A/N- I am writing this at about 10:00 at night so sorry if all the spelling is horrible. I was bored and I couldn't go to sleep.
Let's get the Show on the Road!
Two days felt like weeks to Meggie. For the past two days her family and she had been preparing to enter the world in which she was born. Every second mattered. Meggie had always loved her brother and now that he wasn't there causing trouble made Meggie even more determined to get her brother back to at least the same world. Thought the first day Meggie, Dora, and the rest of her family were preparing for the final departure into Elinor's mansion.
It was absolute murder to Meggie when on the second day, when her family was finished with the preparations, Fenoglio was still writing a way there! Meggie was doing everything to try to stay preoccupied, but at one point all the work that was possible was done and Meggie's mind was left to wonder.
'What if he had done something stupid and landed himself in jail?' Meggie thought to herself. 'What if he electrocuted himself trying to work out some gizmo? What if he turns into a bird in the middle of the night while someone is watching and ends up in a lab? What if he gets behind the wheel of a car?!?!' Meggie's worries became wilder and wilder until Doria interupted her thoughts.
"Your brother is going to be all right" Doria comforted her. (A/N- if you are a Doria hater, just stop reading right now.) "Doria, can I tell you the most confusing part of this whole thing?" Meggie asked. "Of course" Doria answered. "Well, I have been thinking, I had a hypothesis about reading yourself into another world and…" Meggie trailed off. "Yes" Doria encouraged. "You know that I entered this world by reading myself in with Farid?" Meggie asked. "Yes" Doria sounded slightly agitated by this remark, he had never liked Farid. Meggie continued, "And Darius read himself in with Elinor?" "Yes" Doria said. "And how Orpheus never could read himself into anything" Meggie said, "Yup" Doria said. "I personally thought that you could only read yourself into another world with another person. Obviously, Thomas had disproved that theory."
"I don't know" Doria replied. "Jasper has not been seen for a while now and he was with him when he disappeared." Meggie could not think about Thomas anymore. "Let's change the subject" she inquired. A voice came from outside, "I'm finished!" It was Fenoglio!
_________________________________________Doria's POV
Meggie was really worried about her brother. Doria could see it in her eyes. He had tried everything to get her mind off of Thomas but nothing seemed to work. Now Meggie was practically running outside to read us into another world. Doria had always heard stories of the Folchart's wonderworking voice, but had never witnessed it. Doria's hand went to his pocket of his jeans. He felt that jeans were a very odd article of clothing and highly uncomfortable to wear. Jean sounds like a girls name rather than an article of clothing. Inside his pocket was a wedding ring.
Doria had been waiting for the right moment to ask Meggie to marry him. He had gotten a blessing from Mo and nothing was stopping him…except his fear of rejection. Doria loved Meggie and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. But did she feel the same way about him? Maybe he will find just the right moment in the other world to ask her. "Come on Doria!" Meggie called, interrupting Doria's thoughts. Then as Doria came up next to Meggie and the rest of the family, Meggie started reading.
