"That's because we're asleep," said Arella, "It must be my dream sensitive powers that helped me to work it out. The realms of dreamworld and reality are reversed in this dimension. When we were awake, everything was a confused stream of insane events, like a dream to us. When we went to sleep, it became solid and tangible and realistic."

"Yes! I can stamp my foot on the roof of Wildstar. I can feel it and hear the noise. Let's ask Butler One to float us down to the clearing."

"That should work," said Arella, "being a robot, he won't be affected because he cannot sleep or dream. He may be having trouble comprehending this dimension though. I don't know."

Ann contacted Butler One on her bracelet communicator and asked the robot to lower Wildstar to the clearing.

"Sit down. It's a safer ride now that gravity is real to us," said Arella.

“We could call this world Earth-D for dreams,” said Wendell, and his suggestion was accepted.

Wildstar came to rest beside an identical Wildstar spaceship in the clearing. Standing on top of Wildstar were two girls. One had a costume like Ann's and the facial features of Ann O’Malley. However, she had the blonde hair of Arella Kayne.

"Hello, I'm Arella O’Malley," she said.

The other girl wore clothes like Arella Kayne's, and had similar features to Arella Kayne's, but she had red hair flowing like Ann O’Malley's. She announced her name as Ann Kayne.

"I'm Ann O’Malley and this is Arella Kayne," said Ann O’Malley.

"You must be from the dimension beyond the warp," said Arella O’Malley, "We were going to explore it, but then you arrived."

"We need to return to our own dimension," said Arella Kayne, "If we flew back in our own Wildstar, would the warp let us through? Would that work?"

"If you got close enough the warp would pull you through," said Ann Kayne, "But then you'll have to close the warp. There is only one way. We should both have the knowledge of Ann & Arella O’Malleys' friends the Jeradds of both dimensions, who are now dead. Our Jeradd left a thought transponder. It has an imperfection in it. After it's been used once, it will disintegrate itself into nothingness, but once will be enough for us."

"I know it too," said Arella Kayne, and we have our own thought transponder. So we each use our transponder to bombard the warp from our own sides at safe distances (to avoid being sucked into it) and the combined effect will close the warp forever. That would put an end to this interesting but dangerous rift linking our two dimensions."

"Yes," said "Arella O’Malley, "Imagine the chaos it could cause. In our dimension the warp's just above the Freedom Fields forest."

"In ours it's in outer space," said Ann O’Malley, "We O’Malleys can operate the transponders, while the Butler One robots hold them firmly in front of the Kaynes' foreheads."

"And the thought energy will pass harmlessly through the hulls of the Wildstars and strike the warp form both sides," said Ann Kayne, "Let's do it."

"There's one more thing," said Arella Kayne, "We'll need to ask Butler One to wake us up after we've passed through the warp, because we'll then be in our dreams in our own dimension, if we're asleep in your real world now."

"Alright," said Arella O’Malley, "We'll order both Butler One robots to wait five minutes after you enter the warp. Then we'll start preparing our transponders, and then in another five minutes, we'll both fire. You'll also have to wake up at the beginning of your second five minutes."
Both crews boarded their Wildstars and the two Butler One robots made radio contact and synchronized their computer watches.

Ann O’Malley's Wildstar was soon drawn back through the warp, and the two familiar adventuresses began to dream, until their Butler One woke them up, tapping their shoulders with his probes.

"We slept while we were standing up," said Ann, "We've got five minutes. I'll get the thought transponder out."

The device was soon prepared, and Arella Kayne awaited Ann's signal.

"That's our second five minutes now!" said Ann.

She pressed the trigger switch and held it down. Arella concentrated all of her thoughts into a single objective: to close the warp. The thought transponder harnessed this desire, and sent a beam of concentrated mental energy through the hull of Wildstar and into the centre of the warp. The entire sensational operation lasted three minutes, and then Butler One reported that the warp had closed and vanished.

Ann released the trigger, and the thought transponder device dissolved into a cloud of dust.

"Ours had an imperfection as well. I can sweep up the dust later," she said.

"There's nothing out there on the monitor screen now, just the usual view of outer space," said Arella.
