Hello all! So a commenter requested that I include some works of Vidya Balan and Karan Johar. Karan is a Bollywood movie producer.. some of my faves by him are "Kal Ho Na Ho, My Name is Khan, Wake Up Sid and Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani. Unfortunately, there isn't any movie produced by him that stars Vidya Balan. Some of my fave movies with her (well, almost all, but I'll narrow it down to a few): Heyy Babyy, Kismat Konnection, No One Killed Jessica and The Dirty Picture.
Also mentioned in this chapter is the name Akira Samar… this is a compiled name of two of the main characters of another fave of mine; Jab Tak Hai Jaan.
So anyways, I hope this clears things up a bit.
Enjoy and let me know what you think!

13:54 Today, Mumbai, India

Karan was scared. Blood-stopping, pore-raising, pants-crapping, scared. It had been two hours since he had pulled the lever and Vidya was still laying there, catatonic. When he had started the machine the entire building had blacked out. Everything seemed to have shut down except for the contraption. It was as if the thing was sucking all the energy out of the building. After a few minutes the generators had kicked in so he was able to get a bit of dim lighting in the room. What concerned him more than the power was Vidya. She wasn't responding to anything. Thank god she was still breathing at least. He had called up a mutual friend of Vidya and himself, Dr. Akira Samar, to make an emergency visit to the set. He remained pacing nervously in front the time-machine, impatiently awaiting the arrival of their dear friend. He didn't know how he was going to explain this if it ever got out. And what about Vidya! What if she remained in this comatose state forever! He would never forgive himself. Karan continued his mental chastisement until the ring of his cell phone broke the spell.
"Hello?" He answered feebly.
"Karan! It's me, Akira. Where are you? I'm at the set but I can't find you." the doctor inquired.
"Come down the first corridor to the left. I'm in 14A. And Akira, hurry!" Karan barked anxiously.
Within a minute Akira had charged on to the set and was gaping at the scene before her.
"Karan! What.. The.. HELL! Why is Vidya strapped on to that ruddy old chair? Is she asleep?"
"Akira I don't know! We got this in today and we were playing around with it. I pulled this lever and she just blanked out, yaar. I tried shaking her, making noises but nothing is waking her. The only thing I didn't do was detach that stupid thing from her head. You have to help me fix this Akira." Karan cried, biting his nails feverishly.
"Shit Karan." She cursed, kneeling down before Vidya and pulling her stethoscope out of her bag. She fitted the earpiece in her ear and placed the cool metal on Vidya's chest, listening for the actress' heartbeat.
The air was silent for a minute before Dr. Samar spoke again.
"Her heart rate is slow but steady. She seems to be... resting. But from her non-responsiveness to anything I'd say she's in some kinda coma."
"Fuck fuck fuck. I can't believe this is happening." Karan panicked.
Removing more medical paraphernalia from her bag, Dr. Samar proceeded to take a complete check of her friend's vitals, feeling the sense of panic rising within herself.

13:55 Yesterday, Univille SD

"So you're telling me you're not Myka?" Artie interrogated.
"That is correct. My name is Vidya Balan. I'm a Bollywood actress."
"Bollywood... As in India?" Pete asked.
"Yes. As in India." Vidya replied, turning Myka's body to face Pete.
"Ok so if you're an Indian actress and you're here in Myka's body, then where is Myka? And how did you get into her body?" Artie continued.
"I believe I can answer that for you Arthur." Helena responded.
All heads, including Myka's, turned to face her.
She smiled with a touch of pride and a hint of sadness before continuing.
"When Christina was killed I kept trying to find ways to reverse what had happened.. I created a time machine to take myself back to the day of the tragedy. I learnt that while I couldn't get myself physically to the time of her murder, I was able to teleport my consciousness into the body of the nurse where she was staying. Unfortunately, despite my efforts, nothing was altered."
"Oh my God! Did your time machine have a couple of armchairs-" Vidya started.
"-matching headpieces, a time dial and a large lever? Aces! That's my machine!" Helena exclaimed excitedly.
"Karan said he was gonna set the time to yesterday. What day is it today?"
"September 20th. On what date did you start the machine?"
"September 21st! I'm in your yesterday!" The actress marveled before continuing, "What's happening to my body now?"
"Well, darling, hopefully whoever pulled that lever is smart enough to leave you strapped in for the duration of the travel. From your current state I'd say your body still is."
"How long is the duration of the travel, Helena?" Artie asked.
"Curious really. I was never able to get it to send me off for a full 24 hours. Every time it would pitch me back to my body after exactly 22 hours and 19 minutes."
"Ok so if this girl's body remains safely attached to your machine, in less than a day everything will go back to normal?" Pete questioned.
"Oh crap." Vidya slumped down in the chair. Everyone turned to look at her.
"Karan, the one who pulled the lever, I know him. He's going to panic. God I hope he doesn't do anything stupid."
"HG, how can we fix this?" Claudia spoke up, in awe once again, at her mentor's genius mind.
"I have an idea. But I'm not sure if it'll work. We have to go to India and at least ensure that her body is safe until their consciousnesses can be restored."
"But Helena" Pete began," if she's in our tomorrow, how exactly do we get there now?"
