A/N: Nope, you're not imagening things, there is another up date! And another one within the next seven days! Big thank you to CampionSayn for reviewing, and all of you who have me on your author alerts/fav stories and so on.

Vilgax glared at his captors, mind quickly turning on a way of escaping. The Sinuous had him in relatively weak shackles at the back end of the hull, with only three of their species present to keep an eye on him. Testing the only barrier to his escape quietly he waited for the perfect moment to gain his freedom.

Kimberley and Gwen entered the shopping mall when it opened at 9 am the next day, after Kimberley picked Gwen up from the hotel she had stayed at. “If your going to be here for a while, you need more stuff, Clothes, accessories, things to call your own.”

After walking inside the huge building, Gwen let Kimberley guide her towards the first set of elevators and towards a store named ‘Premark’.

“Don’t you have school?” Gwen asked as Kimberley paused at another rack of clothes, her own hands flittering over a cute top.

“I finished two weeks ago for nearly five months.” Kimberley replied, selecting an off pea green top and holding it to Gwen’s chest before putting it back, fingers trailing over the hangars, waiting for Gwen to close her eyes before grabbing the top she had placed back down after seeing the price tag.

“You shouldn’t spend this money on me, it isn’t right – I can’t pay you back.” Kimberley smiled at Gwen, shaking her head at the pre-teen.

“As far as I’m concerned, you’re here because of me, so I’m responsible for you. Until you get back to your own dimension, anything to need I’ll get you.” Looking around the older girl brought her head forward. “I’m your Guardian girly, like it or lump it. And I love to buy my friends things.”

Gwen’s eyes began clouding and something in her heart grew. “Thank you Kimberley – but it isn’t your fault. I chose to follow Vilgax-“

“Who wouldn’t have come here if not for the Dimnitrix, AKA me?” Gwen was silent before choosing to shake her head and try again later. Kimberley grinned, pulled a few tops off the rack, crossed the shop floor to the trousers, and picked two pairs of denims.

Gwen tried to control her breathing but in the end, she huffed out tiredly. Both she and Kimberley sat at the food court with various bags beside them, waiting for the call from Kimberley’s parents to say everyone was going back to the caravan.

The phone – a battered and bashed old Nokia 6288 – buzzed on the table; a message had arrived. ‘Off to the caravan, enjoy the peace – no wild parties! x mum and dad.’

“Let’s go home then.” Kimberley decided and stood up, selecting and placing most of the heavy bags in her hands before waiting for Gwen to get to her feet and get the remaining ones.

Walking quickly they took the escalator downstairs before stopping outside a bookstore. “Sorry Gwen, I just remembered I need to grab a few new books.”

“No problem.” Gwen replied, entering the store and both going in separate directions.

Kimberley went off to the left, towards the Crime Comedy fictions, and Gwen towards the back, eyes focused on a familiar book that she had back some – her magic book. Lifting it gently she quickly noted it was thicker and heavier than her own was – then she noted the price and quickly set it down.

“See anything you like my dear?” A thirty something woman with bright brown hair and dark work clothes asked, coming to a stop beside her.

“Oh, just looking.” Gwen replied, mentally frowning at the weird feeling she was getting from the sales assistant.

“Not many people treat The Book in the way that you did my dear, have you had previous encounters.” The woman continued, her eyes boring into Gwen’s, who felt her mind being pressed on for entry to her memories.

“Kinda.” The half-truth was out before Gwen knew what she was saying. ‘I hope this works – KIMBERLEY!’

A hand came down on the woman’s shoulder and a familiar beep sounded. “Hiya, which way to the cash register?”

“THE WAHHO ARE A SPECIES THAT DEPEND ON THEIR MAGIC AND TELEPATHY TO STEAL THE POWER OF UNSUSPECTING MAGIC CARRIERS.” The Dimnitrix explained.

Kimberley and Gwen’s eyes meet and faster than the eye could see Kimberley transformed into Raumauch, transporting themselves, their belongings and the book into Kimberley’s home.

Gwen’s eyes cut to the rapid moving Kimberley as she checked all the doors and windows were locked, closed and unable to be opened before come to a stop beside her and turning off the Dimnitrix power.

“Are you all right?” Kimberley asked her, and then noted the book in her hands. “How did?”

“It must have been transported with us because I was touching it.” Gwen theorized, looking in the book. “Should we worry about the Wahho tracking us?”

“THE WAHHO CANNOT TRACK BEINGS UNLESS THEY HAVE SOMETHING OF THE BEING AND THEY USE MAGIC.” The Dimnitrix answered. “THEY CAN USE A SPELL TO FIND A GENERAL AREA TO LOOK, BUT NOW THAT I HAVE THEIR SIGNATURE I AM ABLE TO WARN YOU IF YOU THEY ARE IN THE AREA – IF YOU WISH THIS.”

“Yes please!” Kimberley and Gwen replied simultaneously, and then laughed.

Vilgax grinned as he punched unconscious another Sinuous before making his way towards the armory and stocking up on their won weapons to use against them.

Quickly he left to go to the shuttles, where he rapidly escaped in one of the emergency pods.

“Should we go after him?” Someone asked.

“No.” Rafknack replied, eyes following the rapidly disappearing shuttle. “Lady Silver will get him.”

Night had fallen. Kimberley had organized and put all of the clothes into suitcases while playing twenty questions with Gwen, who was looking through the archaic magic tome.

“There are a few good spells in here that would work against Vilgax – and my cousin.” Gwen spoke after a comfortable silence.

“Not that you’re going to use them while Wahho is still a threat, right.” Kimberley replied, looking over her shoulder to remind Gwen of their problem. “Hey maybe your cousin isn’t the trouble maker – so far you’ve got two villains gunning for ya.”

“Please, Ben is more trouble magnet that Harry Potter or Xander Harris!” Gwen disagreed.

“They’re in your dimension too?” Kimberley wondered.

“Yeah, but the ending to WTS was so crappy.”

“WTS?”

“Yeah, Willow the Slayer? Red head?”

“Over here it’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”

“Wow that is so weird!”

“I’ll tell you what’s weird, Alyson Hannigan being the lead!”

“No, she plays Buffy, Sarah Michelle Geller plays Willow.”

“Next thing is your going to tell me James Masters plays-”

“Xander, yeah.”

“No way! Nicolas Brendan plays him!”

“I wonder what else is different. Who’s your president?”

“In USA its Barrack Obama, you?”

“Hillary Clinton.”

Sometime during twilight Vilgax’s escape pod crashed into recently demolished building rubble, with locals passing it off as an aftershock of the inexperienced builders and their boatload of TNT used.

Vilgax’s locator beeped that he was 84 point 7 miles from his target – Gwen Tennyson and the Dimnitrix. Unconsciously, he began to laugh evilly, quickly growing louder and more menacing as the second passed. Fleetingly he had the thought of building up an army then striking, but dismissed it – the current owner of the imitation Omnitrix was female – much more weak and destroyable than the dammed brat and his Plummer grandfather.
