It was the beginning of a new day and Luba could not be more excited for it. She, her sisters Ludos, and Linn agreed to go on a nice picnic in the Regal Thicket park and were currently walking there now.

"Oooooh I'm so excited!" Ludos's left head exclaimed much to the right head's annoyance.

"You don't have to be so loud sis… especially since we're right next to you." Ludos's right head responded in a slightly irked tone.

"Sorry! I'm just really excited for this! It's been so long since I've had a proper picnic!" Ludos's right head excitedly exclaimed again.

As the two heads of Ludos continued their conversation up in the front, Luba and Linn were busy behind them having a conversation of their own.

"So Luba, how are ya liking your new body?" Linn asked the tall girl. "Looks like all that training finally paid off!"

"I love it Linn, the training was rough and stressful at times, but obtaining this body was well worth it!" Luba exclaimed as she looked over and felt her newly acquired curves. "Have you ever thought about opening up your own gym?"

Linn blushed and rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "Well… I never really put that much thought into it you know. You really think my training is that good Luba?"

"I wouldn't be saying it if I didn't mean it Linn." Luba said, responding to her floofy haired friend.

Linn chuckled embarrassingly until she noticed Luba's green and black watch that she got from Lisa.

"So that's the thing that helped you get back home huh?" Linn asked curiously.

"Sure is!" Luba exclaimed in response, striking a dramatic pose. "This little baby was the way I was able to get home from that other universe!"

"And you said that there were people there that looked almost exactly like us right?" Linn asked as the group entered the park.

"Yep. Truthfully it was a little bit creepy seeing people who looked almost exactly like me and the rest of my friends, but they were really nice." Luba explained, reminiscing. "Although some of them were very tall for their age."

"Wow… now I wanna see what my counterpart is like!" Linn exclaimed excitedly.

"Well maybe one day, I'll gather the whole gang, and we'll all go back there together." Luba said while rubbing the floof's hair.

"Hey! If you two are done talking, I found a good place for us to set up our picnic!" Ludos's left head exclaimed as she pointed to a nearby patch of green grass underneath a large tree.

"I was the one who found it sis, don't you go taking all the credit!" Ludos's right head exclaimed.

Luba bonked both of Ludos's heads together to get them to stop fighting. "You both found it, now quit it." Luba said, parental instincts kicking in.

"Yes sis…" Ludos's heads said in unison.

"Now then, did you guys bring the tarp?" Luba asked Ludos.

"Luba, you looked over our shoulders the entire time we were packing." Ludos said holding up a paper handbag. "Of course we brought the tarp."

"Okay good." Luba turned to face Linn as Ludos started setting up the tarp. "Linn, did you bring the food and drinks?"

"You bet I did! I brought all the essentials! Check it!" Linn exclaimed as she emptied the entire picnic basket on the tarp.

Luba looked over the contents of the picnic basket that Linn had packed in neat little plastic bags.

"Linn… you do realize you only brought meatballs and bread right?" Luba asked with a very unimpressed expression.

"Yep! I realized that you and Ludos haven't had the chance to eat any meatball subs yet! Especially not with my custom made meatballs!" Linn exclaimed happily. "And besides, I brought water too!"

"Oooh! You made those meatballs yourself? That's awesome Linn!" Ludos exclaimed, sitting on the tarp.

"I guess having maybe… one or two meatball subs wouldn't hurt." Luba said, sitting next to Ludos on the tarp.

"That's the spirit Lubs!" Linn exclaimed excitedly as she sat down as well.

Linn made a meatball sub for Luba and two meatball subs for both of Ludos's heads and excitedly waited for an answer on how they tasted.

"So? How are they?" Linn asked excitedly, not being able to keep herself still.

Luba thought to herself, trying to describe the taste with every chew. "It's really good Linn! Could do with a bit more flavor, but that really comes down to my personal preference. I'd give it an 8 out of 10."

"Thank you Luba!" Linn exclaimed before turning to Ludos. "How about you Lud-"

"HOOOOOOOOOOT!! IT'S SO HOT!" Ludos's left head exclaimed as she quickly grabbed the pitcher of water and started drinking from it.

"Do you have to be so overdramatic sis?" Ludos's right head said unimpressed. "But yeah, it's a bit too hot and spicy for me, but otherwise, it's fantastic. 7 out of 10 for me."

"Thank you guys! I knew I could trust your feedback." Linn said happily. "You guys want some more?"

"I'm good for right now." Ludos said, laying down on the tarp.

"I could go for another one myself." Luba requested.

"You got it Lubs!" Linn exclaimed. She reached for the bag of meatballs when she had a shocking realization. "Wait… WHAT?!" Linn exclaimed in shock.

Luba and Ludos turned towards Linn in surprise. "Linn? What's wrong?" Luba asked.

"Are we out of meatballs and bread already?" Ludos followed up.

"No… I'm positive that we had more meatballs and bread." Linn explained, looking all around the tarp and picnic basket. "The bags that had the ingredients in them just… disappeared!"

"How does that work?" Ludos's left head asked. "I may not be the smartest person around, but I'm positive plastic bags can't just grow legs and walk away."

"I don't know… GAAAAAARGHH! This blows!" Linn exclaimed in very noticeable anger. "When I get my hands on whoever took my buns and my balls, I'm gonna-"

"Wait Linn, be quiet for a second." Luba said quietly, trying to hear something. "You hear that?"

Linn looked at Luba with a confused expression until she also started hearing something.

"Yeah… I hear it too." Linn whispered as she moved closer to Luba's position.

"What are you guys talking abou-" Ludos started to say before Luba and Linn closed each of Ludos's mouths with their hands, much to Ludos's annoyance.

Luba and Linn could hear a faint sound coming from the trunk of the tree that they were having a picnic under. It sounded like faint chewing.

"It's definitely coming from the tree." Linn said, having her left ear placed firmly on the tree's trunk. "But the question is… how would I get inside?"

Luba stood up and looked all over the tree's trunk for a potential opening.

"Linn, look up." Luba whispered to Linn. "There's a hole near the top of the tree trunk. That's probably where the sound is coming from."

"The hole looks like it could potentially be an owl's house." Ludos whispered to the two women.

"Well owl or not, I'm getting my food back no matter what." Linn said as she started to slowly climb the tree.

Luba and Ludos silently watched as Linn climbed the tree to the hole near the top.

"Luba, you're enjoying the view from down here aren't you?" Ludos said jokingly before getting playfully punched in the arm by their tall sister. "Alright it was just a joke…"

After a little while, Linn finally made it to the hole near the top of the tree.

"Alright you food stealing monster, time to see what you look like, and get back my food!" Linn said in her head.

Linn stuck her head into the hole and was utterly taken aback at what she saw inside the hole.

"What… what ARE you?!" Linn exclaimed.

Luba and Ludos could hear Linn's surprised scream before she dropped from the tree and landed face first onto the grass, making a Linn sized hole.

"Linn?!? Are you okay?" Ludos frantically asked.

"Relax sis, she'll be okay. I swung and hit her in the face with a golf club and the golf club broke. This is nothing." Luba reassured Ludos. "The question I have is, what caused Linn to fall like that?"

As if on command, Luba and Ludos saw a creature land on Linn's large rear with one of the plastic bags in its mouth.

"What… the hell is that?" Ludos asked flabbergasted.

"I… I have no idea." Luba responded, equally as flabbergasted.

The creature had big, floofy brown hair covering all of its body except for its face, and had no visible legs sticking out. The strangest part was that it had a shocking human-like face, and even more strange was that it bore a striking resemblance to Linn herself!

"Whatever it is, it doesn't seem to be harmful." Ludos said nervously. "It actually looks kinda cute, in a kinda morbid way."

Luba went over and held out her hand to the Linn-like creature, who was currently rubbing its body against the unconscious Linn's tush.

"Looks like Linn passed out from the shock of… whatever this is rather than the fall itself." Luba said to herself as the creature ran onto her hand, revealing its rather stubby legs.

"How does it feel Luba?" Ludos asked from afar.

"It feels… soft." Luba said, stroking the creature's hair, resulting in high pitched squeaking from the small creature. "It reminds me of the feeling whenever I ruffle Linn's hair."

Ludos came over and started to rub the creature's hair as well.

"You're right! It does feel like Linn's hair!" Ludos exclaimed.

"You know what I find weird about all this Ludos?" Luba asked.

"The fact that it looks and feels just like one of our most trusted friends?" Ludos asked.

"Well… kinda." Luba said. "This creature has purely brown hair, while Linn herself has more of a reddish colored tint in her hair."

"Yeah? What's your point sis?" Ludos asked confused as the creature nuzzled against one of her fingers.

"I'm just saying that this creature has brown hair while Linn doesn't." Luba explained. "But… the Lynn of the dimension I traveled to does have brown hair."

"Really now?" Ludos asked intrigued. "What do you think this means then?"

"Well… Lisa did tell me that some dimensional rifts were a bit messed up ever since that storm passed over our dimension." Luba said to her sisters. "So maybe that's what's happening."

Luba held the Linn-like creature in one hand and picked up Linn herself by the stomach with her other hand.

"Ludos, could you stay with Linn and explain to her everything I told you when she wakes up?" Luba asked as she sat down the unconscious Linn at the base of the tree.

"Sure, but where are you going sis?" Ludos asked her tall sister.

"I'm going to Lucy's place to see what she thinks of this." Luba said before running off to Lucy's place.

Luba ran and ran to where Lucy lived, all while holding the Linn-like creature close to her, keeping her safe.

After a while of running, Luba made it to where Lucy lived and rang the doorbell.

"Hey Luba, fancy meeting you here." Lucy said. "Usually I'm the one meeting you at your place. What's up?"

"I have something I have to talk to you about Luce." Luba said, breathing hard. "Are you busy right now?"

"I just got off the phone with an old friend of mine from high school, so I've got nothing to do right now." Lucy said as she let her tall friend with benefits inside her house. "So what's the matter?"

"It's this." Luba said as she showed Lucy the creature. "I found this while on a picnic with Ludos and Lucy and I think this is a result of the messed up dimensions Lisa was talking about."

Lucy held back her urge to squeal like a schoolgirl as best she could upon seeing the cuteness of the Linn-like creature.

"Well I think that might be exactly what's happening." Lucy said as she led Luba to a secluded part of her house. "I've actually experienced something similar myself."

"You have?" Luba asked intriguingly.

Lucy grabbed a tarp and threw it off of what it was covering.

"Woah…" Luba said in awe.

What Lucy uncovered was a fish tank, filled with water. What Luba was so surprised over was what was inside of the fish tank. Inside the fish tank were a bunch of tiny mermaid-like creatures that bore a striking similarity to Lucy herself.

"I found a bunch of these little cuties out in the park one day and kept them in this tank for research." Lucy explained as she put one of her fingers in the tank, with one of the Lucy mermaids swimming up to hug her finger. "Now it's like I'm their mom."

"They're adorable!" Luba exclaimed as she put her finger in as well, with one of the Lucy mermaids biting Luba's finger. "Ow! What's the big idea?"

"They're not too familiar with you yet Luba." Lucy explained. "Give it time and I'm sure they'll warm up to you eventually."

"I guess that's true…" Luba said sadly, sucking the finger that was bitten.

"Also Lubs, can I ask a favor of you?" Lucy asked.

"Sure. What's up Luce?" Luba responded.

"Can I… keep that creature that you brought in here?" Lucy asked. "It's totally adorable and I wanna keep it around."

"Yeah sure!" Luba said as she handed Lucy the Linn-like creature. "Beware though, you might become infatuated by its sheer cuteness!"

"Too late. I already love it." Lucy said fawning over the small creature to Luba's amusement.

Meanwhile….

"So Luba went off to Lucy's place to ask her what she thought of the creature that looked like me, that might've come from another dimension entirely?" Linn asked Ludos.

"Yeah, basically." Ludos responded. "You understood that a lot faster than I thought you would!"

"I'm just glad there's only one of them… that freaked me out." Linn said, sighing with relief.

Just as Linn finished her sentence, her and Ludos saw another one of those creatures. But this one was different, it had a blue shell with white spikes on it, and a male face as well. Linn looked at it in stunned silence.

"Well look on the bright side Linn!" Ludos exclaimed. "At least this one doesn't look like you!"

"It's so… so… so… cute!" Linn exclaimed before passing out again.

Ludos sighed as the left head looked at Linn while the right head looked at the new creature, rubbing its body happily against the outside of Linn's thigh.
