Don'tcha just love how like, every chapter starts out with the fact that my computer breaks? Hahaha, I fixed it myself this time, so TAKE THAT DELL! Heh heh, I'm kinda jazzed up a little bit, I just found out my uncle is coming down from Alaska to see my family and I, so this chappie may seem just a bit keyed up...

"...Liz?"

I couldn't believe it. I knew that she'd disappeared last year, and I knew she always LOVED this show, but I didn't think she'd get sent here too! I tackled her into a hug, squealing. She still looked a bit shocked, but returned the hug with just as much enthusiasim.

"Oh my god, oh my god, oh my GOD! What are you doing here? I thought you disappeared!"

"What are you doing here? I didn't know anyone else could come over like that! Eep! And Keila's here too?" She grabbed a surprised looking Keila and hugged her fiercely. I laughed and hugged her harder.

"So how the FUCK did you get here? And why haven't you come back?" She looked confused for a moment.

"What do you mean, haven't come back...? I've only been here for, like, three days!" A look of horror spread across both Keila and I's faces. That just made her scared. "I have only been here for three days, haven't I?" Uh oh.

"Hon, you've been gone for about four months," Keila said sadly, as Rach got even more scared.

"But- but how? It feels like it's only been three days...?" My eyes widened.

"Of course! Time moves slower in other dimensions, right? So I'm assuming that concept works here... We must've been gone for over a month by now!" Keila had been slurping on her Coke not a moment before, and she started choking, hard. Kowalski patted her on the back until the fit passed.

"Oh no! We've got to get back, now!" She said once she got her breath back.

"But how? We only got here by accident anyways, it'll probably take a lot longer to get back than it did to get here... Unless..." I turned my gaze onto Rachel. "You wanna tell us something?" Up until then, I don't think she really paid attention to the guys behind us, but now she looked at them, not meeting my eyes, and blushed. She was notorious for getting into the whole witchcraft and wicca stuff, which I thought was pretty cool and I usually joined in, but now she could really be the answer to our prayers.

"Well... I might've brought us all here, accidentally..." I groaned. Of course.

"Nice. You think you can do it again?" She looked doubtful.

"I'd need to go to a good metaphysical store and get some supplies, but I think I could manage it with some help. But it'd be expensive, that's for sure." I smiled.

"Money's not a problem for us anymore." I slipped a few bills from the top of my pocket discreetly. We didn't need anyone trying to rob us or anything on top of it all. Her eyes widened even more, and I laughed at her a little bit. She'd been gaping a lot since we ran into her.

"I think that'd cover it," she said faintly. I noticed that she seemed to be eyeing Rico nervously, who was at the moment trying to hide in another clothes rack. "What's up with him?" Keila and I shared a laugh.

"Monster energy drinks is what's wrong with him." She nodded understandingly. We'd had our share of Monster drinking contests, with all of them ending up with all three of us acting as Rico is now.

"So who are you guys, anyway?" She was looking at all four of the boys again. Private spoke up first, always friendly.

"I'm Private, and these are Skippah and K'walski. Rico is... erm... somewhere in the store..." He rubbed the back of his head nervously. It was true, Rico had disappeared AGAIN. I watched as comprehension and manic fangirl energy started spreading across Rachel's face. I gave her a look which I hope said 'the fourth wall has yet to be broken', but I wasn't sure she got the message.

"Well, now that we've got the intro's done, why don't we go ahead and check out? I don't want to risk another Walmart bif with Liz, those definately are NOT fun..." Keila said.

"What bif?" I blushed. This was not a conversation I had wanted to have. Rachel spoke up when the silence lasted too long.

"She pretty much always gets kicked out of any Walmart or Target she goes into. Either she's done something to another person or she's 'caused substantial damage to their property'. Load'a shit if you ask me, she just happens to be there when the shelves start falling and stuff... But anyways, let's start heading up to the front, maybe we can find your friend, what's his name, Rico?" Skipper nodded to us to lead the way. It was so easy to forget that these guys had been penguins not four hours ago.

We ended up buying plenty of clothes, including all black outfits just for shits and giggles, and we spent well over $1000. I wasn't used to the plush life, and it felt nice to be living that way, even if it was just temporarily. It turns out Rachel was in a sort of predicament like ours, though we still hadn't decided if she had super powers or not just yet. I hoped she did. She was living in a small apartment without anyone else knowing, and we decided that as long as we'd be staying here, we should probably go stay there instead. She was fine with it.

"I call the shower first!" Keila called, skipping ahead with her large amount of bags. I groaned.

"Really? Cuz I'm pretty sure I'm going to sit on you until you let me go first," I stated. I'd do it if I had to, possibly sitting on her for hours. Then again, those were hours wasted, meaning they would be days passed in our dimension. I noticed that Rachel was falling behind, and I slowed my pace to match hers. We were soon out of earshot of everyone else.

"So, what's up? You've been oddly quiet this whole time," I said.

"I guess I just wasn't expecting time to pass so fast here. So how'd you guys find them?" She asked.

"Find who, the guys? We didn't find them, they found us. They knocked us out and took them to HQ within the first two hours of us being here." She laughed.

"So they really are penguins, aren't they? Well, how did they end up being human, then?" She cocked an eyebrow.

"Oh, Kowalski made this human potion stuff that they all drank, it should wear off in like two or three hours, should being the key word. You never know with him." She laughed again, but then stopped abruptly.

"You didn't happen to get... powers when you came through the portal, did you?" My eyes widened.

"Yeah, how did you know? Did you get them too?" She smirked.

"I caused them to happen when I came through, so yeah, I did." She extended some white claws, seemingly just stretching her hands. I did the same, showing off my deep black ones. We grinned at eachother, then looked back up when we heard a call.

"Hey guys, I think I found something!" Keila yelled. I ran forward, Rach not far behind, and skidded past the alley that Keila was standing in, bathed in orange light. I slid straight past it and fell onto my side.

"Fuck," I gasped, then rolled to my feet again. Everyone else was already there, conversing.

"I know exactly where it leads: Straight to hell!" Skipper yelled.

"No, this is how we got here, it's obviously the way we're supposed to get back!" Keila parried.

"Oh yeah? And how do you suppose you do that, just jump down there and pray for mercy?" He snapped back.

"That worked out pretty well the first time!"

"Would you just shut up! Both of you! I'm pretty tired of this dipshit-diddlyshit argument already, and I just got here! We've got to go down there, and that's the end of it." I had everyone's attention now. "We've got to go back. We've already been gone in their time for at least a month, and I'm betting that everyone's looking for us. I'm sorry, it's been great getting to know you guys, but we've got lives there, families, jobs and school! We can't just drop it all. I'm sorry," I repeated. I then proceeded to step forward, sigh, and jump into the hole.

REGULAR POV:

Everyone watched as the last of Liz's burgandy hair disappeared down the hole.

"I'm sorry guys, but she's right, we've gotta go. Thanks for everything," Keila said, then she jumped down there as well. Rachel just said 'sorry', then followed suit. The guys looked around at eachother. Private was trying not to cry, Rico looked crestfallen, Kowalski looked almost heartbroken, and Skipper was obviously trying to stay frosty, but was failing.

"Well, boys, I guess we should start heading home," Skipper said sadly. They had only known the girls for a short amount of time, but they were beginning to like them. They all started heading down the alley, except for Private. He looked from his teammates, to the hole, and back again a few times, then cried out and jumped down the hole, trying to make it look like something grabbed him from inside of it. The three remaining men turned around, looking every which way, then located the source of the noise. They rushed over, looking down the hole to see Private speeding away.

"Skipper, I think we may have to go after him," Kowalski said, a spark of hope shining in his eyes.

"I agree. Operation: Rabbithole is a go." He then jumped into the swirling orange mass, crossing his arms across his chest. Rico went next, jumping in headfirst. Kowalski took a look around his home, then jumped in as well, the portal closing behind him.

How's that for an ending? I didn't mean for this all to happen so fast, but it really just seemed like the best time for it, instead of dragging out their time in NYC too long and everyone getting bored. PLEASE R&R R&R R&R R&R please please please please please!
