chirp and a pop, but not before they had time to read the name written on the side of the machine: the jacksonator 3000. 26 larissa and jackson looked at each other in disbelief. \is it my imagination, or does that mean i am the father of time travel?\ 27 even larissa had to admit it was true. \i guess you accidentally invented something fantastic. it may be the most amazing science project of all time, little brother. i cant wait to see what you invent next!\ 4 how does larissa change by the end of the \the worst science project of 2096\?

Explanation:

Al principio, Larissa es crítica y desdichada con la máquina de tiempo de Jackson ("This machine is so antiquated...", "I would have preferred if it hadn't worked at all..."). Pero al final, admite que Jackson inventó algo fantástico ("Even Larissa had to admit it was true. 'I guess you accidentally invented something fantastic...'").

Answer:

Al principio, Larissa es desdichada y crítica con la máquina de tiempo de Jackson. Al final, admite que Jackson inventó algo fantástico y muestra entusiasmo por ver qué inventará a continuación.
