         Chapter. 2: Return Trip Halted

" Cal, can you figure this one out?" Buster asked.
Calamity paused for a second, like he was unsure how to respond, then pulled out a sign that read," I think so. Give me some time."
They were about to re-enter when the doors flew open. Behind the doors stood a white feathered bird. She had punk cloths on, wore huge combat boots with long sharp studs on them. Heavily studded bracelettes hung from her wrists. Her blond hair was a matted mess, stuck up with hair gel. She also had a rather frightening glare on her face.
" Like, what the hell are you doing outside of school? You know anyone who I see step outside of school is subject to a pounding by me," she growled. Shirley hid behind Babs and Fifi because she recognised who this punk girl was.
" W-w-w-w-what do we do Buster?" Babs asked shaking her co-stars arm.
" Well, I suggest that we calmly... RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! Last one running is a punching bag!" he shouted, and everyone scattered in multiple directions at the same time. This sudden flury of movement momentarily blinded Shirley's double. She lashed out in two directions at once, trying to grab someone or hit them with her studded bracelettes. When she noticed that her query had fled, she uttered an almost inhuman growl," They got away. Just when things where going to get exciting. Well, when I see them again, I'll break their legs so they can't run away again!"

Driven by fear, the cast ran like furry comets up and down the halls of Emca University. They ran in circles, they ran in squares, but neither wanted to stop running.
As Calamity was running down the hall he tripped over something in his way and went flying down the hall and crashed into the lockers at the end of the hall, leaving a impression in the metal. He stayed imprinted in the lockers for a couple seconds before falling to the floor, and landed on his head, causing a spiderweb of cracks to form on the tiles.
" Need help?" asked a voice. Calamity looked up and saw Montana Max looking down at him, his hand extended towards him.
Why should Calamity trust him? Max was the villain, most likely he'd take his hand away and say, "too slow," and laugh. But his hand continued to hover over Calamity until he reached up and grasped his hand. Max then pulled Calamity onto his feet.
" There. Are you okay?" Max asked, dusting off Calamity's shoulder.
Calamity held up a sign that read," Yes. Fine," and he took another look and Max. His hair was actually neatly combed neatly, and, by the grin on his face, his teeth were not crooked. But his cloths were a mess and his face was smudged with dirt. He looked, dare he think this word, cause it wasn't in Max's vocabulary; poor.
" Duh, he looks a bit dumb," said another voice. Calamity looked behind Max and saw something that almost made his jaw fall off, litereally. It was his own double. His double wore a shirt that said," I'm with stupid," with the arrow pointing up to him. His voice also sounded like Runt's but a tad more idiotic.
" Now, Calamity, he's not dumb. He's just alittle confused from his spill," Max kindly corrected.
" You'll have to forgive him, he's a little... slow. If your feeling a little dizzy, go to the nurse's office. You'll feel better. Well, see you around," he added to Calamity before walking away with his double.
" Pretend you never saw that," Calamity's sign read, as he pointed it to the audience. He then ran back to the lab and started trying to figure out what was going on.

Babs rushed around the corner and ran smack into Buster. The two stars layed on the floor for a couple moments, while counting the stars that circled their heads.
" Ouch, Buster! You ran into me!"
" Well, so did you, Babsy," he muttered as he shooed the stars that circled his head.
" In fairness, you both ran into each other," said a voice. Buster and Babs looked around but didn't see anyone around.
" Down here, shrimps," said the voice. The voice belonged to Bookworm, normally a mute toon. He had a varsety jacket on and his glasses were gone.
" Well, are you two going to move or are you going to take up floor space all year?" he asked the two lagomorphs. Buster and Babs got up and parted to allow the small green worm through.
" Thanks, got to get to practice early if I'm going to make the team again this year," Bookworm said as he walked by.
" Shouldn't you be in the library?" asked Babs.
" The library? HA! I got more important things to do that be in the library. Plus, I already got someone there doing my work for me." Than, on que, Sweetie Pie came in and handed Bookworm a stack of papers.
" I got your chemistry paper done, but the math is going to take a bit of time," she said, bowing while she handed the papers to Bookworm.
" Thanks, babe. I'll see you later after practice." And with that the two departed, leaving Buster and Babs speechless.
" I did not just see that," Buster stuttered.
" But I did, and it looks like they are...," Babs started, but she chocked on the last words.
" Boyfriend and girlfriend?" they both said, stunned at what they had just seen.
" LIKE, DID I HEAR THE CRY OF TWO RABBITS I'M GOING TO MURDER, OR SOME JUNK?" bellowed the voice of Shirley's double. At the sound of her, Buster and Babs split up again.

Fifi came around a corner and hid behind a garbage can. As she hid, it felt like something in the garbage can was moving. She carfully peeked over the edge and looked in. She started to shift through some papers, when the contents of the garbage can exploded. Fifi fell back as papers fluttered around as she tried to see who was in the garbage can.
" GO AWAY! GET HAMTON, HE'S THE SLOWEST!!" shouted Plucky from within the garbage can.
" Monsieur Plucky?"
Plucky looked out over the rim and looked at Fifi.
" Oh, it's you. Thought it was someone else," he muttered as he pulled himself out of the garbage can.
" Well, who do vous think I was?"
" The raging monster version of my girlfriend," Plucky groaned, dragging his palm across his face. How could she have forgotten that? Fifi tossed an old apple core back into the trash can. It sounded with a solid THUD which made Plucky do a wild take as he thought it was Shirley's double that made that noise.
" How childish," a voice muttered, causing the two to pause and look at the owner of the voice. Leaning aganst the wall was Gogo, or rather it looked like Gogo. His umbrella was missing, and he wore some proper cloths.
" What's wrong with you, wackko? Your the one who does that all the time," Plucky exclaimed.
" Why would I? Too bizarre and it's too distracting to the eyes," the small pale green dodo muttered snootily.
" Hello, hon," said a voice. The trio looked in the direction of the voice, the voice belonged to Mary Melody. Gogo just grinned, and taking her hand, lead her away.
" Did moi just see zee dodo dating a girl?" Fifi said, watching them disappear.
" Why don't we just get out of here before we get another weird surprise," Plucky muttered as he moved down the hall as he thought he could hear the sound of combat boots with metal studs banging up and down the hall.
Instead he bumped into something solid. He turned and saw he had accidently bumped into Dizzy Devil.
" Pardon me, you really must watch were your going," he said, not babbling or speaking incomporensibly. He then walked past Plucky and Fifi and was gone.
" I just had to open my big beak," Plucky muttered.
" Guys!" said Buster as he poked his head around the corner. His sudden entrence caused Plucky to leap into Fifi's arms. He grinned nervously as he suddenly realized who it was. Fifi dropped the mallard on his back.
" What? Don't you know how to tap someone on the shoulder?" he grouched.
" Cal has figured it out. He's waiting at the lab, hurry," he said before running off to find the others.
The sound of combat boots on the floor made the two turn tail and run for the safty of the lab.

Hamton came around the corner and nearly tripped over Shirley, who was sitting in her lotus state.
" Hey, like watch where your going," she scolded as Hamton broke her concentration.
" Sorry," he said.
Shirley than returned to her silent medatative state. Suddenly, something stopped by her, she opened an eye and saw Fowlmouth standing next to her.
" Get the *$(#* out of the way, *(#)@!#. Your blocking *%*$ traffic," he said rudely.
" Like, why don't you get lost, you little snot?" Shirley snapped at him.
" Oh, sorry. I guess I can always walk around you. I am in no rush," he said as he walked around Shirley and walked away.
" Whoa, mondo bizarro. Did he just, like say something nice, or some junk?" she asked Hamton as Fowlmouth disappeared around the corner.
" I suppose... but doesn't he usually swear when he's mad?"
Suddenly an inhuman roar issued from around the corner, and only one person they knew sounded like that, Shirley's double.
" Like, where do we go!? Where do we hide?" Shirley asked looking around franticly.
" In here." And Hamton dragged Shirley into an empty locker and closed the door tight.
" Like, your squishing me," Shirley muttered.
" Shush," Hamton shushed as the boots marched closer and closer to the locker the two toons hudled in. Hamton looked out the slats of the locker door and watched as heavily studed combat boots came to a stop outside their locker. They paused for a moment, then moved off, slowly getting quieter in the distance.
" Whew, that was close," Hamton signed
" Like, quiet," Shirley whispered as the sound of another pair of foot steps now reapproached the locker. The sound stopped right outside their locker and opened. Buster peered in and said," Save it for your honeymoon, you two."
" We were not making out!" the two shouted at the wisecracking lagomorph.
" Come on. Calamity says he has the answer," said Buster. Shirley and Hamton got out of the locker and followed Buster to the lab.

The toons gathered around the machine and Cal and Buster stood facing the others. They all wanted an answer to what was wrong.
" Quick, Cal. Explain," Buster ushered.
" We moved sideways through time, rather than foreward." He put down this sign and put up another, much bigger sign. It read," Imagine the present, with all it's different possibilities lined up in in a ring, so every side has it's alternate universe across the ring from it. When you move sideways through time, your really going through different universes parrallel to the one you started in. Each universe has subtle differences that add up until you end up at the opposite side of the ring, where you have the complete opposite universe from the one you started from."
" In short, we are on the complete opposite version of our universe," Calamity translated with another sign.
" So, like what does that mean? How do we get back before my alternate self murders us, or some junk?" Shirley asked, looking at the door to the hall.
" I assume we can move sideways in time still, Cal?" Buster asked. Calamity held up a sign," Sure."
" And can we undo the trip? I assume you put it a reverse travel program in the computor?" Calamity tapped the sign to repeat his previous statement.
" Then, let us depart from zis world. There eez no time like ze prezent," sighed Fifi, drapping her tail around Calamity while she said this. Calamity blushed, his cheeks turning light pink.
The lights suddenly flashed off, plunging the room into darkness.
" Hey, who turned out the lights?!" Plucky complained.
Shuffling and running footsteps could be heard, then cast members started to shout out as people standing next to them screamed out and were shoved to the floor.
" Babs!"
" Like, get off m-!"
" Le scream!!"
Then , it was quiet. When the lights finally flickered back on, Calamity, Buster, and Hamton looked around, it was clear that something was wrong. Babs, Shirley, Fifi, and Plucky were gone. The only thing left was a note. It read," If you want to see your friends unharmed, you will turn yourself to us and the machine as well."
Buster looked at the others, and they looked at him with the same expression, neither knew what they could do.
