"Well, that's it…." Ricky Ullman looked across the soundstage that had been his home for five years on a top-rated Disney comedy. The family home for the set was being carted off and the set for the school was being demolished. The soundstage was looking bigger without the sets. Harboring a buried hostility at Disney Studios for canceling the show at its height in the ratings, he had to rush to save the props he wanted. One had posed as a device called a Wizard, another had been his futuristic sky sled. Secreting another prop from the show into his backpack, he sighed again and glanced up to the actress that had placed his sister. Equally depressed, Ami Buckner hugged her TV brother and whispered him a blessing.

"I'll miss not getting to fight with you, Raviv." She called him by his real name.

"Yeah," He placed his arm around her before departing to meet up with his mother. "Well, five years was a good run and if the residuals from the reruns are good enough, we might get a TV reunion, but I'm not really counting on it."

"What have you got next?"

"A movie, an episode of CSI with Lise and then some commercials with JP…" Ricky escorted his TV sister. "You?"

"Cartoon work mostly…" Ami gasped looking around Disney studios. Rumor was it their old soundstage was going to be used for a new series being rushed into production around Kyle Massey. Rumors around the new show were not favorable, but the company still had money invested in the young man.

"Hear from Aly much?" Ami asked out loud.

"She promised…" Ricky answered. "But the concerts keep her busy…." His cell phone began ringing.

"Maybe that's her." Ami wondered.

"Hello…"

"Hello," Pim Diffy was calling again through her illegal phone board. "Let me introduce you to PIM, the People in Mortality fund indebted to helping people in adversity. For a first donation of $400, you can help the unfortunate get health benefits, homes, furniture, automobiles, Internet access, surface-to-air missiles, anti-missile tanks…."

"Who is it?" Ami asked.

"I don't know." Ricky made a perplexed look. "She kind of sounds like your character from the show."

"I can't figure it out, Arwin…." Back at the Boston hotel, Zack discussed his surreal experience with his brother to Arwin Hawkhauser, the Tipton's maintenance man, a figure like the mentor he wanted. "He had Maddie in there… and London… and some other girl I'd never seen before."

"Are you sure?" Arwin was replacing one of the over-used buttons to one of the elevators near the candy counter. "It sounds unlikely. I mean Maddie could do so much better." He started screwing the new button in place. "Why don't you tell me about the gadget he had with him? Maybe that had something to do with it."

"I don't know…" Cody leaned against the balustrade near the elevators over the sunken lobby floor. "Maybe if it could hypnotize people or something… I think figuring out who the other girl was could answer a lot of questions."

"What'd she look like?" Arwin tested the elevator.

"Well," Cody thought back. "Blonde, blue eyes, tall, very pretty…." He noticed Phil and Keely returning to the hotel from the concert. "Just like her!!!" He jumped to his feet and stopped before Phil and Keely. "Who are you? What were you doing in my bathroom this morning?"

"I beg your pardon." Keely wondered how to answer that.

"Hey, this is my girlfriend, Keely Teslow…." Phil stood his ground to defend her. He looked to Keely then back to Cody. "What's this about?"

"Don't mind him…" Arwin grinned and tugged Cody back. "His brother is a piece of work." He chuckled a bit clearing his throat.

"I saw your girlfriend hiding in my bathroom this morning!" Cody confronted Phil.

"That's impossible. We've been together all day…" Phil then recalled his Wizard had an image of Keely in it. "Wait a second, I lost a small handheld before the concert the other morning. Have you seen it?"

"You lost something?" Cody looked to Arwin and back to Phil. "What is it?"

"Well, it's sort of a…" Phil tried to describe the Wizard in recent terms.

"Personal electronic organizer." Keely realized Phil's thread of thought and had come to the rescue with a definition. "It's small and shaped kind of like a remote or something. It has all our personal info on it."

"I never saw anything like that in lost and found." Arwin confessed.

"I have." Cody answered embarrassed again to have Zack as a brother. "My idiot brother has it. You were trying to get it back, right?" He thought of a rational answer.

"Yup! That's right!!!" Keely went along with his explanation.

"Look…" Phil was desperate to retrieve his Wizard before Zack realized what it really was. "I'll give you…" He dug into his pockets for money. "Ten dollars to get it back."

"Please…" Cody couldn't take his money. "This is on me. I'll bring it to your room."

Cody turned from Phil and Keely; they had a brief gasp of relief, but they wouldn't feel really safe until they had the Wizard back. Arwin had the elevator back and ready and Cody became a young man with a mission, the antithesis of his brother's shenanigans. Upon the twenty-fifth floor, he approached his suite at first scowling and upset then realized his error. It was better to go in intellectually than with force. He reached the door and carefully and slowly turned the doorknob just wide enough to peek inside. He poked his head in and gasped at the spectacle.

"Oh…. ladies…." Zack was stretched out across a massage table. "That feels so good…." Replicants of London and Maddie were rubbing and massaging him while his Keely replicant cooked and made him pudding to spoon-feed him. Cody dropped his jaw at the display of sloth and materialism before noticing the Wizard at the dinner table. His head pointed at the back of the apartment, Zack could not see his brother entering the suite behind him. Sneaking in a few feet, Cody just gestured to London then to the Wizard and she daintily walked over, took it in her fingertips and handed it over to him. Cody whispered a brief inaudible thank-you then backed out of the apartment slowly, carefully turning the doorknob to silently latch it again.

"Do you think your brother would like a massage?" London asked Zack.

"Sure…" Zack grinned sleepily. "But let me have it first so I know it will feel okay."

Silently cheering himself, Cody rushed back to the elevator and hit the button for the eighteenth floor. He wondered if Zack would notice the device missing and what he'd do when he realized it was gone. Briefly looking the object over, he jumped back when the elevator open and rushed with honest exuberance to Phil and Keely's suite. Their door was opened as Cody slid to a stop. Phil gasped a final breath of relief to have his Wizard back!

"Cody," Phil was trying to say more than a mere thank you. "If there's anything I can do in return…"

"Well…" Cody postured and stood back. "You could tell me what it is."

"It's a personal electronic organizer." Phil claimed as a chirp came from the Wizard. A hologram popped up from it of his father on the way to Boston on the skyak. Cody dropped his jaw over the tiny glowing and translucent image.

"Phil…" Lloyd's image spoke. "I got waylaid by a tornado over Ohio, but I'm on the way now…"

"And a video game!!!" Keely added.

"What? Oh…" Lloyd seemed to become conscious of Cody looking at him. "Martians everywhere… Click on to play if you have the points to fight them." He improvised just before Phil switched off the message.

"I don't have the points yet." He suppressed a nervous grin.

"You know…" Cody started wondering. "I don't think I'm mature enough to want to know what it does."

"Sometimes I think the same thing." Keely confessed out loud. Phil and Cody made a hearty handshake to signify their friendship and Cody drifted away to find something to do. He felt good for doing a good deed, but he also felt embarrassed for having the brother he had. In the privacy of Suite 185, Phil immediately turned on his Wizard and rebooting its files to check the memory. To do so, he had to turn off his security codes.

"What the?!"

"What is it?" Keely realized Phil was upset.

"Whoever got it been making replicants!" Phil groused making a face of distaste. "Well, I can quickly fix that. After the trouble with your clone, I installed a sub-routine that can dissolve any unauthorized commands over the last twenty-four hours." He punched in his personal code and hit EXECUTE. "That will fix their little red wagon."

"Zack," On the Twenty-Fifth floor, Carey Martin marched into her son's room. "I need to talk to you." She had returned to the suite, walking past the massage table in the living room and looked into her son in his room on his bed holding a pillow close to him, kissing it and grinning ear-to-ear. She admittedly did the same thing in her George Clooney fantasies, but watching her son do it and mentioning Maddie's name was another matter. She had changed his diapers!

"Zack!"

"What? Mom, I…" Zack looked up and started looking around. "Where'd she go?!" He tossed the pillow aside and started searching his room, bathroom and under his bed. "Keely, come back!!! Maddie, where are you hiding? London? Reese? Jessica?!!!" He looked at his mother. "You sent them away!!!"

"I miss the days you just had monsters under the bed…."

"Hello," Back in Pickford, Pim spoke again with her sugary sweet and innocent voice. "Let me introduce you to PIM, the People in Mortality fund indebted to helping people in adversity. For a first donation of $500, you can help the unfortunate get food, medical benefits, health benefits, homes, automobiles, Internet access, air-to-ground missiles – all the things good and decent people need to…."

"Pimmy?"

"What?" Pim recoiled in shock. She had heard that voice before. She hated that voice. She hated the person behind that voice. She had moved from Pickford with her grandmother to live in Orlando, Florida. Pim's eyes rounded in nervous shock. Her hand began shaking. No… no, it couldn't be… please, for the love of God, no…. not….

"It's me!! It's me, Debbie Berwick!!!" The voice echoed back over the phone. "I missed you so much!!! I've just been thinking and wondering why my good friend Pimmy Diffy never calls me! Did you lose my phone number? Did you know your phone number changed? Can I get your new number? I'll send you my phone number and address and then we can catch up all over again!!!!" Debbie clutched her chest happily, her joy producing tears from her eyes. "It is so good to hear from you again!"

"No!!!!" Pim screamed and grabbed the baseball bat propped up in the corner of the room. She had been freed from that hysterically happy and pretentiously generous Good Samaritan for over a year and was not going back. She realized her phone board had double-crossed her. It had hooked her up again with the one person she did not want to be reconnected with at all. Screaming hysterically, she swung the bat and hit her phone board over and over, trying to kill the evil in it. She cursed and screamed unable to stop herself. She just had to kill it!!

"It's evil!!!" She pounded and crushed the device. "It's evil, I tell you!" She started beating her phone board into tiny pieces. "Evil! I used it to open the gates of the underworld and it must be destroyed!!! Destroyed at all costs!!!" She continued smashing her phone board as detritus from it in the form of loosened buttons, pieces of plastic and microchips flew around it.
