[Sticks]

During the course of the evening, a glint in the lawn next to the kit car catches Helen's eye. As Bowden is in his cot and Paul is catching up stories with Stuart, Helen goes to investigate.

As she bends down to investigate and picks up a diamond peg like object, a wave of nausia hits her.

After a moment she recovers. But things seem different.

The car they are building, is now a motorboat.

An elderly woman approaches her from the house.

"I thought you were.." she starts

Helen is confused, "You are "

The lady is surprised at Helen's lack of recognition, "I'm Anne, the eleventh housemate, after you were evicted"

"What, I thought it was Penny out first, and it was Josh who came in"

"No , afraid not, Natasha scored more votes than him. I'm surprised they let you out of the hospital after what Big G's friend did to you with that bottle, I hear Big G punched his lights out" Anne told Helen

Helen finds this hard to take in and sits on the grass, to avoid feinting. By now she had a horrible headache.

Suddenly everything freezes, ecept for Josh as he seems to come out from the darkness

"Josh? " she mouths

"I am afraid not, I can not tell you my name. I appear as Josh so you will not be alarmed. You have been a victim of a Quantum Redistributer weapon"

"A what ??" Helen asks, still dazed and confused.

"It is an illegal device, it sends its victims to alternate realities, you are lucky we found you quickly so we have a fix on where you should be"

"Can I go back please" Helen asked as tears welled up in her eyes.

"It will be a while we are working on the re-entry device, it will be a special pogo stick. You must return to your reality, or you will be as the Helen of this reality."

Helen's eyes widen "what happened to her ?"

The Josh like creature turned his head and seemed to be holding a conversation with someone in the darkness. He then turned back to her and in a sad voice told her "She just passed away. A week or so after she was evicted, for some reason she was struck on the head by a bottle and has been in a coma. She never regained consciousness"

Helen was stunned, she never understood alternative universes. Elizabeth had mentioned them before, but it was over her head. She also had the impression that Elizabeth had been struggling to understand it herself.

The Josh figure bent down. "I have little time to maintain a freeze on time in this reality, so I have to brief you on this universe

"You went out first

Penny went up against Stuart the next week, and Stuart narrowly was evicted.

Then Penny went up against Narinder and Penny went

Anne went up against Brian, and Brian walked

Anne went up against Elizabeth and Anne walked

Amma went up against Paul and Amma went

Paul went up against Narinda and Paul Walked

On the Thursday shock eviction, Dean went

Narinda came third, Bubble second, and Elizabeth came first

After Big Brother Paul and Penny tied up, but they are not married yet. There is no Bowden"

"What happens now" Helen Wispered.

"I will go, and return with the pogo stick to take you back to your reality. You must try and interact with these housemates. Tell them nothing"

"Helen are you all right" came the familiar voice of Brian, "you phased out their"

"Oh Brian, it was awful"

"Yes I know, I had no idea you were out the hospital"

"Huh?"

"Anne is fixing up a supper, I bet Paul and Penny are still snoggin in the den, how rude"

Helen could not believe what was happening, why had someone sent her here, how would she ever get back to her Paul. She wanted to cry, but did not dare.

She entered the house, even this seemed different.

The rest of the housemates were surprised to see her, but it was time for a supper of.....
