The group had officially made their journey all the way back to the Emerald Hotel again. But they had a few awkward moments. The entire time they were walking around, Yin-Yang(or at least Yin for the moment) was being given numerous looks of concern, confusion, or both. It really managed to make Yin a bit uncomfortable with tagging along with them, but Lightbulb assured him that it would be worth it in the end. Eventually, the group made it back to where the wizard was residing.

"We're finally back! And we got what you wanted now. Plus, we have a new friend who wants something too." Lightbulb said. "I see, and who is this friend?" Asked the wizard, Yin-Yang then stepped up to face him. "It's us, the wicked witches of the east and west." Yin introduced. "Now, before you say anything, I just want to say-" He was then cut off by the wizard. "You do not need to go on, I know very well why you are here, now step back." He commanded. Yin-Yang then stepped back. "Now, Lightbulb, come forward and leave the broom in the front." Lightbulb nodded and quickly ran up, set the broom down and went back to her old position. "Now, we did everything you wanted, can you grant us our wishes? Please?" Lightbulb begged. There was a small moment of silence. "Umm, hello?? Where's our answer??" ScareBrush demanded. "SILENCE! I need more time to decide on this. COME BACK NEXT WEEK!" Everyone then went into shock.

"NEXT WEEK?! But I need to go home now!!" Lightbulb yelled in a stern tone. Tin-Tube then came forward to defend her. "Exactly!! You had lots of time to think of this when we were gone! What's the big deal?!" She yelled. "Yeah! We went through scary ass forests, got attacked by weird raccoons in plastic airplanes, escaped being held hostage and put the two witches back together again! What more could you possibly want?!" Fani-Lion also yelled. They all started to argue about it. Meanwhile, Baxter noticed a strange green curtain in the corner, so he decided to leap out of Lightbulb's basket and crawled up to it.

"DO NOT TALK BACK TO THE GREAT AND POWERFUL VILLE-PHONE! I said come back next week!" Ville-Phone yelled out again. Baxter made it to the curtain and used his claw to reveal whatever was inside.

"You know, if you were so 'great and powerful' you would keep your promises!" Yin said. "You dare to criticize the great Ville-Phone? Ungrateful creatures!" He continued to scold. By then, Baxter had fully pulled the curtain away. Revealing who was really saying all of this nonsense. And it was literally just MePhone from Lightbulb's real world. Just wearing a green trench coat. ScareBrush was the first to notice him and tapped on the other's shoulders to let them know. And once they all looked over, their faces went from anger to complete confusion. Eventually, MePhone turned over to realize his true identity was now exposed. Everyone proceeded to awkwardly stare at him as he quickly grabbed the curtain and closed them again.

"Uhh.. don't pay attention to that guy behind the curtain!" He tried to fool, but Lightbulb stomped over there and uncovered the curtain again. She stared at MePhone with a somewhat mad and confused face.

"Who in the heck are you? Were you the one talking to us this entire time??" Lightbulb demanded to know. The others stood beside her as well. "Oh, well.. I am the great and powerful.. wizard of wonder-ville.(?)" MePhone awkwardly replied. "Really? I don't believe you!" Lightbulb also said. "Well, unfortunately it's true. There really is no other wizard other than me. Haha.." he said again.

"YOU JEEBWEEZER!!" Tin-Tube exclaimed. The others nodded their heads in anger. "Yeah. What she said. You're a pretty bad guy for doing that >:(." Lightbulb exclaimed. "Well, I'm not exactly a bad guy. Far from that even! I'm.. just a really crummy wizard." MePhone told them.

"But what about all those wishes you said you were going to grant?! Was this just a big scam?" ScareBrush demanded to know. "Well now that you mention it, I suppose I can grant all those wishes right now if you guys would like. Even after you found me." MePhone offered. The group looked and immediately agreed. He then lead them to another corner of the room.

~~

"So this is where we're gonna have our wishes granted, or something?" Yin asked. "Yep, but for you and Lightbulb, your wishes will be saved for last." MePhone explained. "Anyways, ScareBrush. You said you wanted to be more terrifying, right?" ScareBrush nodded, saying yes.
"Well, while you were trying to keep off Yang, your bristles actually did burst into flames, scaring him off." MePhone continued. ScareBrush quickly recalled to that moment. "Oh yeah, that's actually a pretty decent surprise for once." They stated. "Definitely. And for that, I give you this certificate of scariness! Just wield it around to let others know." MePhone told them, handing them an ordinary bland certificate. ScareBrush simply stared at it. "That's it? That's all I get??" They asked. "Well, I can also give you this crow repellent too." MePhone pulled out a a spray bottle of said crow repellent and gave it to them as well. "Oh, now we're talking! This is actually great!" ScareBrush said, now being satisfied. MePhone then turned to Tin-Tube, who slightly rolled up towards him more.

"Now for you, you said you wanted to be more durable and respected? Well, for that first wish, the new friends you made along this long journey did treat you with respect, right?" He asked. Tin-Tube nodded. "Yep. They did. For the first time in a long time to be exact." She said with a smile.

"Great. But also putting that aside to make you more liked around Wonder-Ville, what I can also do is find the person who published that fake book about you and get them to admit that it's not true at all, so that way you'll gain back the respect you lost. How's that?" MePhone asked her. Tin-Tube looked and decided to take it. "Sounds fair! But what about my durability? Even though I got fixed up, it's not going to stay like this forever." She elaborated. "Oh yeah that's true. Well, I can give you this right here." MePhone reached into a drawer and pulled out a red bottle of durability liquid. "Whenever you get a scratch on your body, you can always put this on it and it'll magically go away! Plus, it never runs out. So you'll be alright." He then handed it to her as she smiled, accepting her gifts. Now, it was Fani-Lion's turn.

"And for you, you said you would like to be more popular, huh?" MePhone asked him. He nodded an obvious yes. "Well, look in your pocket right now." Fani-Lion thought that was an odd request but followed anyway. He reached into his pocket and felt something hard. He pulled it out and there was just a phone in his hand out of nowhere. And it looked brand new as well. "How'd this get in here?" He asked. "Emerald Hotel Magic. Now, just hand it over here so I can do something really quick." MePhone commanded. Fani-Lion followed his order and gave it to him. MePhone quickly snapped a photo of him and posted it to an online app, allowing the other residents of the hotel to see it.

"Voila. I just made you famous in under a minute." He told him. Fani-Lion took back the phone and looked at the screen. The image that was posted was already getting a mass amount of likes. "Wow! Awesome! So do I get to keep it now?" He asked. "Obviously. It wouldn't really make much sense to just take it." MePhone answered. "This is a good day." Fani-Lion exclaimed. Going to Tin-Tube to show him the photo.

"Now... what about us?" Lightbulb asked with Yin-Yang standing next to her. "Ah, good question. You two and the rest of you! Come with me outside." MePhone ordered. Everyone listened and followed him to the nearby back door. To where a large group of familiar objects that Lightbulb has seen once she arrived her journey were waiting.

"Can't wait to see how this goes!" Lightbulb exclaimed.
