Plot

Trick Clock asks Colonel TickTock to when they're traveling today, to which TickTock says that day they're going to visit the confederates those associates plucked out of their there-and-thens to travel with him through time until they're changed and returned to when they belong, never to see each other again, except for that day. Only one day per millennium can the confederates see one another. TickTock and Trick Clock bicker about wordplay and timing.

TickTock first visits with Isadora Wrightsen. TickTock notes that Isadora has gotten older, though Isadora suggests that they reminisce together about their shared past and duty to Queen Victoria. Isadora then begins to speak in nonsense, causing Trick Clock to note that there's a chronoanomaly, though this one is personal. Isadora then reverts to the past, seeeking the lamb she was looking for when they first met, although this time instead of finding TickTock as what happened, she finds her lamb, causing them to have never met, and Isadora fades away. TickTock says Isadora has been erased from time, and shortly thereafter Trick Clock forget Isadora ever existed.

They then head, in their memories, to their first confederate meeting, with the American Becky Schmurt. Becky asks TickTock if he's there to reminisce, and he confirms, and thus they reminisce about of the adventure together. Betsy reminisce about the time that the Time Crunchers destroyed her home town, Tulsa, reducing the town to its base element. Becky is upset that TickTock never returned, as her father was turned into a baby and she has spent her life raising him. Becky then seems to get trapped betwixt milliseconds and fades away.

Trick Clock is able to identify the source of the chrono anomaly, but before he can reveal the answer, he and TickTock forget what has just happened, and once again head out to visit their "first" confederate, Bob McCrumbs.

Bob and TickTock reminisce about their shared past and the adventure they had together and their shared past. Bob, however, remembers Isadora and Becky, and realizes that something is wrong. He calls Stopwatch, his own chronodevice. He has Stopwatch put them in a timebubble, and then diagnose that someone with their own stopwatch, a crosstime beacon TickTock gifts to his confederates, hitched it like a caravan to the TrickTock. TickTock suspects it's his former teen confederate, Tetly Archibald Drake.

Tetley, now all grown up, is gathering all of TickTock's former confederates. He uses his stopwatch, gathering power from Trick Clock, to also gather Bob, disappearing him. Tetly says there are only 5 more confderates to go before Tetley is the "first" confederate in Tick Tock's memory, and he can have his childhood back. This time however, TickTock remembers. He has Trick Clock return Isadora, Becky and Bob from "Time Out".

Tetley says when TickTock found him, he was a young custard lad (like American pudding boys, but less informal) but he longed for more. When TickTock found him, they spent his youth together defeating chrono enemies, and Tetley says he never did any normal childhood things. Tetley has been spending his time attempting to work his way into Trick Clock to get his childhood back, and doesn't believe TickTock ever truly cared about him. Becky and Isadora remind TickTock how he often says that Chronopatrol agents don't have any true friends. TickTock showed them all the times of their lives, but then then left them to the linear after they'd gotten used to their exciting lives.

TickTock tells them that they all truly were his friends, despite the Queen decreeing he can have no friends, as much as his very English heart will allow him to. He loves Tetley third most of all, who apologizes for his actions.

Trick Clock regains control, and TickTock tells him to send Tetley home, back to a childhood without ever meeting TickTock. He forgets TickTock and all their adventures, recalling his life as now being a boring Pudding Man.

Isadora, Bob and Beckey asks if he loves them truly, and he affirms that he does, each in his own way. Bob asks if he can stay just a little longer, and he says he can with Bob, but sends Isadora and Becky off, without fixing Becky's father. Bob and TickTock head off to have some fish and chips.
