As Otis floated down in slow motion, in a sparkling gold that never ended, all of a sudden he was seeing images in front of him. Suddenly a song struck his brain too, that Olympia had introduced to him once. He stared in wonder as before him was displayed the moment that they first met.  "The name's Otis," he said properly.  Then it was flash backing to the first time he looked directly at Olympia.

"Your eyes crashin' into my eyes

Was I accidentally falling in love?"

In another dimension, Olympia was experiencing the same thing, as she also remembered that song she loved. Only these memories were from her point of view, and what meant the most to her instead, even if Otis and her both treasured every moment together. Their earlier anger had been silly and crazy, but now they were paying for it more than they ever knew. They should of taken Ms. O's advice more seriously. Olympia listened as her past self was hearing Otis say, "I know that not everything is always perfect and easy the first time. You try your best, and if you need help from someone else, so what? It doesn't make you a bad agent, it makes you a good agent, because you can work with other people. Now, can we please stop talking about feelings?" "Otis," whispered Olympia as tears attacked her eyes. All she wanted to do was hug him right then and there, no matter how uncomfortable it made him.

"Your words

Didn't mean to heal the hurt

Were coincidentally more than enough"

Otis was just then seeing the case where they had to fix an odd problem, where a woman was actually dreaming, so that's why nothing made sense. Then it was showing the case where they selflessly gave up their wish, so two other agents could visit cloud town for the second half of the mission.

"My dreams running into your dreams

It's as if we wished on the same star"

Olympia's face fell as she was witnessing the talent show, where she went onto the stage, and froze up. She couldn't remember at the time what to do, but Otis jumped in and saved the day by singing and dancing with her.

"And my time changing all of your time

It's a butterfly effect on my heart"

"Otis," Olympia repeated from earlier, as the tears threatened to fall again. 

"Olympia," spoke Otis, before they both tumbled into oblivion. 

Soon Olympia was fluttering her eyes open, and she was confused since she was lying on a hard, aqua blue floor. She pushed herself up as she blinked a few times, and looked around. 

"Otis," she asked, standing up. 

As soon as she straightened out her uniform's jacket though, her mind went blank. It was as though she had forgotten what she had gotten up to do, but then she smiled when it hit her. 

"Oh yeah. I was going to go help my partner on some paperwork," she beamed, before bounding off, her auburn ponytail swinging behind her. 

"Hi, Ori," she greeted with a warm smile and wave. 

"Ready to get to work, partner," Ori questioned kindly. 

"Always," she agreed, happily sitting next to him. 

Not only had she been sucked into an alternate universe, but her memory was altered to the differences. She didn't remember Otis. Just then Otis was entering his top secret headquarters, a smirk in place as he adjusted his official uniform. He breathed in deeply as he locked his arms behind his back, closing his eyes for a moment. 

"Ah... I love the smell of odd in the morning," he commented, instantly standing in front of his squad to call out orders. 

Otis was in the same alternate universe, only he was much different as a villain. He didn't remember Olympia. All he knew that it was his goal to conquer Odd Squad, and all Olympia knew that it was Odd Squad's goal to take down one of the worst villains. Odd Todd seemed like nothing compared to Otis's villainous empire. They were both in trouble.
