Otis, Olympia and Oona stood in the lab, sorting through multiple gadgets that needed fixing. Oona was a bit overwhelmed with the overflow of gadget repairs, and since it was sort of a slow day for Otis and Olympia, they decided to drop by the lab and help her out for a while.

They soon came across the toast-inator, which needed repairing since the button was broken. Olympia gave Otis an almost amused look since she knew he was the one that broke it, constantly using it to conjure up plain toast for lunch.

Oona just quickly fixed the gadget right then and there though, since it was such an easy fix. "There, all fixed." she proudly stated.

"Seems like the perfect time for a little snack break." suggested Olympia.

"I'm in." Otis quickly agreed, eager to eat some more of the plain bread.

They swiftly ditched the lab, hurrying off to the break room toting the toast-inator with them.

Oona was about to zap some toast onto the table for them, but Olympia stopped her.

"Wait! We should get the plate-inator too. I'll be right back." Olympia said before dashing off, soon returning with the plate-inator.

She and Oona had then zapped the two gadgets at the same time though, which caused a strange looking portal to appear in mid air.

"What is that?!" Otis shouted in shock.

"Oh no, I just remembered, we're not supposed to use the plate-inator and the toast-inator at the same time! Or else it'll create a vortex to another dimension!" Oona explained. "We should probably get that fixed." she mumbled on the end.

Just then though, the vortex had pulled Olympia into it before closing and completely disappearing.

"Olympia!" Otis and Oona shouted in unison.

"She's stuck in another dimension!" Oona stated the obvious as she freaked out.

"What do we do? How do we get her out? There has to be a way to get her out, right?" Otis frantically questioned.

"There's no gadget for that yet. Um, I guess we'll have to build one." the female scientist replied.

"Then what are we waiting for? Come on." Otis reacted, leading the way back to the lab.

Meanwhile, Olympia was confused as ever, just looking around at what still looked like headquarters. It didn't look like a different dimension. In fact, it looked kinda the same.

"Hello?" she called, wondering if anyone else was in there. But she got no reply except her echo.

She decided to go sit at her desk to try and figure out what was going on, but when she sat down, she noticed that the desk seemed to be made out of.... candy?

And after taking a closer look around the place, she realized that mostly everything was made out of some sort of sweet treat. Even the sandbox was filled with peppermints instead of sand.

Maybe she could have a little fun in this different dimension....

But little did she know, while she was kind of enjoying herself in the sweet wonderland, Otis and Oona were working tirelessly to build a gadget that could get her out of there.

"Is it done?" Otis impatiently asked as he stared at Oona, who was still deep in concentration as she worked.

"Otis, that's the seventh time you've asked me that in two minutes. These things take time you know." came Oona's reply.

Otis sighed, knowing she was right. But he was so worried about Olympia that he couldn't help but be a bit impatient. "I know, sorry. But we don't know what could be happening in that other dimension right now. It could be dangerous, and Olympia's stuck there all alone." he explained before hopping off the lab counter, which he had been sitting on.
