What happens when you ask a dumb fatso and Miss I-have-it-all prom queen to save the world from collapsing?
The only thing this story misses is zombies. You heard it right, we have it all - UFOs, aliens, time-travel. This is the one-stop Sci-Fi book...
So here's what happened when our heroes heard the two gunshots. Charlotte and Toby screamed as two bullets whizzed past them and tore a wound into Aurelia's chest. Her body started to wither, and her actual age started revealing; she grew ghastly white, her hair became a wisp, she lost her, her face wrinkled like a crumpled paper. She finally looked close to a century old. Then she fell on the floor. A guy wearing full military gear ran from between them, looked at Aurelia and then fired another shot at Aurelia's head. "Mozambique drill." The man said to Charlotte and Toby, by way of explanation, as the room started filling up with more men in military gear. "I'm sorry you had to see this, but we're trained to do it." Charlotte and Toby were still whimpering feverishly. They were too preoccupied with their brush with death to even wonder who that man was, or what was going on. An answer came to them itself. Daniel walked to them from behind, made sure they were okay and briefly explained to them the entire situation, not using too many words. It finally started making sense to both of them. Both of them were relieved that finally someone was there to take the reins from them, someone they could trust, someone who was being completely honest and not expecting them to operate with half-said facts and explanations.

"That's why we need you to find the pocket of space Aurelia has created where she is hiding the morphomatrix. Do you think you can manage that?"
Toby and Charlotte looked at each other and smiled. "Daniel, together – we can manage anything," Charlotte said to Daniel's severe disappointment. Seeing the warmth in their eyes when they looked at each other, something gnawed inside Daniel. But he decided to deal with it later because defeating Aurelia took priority.
He quickly explained to them what they had to do. They didn't have a minute to lose, or the other Aurelias would grow. Toby and Charlotte were supposed to use their space-time powers to follow the device's path that descended from the spaceship the night they had seen the moon. Toby would take them back (not physically, only mentally) and Charlotte was going to help locate the morphomatrix by tailing it (again, only mentally). Toby and Charlotte weaved their hands. Unexplainable energy flowed through them, fusing their powers, and they managed it successfully. After this, they repeated the same exercise to find the Ministry of Loops. For this, they time-travelled back to when they entered the Ministry through Aurelia's bathtub. Once they had pinned the Ministry down, they created several other entry points through which Daniel's men from the intelligence bureau entered to infiltrate the Ministry and detain the members. The raid was successful if they could overlook the fact that the President of the Ministry of Loops, Barack Obama, was nowhere to be seen. He had mysteriously just disappeared. The last he was seen was in his office, as confirmed by his assistant when she was questioned. They ransacked his office, looking desperately for some portal using which he managed to escape but to no avail.
Presently, Charlotte and Toby pulled out Daniel from Aurelia's pocket of space. Daniel took them to a restaurant which delighted Toby to no end.
A King's feast and countless judgmental looks later (Toby was famished – are we surprised?), Daniel told them they could ask him any questions they wanted.
