[Helga is pulling on her pigtail, she shrugs at the camera before saying.]

I woke up this morning and there's a giant frikken tree downstairs. It's cold and someone tells me it's December. Yesterday was June and now it's December and it's not even one of those weird things where the time goes really fast and all that crap.

Just wait til you meet someone from a different timeline.

Re: [PERMAVOICE]

[fortressmommy]

Different what?

[This is going a bit beyond Helga, she's smart for a kid but yeah...what?]

[picklesplz]

Timeline.

[A pause.]

Think of what you were doing before you got here, of the people you met there. Now imagine you meet them here, except they come from your future.

[fortressmommy]

Oh...Oooh!

[That would be seriously weird.]

So...I could meet myself? From the future?

[picklesplz]

Well, yourself, I don't know. But friends and [MINUTE PAUSE YOU DID NOT NOTICE] family? I think so.

It's weird.

[fortressmommy]

Kinda like in Star Wars when Darth Vader reveals he's Luke's father...only if Vader was from ten years in the future?

[picklesplz]

[He has absolutely no idea what the heck you're talking about.]

Exactly.

[fortressmommy]

[Well this clears up a lot of confusion.]

Okay I get ya. So this BREW thing takes people but from any point in time, so I could in the future meet my best friend Phoebe but she's from six months in the past or future. Would I have to avoid telling her things in case it screws up the timeline?

[picklesplz]

...I hadn't thought about that.

[fortressmommy]

It's kind of important! I mean when I get sent back will I remember all of this or will BREW wipe my mind? Am I going to see my friends and feel differently about the geek baits because I've seen things they haven't?

[Helga starts to hyperventilate slightly at the possibility that coming to Death City could change her life forever.]

What if I meet someone from my past and I could change the future but then in the future we're all miserable because I said something to change things. Or we're all turned into giant lizards because I said something.

I DON'T WANT TO BE A GIANT LIZARD!

[picklesplz]

Hmm. Yeah.

[Pause.]

Giant lizard's delicious roasted with pickles, though.

[fortressmommy]

How would I even know that?

[Helga pauses and shudders.]

I may never look at a pickle the same way again, criminey!

[picklesplz]

What? Why? The only right way to look at a pickle is with love and reverence.

[fortressmommy]

At least it's not pork scratchings.

[Pause.]

Pickles are okay, but I'm not too fond of them when you have nothing but pickles to eat for two weeks because your Mom forgot to buy groceries.

[picklesplz]

Bah, they were probably subpar pickles.

[fortressmommy]

Or I just got sick of pickles...what's with the pickle fetish anyway?

[Weird guy.]
