Finally I have it posted for those of you who have been waiting for it. I am all excited (does a happy dance)
Disclaimer - I cannot lay claim to the characters of tin man, they belong to RHI Entertainment and SCIFI. And even if I could lay claim I guess they would be a line up quite a few miles long. Not to mention the fact that we would have to catch them first. hhhmmmmm. Sorry nevermind.
Enjoy DLN.
Once Glitched Twice Shy
Chapter 1
A few weeks passed after the eclipse as the occupants of the palace settled their minds and hearts as best they could in their current conditions. They began to heal softly, willing the silent tears they never showed to stop so that they could begin to mend their souls. They could do nothing for the land until they came to terms with their own here and now. It was at this time that Princess DG sought an audience with her parents,
"I have to go back to the other side," she stated to the royal parents as they looked at her questioningly.
"We knew that you would be asking about this soon, you have things that need to be dealt with on the Other Side, and you may go of course with our blessing and escorts but may I ask one thing DG," Queen Lavender asked respectfully.
"Of course Mother, you may ask me anything you wish," responded DG sounding every inch the Princess even if she hadn't been raised as one.
"Do you intend to return to life on the other or will you return to your place as the princess of the O.Z.," Lavender asked with as much grace as she could muster. DG looked at her Mother, feeling her heart swell as she realized that Lavender was nervous that she did not wish to remain in the Outer Zone. Afraid that DG wanted to live on the other side as if this whole experience was a nightmare.
"Oh Mom I could never just walk away from the O.Z. I have made so many friends here and there is so much I have to learn, that I want to learn, so much I don't know and things that I have to remember. Unfortunately in order to do that I need to lay my life on the other side to rest. I do not want the few people over there that I love and care about to think that I died. Nor do I want the farmhouse to remain in ruins. It needs fixing and it would weigh on my conscience if I left it like that. It's just very personal to me, but I promise I will return when it is done. I need to become who I was meant to be, this is where I belong but a piece of my heart will always remain in that house as well," explained DG hoping that her Mother and Father would understand her need to right things on the Other Side.
"So be it DG, you shall sojourn to the Other Side on one condition, please take your sister with you. I also assume that your escorts shall be Wyatt Cain, Ambrose, and Mister Raw providing they wish to escort you of course. I am sure that you are all in need of some rest and relaxation away from the Royal trappings of the palace," replied Lavender smiling at her daughter who beamed back at the mention of her friends. It shouldn't have surprised her that the Queen would know.
"Thank you Mother; Father," DG said turning to leave in search of her friends, hoping that they would agree to a little downtime out of the O.Z. She also knew that her friends would enjoy the quiet and peace the tiny farmhouse offered. Hopefully they wouldn't mind helping her rebuild it either.
