The Mostly-Reconstructed SPD Academy Headquarters, Newtech City, 2023

Bridge, Sky and Z had fully expected to be on a shuttle back to Fandom right now. However, this was not to be...

Dr. Manx had been working on an experimental new wormhole travel method, and the three of them had agreed to be volunteers for the first human trial, since, well, sending people who actually had a reason they needed to go through a wormhole made more sense than finding more volunteers.

Travelling through the wormhole was pretty uneventful, and not strange... not until the three didn't emerge properly from the other side. Their feet did not hit the ground, nor did their luggage, even though they could still clearly see and hear their surroundings. It was then that they spotted each other...as they were now. All three were now sparkling, coloured balls of light. "What the...?!?"

((Yes, that's right, they're now sparkly balls of light. It's canon. Look, our canon is strange. Cowritten with redintraining and bridge_carson. Locked to the other sparkleballs. Er. Except Tinker Bell. *sparkle sparkle*))

"YES. We're SPARKLING BALLS OF LIGHT!" Sky exclaimed. "I don't see how this is in any way a good thing! How are we going to go to class this week? Or go to work? Or... do ANYTHING?!"

"Well, it definitely cuts down on wardrobe expenses," Bridge points out logically. "Really, what I'd like to know is how are we talking when as far as I can tell we don't actually have vocal cords?"

"The magic of Fandom?" Z guessed. This was of course not the answer, but Z didn't know that yet. "Relax," she told Sky. "We can just sparkle to class! And if it's Fandom weird it'll probably be over in a day or so anyway."

"That's some consolation, I guess," Sky grumbled. "But what if it doesn't go away? Are we just going to float around looking like spotlights forever?" As he spoke, he was floating back toward the dorms. I hate this place, I hate this place, I HATE THIS PLACE. He was trying hard not to panic, but, well, for him, when one has suddenly gone from a human being to the "stop" part of a stoplight, it was hard to keep one's cool.

"If it's not just Fandom weirdness, the other explanation is that something went wrong in the wormhole," Bridge points out. "In which case, we contact SPD and Dr. Manx will find a way to fix it," he says reasonably.

"How?" Z asked. "We don't have thumbs." Or fingers. Or hands. Or...anything, really.

"Well, unless this is an island-wide epidemic of sparkliness, our *roommates* should all have thumbs," Bridge points out. "If it is island-wide then that's just proof that it's a Fandom thing and we'll all change back on our own."

"Let's go find somebody, then," said Sky, relieved but still trying very very hard not to panic. He'd resumed floating in a circle, round and round.
