p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Okay , so you really want me to believe you're a time traveler?"/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Yes."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Okay."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Okay?"/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Yeah, sure. Why not? I mean, anything is possible? So why couldn't my dad be a time traveler who got stuck on another earth and couldn't help raise me. Seems about as likely as anything," I said, with a hint of sarcasm in my voice./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Yeah, about that..well, it's not important right now. When and where would you like to go first?"/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I want to see the dimension you and my mum are from."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Ah, I'm not sure your mother would be too pleased about that."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""It's fine, Doctor."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Rose, think about this. You may never see her again."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Never see me again?" I asked, suddenly feeling uneasy./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I want her to be with you. She'll live more of a life with you than she ever would here," my mum replied./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""Then to the other dimension we go," I said excitedly. I was finally doing something with my life./p

p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"I quickly shoved some clothes and other personal belongings that I couldn't leave behind in a bag, and walked back into the sitting room. When I hugged my mum goodbye, it took about 15 minutes to get her to let go. She made me promise to call if I could. We weren't sure how it would work going between different dimensions. /p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""You could always travel with me again Rose..remember how much fun we had?" he said hopefully./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I will never forget the time we shared together. But my time with you was over long ago. It's time for our daughter to travel with you now. All I ask is that she won't have the same fate as me. Don't you ever loose her. Keep her safe until she is ready to go. When she does, always let there be a way for her to contact you. I don't want her to get lost."/p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;""I'll try my best. But you remember how it is. Sometimes accidents happen," he replied, sadly. My mum started crying again as they hugged goodbye for the last time./p
p style="margin: 20px 0px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Trebuchet, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"After what seemed like forever, they released each other. I hugged my mum one last time, and we walked out the door. That was the last time I'd ever see my mum again, and now I was off to another dimension with a strange man I had just met 3 hours ago./p
