Finn sat on a torn chair, the others looking at him. He was still staring at the paint brush.

" What the heck happened?", Maybeck asked glaring at Finn like it was his fault this happened.

" I think a certain green villain let the game come out in the real world.", said Finn.

" So this is what she was planning the whole time? Trap us in this park?", Charlene whispered.

"I don't think so. I think she needs something here."

" Like what?", asked Willa.

" The paintbrush?", asked Philby.

" I don't know. There's nothing special about it.", said Finn. As he was twirling it around in his hands he dropped the brush and it fell to the ground. The tip of the brush landed on the ground and color came to the carpet. It surprised Finn. He picked it up. No paint on the brush. Completely dry.

" Please tell me I wasn't the only one who saw that."

" I did. That's.. weird.", said Jess.

" I wonder...", Finn started to say.

" Don't try it!", said Maybeck.

Too late. Finn went to a torn curtain. He stroked the brush upon the curtain. Part of the curtain was back to normal. The girls gasped. Philby got wide-eyed while Maybeck didn't look very impressed, just annoyed at the situation.

" Maybe Maleficent wants the brush. To rebuild something.", said Philby.

" But why go through all this trouble? Unless this wasn't supposed to happen.", said Finn.

" So then she must've lost control. Or something more powerful in that game took over."

Finn and Amanda exchanged glances.

" We better hope not.", said Amanda.

" Why? What is the villain in this game?", asked Charlene.

" The blot. It like.. destroys everything. Or takes the color out of everything. It does.. well look around you. It does.. this.", said Amanda.

" This seems worse than Chernabog and Maleficent.", said Charlene.

" Well what do we do? How does it get defeated in the game?", asked Willa.

" Um.. We never finished it.", said Finn.

"Of course. Let me guess.. Finn sucks at the game.", said Maybeck.

Finn glared at Maybeck. Amanda nodded at Maybeck and he smirked.

"How about we..." Philby paused. "GOOGLE IT!" He yelled triumphantly. Of course the computer nerd would say that.

" How bout.. WE DON'T!", said Maybeck jealous that he didn't think of it first.

" Um.. If you haven't noticed. We have no computer.", said Jess.

"Darn." Philby muttered, clearly disappointed in himself. He liked googling.

" Well, What do we do? I don't know about you but I soo don't want to be stuck here. But I don't want to go out there in the park.", said Maybeck.

" Then let's get the fob and go.", said Charlene. She looked around. " Where's the fob? It was right here! I just saw it!"

" Ok.. I'm freaked out.", said Willa." I want to get out of here."

" Wait... If the fob's not here..", said Finn." Then.. where are we?"

"You're not suggesting-", Amanda started to say.

" One way to find out." said Finn.

Maybeck groaned." No heroics, Whitman."

" I'm curious." He tried to put the pieces together. " Think about it. Something happened. Maybe, I don't know, maybe somehow the worlds combined. Or maybe When this happened everything got misplaced. I mean look at this place. It's like my room ,but a million times worse."

" Kinda makes sense. Two places come together. I can see how we lose the fob in the process.", said Willa.

"Wait. What about the Pen though?", said Jess.

Everyone grew silent.

" Maybe it's still where we left it.", Willa said.

" But that's in Wayne's apartment! We can't leave here. It's probably dangerous out there.", said Charlene.

" I can go-" , Finn started to say be everyone yelled " NO."

" Come on. I know the game! I have a good chance!", he said.

" But you also SUCK at the game, remember?", Amanda said.

"Does that really matter? That was in the game not real life!"

" Whitman, it's a stupid idea and you know it. We can't risk any of us being captured or killed.", said Maybeck.

" Fine."

" But then again.. We need to see what we're up against.", said Willa.

" No! Not you too!"

" Terry, you know we have to turn this back to normal."

" Then I vote Whitman to risk his life."
" Thanks a lot.", said Finn glaring.

" So it's settled. Finn and Philbo will go-"
" WO.. No. Why am I going out there! And Philbo? Really? That's just lame."

" Because you are the tech dude. That's why you must go."

" Why not you?" Without Maybeck knowing, Finn shook his head telling Philby that he didn't want Maybeck to join in. Probably because he's lazy, Philby thought.

" Fine. I'll go."

" Have fun."
" Shut up.", said Philby and Finn.
