(Narrator's POV)

It all started as a normal day. The Newmans were about to start practicing in the garage when Kim suddenly cleared her throat loudly. Everyone looked in her direction.

"Newmans," She said, walking over to something big with a blanket over it. "before we start practic,e there's something I'd like to show you guys!" She stated excitedly. The others looked at her in confusion and curiosity. She smiled and grabbed the edge of the blanket. "Behold," She said in a proud voice. "the Ani-Mator 2000!" As she said the name, she dramatically uncovered a strange machine with a whoosh of the blanket. Konnie squealed excitedly.

"The Ani-Whatnow?" Carrie asked, confused. Kim pat the machine.

"The Ani-Mator 2000." She repeated. "If you step inside, and name an animal, this machine will make it appear!" She said, trying to state it's purpose as simply as possible. Carrie raised an eyebrow in skepticism.

"And how, exactly, does it do that?" She said, crossing her arms. Kim walked over to her

"Psht, it'd take me forever to explain to you and your simple, non-scientific minds." She said, patting Carrie on the head, who rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Well, since you're so skeptical, why don't you try it for yourself?" Kim asked, motioning towards the machine. Carrie scoffed.

"Well, I wanna try!" Everyone suddenly turned their heads to Larry. His expression then became nervous as everyone's eyes were on him. "Well, it's just...I've always wanted a pet, but my mom won't let me get one. Apparently, tigers are considered 'too dangerous.'" Larry said, using his fingers to make air quotes. After a few awkward seconds, Kim clapped her hands together.

"Well then, Larry! Step right into the machine, and say what kind of animal you want. Just...no tigers, or anything else of that sort. Try something more...domestic." She said. Larry looked disappointed, but nodded as he walked over to the machine. Carrie then huffed.

"I want to try it too. If it does somehow work, I wanna get a friend for Dr. Purrs."

"Okay then, Carrie. Just step right on in with Larry, and on my count, say what kind of animal you want." Carrie nodded as she went in next to Larry, who blushed at the closeness. Kim walked over to the side of the machine, and stood next to a lever. She then held up her hand, signaling a countdown from 5. One by one, she put a finger down until she got to the last one. When that one went down, Carrie and Larry said their animal at the same time.

"Cat!" Kim then pulled the lever, and the machine started to hum and whir. But there was suddenly a crackling sound, and Kim's eyes widened. The machine soon became engulfed in smoke, and Kim could no longer see Carrie or Larry through it. She waited a couple minutes as the noises from the machine died down, and the smoke began to clear. She waved the last of the smoke away, and squinted. She then gasped in shock. Konnie came up behind her.

"Sis, what's wrong?" She asked. Kim was having a hard time finding the right words to say, so she just said it blatantly.

"Carrie and Larry. Th-they're gone!" She said, pointing at the empty spot that had been previously occupied by two 13 year olds. Kim looked at her sister worried expression.

"You killed them..." Konnie said subtly. Kim coughed nervously.

"Uh...I-I didn't kill them! Its just...something went a little wrong, is all. We'll, uh...we'll figure it out tomorrow! Let's just get home for now..." Kim suggested.

Hmm...what happened to Carrie and Larry?
