“Oh, you mean Nicky?” Isabelle questioned. “He will monitor you from a distance using a new unique program he made. I helped him too.”
“So, are you saying that was your idea?”
“Uh-huh, I figured he might be useful. Outside of battles, he’ll be in look-out mode for me.”
“Where is he, and when will he show up?” Chi-Chi asked.
Before Isabelle could answer, a loud tapping sound came from the windows. Turning their heads, a robotic fly buzzed and tapped the glass.
“What is that and what’s up with those eyes?” Benjamin asked, utterly disgusted by the appearance.
“That must be him, right there,” Isabelle replied. “What’s going on Nicky?”
“I seem to have a bit of trouble controlling the new prototype.” Nicholas’ voice replied; his that came out of the robot. “I’m sure once I get the hang of it, it’ll all go smoothly.”
“Hang on; let me open the window for you.”
“Uh, how about we leave the window closed for the sake of our sanity?” Harry suggested.
“Don’t be ridiculous; how will Nicholas do his part otherwise?” Isabelle walked over to open the windows and let the robot enter.
However, immediately after the fly entered the room, bolts of magic shot straight at it. The robot dodged most of it, but one of its wings got hit and as it fell, and landed on the dresser.

Isabelle turned to Benjamin, who shrugged. The two then looked over to Harry, who took the wand from him and used it on his own.
“Harry, what did you do that for?” Chi-Chi asked.
“K-keep that thing away from me, please!” Harry shouted in panic.
“Hey, never mess with my wand without my permission!” Benjamin exclaimed as he snatched the wand away from the hamster.
“Sorry, Master.”
“Is he at least ok?” Chi-Chi asked.
“Yeah... I’m ok...” Nicholas replied.
Isabelle sighed in relief and looked over at the wreckage. “You know, it’s sad.”
“What is?” Benjamin asked.
“Your powerful device can’t even destroy something like a robot fly. Pathetic, if you ask me.”
“Well, sorry for having a lame excuse of a ‘device’ then! If only, if only, I could go back to my world, get a new sphere, and power up my wand!”
In frustration, Benjamin threw the wand across the room. It hit the wall and shot out a bolt of magic, which bounced all around the room. The magic headed towards Benjamin, and Isabelle ran over to push him out of the way. The beam ricocheted off the window and hit the TV.
The screen now showed a magenta and aqua-green colored swirling image. As everyone got up from the incident, they dusted themselves off, before hearing a strange beeping sound.
“What’s that?” Harry asked.
“Uh, I think it’s coming from that pink thing,” Chi-Chi said, pointing to the computer.
“Oh, that’s my laptop, and it’s magenta.” Isabelle corrected her.
“But why is it acting up?”
“Beats me.” After looking over the laptop, Isabelle gasped. “Guys, check this out. According to this, I think that’s a magical portal you just created inside the TV.”
“Wait, so...” Benjamin started.
“Your wish came true!” Isabelle exclaimed happily, bouncing up and down. “Now you can get your stuff back!”
“Huh?”
“Aren’t you glad I came here to help?”
“But I could have figured that out myself—”
“I can’t wait to check out this new world, too.” Isabelle rushed over and placed her hand on the TV; it went through the screen.
Soon, she had worked her whole body inside the television. Benjamin watched as she disappeared from sight. Looking down at his hands and clenching them, he rushed over and went inside the TV after her. Harry and Chi-Chi looked at each other with worried expressions before they hopped in to follow the two.
