"What?" Karen asked as she opened her eyes.
"Livvie isnt here anymore. Shes gone." Chea said.
Karen sat up. "Maybe she got enough courage to go back to her room. Let's not worry about it yet." Karen said going back to sleep.
"I dunno." Chea said. "Seems weird."
Chea thought for a moment. "I didn't check the bathroom." She said. Chea went to the bathroom they had in the room. She was in it once, and it was very nice, even nicer than the bathroom they were in Vegas. Chea opened the door and was slightly taken aback at what she saw. She went over to Karen and woke her up. Only after a few insistant pokes woke her up, Chea brought Karen to the bathroom so she could see what she had seen.
"We have a problem." Chea said.
"I'll say." Livvie said as she sat slumped over on the toliet. She stood up, and Karen was now slightly able to grasp what Chea might have referred to.
"Oh my god." Karen said. Livvie had a few wrinkles under her eyes, her hair starting to turn slightly gray. Smile lines surrounded her mouth and lips. "Oh my god." she repeated without knowing what to say.
"I know." Livvie sighed. "I aged twenty years in just a matter of hours." Livvie said. "And I don't know why."
"I think I have an idea." Karen said. "Being in the real world, so to speak, your real age is catching up with you." Karen sighed.
"What can we do?" Chea said.
"I never had this problem back home." Livvie said. "In the Monkee universe."
"Maybe thats where she has to go." Chea said. "In the real world she would be old, beyond old. Maybe even passed away at this point." Livvie winced at this. "Sorry."
"Its okay. I betray natural time and science by even being alive." Livvie said. "What do we do?"
"The only thing we can do." Karen said. "It might be smart for Livvie to be at home anyway, our rent check is due."
Livvie nodded. "Very well. What do we tell Brianna?"
"She'll understand." Karen nodded. "Let's not forget to tell her this time."
Chea programmed the home universe into her time gadget at pointed it at Livvie. Livvie gave a quick wave and vanished.
Brianna was eating breakfast when she heard a loud rumbling sound. She shook her head.
"What the?" She said. "I had to go through Livvies room before, and now its gone." She said looking all around. The house was getting smaller all of a sudden.
"Oh guys, tell me what the hecks going on now?" Brianna muttered.
"Auntie Brianna!" Brianna heard Catfish call out. "Whats this thing?"
Brianna went around the corner of the living room to find that Catfish had found the cloning machine.
"Don't touch that." Brianna said. "Its bad."
"Okay." Catfish said. He moved away from it, and Brianna breathed a sigh of relief. Then suddenly Catfish turned and went inside the clone machine. A bright light burst from the cloning chamber. Brianna ran to the machine and looked inside it. In Catfishs place there were now several piles of Cosmopolitan magazine.
"This isnt good." Brianna said as she heard the rumble noise for the second time. She turned and ran to where she thought Catfish's "Pee wees playhouse" based room was, and it too was now gone.
"Okay, this isnt good." Brianna got out her cell phone and dialed. She waited a minute but kept getting a out of touch signal. "Darnit!"
