[voice] 5? 1? 5.1?!

This--there's no way--!

[ Please allow her a moment to hyperventilate quietly. This is what happens when you've returned to fairytale lands with an ogre-pulled caravan. ...Okay, time to be strong! ]

I thought this was over, you know? A bad dream I woke up from and not one I'd return to. I mean, sure, there were some fun times here. Mostly bad

Poor mister Simmon, everyone really is a nay-sayer.

[thedoegirl]

[ Gasp! Hdu. ] Excuse me?

He--well--I have a right to be! I think. I mean, I was really enjoying being back at home!

[whitegamon]

You could enjoy yourself here, too, you know. You don't have to spoil it for everyone else.

[thedoegirl]

Spoil? [ Oh, hell to the naw. ]

I don't know where you come from where any of this would be fun, but, um, the things that happen here? Not all of us enjoy it, sorry.

[evil_dwarves]

Sometimes, when I want something really badly, I click my heels three times. Did you try that?

[thedoegirl]

Br-Brittany? Oh, gosh.

I, um, no. No. I haven't tried...that. It usually doesn't work unless your name is Dorothy and you're in the land of Oz. How long have you been here?

[evil_dwarves]

It works for me. I just got here. You could try to time warp, that's how I got here.

[thedoegirl]

[ Long pause. ]

Brittany, I don't think doing the Time Warp got you here. It's just a dance. It probably won't get me out, either. [ After she finds herself seriously considering trying that, though, she sputters. ] No, no, look. Dancing didn't bring anyone here. Rocky Horror is magical in its own little way, but not that magical.

[facing_danger]

You're back!

I was getting worried.

[thedoegirl]

Yeah. It's great, just great. [ If it sounds like she's sulking, it's because she is. ]

Wait. How long has it been since I left? Hasn't it been a while?

[facing_danger]

I was worried I'd never get to see you again. [Chaaarm]

A few days.

[thedoegirl]

[ Small laugh. ] Oh. Well, that's good. That--that you're not worried anymore, I mean. Thanks?

That's it? ...Really?

[whatsacliche]

Wh-- Miss P?!

Where did you go?!

[thedoegirl]

[ She lets out a little startled yelp. ] F-Finn?

I--I was at home. I was also under the impression that I'd be staying there for good, but I guess it's never wise to assume things. Though you'd think that'd be on the safe side of assumptive things...

[whatsacliche]

So-- does that mean you got to see even more of the future?

Ugh, that is such bullcrap.

[thedoegirl]

That's, well, that's one way to put it. I don't know if I'd use that exact word choice, but yes, sure. Trust me, I'd rather you have had the chance to experience the future with me.

Have you been okay, at least?

[onedayaqueen]

--you were able to leave? And then come back? Well, the last bit isn't exactly good, of course, but leaving...

[thedoegirl]

Yes. I wish I could tell you how it happened, but it just...did. In both instances.

I don't know, maybe my karma is out of balance... [ She goes silent, thinking on that. ]

[onedayaqueen]

Oh, no, don't worry about it! At least it's possible. It could happen again!

Karma...?

[thedoegirl]

I hope you're right.

Oh, you know, your balance of good and bad! I know I did something really bad, but I thought I'd already corrected it. Hmm. Maybe I haven't done enough good. Do you need a favor done, maybe? Or want some counseling?
