Vanessa tilted her head as the AudioFile finished. She walked over to the trash and was about to put it in, when JATG bursts into her house.

"Heyyyyy!" JATG exclaimed. "What's up pen sista?"

Vanessa turned to her with tired eyes. "Hm?"

JATG shook her head. "You look so tired. How late have you been staying up, girlie?"

"Just 12." Vanessa replied, still dangling the AudioFile above the trash can.

"Wait, what is that?" JATG walked over to Vanessa and snatched the File out of her hand. She put it on the island in the kitchen.

Vanessa panicked and tried to take it again, but she hit the 'Play' button right before.

"No!" Vanessa shouted.

Isaac's voice came out loud and clear from the tiny box.

JATG found a seat and listened. Vanessa just went over to the couch and lay down face-first.

The AudioFile continued playing. Two minutes later, it was finished, and JATG got up and went over to lean on the frame of the couch.

"So...this Isaac guy wants us to help him...and his little friends that are supposedely our opposites...?" She asked.

"Yes, JATG. Exactly." Vanessa spoke, muffled by couch.

"Well then we have to tell the others!" She exclaimed.

"No! No we do not!" Vanessa sat up.

JATG was already on her phone. Vanessa groaned but peeked over at the screen.

'Heyyy guyssss. Meet me and Vanessa in the forest in 30 minutesssss!😁'

She had written. Then hit send.

Vanesaa laughed. "Always so demanding."

JATG shrugged. "If you gotta be, you gotta be."

Vanessa just laughed and shook her head.

Vanessa flicked the sleeve of her blue hoodie and a beetle flew out.

"Gross." She grumbled.

JATG stood nearby. "When do you think everyone will get here?"

"I don't know, but we've only been waiting for four minutes, so..." Vanessa shrugged.

"We're here." a voice whispered.

Vanessa turned her head and JATG glanced past her.

SQ stood at the head of everyone. Most with heads down and phones out.

"Good. Now we wait more I guess." Vanessa signed.

Right as she finished talking, a flicker of golden light burst from a tree. Followed by more.

Soon a hole opened and a head poked out. It smiled. Everyone turned to it with confused looks.

"Well, well, well. It looks like you all followed my directions. My name is Isaac. Vanessa, mind guiding your friends inside to meet their opposites?" he asked.

"Why not? Come on guys." Vanessa signaled with her hand and led everyone into the tree portal.

Once everyone was inside, Isaac cleared his throat.

"Welcome to my world."
