World of Disney

Chapter Twenty-Two: Time Zone - 2010

            "So...you two ladies are from Baton Rogue, and you've never seen any frogs like Robin and me there?" Kermit inquired to Joie and Gina.

            Joie shook her head and answered, "Nope...not one. And you've never seen people like Gina and me there either?"

            Robin shook his head also. "Nope."

            "Well, what does that mean?" Scooter asked.

            "It means that the two ladies are from a parallel universe." Bunsen stated. "It's the only reasonable deduction, considering the differences between spots. While Kermit and Robin are aware of a Baton Rouge, Louisiana with members of their family, Joie and Gina are simply familiar with people who can...er...alter their facial appearances drastically."

            Gina frowned. "Well, you were the one who asked for a demonstration."

            "Yes, but I did not expect to need a change of underwear afterward." Bunsen sheepishly uttered.

            "Wow!" Bean exclaimed. "Isn't this amazing? We have people from another time and people from another dimension all under one roof. It's like a great science fiction movie!"

            "Stargate, okay." Pepe muttered.

            Meanwhile, Beaker typed a few keys into the computer and a loud, brief buzzing sound emitted from the Magic Gateway. Once it passed, he meeped to Bunsen, pretending to dust off his hands.

            Bunsen turned to Beaker, seeming a little amazed. "Beaker, you fixed our radiation issue?" His assistant meeped a happy response. "Splendid!"

            "Does that mean ya'll can fix them?" Clifford asked, gesturing to Ciciley, Kimberly, and Meagan, who were still acting as if they were Princess Jasmine, The Mad Hatter, and Cruella De Vil.

            "And also get Joanie back from wherever she is?" Robin added.

            "Well, yes and no." Bunsen answered.

            The others looked very confused, leading Kermit into asking, "Yes and no to which parts?"

            "Yes, I can bring Joanie back; no, I cannot fix your friends... not yet, at least." Bunsen clarified. "I can pinpoint Joanie's current location through the computer. Now that Beaker and I have corrected its functions, finding her and her mother will be much simpler now."

            "Well, she'll be ecstatic to hear that, once we get her back." Kermit said.

            Clifford seemed a little offended of how the older Muppets negated the other situation at hand. "Now, wait a sec! Let's try and focus on the here and now, man! Three of our friends think they're Disney characters, not to mention Tracy is lying on the floor over there, still unconscious! Maybe we can try and focus on all of this for a minute before we..."
