Edenbrook Blues

...Only Time will Tell

"Oh... This is too cold for my taste..." I looked around, trying to catch a glimpse of any sign of life forms. I know... I've got to protect Dolores at all costs. At that moment, I could feel heat radiating through both me and Dolores. When I tried to transfer myself back to Edenbrook I found myself stuck to where I was. What did Rachel do? Why can't I get out of here?   "Hello!!! Is anyone out there!" Suddenly, a thump landed right in front of me. "Oof!" Maxwell bounced back up from the pile of snow. "What are you doing here?" I asked him, "I was almost ready to tackle you before I knew you didn't have a spear on you!" "Let's just say that whoever that lady was didn't want any witnesses tattling to your friends. She may also have been a bit annoyed when I threatened to run her over with the hospital bed..." "Right, because what better way to take down the wicked witch than a hospital bed." "I know! Unfortunately... She didn't have ruby slippers."

"At this point, I could desperately use some... I can't get us out of here otherwise." "So... Where's Dr. Grumpypus?" "I... have no idea, actually." "I take it we can't get out of here unless we find him?" "Rachel said he won't even remember that we're married... Why do I get the feeling she meant that he won't remember me at all?" "You know what? If you can take down a creepy vampire; you can just as easily get him to remember you. Even I can't forget my wife that easily. And he's a doctor; aren't you supposed to be good at remembering things?" "When you put it that way; it doesn't sound so hopeless. The trick is figuring out where we are going to find him in the land of ice."

"Do you think we can find a talking mammoth?" "Oh sure, because what we really need is a talking sloth slowing us down." "At least we would be protected by a talking tiger with huge teeth." "...From being bombarded with runaway acorns?" "Or singing vultures!" "Ha, you could be my comedic sidekick." "As fun as that sounds; I belong in Crystalasia." "What brought you to Boston?" "I'm not sure... I think I was sucked through this futuristic purple portal thing." "There's a purple portal?! How am I just hearing about this?" "What does it mean?" "Well, I'm not sure, but I think you crossed into a different dimension... Have you ever heard of Whiskey Land?" "Ha, that sounds like something Drake would like." "That's because over here Drake married a girl named Samantha Emerald." "Aww... Does that mean I remain my lonesome single self?" "I'm afraid so!" "I mean part of me should be happy for Drake... but I also can't imagine a life without Christy." "Wait... That's my name!" "You are!" "Does this mean... in your world I married you instead of Ethan?" "I don't know, you don't look like her. Tell me something she would know and we'll test that theory." "Like what?" "It has to be something unique... like what happened when you saw puppies for the first time." "That's easy! I thought they were rats." "You are right!" "This... is going to feel awkward isn't it..." "Maybe a little sad, but Dr. Grumpypus hates me enough as it is... Maybe it would be best if we leave this piece of information out." "Well, that's not possible... He can read my mind better than he can read a chart."

"As long as you protect me from his wrath; I'll be fine." "That I can do! So, you said you had a daughter too? What's her name?" "Rapunzel, she was the result of a lantern festival so it was rather fitting." "Ha, and here Dolores was the result of a reconciliation from a fight back in New Orleans. It may not have seemed as romantic as Lanterns floating in the sky, but it was electrifying. He may seem to be a Dr. Grumpypus, but he does care for me well." "That's all anyone can ask for. Wait...Peacocks still exist in your world, right? Please tell me they didn't become extinct!" "I assure you that they are still alive and kicking! Speaking of extinct... Look there's the mammoths!" "Does this mean we found our ride?" "We don't have any other options! I hope I can be able to get up on one... That seems rather complicated." "You can do anything you put your mind to. If you're anything like my wife you can take on the fiercest of mammoths." "Thanks for the confidence, do you think you can dance your way onto the mammoth's back?" "Any time! Let every mammoth know who reigns the Kingdom of Snow and Ice."
