Dorrie: Book Two - a Sofia the First fanfic

I now give you Chapter 9 of "Dorrie: Book Two" which starts after Chapter 8 ended.

Chapter 9: A Stormy Night (Part Two)

In the kitchen

"Who are you?" Chef Andre asked Daisy, curious. "You are not part of the staff".

"I'm Daisy Mason" Daisy answered. "I'm here to help take back the castle. But, I'm going to need to lay low here in the kitchen for a little while".

"Then I take it that more help is on the way?" Chef Andre wanted to know.

"Yes" Daisy answered as the kitchen help smiled in appreciation. "However, lets keep that between us. No use in tipping off those two ogres out in the hall".

"Of course" Chef Andre agreed, before turning to the kitchen help. "We've better get started cooking for those who have taken over the castle. But before we can do that, we need to get the stove fired up".

"I'll take care of the stove" Daisy offered as she picked up some cut wood, and started placing it inside the wood burning area of the stove.

"That's an impressive job you're doing" Chef Andre remarked to Daisy, pleased. "You obviously know your way around a professional kitchen".

"Getting the stove ready was part of my duties as an assistant cook" Daisy smiled. "I use to work for a wealthy family".

"All we need to do now is to figure out what to feed our guests" Chef Andre said.

"If I may?" Daisy started. "Just feed them common food. Clods like that aren't going to be able to appreciate fine cuisine".

"Point well taken" Chef Andre chuckled.

Elsewhere at the castle

At a point outside of the castle, Scarlett, Colette, Hematite, Cordelia, and Maleficent stood outside the wall which surrounded the castle. Hematite then brought out a hammer, and carefully tried to chip away at the wall.

"What in Cinnibar are you doing!?" Scarlett exclaimed in a whisper.

"We're coming in where no one is expecting it" Hematite explained.

"No, you're not! Even if you got through the concrete, there's three inches of steel! You won't even make a dent!" Scarlett pointed out.

"Are you sure?" Hematite asked as she stopped.

"Trust me" Scarlett answered. "I founded Cinnibar a long time ago. I know how this kind of stuff works".

"I suggest we rendezvous with the others" Maleficent suggested. "Maybe plan our next course of action".

At that same moment, in the kitchen, Daisy heard an attention signal coming from inside her head, thanks to a small implant located near her ear. It was something implanted in all current Voyagers called a telecommunicator. In a few moments, the attention signal died down, and was replaced by a voice message only audible inside Daisy's mind.

"This is Voyager time ship Greenwich calling Daisy Mason" a man's voice started. "We are in orbit in this time zone, and are monitoring the situation. How can we be of assistance?".

Dairy touched a small bump near her ear, and concentrated. She then used her mind to send a reply which nobody in the kitchen could hear.

"This is Daisy Mason" Daisy responded. "I need you to scan for a high concentration of magical energy centered in one spot here in the castle. Report back when you've located the spot".

"Understood" the man's voice said in Daisy's mind.

At Miss Elodie's manor house

The girls had been settled into various guest rooms. Dorrie couldn't sleep, so she decided to walk the halls of the manor for a little while. As she rounded a corner, Dorrie saw Abby looking out a window at the night sky. Abby was obviously worried about her parents who were still in the castle. Dorrie then started singing in a soft voice.

"It's been a long road, getting from there to here. It's been a long time. But our time is finally near".

"And we will see our dreams come alive at last. We will touch the sky. And they're not gonna hold us down no more. No, their not gonna change our minds".

"Cause we've got faith of the heart. We're going where our hearts will take us. We've got faith to believe, we can do anything".

"We've got strength of the soul. No one's gonna bend or break us. We can reach any goal".

"We've got faith. We got. We got. We got. We've got faith. Faith of the heart".

Dorrie walked over and held Abby in a comforting way.

"Everything is going to be all right" Dorrie reassured Abby. "You'll see".

Unknown to Dorrie and Abby, Miss Elodie and Candice were watching from a distance, and smiled at the tender scene.

Back at the castle

Scarlett, Colette, Cordelia, Hematite, Maleficent, Violet, Doctor Anna Li Cook, Lucinda's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Starwell, and Eric Androcasia had managed to find a way into the castle without being detected. Each of them was wearing a bracelet with a communicator stone. The bracelets were supplied by Scarlett. Daisy had also been given such a bracelet before she entered the castle.

As the team hid out in an empty room, Scarlett used her bracelet.

"Daisy Mason?" Scarlett asked. "Are you receiving me?".

"Yes" Daisy's voice came from Scarlett's bracelet. "I've successfully entered the castle, and I'm posing as a member of the kitchen staff who have been taken to the kitchen".

"Nicely done" Scarlett said in glee. "Do you have any idea where the bomb is?".

"I'm still working on that" Daisy reported. "I'll get back to you". Daisy then closed the transmission.

"I guess we just stand here and wait" Colette said, a bit annoyed, since she wanted to get into battle.

"Daisy is good at what she does" Violet reassured Colette. "She'll come through for us".

A while later

As Daisy helped out in the kitchen, an attention signal came from inside her mind, followed by a voice message inside Daisy's mind.

"This is Greenwich to Daisy Mason" a male voice started. "We've located a high concentration of magical energy just off of the throne room. We've scanned it, and it is a bomb. Standing by for your orders".

Dairy touched the small bump near her ear, and concentrated. She then sent a message using her mind.

"This is Mason" Daisy responded. "If you can, beam the bomb out of the castle, and send it to a safe point away from the castle. Once that is done, blow it up".

"We can do that" the man acknowledged.

Just off of the throne room, a few ogres were standing guard near the bomb when it suddenly disappeared in a beam of light.

"What?" one of the ogres said, puzzled.

A few moments passed, and a loud explosion came a mile away from the castle.

"This is Greenwich" the man said in Daisy's mind. "The bomb has been beamed to a safe area ... and destroyed".

"Acknowledged" Daisy responded, using her mind. Daisy then raised the communicator bracelet that Scarlett had given her, and talked into it. "The bomb is no longer a threat to the castle" Daisy reported. "It's a go! Take 'em down!".

"What's going on?!" Chef Andre asked, puzzled.

"The castle is being retaken" Daisy answered. "Somebody, open the kitchen door".

As one of the kitchen maids opened the door which led out into the hall, Daisy pulled out what appeared to be a wand. It was in fact a laser weapon made to look like a wand so Daisy could better blend in at Enchancia Castle.

"Hey! What's going on here?!" one of the two ogres in the hall shouted.

Daisy pointed her wand weapon at the ogre, and fired. The ogre fell to the floor as the other ogre lunged forward. Daisy fired her wand weapon at the second ogre, causing the second ogre to fall to the floor as well.

"Run!" Daisy ordered Chef Andre and the kitchen help. "Get to safety!".

As Chef Andre and the kitchen help ran from the kitchen, Daisy made her way to the castle dungeon. In a few minutes, Daisy arrived at the door leading to the dungeon. Daisy then brought out her Omni, and activated a button which froze time around her for 60 seconds. She then entered the dungeon, brought out her wand weapon, and aimed at two monsters who were guarding the cell where King Roland, Queen Miranda, Danika, Jeremiah, and Cedric were being held. When time unfroze around Daisy, she fired on the two monsters, sending them falling to the ground.

"Who are you?!" Roland asked Daisy, taken off guard.

"I'm Daisy Mason" Daisy responded. "The castle is being retaken. If you'll stand back, I'll blast this cell door open".

Daisy raised her wand weapon, and fired on the cell door. The lock on the cell door then sprang open, and those inside the cell opened the door and walked out.

"Have you seen my daughter, Princess Sofia, and her friend, Princess Faith?" Miranda asked Daisy, worried.

"The two of them are safe in the village, ma'am" Daisy reassured Miranda.

Elsewhere in the castle, Scarlett, Colette, Cordelia, Hematite, Violet, Doctor Anna Li Cook, Lucinda's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Starwell, and Eric Androcasia were busy battling Constance and Zahida's forces. In the courtyard, Maleficent had transformed herself into a dragon, and was busy shooting fire at enemy forces there.

Busted!

In a room in the castle, Constance and Zahida were having a heated conversation.

"We have to get out of here!" Zahida exclaimed. "Our forces are out waned, and Maleficent is out there having at it with some of our forces. We don't stand a chance!".

"Damn it!" Constance barked. "Our bomb goes missing, and now this! This was more trouble than it was worth!".

As Constance and Zahida were talking, Sir Oliver mounted his horse, and quickly fled the castle into the dark and rainy night. Constance and Zahida spotted Oliver leaving as they looked out of a window.

"Well! That's just great!" Constance spat in disgust.

"Hey, sis" said a voice behind Constance as Cordelia stood behind her, twirling her wand between her fingers, glaring

"Did you really think you could take us alone?" Constance mocked on behalf of herself and Zahida.

"Who said she's alone?" Hematite announced as she entered the room. "Your influence over Jason has brought shame to House Blackstone".

"It's payback time!" Cordelia exclaimed.

Constance and Zahida waved their wands over their heads, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"Their not getting away that easily!" Cordelia said in anger. "Take my arm".

Hematite took Cordelia's arm as Cordelia raised her wand, and said "Followaeria". Cordelia and Hematite then disappeared in a puff of smoke, and reappeared on the castle grounds behind the castle. Cordelia and Hematite looked to see Constance and Zahida standing there.

"Where you go, we can follow" Cordelia said to Constance and Zahida.

Constance started running away as Cordelia followed, leaving Hematite and Zahida to face each other. Hematite ducked behind a rock as she and Zahida fired spells at one another relentlessly.

"There's gotta be some trump card I've got" Hematite whispered to herself and then she looked up and noticed the full moon shining in the sky. "Duh! I'm an advanced witch!". Hematite then closed her eyes tightly as she began to concentrate. Soon enough, time began to slow down around her as the spells started moving in slow motion and she then smirked slightly as she raised her wand at Zahida. "Freezario!". A blast of blue light burst from the tip of her wand and hit Zahida square in the chest as time resumed to normal.

Zahida's eyes darted around all over the place as she stood helpless while Hematite whistled a tune as she walked over to Zahida, gently took Zahida's wand out of Zahida's hand, and broke it in two.

"Oops" Hematite mocked

"That's not fair!" Zahida shouted.

"Make your excuses later ... in Blackthorn Prison for Magical Criminals" Hematite announced.

Meanwhile, Constance ran into the castle, with Cordelia in hot pursuit. As Cordelia ran after Constance, Violet was briefing King Roland, Queen Miranda, Danika, Jeremiah, Cedric, and Daisy about what was going on.

"The castle has been retaken" Violet announced. "Everything should be back to normal before you know it".

At that moment, Constance burst into the room where Violet, Roland, Miranda, Danika, Jeremiah, Cedric, and Daisy were.

"Well, well, well" Constance sneered at the group as she raised her wand. "This night might not be a total loss after all".

"You're beaten, Constance!" Miranda pointed out. "Do yourself a favor and surrender".

"That'll be the day!" Constance barked as she pointed her wand at Miranda, and started firing.

"No!" Violet shouted as she jumped in front of Miranda, taking the blast meant for Miranda.

"Violet!" Miranda screamed out in shock as Violet fell to the floor.

At that moment, Cordelia raced into the room, raised her wand, and fired at Constance who fell to the floor unconscious as a result of the blast. Cordelia then picked up Constance's wand from the floor, and raced off to get help for Violet.

In the village

A commotion woke up a lot of people in the village. Sir Oliver and his horse had gotten lost in the village, and were trying to find their way out of the village, making a lot of noise in the process. In a few minutes, Sir Oliver and his horse approached Miss Elodie's manor house. As they approached, they noticed that Dorrie, Candice, Abby, Sofia, Faith, Lucinda, and the other girls were waiting with their wands drawn.

"Hold it right there!" Dorrie barked at Sir Oliver.

"Don't even think of trying to make a run for it!" Candice yelled at Sir Oliver.

As the girls faced down Sir Oliver, some guards who protected the village ran up, and dragged Sir Oliver off of his horse.

"Blast!" Sir Oliver exclaimed in defeat.

"How about Curses! Foiled again!" Sofia mocked at Sir Oliver.

"You haven't heard the last of me!" Sir Oliver yelled as he was dragged away by some of the village guards. Another guard then walked up to Dorrie and Candice.

"Lady Dorrie, Lady Candice" the guard started. "The castle has been retaken, but I'm afraid your mother has been injured. The two of you had better get back to the castle".

As Dorrie and Candice started waving their wands over their heads, Sofia, Faith, and Abby raced up.

"We're coming with you" Sofia announced.

Dorrie and Candice nodded their heads in agreement. Since Sofia and Faith were still learning how to travel by using magic, Dorrie took Sofia's arm, and Candice took Faith's arm. Dorrie and Candice then waved their wands over their heads, and they, Sofia, and Faith disappeared in a puff of smoke. Abby then waved her wand over her head, and disappeared in a puff of smoke as well.

"Well, girls" Miss Elodie said to Lucinda and the other girls who remained. "We've better get back to bed".

Returning to the castle

Dorrie, Sofia, Candice, Faith, and Abby appeared in a puff of smoke inside the castle. Miranda was nearby, and saw the girls arrive.

"Dorrie, Candice" Miranda started. "Your mother is resting in her room. She'll want to see the two of you. Daisy is with her".

As Dorrie and Candice raced off to Violet's room, Miranda came over to Sofia.

"Thank God you're safe" Miranda said as she hugged Sofia, as Faith and Abby smiled at the touching scene.

"Is my mom around?" Faith asked Miranda.

"She's inspecting the castle for damage" Miranda answered. "The last time I saw her, she was near the sitting room".

As Faith walked off to find Scarlett, Abby walked up to Miranda.

"How are my parents, Queen Miranda?" Abby asked, hopeful.

"Why don't you ask them yourself?" Miranda smiled at Abby.

Abby turned around to see her parents standing there.

"Mom! Dad!" Abby happily exclaimed as she rushed over and hugged them.

"You did good" Abby's father smiled at her.

"We're so proud of you" Abby's mother happily added.

In Violet's room, Violet way laying in bed with Daisy sitting beside her on a chair.

"Well, I suppose it could have been worse" Violet remarked. "Thankfully, it was only a shoulder wound".

"It was a good thing Lucinda's father is a magical healer" Daisy said, relieved. "He was able to heal the wound, but he says you'll be stiff for a few days".

"At least I'm on the mend" Violet acknowledged.

At that moment, Dorrie and Candice raced in.

"Mom?" Dorrie asked, worried.

"You okay?" Candice asked, equally worried.

"Don't worry, my dear girls" Violet reassured Dorrie and Candice. "I'm going to be fine. Just a shoulder wound that Lucinda's father already healed up. I'll just be stiff for a few days".

"Thank God!" Dorrie and Candice exclaimed in relief.

As Violet, Dorrie, and Candice talked, Daisy smiled at the touching scene. As a Voyager, she knew a little about what was coming up in Violet's future. When Prince Frederick would become King of Ornburgh, and Dorrie his Queen, the new royal steward of Ornburgh would be ... Violet. It would be a case of a Voyager actually becoming a part of history itself. It would be one of the finest points in Ornburgh's history. And Violet protecting Queen Miranda from Constance was the act that set that future into motion.

"Hey, you" Violet smiled at Daisy. "You look happy".

"Happy that everything worked out well" Daisy smiled back as she brought out her Omni. "I should be leaving. This mission is complete".

"It was nice seeing you again, Daisy" Violet happily said. "Don't be a stranger".

"Never" Daisy reassured Violet.

"So, what's your next assignment?" Violet asked Daisy, curious.

"1937 New Jersey" Daisy answered. "The Hindenburg time line has been altered to a degree. It blew up, but not in the way it originally did. Voyager Command wants to find out what happened".

"Safe journey" Violet wished Daisy.

Daisy pressed a button on her Omni, and disappeared. After passing through a time vortex, Daisy found herself back at ... Enchancia Castle.

"What the?!" Daisy thought to herself in shock, before checking over her Omni. "Oh! I set it to randomize mode. I'm three years in the future".

"Daisy?" a young woman's voice came from behind Daisy.

Daisy looked to see a fifteen-year-old Candice standing behind her.

"Candice" Daisy smiled. "It's nice to see you ... again".

"And it's nice to see you" Candice smiled back as Baileywick walked up.

"Danika and her daughter, Dorrie Lucinda, will be arriving shortly" Baileywick announced to Candice. "You asked to be reminded".

"Thank you, Mr. Baileywick" Candice acknowledged. "You remember Miss Mason, don't you?".

"Of course" Baileywick remembered. "That nasty business with Constance, Zahida, and Sir Oliver. You helped take back the castle. We will be forever in your debt".

"It was my pleasure to help" Daisy admitted as Danika walked up with three-year-old Dorrie Lucinda.

"Miss Mason" Danika smiled as she spotted Daisy. "A pleasure to see you again".

"And you as well" Daisy smiled back.

"Candice" Danika started, "it was kind of you to make time today to start training Dorrie Lucinda in the defensive arts. While you're doing that, I can pop in and see the local doctor. I think I'm expecting ... again".

"Congratulations, Danika" Candice happily acknowledged, before turning to Baileywick. "If you'll take Dorrie Lucinda to the castle gym, I'll be there shortly".

"Come with me, little lady" Baileywick smiled as he led Dorrie Lucinda to the castle gym.

"I've best be off" Danika said as she walked off to see the local doctor.

"I've best be off as well" Daisy announced. "Me being here was an accident".

"Let me guess?" Candice grinned. "Randomize mode?".

"How did you know?" Daisy asked.

"Mom took me and Dorrie on a time trip when her Omni was accidentally set on randomize mode" Candice answered. "We wanted to go to the 1901 Pan American Exposition. Instead, we wound up at Woodstock in 1969. I've got to admit, that was one heck of a party!".

"That it was" Daisy recalled, having traveled there once herself. Daisy then opened her Omni, and carefully adjusted the dials.

"Until we meet again" Candice smiled at Daisy.

"See you out there" Daisy smiled back as she pressed a button on her Omni, and disappeared.

Candice spend the remainder of the day training Dorrie Lucinda in the defensive arts. During the training session, Jeremiah had showed up. When Danika returned from seeing the doctor, she found Candice, Jeremiah, and Dorrie Lucinda happily talking to each other while taking a break.

"I have wonderful news" Danika announced. "The doctor confirmed that I'm pregnant".

"That's wonderful, Nika" Jeremiah smiled as he gently hugged Danika. Jeremiah then used his ability to see into the future. "We're going to have a baby boy. His name will be Joseph Samuel Cook".

"Hear that, sweetheart?" Danika smiled at Dorrie Lucinda. "You're going to have a baby brother".

"Yea!" Dorrie Lucinda happily cheered.

Back in the present

It was the morning after Enchancia Castle had been retaken. Violet had wanted to stretch her legs, and twelve-year-old Dorrie, and twelve-year-old Candice, were helping her.

"I'm blessed having two fine girls" Violet smiled at Dorrie and Candice.

At that moment, Queen Miranda walked up with Sofia.

"It's nice to see you up and about" Miranda smiled at Violet.

"I'm still a bit stiff, and a bit weak, milady" Violet admitted. "But I'll be back to full strength before you know it".

"You just take your time" Miranda gently said to Violet, before turning to Sofia, Dorrie, and Candice. "Chef Andre is making apple turnovers. He said he'd put a few aside for you girls".

"I'm in" Sofia smiled. "Dorrie? Candice?"

"You girls go ahead" Violet said to Dorrie and Candice. "I'll be fine".

As Sofia, Dorrie, and Candice raced off, Miranda and Violet smiled at the happy sight.

"Here, let me help you, Violet" Miranda offered.

"You're too kind, milady" Violet smiled. "I'll be okay".

"Let me help" Miranda requested. "You took a shot meant for me. Helping you is the least I can do".

"Thank you, milady" Violet said, appreciative.

In a few minutes, Miranda and Violet found themselves in Miranda's study. As the two sat down, Miranda looked at Violet.

"I'm concerned about the welfare of my children after last night's incident" Miranda confessed to Violet. "That was a very close call last night. I thank God that Amber and James were away with friends".

"Thank God for that, milady" Violet agreed.

"I sometimes worry that my children might not be able to handle difficult situations" Miranda admitted.

"It's a mother's job to worry" Violet pointed out. "But I can assure you that Princess Sofia, Princess Amber, and Prince James are stronger than you think".

"I wish I could be as sure of that as you are" Miranda commented.

"You know I'm a Voyager, milady" Violet started. "When I'm back to full strength, I'll be more than happy to take you back in time and let you see for yourself how strong your children are".

"You'd do that?" Miranda asked, taken off guard.

"To put your mind at ease, yes" Violet answered.

Elsewhere in the castle, King Roland was seeing off Scarlett, Colette, and Faith.

"Thank you for your help in taking back the castle" Roland gratefully said to Scarlett and Colette.

"Anytime, Roland" Scarlett smiled.

"We're always happy to help" Colette happily added.

"And it's a good thing that Constance and Zahida are now safely locked up in the Blackthorn Prison for Magical Criminals" Faith added.

"Amen to that" Roland agreed. "And Sir Oliver is being taken back to Brazendell to face punishment".

"Faith, Colette, and I should be getting back to Cinnibar" Scarlett announced. "Ariana will be waiting for us".

"That's right" Roland remarked. "Ariana is your little sister, Scarlett".

Scarlett thought of Ariana for a few moments. Ariana was immortal, just like Scarlett and Faith. Ariana was present when Scarlett was cursed by the witch queen of the past. In an attempt to save Scarlett, Ariana had quickly stepped in front of Scarlett before anything could be done. The result was that Scarlett and Ariana were both cursed with immortality. It was always a bitter pill for Scarlett to swallow, knowing that Ariana had shared Scarlett's fate.

"Are you all right, Scarlett?" Colette asked, concerned.

"Just lost in thought" Scarlett answered, before turning back to Roland. "Until we meet again, old friend".

"Until we meet again" Roland said.

As Faith gently took hold of Scarlett's arm, Scarlett and Colette clapped their hands, and the three disappeared in a puff of smoke. In a few moments, the three appeared inside of Scarlett's palace in Cinnibar.

"Ah! There you are" a girl the physical age of Faith spoke up. It was Ariana.

"We had a bit of an adventure" Scarlett said as she hugged Ariana.

"I know" Ariana smiled. "It's all the talk on the Crystal Ball News Network. Nicely done. Meanwhile, I've had Cook prepare a good meal for us".

"That sounds good" Scarlett smiled.

As Scarlett walked with Colette, Ariana walked with Faith. Scarlett looked back at Ariana and Faith who were happily talking to each other. Ariana and Faith had become fast friends, and that made Scarlett very happy.

Meanwhile, on a hill overlooking Dunwitty, Maleficent stood looking at the village. She had a twinge of evil come over her the night before as a result of battle, and that worried Maleficent to no end. She was now good, and she didn't want to go back to being evil.

Maleficent drank from a vial some of the potion that Scarlett had prescribed. It had worked so far in keeping the evil side of Maleficent somewhat under control.

"Where there is life, there is hope" Maleficent thought to herself.

(End of Chapter 9).

Author's notes

At a point outside of the castle, Scarlett, Colette, Hematite, Cordelia, and Maleficent stood outside the wall which surrounded the castle. Hematite then brought out a hammer, and carefully tried to chip away at the wall - this scene was suggested by Ben10Man who also supplied some of the dialog which followed.

Ben10Man (previously Jacob Voronkov) and I decided it was time to bring Ariana into "Dorrie: Book Two". Ariana is an original character created by Ben10Man.

Blackthorn Prison for Magical Criminals is something created by SailorWednesdayMercury for this story and for her stories as well.

Cordelia is originally from the "Sofia the First" episode "Gone With The Wand".

Daisy Mason is an older version of Daisy from "Downton Abbey" who is now a Voyager.

Danika Knight-Cook, Doctor Anna Li Cook, Dorrie Lucinda Cook, Hematite, Jeremiah Cook, and Zahida are original characters created by SailorWednesdayMercury for this story.

Faith is an earlier version of Faith seen in the "Torchwood" episodes "Dead Man Walking" and "Fragments".

Greenwich: a borough of Greater London on the Thames. Zero degrees of longitude runs through Greenwich. Time is measured relative to Greenwich Mean Time. I thought Greenwich would be an appropriate name for the Voyager time ship.

Having Maleficent return to this story was the idea of myself and SailorWednesdayMercury. Having Maleficent turn good was the idea of SailorWednesdayMercury.

"How about Curses! Foiled again!" Sofia mocked at Sir Oliver - this was inspired by Jo Grant who said the same thing to The Master in the "Doctor Who" serial "The Claws of Axos".

"It's a go! Take 'em down!" - in case this line sounds familiar, this is the same line that Lee Marvin used in "The Delta Force".

Maleficent, as seen in this story, is the Maleficent of old from "Sleeping Beauty". Bringing in Maleficent into "Dorrie" was the idea of SailorWednesdayMercury. In regard to Maleficent, readers of my stories might recall that Maleficent of the Moors is mentioned in Chapter 2 of my story "A Royal Rift". To clear things up, we'll consider Maleficent from "Sleeping Beauty", and Maleficent of the Moors from "Maleficent", to be two separate characters. To further clear things up, Maleficent in "Dorrie" is mostly the "Sleeping Beauty" version, but also has some elements of Maleficent from "Disney Descendants" added in (such as Maleficent with child).

Maleficent drank from a vial some of the potion that Scarlett had prescribed. It had worked so far in keeping the evil side of Maleficent somewhat under control - this is setting things up for a future storyline in "Dorrie: Book Two".

Sir Oliver, his horse, and Brazendell are originally from the "Sofia the First" episode "The Tale of the Noble Knight".

"So, what's your next assignment?" Violet asked Daisy, curious. "1937 New Jersey" Daisy answered. "The Hindenburg time line has been altered to a degree. It blew up, but not in the way it originally did. Voyager Command wants to find out what happened" - this is a reference to the first episode of the NBC-TV series "Timeless".

The match up with Constance and Zahida, and Cordelia and Hematite, was the idea of Ben10Man (with Ben10Man providing some dialog for that match up).

The Scarlett Warrior (A.K.A. Scarlett) (A.K.A. Queen Scarlett) (A.K.A. Queen Scarlett Katherine Felchenerow) is a character created by Ben10Man (previously Jacob Voronkov), and is used in my stories with permission from Ben10Man. Meanwhile, the character of Colette is a character that I and Ben10Man created, and is based on Bayonetta from the video game "Bayonetta" (please note that Colette, and Madam Collette of Enchancia Castle, are two different characters who are not related in any way, shape, or form).

The scene set three years in the future was the idea of SailorWednesdayMercury, and will set up a future story to be written by SailorWednesdayMercury.

Voyager, and Omni, are from the "Voyagers!" TV series.

"You know I'm a Voyager, milady" Violet started. "When I'm back to full strength, I'll be more than happy to take you back in time and let you see for yourself how strong your children are" - this is setting things up for the next chapter of "Dorrie: Book Two".

Inside Dorrie's world

The song that Dorrie sings to Abby in this chapter is a modified version of "Faith of the Heart" (the opening music from "Star Trek: Enterprise"). The original lyrics are as follows:

"It's been a long road, getting from there to here. It's been a long time. But my time is finally near".

"And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky. And they're not gonna hold me down no more. No, their not gonna change my mind".

"Cause I've got faith of the heart. I'm going where my heart will take me. I've got faith to believe, I can do anything".

"I've got strength of the soul. No one's gonna bend or break me. I can reach any star".

"I've got faith. I got. I got. I got. I got faith. Faith of the heart".
