Chapter 3: Footsteps

September 21, 1867

It was a Saturday afternoon in the Kingdom of Cinnibar. At Scarlett's palace, Elena, as well as Naomi Turner, walked into Scarlett's palace as Faith and Scarlett sat on their thrones before them. But the women from Avalor were shocked to see that their old enemy was standing by Faith's side in a Cinnibar maid's outfit.

"Carla?" Naomi asked as Rita sighed at that.

"I'm not Carla anymore. I'm Rita," Rita informed Naomi. "That name holds too many bad memories for me to continue using it."

"She speaks the truth," Faith stated. "Miss Rita Fernandez Iñarritu here is a completely different person than Carla Delgado ever was. That's why she decided to change her name to completely remove herself from her past."

"Anyway," Scarlett said to Elena and Naomi, "I've decided to invite you two here so you could spend a bit of time with Rita so you guys can make up for the past."

"You're certain?" Elena asked. "She did help bring back the woman who killed my parents."

"You're right," Rita admitted with a sigh. "I don't blame you for not trusting me."

"I trust you," Faith said, putting her hand on Rita's shoulder. "You have more than proven yourself to me. However, they're not going to be as easy to win over as I was."

At that moment, another maid walked up to Rita. "Some of the city children have arrived for the weekly story reading session."

"Ah, good!" Rita smiled, before turning to those gathered. "If you'll excuse me, this is something I look forward to."

As Rita walked away, Elena and Naomi looked dumbfounded.

"Rita is really quite good with children," Faith happily announced. "One Halloween, I had her pass out candy to the city children who visited the palace. She was really quite good at it, and got along well with the children. When my mother, Queen Scarlett, instituted a weekly story reading session for the local children, Rita jumped at the chance to be the storyteller."

"Carla, I mean Rita, doing something good?" Naomi questioned in an unbelieving manor.

"Why not see for yourself?" Faith suggested to Elena and Naomi.

"The three of you go ahead," Scarlett said as Colette walked up with some papers for Scarlett to sign.

Faith, Elena, and Naomi walked to the door of the room where Rita was happily talking to a group of sitting children.

"Good morning, children," Rita smiled. "Today, our book is a recommendation from Lady Dorrie of House Cosmarune. In the 9th Century, in the Kingdom of Kippernium, there lived a girl who was named Jane Turnkey. She met and became friends with a huge dragon who was named, believe it or not, Dragon. This is one of their stories."

The children listened with great interest as Rita told how Jane and Dragon first met. As the story went along, some of the children asked questions, which Rita happily answered.

"I have to admit, she gets along well with the children," Elena remarked about Rita, impressed.

"They really like her," Faith commented. "Rita goes out of her way to pick stories that entertain the children, and as you can see, Rita also answers questions about the stories."

"I guess Rita has really changed," Naomi had to admit.

Meanwhile, in Enchancia, Lucinda was carrying out a royal duty at the headquarters of the Southern Border Guard. When Lucinda first became a princess, one of the titles she received was that of an honorary Captain in the Southern Border Guard. It was now time for Lucinda to officially meet the Southern Border Guard.

On the parade grounds of the Southern Border Guard, Lucinda sat on her flying horse, Thunderbolt. Lucinda was dressed in a dress uniform made up of a royal blue military tunic, royal blue dress pants, and black boots. As Lucinda sat on Thunderbolt, and saluted, a group of guards from the Southern Border Guard slowly rode past her on horseback, and returned the salute.

As this was taking place, there was, among the audience, a blond haired white woman by the name of Juliet Baring, who was currently serving as Lucinda's royal teacher.

"You're looking good so far," Juliet said of Lucinda, impressed. "Remember to stay facing the guards until they leave the parade grounds."

Lucinda continued to salute the guards. In a short while, the guards on horseback left the parade grounds, and Lucinda was free to ride away.

"That was excellent, Lucinda!" Juliet said to herself, pleased. "You presented yourself with honor, and stayed facing the guards until they left. Didn't want you making the mistake that Queen Victoria made, and turning your back on the guards. Now that would have been an unintentional insult."

As Lucinda rode into the Southern Border Guard stable, Diana was waiting for her.

"That was an excellent performance," Diana praised Lucinda. "You're progressing nicely as a princess."

"With your help," Lucinda smiled. "Your instruction has helped me so very much. I can never thank you enough."

"You're very welcome, Princess Lucinda," Diana smiled back. "I've taught you everything I can. Tonight, I'll be leaving."

"Will I ever see you again?" Lucinda asked.

"Of course you will," Diana happily responded. "I'll be dropping by from time to time. I want to see how you're progressing. I think you are destined for great things. You're going to make Enchancia proud."

Lucinda smiled at Diana's complement.

That night, at Enchancia Castle, Violet was in Diana's guest room helping Diana to depart.

"I want to thank you for helping to guide Lucinda into royalty," Violet gratefully said to Diana.

"It was my pleasure, Violet," Diana smiled. "Lucinda's a fine young woman."

"That she is," Violet agreed.

"I take it you, Dorrie, and Candice will keep an eye on her?" Diana asked.

"Oh, yes," Violet happily acknowledged. "With me as an undercover Voyager assigned to Enchancia Castle, and Dorrie and Candice being Auxiliary Voyagers, we'll make sure things stay on track."

"Well, then, it looks like everything is on track," Diana observed. "I must tell you, Dorrie and Candice do you proud."

"You are too kind, milady," Violet said with pride. "And, might I say, Tricia does you proud."

"Thank you, Violet," Diana said, pleased, upon hearing Violet's praise of Diana's fourteen-year-old adopted daughter.

"By the way, ma'am," Violet started. "I've always been curious. Why didn't Princess Sofia ever get any special guidance from you?"

"Oh, that's an easy one," Diana happily answered. "Sofia never needed it. She was always destined to be her own person, not to be changed."

"Of course," Violet agreed as Dorrie, Candice, and Tricia stepped into the room.

"Hi, Mom," Tricia smiled at Diana. "I was just saying my goodbyes to Dorrie and Candice."

"Well, time to be off," Diana said as she pulled out her silver Omni, the pocket watch shaped time travel device used by all Voyagers.

"Right," Tricia acknowledged as she pulled out her own silver Omni, and opened the cover. A green light then flashed on. "Green light. Everything is normal."

Diana and Tricia adjusted the dials on their Omnis, and each pressed a button on each of their Omnis. The two then disappeared into thin air.

"Safe journeys," Violet wished Diana and Tricia.

September 22, 1867

It was a Sunday morning at Scarlett's palace in Cinnibar. Faith went to Rita's room with a serious look on her face before she noticed Rita sporting a new hairstyle, making Rita look exactly like her disguise from when she freed Shuriki.

"Your Highness," Rita said with a smile.

"Looking good," Faith joked before Rita smiled.

"I figured it's not enough to change my name to Rita. I have to look like her too," Rita acknowledged before Faith got back to her serious look.

"So anyway. I was planning on visiting your father so we can get info on Shuriki's plans," Faith announced before Rita put her hand up.

"Victor Delgado is not my father. He's Carla's father," Rita announced as Faith nodded.

"Right. Anyway, I was thinking maybe you'd want to go, too," Faith suggested.

"Fine. I have a bone to pick with that guy anyway," Rita said with a serious look.

An hour later, a flying carriage carrying Faith and Rita landed at a prison on the Enchancia/Weiling border. This was the Blackthorn Prison for Magical Criminals.

In a short while, Faith and Rita showed up outside Victor's cell with a glare.

"Princess Faith," Victor said with complete disinterest before he looked up to his daughter. "Carla."

That had struck a nerve somewhere in Rita as she suddenly grew angry at him.

"My name is not CARLA!" Rita shouted at Victor with absolute no regard for him. "That ship has sailed!"

"That's no way to talk to your father," Victor told her. That was a big mistake.

"You're not my father, Victor! You're Carla's father and she doesn't exist anymore! News flash! Everything that we ever did was your idea. I was just the sidekick who only stuck around because you were my father. I thought I didn't have a choice. Then when I was in disguise and was hanging out with Elena and Naomi, I realized that I do have a choice. And to my everlasting shame, I decided to team up with you anyway! Well guess what? I'm done with you. Working as a maid is the best thing that's ever happened to me and I'm not giving it up for all the magic and power in the world! I'd rather be a servant for the rest of my life than spend one more minute working for you or Shuriki or anybody like you ever again!" She then drew in a few deep breaths before continuing. "And, boy, did it feel good to say that!"

Meanwhile, at Enchancia Castle, Dorrie and Candice were doing some dusting in the Secret Library. As they were dusting, they came across the newest book in the library - a pink covered book titled "Once Upon a Time in Enchancia."

"Impressive," Dorrie remarked, looking at the book. "A book about all of our adventures, being magically written and updated all the time, which means it hasn't an ending per se."

"This is a nice treasure from our recent trip to Smurf Village," Candice smiled.

Dorrie and Candice stopped what they were doing, picked up the book, and started reading through it. As they read through it, the book suddenly glowed, then returned to normal. Writing then appeared on the page they were reading.

"Welcome, Lady Dorrie and Lady Candice," the writing started. "This is a special part of the book only visible to the two of you. This special part of the book chronicles your adventures as Auxiliary Voyagers. Please turn to page 375 to continue."

"Whoa!" Dorrie and Candice exclaimed in awe as they went to page 375.

"The adventures of Lady Dorrie and Lady Candice, Auxiliary Voyagers," the writing continued.

As Dorrie and Candice went through the adventures, they came across the time they had helped Walt Disney and his family to survive the Spanish Flu in 1918. They then came across other adventures as well, including Violet taking them to witness Lincoln's Gettysburg Address in 1863. The book then wrote a new line.

"The adventure continues in 1910 Niagara Falls," the writing revealed. "Look behind you."

The writing then disappeared as Dorrie and Candice looked behind them to see Violet standing there, smiling.

"Mom?" Dorrie and Candice asked, taken off guard at seeing Violet in the Secret Library.

"Well, you didn't think this place escaped my notice?" Violet happily asked as she hugged her daughters. "I am the undercover Voyager assigned to Enchancia Castle, after all. That means knowing everything about the castle, including its secrets."

"We should have known," Dorrie acknowledged with a smile.

"A most impressive place," Violet smiled as she looked around, before turning back to Dorrie and Candice. "You two are aware this is your day off?"

"Yes," Candice acknowledged. "But, Dorrie and I were bored, and we thought we'd come down here and do some dusting."

"Well, I can't damn the two of you for your work ethic," Violet happily observed. "Since I have the day off as well, I had a lovely idea. How about we go on a time trip to Niagara Falls? I was thinking 1910 would be nice."

Dorrie and Candice smiled at each other, remembering what they had just read in the book.

May 10, 1910

It was a late Tuesday morning in the City of Niagara Falls, New York. Violet, Dorrie, and Candice had used their Omnis to travel there, and had just appeared out of thin air inside of an alley.

"Nobody around," Violet noted as she looked around. "We've best use our wands to transform our clothes into 1910 clothes."

Violet, Dorrie, and Candice looked out onto a street where a number of people were passing by. After studying what women and girls were wearing, the three raised their wands, and transformed their clothes into what was acceptable female fashion in 1910 (blouses, and long skirts).

"Lets say we be off, then," Violet suggested to Dorrie and Candice as the three walked onto a sidewalk. "I thought we'd get some lunch first, then take in some of the sights."

"Where did you have in mind, Mom?" Dorrie asked, curious.

"Well, there is the Falls Restaurant, or the International Hotel, or even the Cataract House," Violet started. "However, there is a lunch place on Second Street called Niagara Lunch which I've heard good things about."

"Then Niagara Lunch it is," Candice agreed.

It was a short walk to Second Street. In a short while, the three arrived at Niagara Lunch. It was an inviting restaurant with Quick Lunch displayed on the window. Violet, Dorrie, and Candice walked in, and were greeted by a male waiter.

"Welcome, ladies," the waiter smiled. "Party of three?"

"Yes, my good man," Violet responded. "Myself, and my two daughters."

The waiter sat Violet, Dorrie, and Candice at a table, and gave each a menu.

"I'll have the beef stew, and a cup of coffee," Violet said to the waiter as she looked at the menu.

"I'll have a chicken sandwich, and a bottle of Coca-Cola," Candice said as she looked at the menu.

"And I'll have a corned beef sandwich, and a bottle of Coca-Cola," Dorrie said as she, too, looked at the menu.

"Very good," the waiter acknowledged. "And for dessert?"

"What do you think, girls?" Violet asked as she studied the menu. "Perhaps rice pudding?"

"Sounds good," Dorrie smiled.

"A fine choice," Candice agreed.

Violet, Dorrie, and Candice enjoyed their meal, and had a pleasant conversation. Afterward, the three walked toward the corner of Second Street and Falls Street.

"Candice and I were here in Niagara Falls with The Doctor once," Dorrie revealed to Violet.

"Dorrie and I didn't exactly have time to sightsee," Candice added. "It was more of an emergency situation."

"Yes, I remember hearing about that," Violet remarked. "Well, then, let me give you the nickel tour as it were. That building over there is the Union Depot, the central railroad station here in Niagara Falls. Next to it, across Second Street, is the Imperial Hotel. The hotel at the back of the Imperial is the Temperance House. And, if you look across Falls Street, there is the Gluck Building, housing a number of offices."

Dorrie and Candice looked at the grand buildings in awe.

"Here comes a trolley, girls," Violet announced as a trolley approached. Violet, Dorrie, and Candice climbed aboard as it approached. As the three sat down, Dorrie and Candice looked around as the trolley made its way down Falls Street. The street was busy with activity, with a number of people walking in and out of the many businesses that lined Falls Street. As the trolley moved down the street, Dorrie and Candice's attention was drawn to two large buildings next to each other.

"What are those buildings?" Candice asked Violet.

"The first building is the International Hotel," Violet answered. "Its one of the finest hotels in Niagara Falls, compared to the Cataract House, that is."

"And the other building?" Dorrie wanted to know.

"That's the International Theater," Violet responded. "It features vaudeville, band concerts, and plays, among other things."

The trolley then turned a corner, and started down a street called Riverway which was also home to a number of businesses.

"This is our stop," Violet announced as she, Dorrie, and Candice climbed off the trolley. The three then walked across the street, and entered the grounds of Prospect Park. The park was the gateway for seeing the American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls.

Violet, Dorrie, and Candice took a short walk over to a metal railing where the American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls were visible.

"Wow!" Dorrie exclaimed in awe.

"Impressive!" Candice exclaimed, also in awe.

"I see there are drivers and carriages for hire over there," Violet pointed out. "Lets hire a driver and carriage and take a ride over to Goat Island. We can get good views of the Horseshoe Falls from the island."

The three climbed aboard a carriage, and its driver and horses drove them across a bridge to Goat Island. Once on the island, Violet, Dorrie, and Candice rode to Terrapin Point where they got a close up look at the Horseshoe Falls. After dismissing the driver and carriage, they walked toward the other side of the island.

"I have a special surprise for you," Violet announced to Dorrie and Candice as they started down a flight of steps. "We're going down to the bottom of the falls via the Biddle Staircase."

"The Biddle Staircase?" Candice asked, curious.

"A wooden tower with an iron staircase," Violet answered. "It was built in 1827 by Nicholas Biddle."

Violet, Dorrie, and Candice reached the bottom of the flight of stairs, and arrived at the upper entrance of the Biddle Staircase.

"Lets make our way down," Violet suggested as they entered the wooden tower, and made their way downward. As they went downward, using the iron staircase in the tower, there were small viewing portals along the way to allow visitors to view the outside from various heights. In a short while, they reached the bottom, and started walking along a path which led to the bottom of the Horseshoe Falls.

"This is so beautiful!" Dorrie gasped in amazement.

"Wonderful!" Candice said, impressed.

"In our dimension, this area is part of the Kingdom of Niasia," Dorrie remarked. "I had always wanted to go there and see the famous falls, and now I'm here seeing them. Thank you, Mom."

"This is a trip Dorrie and I will always remember," Candice smiled.

"You're very welcome," Violet happily acknowledged as she hugged her two teenage daughters, then looked around. "We're alone right now. I think this is as good a time as any to return home."

Violet, Dorrie, and Candice brought out their Omnis, opened the covers, and adjusted the dials. They then pressed a button on each Omni, and disappeared into thin air, ending a wonderful excursion that would be remembered always.

September 28, 1867

It was a Saturday afternoon in the Village of Dunwitty. Inside of a meeting room above one of the businesses, Sofia, Lucinda, Dorrie, Candice, Amber, James, and Indigo were gathered.

"It's nice that Daddy has this meeting room set aside for village business," Fifteen-year-old Amber smiled.

"And it's nice that Dad gave us permission to use it when we need to," Fourteen-year-old Sofia smiled back, before turning to fourteen-year-old Dorrie and fourteen-year-old Candice. "Dorrie, Candice - the floor is yours."

"Thank you, Sofia," Dorrie responded. "Our Crimson Force unit here in Dunwitty has grown a bit with the addition of Prince James and Princess Amber."

Amber, and fifteen-year-old James, smiled as they thought back to their recent adventure connected to Smurf Village.

Flashback:

"Amber and James," Faith said, "you are both hereby invited to join Crimson Force."

"Thanks, Faith!" Amber and James exclaimed.

Lucinda turned to Danika.

"So, Nika," Lucinda asked, "how did your organization come to be, what is the Sapphire Agency, and what exactly do the members of the Sapphire Agency do?"

"Well, we do the same things that Crimson Force does," Danika explained, "but our jurisdiction covers more than just keeping our eyes on the magical community and sending magical criminals where they belong."

"How so?" Lucinda asked Danika.

"The Sapphire Agency handles magical cases not just in this dimension," Faith revealed, "but in the other dimension as well."

"So, Faith asked me to create my own task force to keep an eye on sorcerers like Gargamel ... evil sorcerers from the other dimension," Danika explained to Lucinda.

End of flashback, and back to the present.

"With this, the first official meeting of our Crimson Force unit in Dunwitty is called to order," Candice announced.

"Our first order of business is to introduce a new member of our unit," Dorrie said as she stepped forward, and motioned somebody to come in. "Our newest member is ... Matilda Honey."

Fourteen-year-old Matilda walked into the meeting room, as everybody smiled.

"Welcome to Crimson Force, girl!" fourteen-year-old Indigo gleefully said to Matilda.

"Nice to have you here, Matilda," fourteen-year-old Lucinda smiled as she shook Matilda's hand.

"As you already know, Sofia has the ability to move things with her mind," Candice pointed out. "Faith thought it would be wise to have another such person in our unit, so we contacted Matilda, who agreed to join."

At that point, Dorrie poured some fruit juice into glasses, and then passed out the glasses to those present.

"A toast," Dorrie started as she raised her glass. "To Matilda Honey, the newest member of our unit."

"To Matilda Honey," everybody said as they raised their glasses.

"Thank you," Matilda gratefully said. "It's an honor to be here."

Meanwhile, at Scarlett's palace in Cinnibar, Faith and Rita were meeting.

"Me jumping down my father's throat last Sunday didn't help matters," Rita apologized to Faith. "He clammed up, and didn't give us any information about Shuriki."

"I wasn't expecting him to," Faith revealed.

"What?!" Rita asked in shock. "Then why did we go?"

"Because I knew you needed closure," Faith gently explained as she held Rita's hand. "I thought this would be the perfect opportunity for you to get that closure."

"You did that? For me?" Rita wanted to know.

"Yes," Faith smiled. "I wanted to release that weight from you. Now you can move on, free of that weight, free of that pain. Consider this the beginning of a new life for you."

"Thank you," Rita said, gratefully. "Thank you so very much."

"By the way, Elena and Naomi have expressed an interest in spending more time with you," Faith announced. "From what they saw last week, they were impressed with the new person you've become. What shall I tell them?"

"That I'd like to spend more time with them as well," Rita happily answered.

"Then I'll make the arrangements," Faith acknowledged.

That night

At Enchancia Castle, Sofia was walking to her room when she came across James.

"Sofia," James started. "Thank you for telling me about the Secret Library. I promise to keep the library a secret."

"You're welcome, James," Sofia smiled. "And thank you for keeping the library secret."

"I realize I'm not a Protector," James admitted. "I'm touched that you trusted me with such a secret."

"Well, you are my brother," Sofia pointed out. "You'd find out about the library sooner or later. I wanted to be up front with you. As for you not being a Protector, I could pull strings to get you trained."

"As inviting an offer as that is, I'll have to pass," James said with a smile. "I'm already heavily involved in training to be a knight."

"And a good knight you'll be," Sofia happily acknowledged. "I've best be getting to bed."

"Me as well," James agreed. "Good night, Sofia."

"Good night, James," Sofia smiled as she and James walked into their bedrooms.

Meanwhile, on the Horrid Hills overlooking the castle, a giant black male snake was watching the castle. Floating next to him were a number of identical black blobs with orange eyes and orange mouths.

"Go my Gloomies!" the snake ordered. "Scout the castle, and report back to me!"

As the black blobs flew off toward the castle, the snake watched.

"I'm back!" the snake thought to himself with an evil grin. "It's time to restart this game!"

(End of Chapter 3).

Behind the scenes

In this edition of "Behind the scenes", we look at the Voyager Omni currently being used by Voyagers such as Violet, Dorrie, and Candice.

A model 320 Omni is now in standard use which allows the user to travel to any point in time (basically from the beginning of time to the end of time, with no restrictions as was the case with Phineas Bogg's model 313 Omni seen in "Voyagers!"). For the model 320 Omni, there are different designations. There is the 320-G (a gold model used by standard Voyagers), and there is the 320-S (a silver model used by supervisors, undercover Voyagers such as Violet, Dorrie, and Candice, as well as specialty Voyagers such as Juliet/Diana and Tricia).

The model 320 Omni, unlike earlier models, no longer drops the user out of the sky, but instead has the user appear out of thin air. The model 320 Omni also has a feature called a 60 second time freeze. When engaged, the feature allows the user to freeze time around the user for 60 seconds, allowing the user a quick means of escape from dangerous situations when needed.

The model 320 Omni allows travel between both dimensions on Earth. Each model 320 Omni is also genetically bonded to its owner (which means that the particular Omni will only work for its owner, with the owner's DNA literally acting as a key which unlocks the Omni. If anybody other than the owner tried to use the Omni, it would not work - a handy security feature in case the Omni fell into the wrong hands).

The Voyager guidebook also changed by the time the model 320 Omni came about. The guidebook is no longer a book with pages, but is instead a small computerized piece of equipment (about the size of a 23rd Century "Star Trek" tricorder) which contains the entire history of the Earth available for fast access. The new guidebook plugs into an Omni by way of a patch cord, and gives an immediate readout about what is wrong with the time line, and how to repair it. Like the model 320 Omni, each computerized guidebook is also genetically bonded to its owner to keep the information from falling into the wrong hands (for example, in "Back to the Future 2", we all remember the damage that Biff did by getting his hands on a sports almanac from the early 21st Century).

Author's notes

Amber, James, Lucinda, Sofia, and Violet are reoccurring characters seen in "Sofia the First".

Auxiliary Voyagers: an Auxiliary Voyager is a Voyager still in training, but who has been trained enough and trusted enough to be able to help regular Voyagers when needed. Each Auxiliary Voyager is also trusted enough to have his or her own Omni, and his or her own electronic guidebook.

"Candice and I were here in Niagara Falls with The Doctor once," Dorrie revealed to Violet - this is a reference to events in Chapter 39 of my story "Dorrie".

Carla Delgado (now Rita Fernandez Iñarritu) and Victor Delgado are originally from the "Elena of Avalor" episodes "King of the Carnaval", "Realm of the Jaguins", "The Jewel of Maru", "Royal Rivalry", "A Spy in the Palace", "Rise of the Sorceress", and "The Scepter of Night".

Matilda Honey is inspired by Matilda from the Matilda children's book and movie. The Matilda seen here has also been seen in my stories "Dorrie" and "Dorrie: Book Two". I realize that in the Matilda children's book, Matilda started losing her powers as she grew older. However, the version of Matilda seen here is a different version of Matilda who still has her powers, and will continue to have her powers even as she grows older.

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

Shuriki is originally from "Elena and the Secret of Avalor".

Sofia being able to move things with her mind goes back to Chapter 12 of my story "Dorrie".

The Biddle Staircase, Cataract House, Falls Restaurant, Gluck Building, Imperial Hotel, International Hotel, International Theater, Niagara Lunch, Temperance House, and the Union Depot were all locations that existed in Niagara Falls, New York around 1910. The Biddle Staircase was torn down in the late 1920s when elevators to the bottom of the falls were constructed. Riverway ceased to exist in the late 1940s when the Niagara Reservation State Park (formally Prospect Park) expanded. Meanwhile, Falls Street and the nearby area greatly changed in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a result of urban renewal when many old buildings were torn down and replaced with newer structures. Railroad travel in and out of the city is still available, but now operates out of a new station on Main Street.

The Blackthorn Prison for Magical Criminals is an original location created by MisuteriTenshi / SailorWednesdayMercury for this story.

The Doctor is from "Doctor Who".

The flashback scene in this chapter is from MisuteriTenshi's story "Return to Smurf Village", and is used here with the permission of MisuteriTenshi / SailorWednesdayMercury.

The food and drink that Violet, Dorrie, and Candice enjoy at Niagara Lunch are typical lunch items that were available in restaurants around 1910.

The House of Cosmarune: as readers of "Dorrie" and "Dorrie: Book Two" will remember, the House of Cosmarune is the magical house that Dorrie, Candice, Violet, and Scarlett's Royal Steward (Colette) belong to. The House of Cosmarune was originally created by Skyrimfan for Skyrimfan's stories "Lucinda the First" and "Rise to Power: Queen of Corona". Skyrimfan has given me permission to use the House of Cosmarune in my stories, and I have given Skyrimfan permission to use Dorrie and Candice in "Lucinda the First" and "Rise to Power: Queen of Corona".

The Horrid Hills are originally from the "Sofia the First" episode "Great Aunt-Venture".

The pink covered book "Once Upon a Time in Enchancia" is from MisuteriTenshi's story "Return to Smurf Village", and is used here with the permission of MisuteriTenshi / SailorWednesdayMercury.

The Sapphire Agency is an original organization created by MisuteriTenshi / SailorWednesdayMercury for MisuteriTenshi's story "Return to Smurf Village", and for this story as well.

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, 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 with Faith, Carla (now Rita), and Victor at Blackthorn Prison was the idea of Ben10Man (who also provided the dialog for the scene).

The snake and Gloomies seen in this chapter are earlier versions of the snake and Gloomies seen in the 2010 TV version of "The Little Prince". Readers of my story "Dorrie: Book Two" will remember that the snake aligned himself with Cedric for a number of years.

Thunderbolt is a character created by Jolly Roger Brat for use in Jolly Roger Brat's stories. Thunderbolt is used here with the permission of Jolly Roger Brat.

Unknown to Lucinda, Juliet was in fact a time traveling Voyager in charge of maintaining royal history. Juliet was in reality Lady Diana who had actually not died in a car crash in Paris during 1997, but instead had been recruited into Voyager service - for more about Juliet/Diana, see Chapter 49 of my story "Dorrie". Meanwhile, for more about her adopted daughter, Tricia, see Chapters 42 and 43 of my story "Dorrie: Book Two".

Vaudeville: variety shows with songs and comic acts.

Violet taking Dorrie and Candice to witness Lincoln's Gettysburg Address in 1863 was never written about in "Dorrie" or "Dorrie: Book Two". This is something I came up with for this chapter of "Once Upon a Time in Enchancia".
