A few minutes earlier just as Jon was wishing up the ARD, two figures instantly appeared in the hall.
"Are we here? I can never tell when we arriv..." DTH-Karyn complained.
"SSSSSSSSShhhhh!" DTH-Jon put his fingers to her lips.
He spoke in a whisper.
"We don't want them to hear us." he told her pointing to the door.
Speaking in a whisper herself Karyn replied, "Well I suppose the hall makes a change from your bedroom."
DTH-Jon had his ear to the door. Muffled voices could be heard on the other side.
"Please be quiet I'm trying to listen!"
"You don't have to listen."
"I have to hear when he says 'What if' " DTH-Jon told her growing more frustrated.
"We'll know when that will happen because everything will go, weirrrrrr......" Karyn's voice slowed down and the hall seemed to stretch into infinity in every direction.
Luckily Jon had his hand on the door handle. He pushed down on it and opened the door. Exactly as the other Karyn had described, his bedroom was awash with strange colours and lights. It's dimensions were incredibly distorted. Jon felt very disorientated. It felt like up was down but with all his concentration and willpower, he started scanning with the DTH. It bleeped at a much lower frequency than normal.
"Goooooottt iiiiitttttt...." he shouted affected by the warped reality.
DTH-Karyn replied "Weelllll, lllleeeets ggggggeettttt out of here."
Everything returned to normality as she finished her sentence. She walked into the bedroom, from the hall to take Jon's hand for the hop.
He pushed a button and the DTH made an aggressive bleeping noise.
"That didn't sound good." he said looking at the DTH.
"Are we still here..., here?" she asked.
"Yep, the scan overloaded it, should be working again in a few minutes."
"We don't have a few minutes."
"Good point, new plan, back to the hall." they both turned around and came face to face with the other Karyn.
"What's going on?" she asked
"Oops, I completely forgot about you." DTH-Jon told her a little embarrassed.
"What we going to do with her Jon?" DTH-Karyn asked.
"OK Karyn, we haven't got time to explain right now." he told the other Karyn.
"Explain what?" she asked.
"Please just go lie behind the bed. When we appear again. Look confused."
"That won't be hard." she told him.
"Oh and act like Karyn here," he pointed at DTH-Karyn "is an imposter trying to replace you. Eventually believe us when we try to convince you otherwise."
"Okaaaaay." she told him.
The other Karyn went around the far side of the bed and lay down. DTH-Jon and DTH-Karyn left the room as quickly as possible. Jon shut the door behind him.
More muffled voices could be heard through the door.
"That will be us arriving." Jon whispered to her.
Karyn nodded.
He looked at the DTH. "Okay it's rebooted." he told her. She took his had and the returned back to:
