In a blue flash, Sydney appeared inside of a shower with warm water running. As Sydney felt the warm water hit her naked body, she made a little smile as she said, "Well... at least I get a comfortable landing in a new world for once." Sydney then spent a minute washing her hair and enjoying the warm shower. Soon Sydney stepped out of the shower into a bathroom. Sydney began to dry her wet body off, while suddenly she heard the sounds of two teenage girls complaining outside the door. She heard one young female voice say, "That's my outfit. You just can't grab dresses that aren't yours." Then another female voice was heard saying, "You weren't gonna wear it to begin with Valicity, so it doesn't matter." As Sydney put on a nearby bath robe, she felt confused as she said to herself, "What's going on? Do I have a bunch of sisters on this world?" Then suddenly Sydney heard a knock on the bathroom door, and then heard a familiar male voice say, "Syd. It's Harry. Our girls need you to solve another outfit dispute." Sydney suddenly had a freaked out look on her face as she said, "Our girls?" Then Sydney approached the fogged up bathroom mirror, as she heard Harry on the other side of the door saying, "Girls, this complaining has to stop. The last thing your mother needs to hear is you two bickering on her 40th birthday." Then Sydney wiped away the condensation on the bathroom mirror, and saw her reflection in the mirror... only she was much older. Sydney then backed up with a freaked out look on her face as she said, "I'm forty!?"

In the evening: Sydney was walking down a sidewalk as she wore a long blue dress, while a grown up Harry walked near her, and two teenage girls walked ahead of them. One of the girls then said, "Can we run ahead mom?" Sydney then said, "Yeah... sure... sweety." Then as the two teenage girls ran ahead, Sydney kept looking down at her body. A confused looking Harry then said, "Everything okay Syd?" Sydney looking a bit nervous said, "Have my hips gotten wider? And is my butt bigger? And why does walking such a long distance feel harder than it used to?" Harry chuckled as he said, "Have you only finally noticed the last twenty years of your body changing Syd? Don't worry. You've only gotten more beautiful as far as I am concerned." Then suddenly the two heard Olive's voice say, "Hey you two!" Then Sydney saw a grown up Olive and Emmy walking towards them holding hands, as a teenage boy walked near them. As Sydney focused on Olive and Emmy holding hands, she said, "Wait. Are Olive and Emmy..." Harry chuckled as he said, "Still holding hands everywhere like newlyweds." Sydney looked a bit shocked as she said, "Right. Olive and Emmy are married... because of course they are." Olive then approached Sydney and hugged her as she said, "Happy birthday Syd! You're finally in the Over the Hill Club with us. How does it feel?" Sydney looking a bit uncertain of what to say then said, "It feels... old."

Sydney was sitting around a table in a restaurant with Harry, Olive, and Emmy, along with her and Harry's two daughters, and Olive and Emmy's son. Then Sophia walked into the restaurant with a teenage boy and teenage girl behind her. Sophia instantly walked over to Sydney with a present in her hands as she said, "Happy Birthday Syd! You remember my nephew Terry, right?" Sydney looked at the teenage boy Terry, and waved as she said, "Oh... right. Terry... I hardly could recognize him." Then Sophia said, "Oh, and this is his girlfriend Olivia. Thanks for letting her tag along to your party too." The teenage girl: Olivia waved as she said, "Happy birthday m'am." Then as everyone sat down, Harry stood up and said, "Well, for Sydney's birthday - me and the girls put together a little slideshow of her life. But we made sure Sydney was never alone in any picture, because we want her to know how much all of us having enjoyed growing up alongside her."

Then on a screen nearby: a slideshow began. As the slideshow began rolling through many pictures, Sydney smiled as she saw familiar pictures of her early childhood with her parents, Harry, and Olive. But then Sydney began to see unfamiliar pictures of herself and Harry together in high school, then in graduation outfits, then Sydney saw unfamiliar pictures that herself on a college campus, one picture of herself pregnant, and then one picture of herself in a hospital bed holding a baby girl, then various photos of herself and everyone she knew looking older and older. As the many slides passed, Sydney began to look very uncomfortable. Then as soon as the slideshow ended, Sydney stood up looking uneasy as she lost track of everything else going on around her. A concerned Harry then said, "Sydney, are you okay?" Sydney looking a bit out of sorts said, "No. But... I think I just need to use the bathroom and get some air outside. I'll be back in a bit." Then Sydney walked away from everyone.

Sydney stepped outside behind the restaurant as she pressed upon the jade stone attached to her necklace as she said, "Come on Cyber Olive. Can you please appear now? Come on!" Then from Sydney's jade stone: a holographic image of Cyber Olive appeared. Cyber Olive smiled as she said, "Hey Sydney Prime. Wow, you are really pulling off the mom-bod look." Then a frustrated looking Sydney said, "But that's what I don't get. Why am I pulling off this look!? I thought when I became the Sydney of these other universes I travel to, I just took her place! Why did I suddenly age over twenty years!?" Then Cyber Olive calmly said, "It's okay Syd. Let me explain. When you switch places with the other Sydney's, you basically take over their minds. So when you become the Sydney of other universes, you are in their bodies, while your true body is left safely floating in the void. This of course doesn't happen if you go to a universe where you never existed. Only then do you travel in your real body." Then a still confused Sydney said, "But... how can I be in the future though? I thought I just traveled to parallel realities. I don't travel in time too, do I?" Olive turned her head and said, "No. But the multiverse is kind of funny, and time doesn't pass the same in every universe. Think about how the planets orbit the sun. For Mercury: a year is shorter when compared to one on Earth, while a year on Neptune is much longer. Think of the universe you're in as being like a world that orbits closer to the center of the multiverse. Time has just passed more quickly here, which is why your doppelganger is much older. But rest assured, this is very much the present for this reality. Now we just have to figure out what you can do to help this world's future."

Then the holographic image of Cyber Olive disappeared, just as Sophia stepped outside of the restaurant and said, "Hey Sydney. Have you seen Terry?" Sydney then said, "Uh, no. I just came out here to get some fresh air. Why do you ask?" A nervous looking Sophia said, "He asked for my keys so he could get his old camera out of the car, but he's not anywhere in the restaurant, and I can't find his girlfriend Olivia either." Then Sydney said, "Well... have you checked your car yet?" Sophia hit her forehead quickly and then said, "I am an idiot. Come on. Lets go see." Then Sophia and Sydney walked over to Sophia's car, and upon getting closer they heard giggling. Then Sophia immediately moved quick, and then opened the back door of her car and saw Terry and Olivia laying in the back seat of the car completely naked as Terry was on top of Olivia. Then an angry Sophia yelled, "Clothes on! NOW!" As Terry sat up he said, "Aunt Sophia, it's not..." Then Sophia picked up some pants she saw on the seat, and threw them in Terry's face as she yelled, "CLOTHES ON! NOW!" Terry and Olivia quickly put their clothes on as Sophia and Sydney stood several feet away from the car. Soon, a fully dressed Terry and Olivia stepped out of the car. Sophia then looked at Olivia and said, "Olivia. Do you have your own phone?" Olivia looking guilty, nodded, and then said, "Yes." Then Sophia said, "Call your parents and have someone pick you up NOW! Sydney here will wait with you in front of the restaurant... while Terry and I have a discussion right here and right now." Sydney looking a bit shocked then walked away with Olivia; only looking back once to see how furious Sophia seemed to be.

Sydney was sitting in the living room of Sophia's home, as Sophia walked into the room looking upset. Sophia sat down breathing heavily, as a concerned looking Sydney then said, "Sophia... are you okay?" Sophia sighed and said, "No, I'm not. After you walked away... I totally lost it with Terry. I yelled at him, belittled him, and called him an over-privileged underage brat. The thing is... when I was being angry with him, he called me a hypocrite... which he's right about. Because I was having sex with people when I was right around the same age as him." A surprised Sydney then said, "You were?" Sophia looked at Sydney with a confused face. Then Sydney cleared her throat and nervously said, "Of course you were... because you've already told me that... so I know." Sophia sighed and then said, "I think I just got so angry at Terry because he was doing exactly what I did at his age. And those actions resulted in me being heart broken, and worried for weeks at one point I was pregnant, and feeling just so broken inside for years." Sydney looked a bit unsure of what to say, as she slowly said, "I... I'm not sure if I realized how hurt you felt." Sophia looked down as she said, "I never really told you completely how I felt. But... I've been scared for years of repeating the same stupid mistakes I did when I was younger, and even more scared of feeling so broken again."

Sophia then leaned her head back as she said, "Ugggh. Maybe I freaked out like I did at Terry because... he accidentally recently stumbled upon the video of... me and Ned having sex." Sydney's eyes widened as she said, "What!? I... huh? When did..." Sophia covered part of her face with her hands as she said, "A few months ago. We both had work seminars at the same hotel, and... it just kind of happened. I mean it didn't just happen. We did talk a lot about where we were in our lives, and did at one point discuss what would've happened if I got pregnant, even though we used protection. But... he lives on the other side of the country, and we haven't been able to make time to see each other since then, and... Ugggh. I feel like I'm just doing the exact same stupid things I did when I was a teenager. I'm just as stupid as Terry was tonight, and I'm just as stupid as I was when I was his age. I'm just too broken inside." Sydney looked a bit uncertain of what to say for a long moment, but then spoke up and said, "Sophia... you're not like you were when you were younger. Because first off... an angst-ridden teenager always believes they're right, and isn't willing to admit they might be wrong. But you're mature enough to admit your faults, and when you might not be right. But you sound like you've really grown over the last twenty years, and have become more responsible. I mean... would a responsible person be able to own their own home, and still have time to take care of her nephew? You have your entire life so together now."

Then Sophia rolled her eyes and said, "Come on Sydney. You are the one with your life entirely together. You're happily married with two kids. You've got it all." Then Sydney said, "Yeah, well... as I was looking at the slideshow tonight and all of the time stamps, I was... reminded that this world's Sydney... I mean, me... I mean... I was reminded that I got pregnant before I finished college and before I even married Harry. And you saw the slideshow. Those pictures definitely showed that the apartment we were all living in for years was small. We apparently made by, but... did it look like we were ready? But you Sophia... at least if you got pregnant from having sex with Ned, you would've been more prepared to deal with any difficult consequences. And not just the monetary consequences. The way I saw you take charge of the situation with Terry tonight... you're a strong woman when it matters. And I'm sure you now have the emotional maturity to deal with the repercussions of if anything else bad happened between you and Ned. You're strong now Sophia. And the fact that you didn't keel over and just give up on life when you were a teenager, shows you were quite strong then as well. I think all you need to do now is just show yourself that you really are that strong... somehow." Sophia sat silent for a moment. Then Sophia got up and said, "I need to make a call. I'll be right." Then Sophia walked out of the room.

Then once Sophia was gone, Sydney sat for awhile in silence. Then suddenly Sydney's jade stone glowed, and then from it: a holographic image of Cyber Olive appeared. Cyber Olive smiled as she looked at Sydney while saying, "Hey Sydney Prime. How is the mission going?" Sydney sighed and said, "Being an adult is tougher than I realized. I mean... when you're a teenager you think you have everything figured out. But only now I'm starting to realize... adults have way more things to think about, so many extra thoughts clouding their minds, and... there never is an age when you have everything figured out, do you?" Cyber Olive turned her head and said, "Not as far I know." Sydney then looked directly at Cyber Olive as she said, "I'm sorry I'm always mad at you for not completely knowing how this multiverse dimension hopping works. I know you're trying to figure it out... and I know we will with time." Cyber Olive smiled as she said, "We'll keep growing together Sydney Prime... and you'll get home one day."

Then Cyber Olive disappeared, just as Sydney heard her phone beep. Sydney checked her phone, and saw a message on it from Harry that said: "Got someone to keep an eye out on the girls. Will meet you at club at ten." A confused Sydney then said, "Huh?" Then Sophia suddenly came down the stairs wearing a long black coat as she said, "My mom will be here soon to keep an eye on Terry. Then we'll meet Harry, Olive, and Emmy at the club. Don't worry. Harry just texted and said he got someone to watch your girls." A confused Sydney then said, "Yeah, Harry just texted me that too. But... why are we going to a club?" Sophia smiled and said, "Because it's still your birthday, and you deserve to have some fun... and so do I..."

Later that evening: Sydney, Harry, Olive, and Emmy were sitting at a table in a club as a smiling Emmy said, "Hey Syd. Want me to get you some nice wine for your birthday?" A confused looking Sydney then said, "Aren't I too young for wine?" Emmy chuckled and said, "Good one Syd. No big. I'll get you a club soda." Then as Emmy got Sydney her drink, Sydney looked embarrassed as she said, "Right. I'm not that young right now." Then as Emmy handed Sydney her drink, an announcer said, "And now performing for us tonight, is a newly discovered talent... Sophia!" Then slow dance music began to play, as Sophia stepped onto the stage wearing a long red dress. Sophia then stood in front of a tall microphone sitting on the stage, and while standing completely still she sang, "Never know how much I love you. Never know how much I care. When you put your arms around me... I get a fever that's so hard to bear. You give me fever... when you kiss me, fever when you hold me tight. Fever! In the mornin', a fever all through the night..."

Then suddenly there was the sound of a record scratch, and then background music by the artist Nelly began to play, while Sophia tore off her red dress showing she was wearing a pink t-shirt and black booty shorts underneath. Then Sophia started waving her hands up and down as she said, "Come on a little bit of uh, uh. And a little bit of uh, uh. Check a little bit... uh, uh. Just a little bit of... uh, uh." People in the club then began cheering, as Sydney, Olive, and Emmy with wide eyes looked shocked but still smiled, while Sophia turned her body to the side and began shaking her butt with her hands on her hips as she sang, "I was like, good gracious ass is bodacious, uh. Lookin' for the right time to shoot my steam, you know. Lookin' for the right time to flash them keys." Harry meanwhile was covering his eyes slightly, as Sydney kept her eyes wide, while Olive and Emmy looked very excited. Then Sophia began thrusting her hips a bit back and forth as she sang, "Then, um, I'm leavin', please believin', oh. Me and the rest of my heathens. Check it, got it locked at the top of the Four Seasons. Penthouse, roof top, birds I feedin'." Then suddenly Sophia took off her pink t-shirt showing she was wearing a pink bra beneath it, and began twirling her shirt around as she sang, "It's gettin' hot in herre. So take off all your clothes. I am gettin' so hot, I wanna take my clothes off!"

Then Sophia looked at her friends as she said, "Amigas, come up here! Lets get it on!" Then Olive and Emmy jumped up as they both yelled, "YES!" Then a skeptical looking Sydney said, "Uh, I think I'm gonna stay here with my husband." Then Olive and Emmy jumped onto the stage and began singing and dancing with Sophia. Then as Harry glanced at the three woman dancing, Harry said, "Well, Sophia definitely seems... a lot more confidant in herself now. Did you say something to her earlier?" Sydney looking a bit surprised said, "Yeah... I did. I guess I really did make someone's life a little better today." Harry smirked as he leaned towards Sydney and said, "Just like you make my life better every day too." Then Harry closed his eyes and leaned in to kiss Sydney. Sydney looked a bit nervous, but then suddenly she saw herself surrounded by a blue glowing light, and then she saw herself disappearing from the world she was in.

In a blue flash, Sydney appeared in her bed wearing just her underwear while laying on her side, and was right in the middle of kissing Harry who was also laying on his side in just his underwear. Then as the kiss ended, Harry said, "Man. Sex with you tonight was amazing Sydney. But I really should be going." Then Sydney turned towards a mirror in the bedroom she was in, and saw she was now in a version of herself that was in her 20's. Sydney took a deep breath as she said, "Right. I'm in my 20's, so... it's okay that we're having sex." Harry smirked as he said, "Well we can be whatever age you wanna pretend we are, and... oh God." Then Harry took off his underwear, and began to pull off Sydney's underwear, as Sydney nervously remained still in shock as she said, "Umm... Harry, I don't think we should." Then as Harry brought his naked body close to Sydney's now naked body, he said, "Shh. Lets see if we can do it one more time before..." Then suddenly the door to the bedroom opened and Olive stepped in as she said, "Hey Sydney, I..." Then Sydney and Harry froze as they both saw Olive walk in. As Olive looked at Sydney and Harry in their underwear, Olive's face became that of shock and horror as she said, "Sydney!? I... how could you cheat on me with Harry!? I thought you loved me!" Then Olive took a ring off her finger and threw it at Sydney. Then Olive stormed out of the room, while Sydney picked up the ring and said, "Oh boy..."
