While Brady and Tanner talked in the shack, Mack and Lela talked in Mack’s bedroom.

“I love everything here!” Lela was saying as she looked through all the modern items on Mack’s dresser. “The challenging classes. The interesting conversations. The flavored lip gloss! Vanilla kiwi-berry? It’s delicious and keeps my lips moist!”

Lela moved to Mack’s closet next and started trying on clothes.

“Lela, our world isn’t all that great,” Mack said. “There’s finals, and taxes, and global warming. You really had it good back in your world. Your hair’s always perfect. You have a boy who loves you.”

“You have a boy who loves you, too,” Lela pointed out. “But you want more, right? You want to live your life to the fullest. I want more, too.”

Mack paused. Lela had a point. But she couldn’t admit that. She had to convince Lela to go back.

“No,” Mack said. “Being with the right person can actually make life more full. If you both have the same drive, the same passions. Unless he doesn’t respect your passions…and keeps secrets from you…or gets weird when you’re busy.”

Mack flopped down on the bed. “I don’t know! It’s all pretty confusing here—which is why you should go home.”

Lela stepped out of the closet, wearing an outfit of Mack’s. She looked great—and perfectly present-day. The magic necklace glittered around her neck.

She’s becoming part of this world, Mack thought. That’s what happened to me and Brady before we almost disappeared forever!

Mack ran into the hallway and quickly called Brady.

“We have a situation,” she told him. “Meet me on the beach—and bring Tanner!”

The four friends met up a few minutes later. Tanner grinned when he saw Lela.

“Wow, Lela! You look like…future Lela. Groovy!” he said.

“Very groovy!” Brady added.

“No, not groovy at all,” Mack said. “She’s not supposed to look modern. Tanner, smile.”

Tanner obeyed—but there was no ping! this time.

Then she pulled Tanner over to the beach showers and turned them on, dousing him with water.

“Hey!” he cried. His perfect hair was soaked.

“Look! It’s wet!” Mack cried.

“What’s happening?” Tanner asked, panicked, as he felt his wet hair. “My hair feels so squishy! And limp! I don’t like this feeling!”

Mack pulled Brady aside. “Don’t you see? The very essence of who they are is changing. They could get stuck here forever! Or the whole fabric of our reality could split open! We’ve gotta get them back.”

Brady thought. “Let’s just tell them the truth,” he said. “About who they are and where they really came from.”

“But weren’t we worried about what it might do to them?” Mack asked.

“We’re running out of other options,” Brady said.

Mack nodded. She turned to Tanner and Lela and took a deep breath.

“Tanner, Lela—you’re just made-up characters in a movie. You’re not real,” she said.

Brady winced. “Okay, maybe I would have eased into that a little more gently.”

“What? A movie? I don’t understand,” Lela said, her voice shaking. She fidgeted with the necklace.

Mack opened her phone and found an image of the movie poster for Wet Side Story. She showed it to Lela and Tanner.
