"I believe" Crayak said in his most smart sounding voice, "That the only way to close this portal is for all of us to jump into it and be transported to another world..." Crayak paused, racking his brain for TV plots, "Then, we will have different periods of time, measured by this remote constructed of Rosey-boy's hair--" "Don't call me ROSEY-BOY!"

"Um...I think we are in a parallel universe?" Crayak announced. "Duh, but which one?" Holli asked, batting her eyelashes "I don't know..."
