"Megan. Are you okay?" you yell, as you notice the look on her face.

"Yeah... Its just hard to think this caused everything. Mom. Jack's powers... That water is freaking me out."

You have to agree since it still has a pale glow like the one Dr Thompson used, even though you're telling yourself not to look down. Scrambling up the rockface was the easy part. Climbing horizontally towards the rip in reality... and over the magic pool will be much more difficult. megan, seeing you begin your lateral movement, grabbed the rockface is if to follow.

"Its okay' you shout. "I can do this bit alone. This is harder than it looks" you said, breathing hard. Not that you want to say it, this Megan is far less athletic than the one in your world. 'Besides your mom would kill me if I sent you home in a seashell bra."

Megan looked at you, now hanging an arm length away from the rip. She laughed slightly, in a nervous way. You know she is uneasy watching you do all this while she is doing nothing "Mommy and daughter fish... no thanks. Just be careful John. I don't want to see you in a seashell bra either."

You dont' pay much attention, now at the rip. Okay now to plug this you think as you look at rip. So far you've used both hands to hold on. Now you need to use one to take out the alternate universe device from your pocket. You smile, as you pull it out and hit the bottom, closing the rip.
