"Who are you?" Penny asked the dirty blonde girl.

"Don't I know you from somewhere?" Marina asked "You look familiar"

"Hi my name is Mikayla McFarland" said the dirty blonde

"You must be Jackie's friends"

"What a coincidence" said Marina "That's my last name as well"

"That's cause you two are related,

Marina" said Jackie "Meet your long lost twin sister!"

"Sister?" Penny and Marina asked at the same time.

"Yes" said Mikayla "I am your long lost twin sister"

"But how?" asked Marina.

"We'll discuss this later," said Penny

"For now, you have to get out of there"

Jackie had just finished reactivating Gadget. He was restarting faster than you can say "The Incredible World of DiC".

"Wowsers" said Gadget as he reactivated "Where am I?"

"Gadget!" Jackie hugged him "You're alive"

"Jackie?" Gadget asked "What's going on? Where am I?"

"We'll explain along the way" said Mikayla "Now, we've gotta get outta here"

"Go go gadget laser beam" Gadget unscrewed his finger and cut a hole in the wall.

Gadget kicked off the hole and she and the others made their way to the escape. Along the way, Mikayla was explaining everything to Gadget.

Meanwhile, Penny and Marina made it back to Grace's house to tell them the news.

"Penny! Marina!" Grace exclaimed "Where on earth have you been?"

"Guess what mom?" Penny said excitedly "My uncle is innocent after all and he's going to get released"

"That's great" William said "Now we can go home"

"Yeah" Grace tried to smile "That's…great"

"What's wrong mom?" asked Penny "Aren't you happy that my uncle isn't a crook?"

"I'm happy, but I'm sad that you won't be able to live with us anymore" Grace explained "It was great having you around these past few days, and Arthur loves you…I don't know if I want to lose you guys"

"You won't have to, Ms. Grace" said Penny "You still have custody of us, and Uncle Gadget can come live here with us"

"I guess that could work" said Grace "Come on, let's get to the courthouse"

Meanwhile back at the lair, Gadget, Mikayla and Jackie were making their way out of the prison. They had finished explaining the situation.

"So you're Marina's long lost sister?" Gadget asked Mikayla.

"Yeah" said Mikayla "We were kidnapped when we were to remember each other, and I've wanted to find her ever since. But now since you guys have rescued me, I can see her again"

"Well we're not going to get you back to your sister at this rate" said Gadget "Alright ladies, hang on to me"

Mikayla and Jackie climbed onto Gadget's shoulders, like he said.

"Go go gadget power-skates!" he boldly said.

Gadget's feet converted into power skates and they started rocketing off towards the exit. However, the whole place was put on lockdown.

"Wowsers" said Gadget "We're on lockdown"

"Gee," Jackie remarked "That was a bit redundant"

Just then, someone came right up to them. It was none other than the notorious, Presto Chango.

"You're not going anywhere" said the man "Allow me to rectify your misconceptions"

"Does that mean he's gonna hurt us?" Gadget asked Jackie.

"Pretty much" Jackie gulped.

Presto's goons walked right up to Gadget and the girls and apprehended them. Several hours later, they woke up to find out they were somewhere mysterious.

"What's going on?" Gadget wondered "Where am I?"

Gadget was strapped to some sort of platform, and so were the girls.

"Ah, I see you made it Gadget" Presto grinned.

"Where are we?" Mikayla demanded "What's going on? Explain yourself!"

"It's quite simple," Presto said "I am going to rob this bank as you, leave you in the safe and you'll be back in that prison and shut down for good"

"You'll never get away with this Chango!" Gadget exclaimed "You can't make me go in there"

"It's too late Gadget we are already here we'll get away with the crime and instead they will look for you" Presto gloated.

"I don't think so!" someone shouted from outside.

"Huh?" Gadget looked around.

"Who said that?" Presto demanded.

Just then, the door to the mysterious place busted open and there was none other than, the G-Squad with the police.

"Hold it right there, Presto!" a cop pointed his gun at the criminals "You're coming with us!"

"What's going on?" Presto demanded.

"Simple" said Penny "We went back to the basement and uncovered some evidence! Looks like you're busted buddy!"

"Yeah" said Chief Quimby as he handcuffed the thief "Good work G-Squad"

"No problem Chief" said William.

Penny, Marina, Brain and William ran up to Gadget and hugged him.

"Oh Uncle Gadget" Penny hugged him "I'm so happy to have you back"

"So are we" Marina and William hugged Gadget as well.

"Good to be back, kids" Gadget smiled "Now let's get home"

"Uh, Uncle Gadget" Penny stopped him "There's something we have to tell you"

"What?" Gadget asked Penny.

"We've got a new family" Penny responded "A mom and an adorable baby brother, and they still have custody over us"

"And we kind of like living with them" Marina added "So…we've got some problems and loose ends"

"What do you mean we've got loose ends?" Gadget asked Marina.

"Well for one thing," said Penny "We're still in Ms. Grace's custody, Uncle Gadget has nowhere to live, we're still stuck on the whole 'Marina has a sister thing' and we just got word that our old house has been sold"

"Wowsers" said Gadget "This is a calamity"

"Not to mention a set up for our next story" William added "Read it all about it in the author's note, readers!"
