Crossroads, or, Break On Through To The Other Side:
Once Carley got to the St. Croix River's border banks, she sat down on a rock and began to ponder again, in view of her previous pondering being interrupted. Considering it wasn't all that long ago that she was contacted by a cartoon version of Ryan, she was much more open to accepting apparent impossibility as fact than she normally would have been.
She grabbed a sheet of paper and made a list of things that had happened recently that were out of the ordinary. But her attention was diverted, and she started absentmindedly doodling on the edge of the sheet. Luckily, she quickly realized she needed to get back to the important task of pondering.
Anyways, the three main oddnesses (((A/N: Word is redscribblylining me again))) were: Ryan contacting her as WakkoRyan, apparently traveling hundreds or thousands of miles per hour (she didn't feel like doing the math for the distance over time for her trip,) and cartoon characters apparently entering the real world.
Considering that the apparent fast travel could be considered a plot hole, she came to realize that the common bond was cartoon or fanfiction stuff in the real world. She wondered if all of these elements came through when she had the link to WakkoRyan, et al, or if they continued to come through at this moment.
Carley stood up, knowing that she could probably think about these things while continuing on to the hospital that Ryan was in. Then it occurred to her: how was she going to get across the border crossing on a bike, anyways? (((A/N: Truth be told, you probably could…they let a guy into the U.S. from Canada with a bloody chainsaw, after all.)))
She looked down at the river, and saw that there was an aluminium boat sitting there. Well, at least that answered the question about whether or not plot holes were still occurring.
She rolled her eyes and sighed at the predictability, but shrugged and got in.
