"It's ok, Class. Everything is fine. No need to panic."
"What's happening?
*BANG*
It feels like an earthquake out there. It...it......it's gone."
"What's gone?"
"Just as fast as it came, it went."
"What went?"
"That's just it. I don't know. I don't hear anything."
"Do you think it's safe to go outside now?"
"Kids, wait. You can't go out there, Guardian said. You're still...…..cloaked?"
"Lion, look. It's Elwin."
"And Serenity."
"And Darius?"
"And...….Ruby?"
"What are they doing out here?"
"GRRRR.......GRRRRRRRRRR....RUFF, RUFF.
RUFF, RUFF"
"Oh no. You mean what are we doing out here? Back inside, now. Hurry."
"Mrs. K, they can't see us, remember?"
"But they can see them."
"What do we do? I could uncloak us and...….Ben!!!!!!"
"Jacklyn."
"What's he doing? He killed her."
"He didn't kill her, he's trying to revive her."
"Why does the queen of air need reviving?"
"..............Cause he's not reviving her."
"Come on, Jacklyn. Don't give up now.
*Pow*
Wake up, babygirl. I'm the one to do the sacrifice, not you."
"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR."
"Ummm, Ben. Right now Jacklyn is a balloon, and if she opens her mouth, all the animal's air will float back to them. We need water to wash everything down. Uhhhh…..ummmm….."
"Don't look at me. I still need my conch."
"Reviving pool. But if we could just find the School and get to it before...."
"TIKE!!!!!!! TIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Elwin, did you hear something?"
"TIKE!!!!!!!!!!!! TIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Over here, quick; unless you want to be dog food."
"Stella."
"You...."
"I know, I know. Those are not my Elephants."
"We can discuss who's to blame later. Right now we are in an alternate timeline and need to get back."
"But first, Jacklyn needs the Pool."
".........I don't think we're getting any of either."
"Stephanie, what are you.......where's the Mirror?"
"Not…..in my possession."
"Was it ever?"
"We disobeyed orders from the Guardian. He specifically said he can protect us as long as we stay in the School. Once we step out...….."
"Everything ceases to be, cause we never were."
"And if we never were, we never are. Unless one of you has a Battery or something, I fear we are stuck here."
"The only Battery we have is for the Ship, and…."
"That's not going anywhere."
"What about you? Aren't you a…."
"Repair."
"I can….."
"Jacklyn, close your mouth."
"Wait. No. Maybe she needs to open her mouth.
...Alex, Darius, can you hold onto the mirror and keep it from turning to dust? You're the trees of life."
"Elwin, I told you. We can't do magic."
"You don't need to. Just a little repair, that's all. Jacklyn is going to be doing all the magic."
"I am?"
"She is?"
"There is no way your ship is going to pass through my little Mirror, but...…individually we could use the power of your air to wisk us back."
"Absolutely not."
"We don't have a choice, Alex. Either she goes or we all do. It's only a matter of time. If the bunny doesn't catch us because we are not where we ought, then the Guardians sand statues will. I can't even feel my toes anymore, Alex. My....toes."
"I knew we shouldn't have helped them."
"Lion!!!"
"What?"
"Everybody hold hands."
"Even Ben?"
"Even Ben.
On three, I will say Tyke, and you will hold Jacklyn's mouth open. As they say, 'Air can pass through anything just like water'. Aim it at the mirror and we go home free."
(Well, that's not how I planned her to go out. Did any of you?)
