"In a single day and night of misfortune, ZOOM was canceled due to PBS funding cuts."

"We're sorry to inform you that ZOOM has been … canceled." Marcy said with tears in her eyes.

Before long, various "Whys?" filled the room.

"It was due to government cuts of PBS funding. They deemed your show too expensive to produce." explained Marcy.

"They canceled the show due to PBS losing its funding."

"Aww." groaned the kids in the room.

Boston, Massachusetts

"Hey, Staysh, ever heard of the show ZOOM?"

"Uhh, yeah. I watched that show as a kid."

"Well, PBS and WGBH made a new version for TV a few years ago, and I love watching that show." Rachel told Stacia.

"So, you don't like us, huh?" Kenny asked Harold.

"Yep, Kenny, and now, I am planning to destroy the ZOOM set in a fire, kidnap you two, and woo you with horror movies!" Harold told the teen, and laughed evilly.

"How about we show the trolls what we're all about by showing off our talents?" suggested Rachel. "See, the ZOOMers are so talented…"

Suddenly, Buzz was in the room, trying to show everyone whoopee cushions tied to his shoes. "Hey guys, check it out, fart shoes!"

The whoopee cushions made a rude noise when Buzz walked in his shoes. "Patent pending!"

"What are you doing here?"

"A bus just dropped me off here." Eric told the "DOOMers."

The two ran off together to the WGBH attic.

"Holy cow!" Kaleigh was surprised at how dirty the attic was and how high she and Rachel were.

"I know." Rachel nodded.

"C'mon, everyone, let's stop Harold the Troll and get ZOOM back on TV!" insisted Caroline.

"Well, you two, get ready, 'cause you're goin' down!" exclaimed Harold as he once again laughed evilly.

Matt Dillon

"Oh, better go! Gotta go to the troll dinner party!" exclaimed Harold as he jumped into the small door and ran away.

Jennifer Aniston

"Oh, that's my new friend, Stacia. She works at space camp." explained Rachel, before introducing Stacia to Keiko. "Stacia, this is Keiko. She was in the first season of ZOOM."

"Heya, Keiko!"

"Hey, Stacia!" Keiko waved.

"Guys, don't fret!" Kate told the cast. "If you continue to work together, you'll still be friends and get the job done, just like always!"

"So, do you know where the ZOOMers are?" wondered Caroline.

"Listen, I know what to do!" Rachel told her castmate.

"The ZOOM studio caught fire. A bunch of trolls did it! I saw it on tape!"

"Oh no! That's terrible!"

"You're a hero!" Rachel added and hugged Stacia.

"Aww, thank you guys." replied Stacia.
