Zak examined the portal curiously. Then he jumped back in shock as a girl with red hair fell out. "Eek!" she said as she stood up, "Rythian! Help!" Zak was shocked by how much the girl's voice sounded like his, but he somehow remembered not to scream and also that Talna was going to be pissed if she found him. Zak started running and, at the last second, turned to the mystery girl and said "Come ON, Talna's going to be so mad!"
When Talna made it to the portal, there was no one there. Talna highly doubted that the alarm was faulty, so who had come through the portal? And if she knew anything about the parallel universes, it was that the person's opposite would be waiting for them on the other side of the portal. So, had someone come through or gone through?
Someone came through the portal, falling on his face in the dirt. Talna remembered from her opposite's introductions that this was Rythian, and as he stood up she could hear him muttering "That was elegant…" Then Talna realized that she was standing there in her pyjamas. How embarrassing.
Momentarily deciding to forget that she was standing there in her pyjamas, Talna asked Rythian "Why'd you come through?" Rythian, admittedly still kicking himself for falling on his face, took a moment to answer "Zoey came through." Talna stared for a second, then she remembered that Zoey was Zak's opposite.
At that moment, Rythian's alter ego ran up. Reyna was gasping for breath as she asked "Rythian! Where's Zak?" Rythian answered that he didn't know and Zoey was missing too. Then the portal powered up again and Talna wasn't especially surprised when Lalna stumbled out. She noticed with a certain amusement that he was wearing pyjamas too. He and Talna didn't even need to speak to communicate, which saved a lot of time. Then Mavs and Leep ran up, and all four of them said "Oh, no." at exactly the same time as Ravs and Teep entered the world.
