Ok, before you read this, I think I need to set this up a little. This takes place during the fic, 'Rebound.' The timing happens after egg arc finished, and then this happen. When this fic is finished, you can go back to Rebound and finish the story there.


"How's Tori and Lola Olsen doing this fine Monday afternoon?" A voice asked as the two girls in question looked behind them upon the hill.

"Robbie…" Tori groaned as she watched her boyfriend sit beside her. Taking in the loving site of her boyfriend. The warm sun reflecting upon his features. He wrapped an arm around her and pressed her to his side. Giving her a warm kiss on her lips for a moment and snuggled closely to her.

"We aren't twins." Lola told him. Slightly annoyed by the still fact that she and Tori were almost identical. To the point that it was something so strange and yet, so intriguing at the same time. "We may look alike…"

Robbie smirked. He pulled from Tori and looked at one of their new friends. He replied, matter-of-factly, "Or laugh alike, or walk alike, or even talk alike."

Tori glared at him, "Don't say the next line, Robbie."

Robbie leaned in and kissed her briefly. Pulling back, he added, "I will never say the next line, Baby."

"Next line?" Lola asked, confused.

"Robbie here was quoting an old tv show." Tori explained.

She gave Robbie a strange look, "Full House?"

"The Patty Duke Show." Tori told him. Lola looked confused. "Robbie enjoys the classics."

Robbie gave Tori a look. "You do too. How many times do you watch 'I Love Lucy.'?"

"Lucille Ball is a comic genius." Lola told him.

"I'm not saying she's not." Robbie told her. "I'm just saying I'm not the only one who enjoys the classic sitcom."

Tori grinned, "I know, Baby." She leaned in and kissed him. "I always love our TVLand marathon nights."

"Nothing wrong with TVLand." Robbie told her. He shrugged, "I look forward to any time with you, my arms wrapped around you, both in bed, watching TV. It's one of my favorite things to do."

Lola looked at the way the two of them were being entwined, the way they held onto each other, the way they laughed, smiled, kissed. It was obvious that they were in it for the long haul, and the fact that they were only sixteen was amazing. She couldn't help but let out a sigh, watching the way they were acting. "You really are cute together."

Robbie smirked, and looked at Tori. "Lola thinks we're cute."

"I think you're cute, Baby." She leaned in and kissed Robbie once more. When she pulled back, she noticed Lola had a sad look on her face. Tori gave her a smile, "Vince is cute too." Robbie gave her a hurt look. "You are way cuter, Robbie." He smiled at her comment. "I'm just saying that Vince and Lola do look cute together."

She couldn't help but let out a sigh. "I just wish…"

"Wish what?" Tori asked, taking her comment in effect.

Lola snapped her head around, her eyes widening. Unaware of what she just brought up. She gave a forced smile. "I just wish that Vince was here. That's all."

"Uh huh…" Tori said, nodding. Knowing that obviously something was up between her and Vince. And if anything, this whole egg experience taught her that Vince wasn't the most dependable either. And Tori knew the last thing Lola needed right now was a confrontation about it. Especially one that happened in the middle of the day. Noticing the despaired look in her eyes, Tori added, "Why don't you join Robbie and I for lunch? Get some sushi, maybe even go back to the dorm and watch some TVLand?"

Robbie smiled liking the idea. "We could even make a day of it. My classes are done. I know Tori's are, and if you're free…"

Lola looked at the young couple. And while the idea did sound tempting, she did have a class later. "Rain check? I got US History in a couple hours."

Tori looked at Robbie for a moment, he nodded, and then Tori looked at Lola. "We can do it after. The tv watching I mean. Lunch though is still on the table."

Lola grinned, "Lunch is fine." The two of them started to get to their feet "But I just got to drop this off at the dorm." She then produced a small box. "For Quinn. I dunno what it is. But when Quinn is involved, sometimes I just don't want to know."

"No argument there." Tori told her, remembering just how it went for her and Robbie just before she went into hypnosis a week ago.

"To the dorms!" Robbie Shapiro announced with a wide grin. The girls groaned, and followed their male friend in pursuit of Lola's dorm.

The three of them began their short trek back to Brenner Hall. As the three of them walked, they could feel the warm climate wash over them, allowing the sun to shine its bright rays upon the path of the Malibu campus. The wind was gentle and the blades of grass shifted with each of the foot.

They continued to walk, talking idly as they traveled, explaining the contents of their day to be explored further. Nonsense stories and humor being exchanged, laughs filling the air, moments of happiness and easy conversation among them; simply enjoying the company that each of them could contribute.

It wasn't for another few minutes until they reached the dorm, and climbed up the steps to the flight. Each step getting closer and closer to room number 101. In fact, it was another few moments until Lola reached out and placed a hand on her doorknob.

As she opened the door, she already saw what she half expected. Quinn Penskey was working on an invention, just as she thought/ But not to the level of what was being built.

"Quinn!"

When she didn't reply, Lola continued, "What the hell are you inventing now?"

All three of them looked as Quinn seemed to be putting together a large ring. Almost to the point where it was easy for anyone to walk through. Almost as if it was something out of an old science fiction show.

"We don't know." A voice called from the bed. All three of them looked as two friends sat on the bed. "Quinn's been working on this thing for an hour."

"A few hours." Zoey Brooks clarified. "Chase and I were just working on a homework assignment."

Robbie on the other hand looked at the ring in question, and was amazed to see some components that actually reminded him of parts that he had come across through 'Popular Mechanics.' Not to mention that there was a suitcase made out of metallic siding. "Where did you get Plutonium?"

When she heard the word 'plutonium' she snapped out of what she was doing. She took the goggles off of her eyes, looking at her friends for the first time. "Wow. When did you get here?"

"Chase and I've been here for a couple hours, Quinn." Zoey addressed. "Tori, Robbie, and Lola just got here."

Quinn noticed the box in Lola's hands and grinned. "Great. It's here." She made her way to her friend and grabbed the box. Taking a knife that was resting on her desk, she ripped into the box and found what she was looking for. "I finally got it!"

"Got what?" Tori asked, confused.

"A Flux Pulse Battery." She told them.

"A what?" Chase asked.

Quinn rolled her eyes. "A Flux Pulse Battery. I need it to make this work." She then took the clear crystal tube and placed it into the machine that she was working on. "And now it's done!"

"What's done?" Zoey asked.

"I just created a window. With this, I can turn this on, and we would be able to see other parallel worlds." She explained.

"Wait." Robbie said. "Are you telling me? You built a 'Stargate'?"

Quinn smiled at the name. "Not exactly. I can't go to other planets, but I can see other worlds."

"Other worlds?" Lola asked.

"Just watch." Quinn told her, disgusted. They all watched as Quinn pressed a button on the ring that she was building. Soon a series of flashes appeared within the ring, and began to show numerous locations as well. "What we are seeing are different realities. Different worlds."

"Woah! There's Wrigley Field!" Chase announced as they saw a picture of the baseball stadium occurred.

"The Mall of America!" Lola yelled out.

"Epcot Center!" Robbie pointed out.

Another series of images flashed forward until it suddenly stopped at one certain room. They're eyes widened when they looked through the ring and spotted themselves, looking at each other… only one thing was different though. Each of the person within the ring was a duplicate of what was happening within the girls' dorm room.

"What the hell?" Tori and the other girl asked as they looked at one another.

"Are we looking at us...in another reality?" Both Chases' asked at the same time as well.

"Yes, we are." Robbie and Robbie both answered. But there was one thing that was different, and Tori was looking at the only other person in the 'other dorm.'

"What are you doing here?" They both asked. Their eyes glared at one another.

Both Robbie's watched as their girlfriends approached the ring.

"Vega!" The one girl yelled out.

"Jade!" Tori growled.

"What's going on?" Each Zoey spoke out.

"I...I don't know. It must be a decision thing or something." Both Quinns stated as the machine suddenly started to sizzle and snap. The sounds grew louder as everyone started to freak out about the ring as it shook rapidly. Suddenly, the flux pulse battery shined very brightly and shattered as everyone ducked and cover from both sides of the ring.

Smoke lingered in the air as everyone coughed and Robbie asked, "Is everyone okay?"

Tori coughed, "Yeah… I think so…" She started to say but paused a moment as she heard another voice say the exact same thing. When the smoke began to clear, she looked around as the dust settled and her eyes widened. She looked in front of her and saw Robbie but beside Robbie was someone that she didn't think she would ever see.

"Quinn, what happens if two windows were opened at the same time?" She heard another voice ask and turned to see another Robbie right next to her. Instinctively, Tori knew that this was her Robbie that was asking Quinn the question. She answered something about it no longer being a window, but more like a doorway and then gasped at the realization of her own words. Robbie nods at her reaction as the other Robbie next to Jade responds back.

"That means we came across into your world." He finishes as everyone started to freak out as Tori held on to Robbie's arm but then noticed Jade doing the same to the Robbie next to her.

"What are you doing standing next to my boyfriend!" Both Tori and Jade asked. Their eyes glued to the fact that they were both keeping close tabs to their Robbie Shapiro.

"Because he is." They both answered at the same time much to theirs and everyone else's shock.

Both Robbies looked at one another with a look of shock and sighed sighed as they closed their eyes in deep realization.

"Oh...pumpernickel."
