Newton took hold of his head and turned it, trying to tighten it a little better with a struggled expression. He got out of the bed and sat down by where (Name) was sitting. (Name) was then clueless of what to do. They were just sitting there, doing nothing. Awkward silence filled the room. They both heard a buzz, a muffled vibration. (Name) felt something shaking on her leg. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone.
" Huh? I had this the whole time? How do I have Wifi here? Well...I guess this is kids imaginations, they must love wifi. Stupid teens..."

"Hmm? Whats that?"

"Oh...just hang on, let me check something."

(Name) opened the lock screen and saw that Darcy had texted her. 'Nichole acted stupid again, it's about the game. Wherever you are, you should come here quick. There are investigators in your house. I have no clue where your parents went. C'moooon! GET HERE NOW.' Oh god. She then remembered the news report from a couple days ago and the fact the Nichole knew about him. Nichole. Nichole, Nichole, Nichole... Nichole, what have you done?

She looked over at Newton, who was staring down twiddling his thumbs, waiting for her to be finished. "Hey, we have a problem. I have to get back home, stat." Newton felt broken when he heard those words. He didn't know why she said that, and he thought that it was because of him...or something. Why did she need to leave? He looked up and stared into her eyes, trying to get an explanation. She finally spoke,

"It's not because of you, don't worry about that. It's very important. I'm not sure if you can come though, it has something to do with you, and if you are seen there, who knows what will happen."

He sighed in relief, but he also wanted to come. New negativity pressed down on him.
"I suppose if I recalculate where I was sent to and reprogram the teleporter, I could send you back home..."

(Name) heard the sadness in his voice. She could see the blueness of his feelings, and the simplest of all, a frown. Trying to make him feel better, she explained in a cheery tone,

"Don't worry! I will come visit sometime! I guess you could visit me, but now isn't the best time... We will stay in touch, I promise! Please show your positive side to this,"

She gave him a quick tight squeeze hug, making him laugh a little. She was glad that he was in a better mood, even though she was leaving this paradise.
"So, should we get started?"

"W-we?"

"Well...yeah. If that's ok with you. I thought you might like some help. It hurt makes the job easier."

"But of coarse! Two heads are better than one, especially if they are both smart!"

They both giggled and stood up. Newton led the way out of his room and outside, somewhere to where the portal was. There they were, standing directly at where the last adventure ended, and now where this one will. Who knows, another one just might suppose them and start right back up. Newton walked over to where the controls were and sat down. He started pressing a few very colorful buttons, probably to tell him what they mean. (Name) walked over and peeked down, trying to look like she was interested as a sign for him to help her help him. He noticed her standing behind him looking down at the controls, looking a bit confused. She clearly wanted to know how it worked. He started talking as he pointed to the buttons,
"This one programs witch Galaxy you go to. This one programs the world, and this one programs the place on the world. It shows up on this screen so you can see what you are selecting. Pretty simple really...would you like to try it?"

(Name), outstanded by his fine and easy to understand work, accepted this offer. He got up and gestured her to the device. She went over and sat down, seeming a little nervous. What if she messed up? What if she lost respect for how stupid she was? What if, what if, what if, what if...
