A/N: This chapter isn't very descriptive, it's mostly just dialogue, as everyone tries to work out what's going on! Thanks for reviewing – it makes me very happy!

"Hey, Naboo! I'm going to the bar – want anything!" Rose shouted over the noise of the band and the screaming of the crowd.

Not bothering to even try talking back, Naboo simply waved his empty bottle at her and Rose smiled before weaving her way over to the bar, nearly tripping as she dodged an overzealous head-banger. When she got there, the queue was huge, so it was a relief when she spotted Howard and Vince leaning against the end of the bar, drinking bottles of beer – which was weird, she thought briefly, because Vince never drank beer.

"I was wondering when you two would emerge," she said, with a sly grin.

Vince blinked at her. "What?"

Rose laughed. "Don't give me that wide-eyed innocent look, mister."

Howard frowned. "Do we... do we know you?"

Rose shook her head. "Whatever. Listen, Naboo and I are over there," she said, pointing at a random place in the crowd, "so if you... oh, actually, I suppose you're going over to see The Human League, aren't you."

Vince's face lit up. "The Human League are here?"

"Naboo?" Howard said, an odd look on his face.

Now Rose was confused. "Okay – what's going on here?"

"Um..." Howard started, looking just as bewildered. "Are you... a fan?"

"Huh? Look, fine, play your little games. I'll see you guys later back at the tent, and you'd better not have left it in a mess." Rose made to join the end of the queue, but Howard put a hand out and stopped her. "Howard! Naboo's waiting for me, I need to get drinks." She shrugged him off, but he latched onto her again. "What!"

"What did you just call me?"

"Never mind that," Vince put in. "Where are we?"

Rose looked like she was about to scream. "Are you trying to be cute? 'Cause it's not working."

Howard put his hands on her shoulders. "No, look – we're being serious. There was this... thing, and now we don't know where we are."

"Howa -"

"Stop calling me that! You do realise that's just my character's name, right? I'm Julian, and this," he said, exasperatedly indicating his friend, "is Noel."

Rose raised her eyebrows. "Oh, I see. This is some weird role-playing game you're doing. Well, don't drag me into it – I don't want to be involved in any kinky thing my brother and his boyfriend have got going on." She walked off, shaking her head and mumbling to herself about how strange they were sometimes.

Julian turned back to Noel, only to find him staring after her. "What are you doing! She might be pretty but she was mental, and you're not available!"

Noel frowned at him. "I'm not looking at her like that, you idiot! It's just... well, don't you think there was something about her? All right, so she might have been saying all those things, but her eyes... I dunno, she seemed genuine."

"Oh, for goodness sake – what do you think this is? We haven't been transported into the Boosh, you know."

Noel grinned at him.

"What? We haven't! And stop looking at me like that. We wrote the Boosh – it doesn't exist!"

"We didn't think there were other worlds, but here we are."

Julian thought for a second. "True, but even before all this happened – the idea of another world was more probable than being sent somewhere that's been made up!"

Noel finished his beer and put the bottle down on the bar. "Come on – let's see if we can find her and her Naboo-a-like."

"Have you gone insane?"

Rose, having more or less pushed her weird encounter with her brother and Vince to the back of her mind, was now jumping up and down with Naboo, dancing about in time to the music. "This is awesome!" she yelled above the noise.

"I know!" Naboo shouted back, grinning like a lunatic.

Rose jumped round when she felt a tap on her shoulder.

"Excuse me..."

"Oh! So you've decided to join us! What happened to The Human League?" She pulled Noel into a one-armed hug and started jumping with him. Noel quickly pulled back, staring wide-eyed at Naboo.

"Mike?"

Naboo ignored him. He hadn't even noticed that they'd turned up, his eyes on the band in front of him.

"Mike!"

He felt someone pulling of the back of his top and turned round. As soon as he caught Noel's eyes, his face fell. "Oh, this is not good."

"What you doin' here, bruv?"

"I'm not..."

Julian was looking between them, his face a mixture of relief and bemusement. Rose, on the other hand, was currently quite worried by the look on Naboo's face.

"What's wrong?"

Naboo grabbed her arm and started pulling her through the crowd. "You two," he said, looking over his shoulder at Julian and Noel. "You'd better come with us."

They walked away from the stage, battling through the throngs of people, past bars and relaxation tents, through the funfair, round the campsite, until, eventually, they came to the edge of the field.

"Naboo, what's going on?" Rose demanded when they'd stopped walking. Naboo didn't look at her, he was staring straight at Noel and Julian.

"You're not from here, are you," he stated, rather than asked.

Julian laughed. "Okay, Mike – I think this joke's gone far enough."

"I'm not called Mike," Naboo said, flatly.

Noel looked at him – really looked at him. "You're not my brother?"

"Naboo!"

He sighed. "Rose, this man here, he's not your brother – and that's not Vince."

"What the hell are you talking about!"

Naboo put his arms out. "All right, everyone calm down. I think I know what's going on here."

Vince swayed in time to Together In Electric Dreams, Howard's arms around him from behind. Right there, at that moment, he was completely content, and he turned in Howard's embrace and smiled up at him.

"Having fun?" Howard asked, placing a kiss on the top of his head.

"Brilliant." Vince turned back round, reaching up a hand behind him to stroke Howard's cheek, the both of them completely unaware to the trouble that was brewing not so far away.

"So, what you're saying is, we've been given some sort of psychic connection with this world? And that's making us write about you, only slightly differently?"

"Slightly?" Julian said, staring at Noel. "Howard's got a sister and he and Vince are bumming each other! And look at Naboo! Baggy jeans and a band t-shirt!"

"Ju – calm down."

"So you understand?" Naboo said, fixing them with a look much like a parent does with a child.

"Yeah," Julian said, running a hand through his hair. "So, how do we get home?"

"Only certain people know about parallel worlds and gateways, and they use that to universe hop. Not a great idea, but not illegal either. The portals are usually well hidden but, unfortunately, this time, it didn't turn out that way. It will open again, but I couldn't tell you when – although it's not advisable to spend more than two weeks in another world; it weakens the line between the universes. You'll have to stay with us until it reappears."

Julian sighed heavily.

"Aw, come on Ju – it won't be that bad, surely?" Noel said, putting a comforting hand on Julian's arm.

"Suppose not. It's just... well, we both have partners, and I have children! What'll happen to them?"

"Relax. When you go back through, you'll arrive back at the same moment you left – no one will know any different."

"Well, I guess that's something."

Rose, who had been very quiet throughout all this, said, "I can't believe my brother and his boyfriend are in a TV show – that's pretty genius," she chuckled, finally taking in and excepting what was going on.

Noel laughed. "Yeah, but they're not... you know. Anyway – formal introductions. I'm Noel Fielding, and my partner in crime here is Julian Barratt."

"Roseanna Moon – you can call me Rose - younger sister and far cooler sibling of Howard – no offence," she said, looking at Julian.

He smiled at her. "Don't worry – not hard, is it?"

"Well, he can't be that bad, can he?" Noel said, winking at his friend. Julian tried to hide a smirk, his lips pursing as he tried not to smile.

Rose grinned. "Wait till you meet your dopplegangers – that's going to be very interesting," she said, thinking of how Howard and Vince were going to react.

Julian turned to Naboo. "How will we know when the portal thing opens again?"

"I've got a device back at the flat. When we get home, I'll fly back here on the carpet and plant it where the opening was. It'll send me a signal when it opens again, but we'll only have twenty-four hours before it closes."

Noel rubbed his hands together. "I suppose we'd better enjoy it while we can then." Then he thought of something. "Just out of interest – how did you know we weren't Vince and Howard?"

Naboo shrugged. "Saw in your eyes, didn't I. That, and your auras are different."

"Oh, right."

"Hang on – if you use money called 'pounds and pennies' in your world, how did you get served at the bar?" asked Rose.

Noel grinned, and Julian rolled his eyes.

"Oh, I see – you've got Vince's charm then."

"Don't even go there," Julian said, but he smiled all the same.
