Bianca awoke in her bed in Kansas. She woke up with a shock. Was it all a dream? What had happened? She went to get up when she slooked beside her and saw Manikan laying there asleep. She screamed. Manikan woke immediately. Bianca's mom ran in the room.
"What?! What's wrong?!" her mother yelled.
"Oh my God!" Bianca screamed.
Her mother glanced beside her and saw Manikan.
"Who is this? Bianca what is going on?" her mother said.
"I have no idea!" Bianca said "Manikan, do you remember everything? Do you know who I am?"
"Yes. I remember everything. How did we get here?"
"I said 'There's no place like home' and then we were here right as the bomb hit zero." Bianca said.
"What?! What in the hell is going on? Who is this?" Bianca's mom said.
"This is Manikan. He was with me and my friends in Oz. But everything, everyone, is gone." Bianca began to cry.
"What is Oz?" Her mother questioned.
Bianca, Manikan, and Bianca's mother sat on the couch in the living room as the two of them explained everything to her. When they finished, they sat in silence for a long time.
"We need to go back" Bianca said suddenly.
"What?!" Manikan and Bianca's mother said together.
"We have to! Space and Pigzits are still under control of the clones."
"We can't take them out ourselves Bianca."
"We have to try."
"How would you get back?" Bianca's mother asked suddenly.
"We've done it before. My shoes are a way to get there. Click them three times and we're there. That's all. We need to." Bianca said.
"Bianca, I don't know that it's a good idea. It's not safe." Bianca's mother said.
"We're going." Bianca demanded.
"No." Her mother began.
Bianca stood in her place and grabbed Manikan's arm as he continued to sit. She stared straight into her mother's eye and she clicked the heals of her ruby-red shoes three times and they were gone.
