"Why  do we have to dress in weird green suits? This is so ugly!" Angela exclaimed. Out of the two sisters Angela is the most fashion forward. And apparently neon green was not in season. 

"It's so that we can use the green screen animations." Philby said.

"I know why, but why can't it be another color? Like regular green and not this shade." Angela snapped back. Philby looked at her and without any words being exchanged, Angela replied "Sorry." Philby just nodded.

"How exactly does a green screen work?" Ethan asked.

"Well-" Philby got interrupted.

"A green screen is just that, a green screen, but without "Chroma Keying" it is not much use. Chroma Keying is the process by which a specific colour element (chroma) is removed from a video scene and replaced (keyed) with a different element. Essentially it's the way video producers remove one background and replace it with another. You will have seen hundreds of examples of this in films, such as the kids cycling across the sky in ET, and in TV, as it's the process used when you see someone presenting the weather in front of a moving map. For us at VirtualStudio.TV this is how we place our presenters within our 3D virtual studios to create Internet Videos and Virtual Events."

"She is exactly like you!" Finn exclaimed.

"Ummm.... English please." Ethan snapped. 

"It animates stuff." Angela snapped back.

After two hours of walking in place and preforming different functions the two successfully had DHIs.

"What do we do know?" Ethan asked.

"We go undercover. Or DHI as we used to say." Finn said looking at Maybeck and Philby. Finn still couldn't believe what was happening. He was taking kids to fight like he and the Keepers did. This was the next generation he thought. He didn't like the thought of that. He thought that they were the first and only generation to have to go through this kind of stuff. He was wrong.

They were soon asleep and crossed over to Magic Kingdom in WDW. They had found the fob and were walking around. They split up, Angela and Finn and Philby with Ethan. So that they could get to know the other ones kid because they really didn't know then that well. They split up. They went to the places where they have encountered OTs before. Finn and Angela to It's a Small World and Ariel's Undersea Adventure, and Philby and Ethan to Cinderella's castle (they only got one because the castle in pretty big). 

On the way to Cinderella's castle Philby saw Maleficent. He rushed to the nearest bush, but couldn't warn Ethan in time. 

"Oh look who we have here!" Maleficent said to her group of friends. "Ethan. The son of that witch you call a fairlie, and that Finn kid."

"Don't call her that!" And with that Ethan sent a blow of wind Maleficent's way. Knocking her back slightly.

"Oh you want to play that way!" The last thing Ethan saw were red fire balls coming his way, and his world turned black. 

(Before Ethan blacked)

Philby didn't know what to do. "I could run to the plaza (which was only 2 feet away) but is to far away." Philby whispered to himself. He saw Finn and Angela running to the plaza, perhaps away from someone. Suddenly he knew what to do. He ran to the plaza, pressed the button on the fob, and saw a fire ball go Ethan's way.

Finn and Angela were strolling along the park and where right in front of Ariel's ride. Angela was already in the ride, but Finn was hesitant to go in. Finn took a deep breath and manned up. As soon as he stepped in he knew something was up.

"Angela?" Finn called. "Angela!" He called more hesitant. Angela was standing in awe, pointing at an octopus figure. Angela, Let's go."

"Last one to the plaza in octopus food." Angela was already running. Ursula behind them.

As soon as he reached the plaza Philby was there, without Ethan. He didn't have enough time to react. Ethan was left behind.
