Sorry for the pause, but I had a few problems lately and no time to write.
Anyway, hope you like it.
Chapter 7 – Farewell letter
"So how are we getting into the city?" Judy asked me after some time of awkward silence.
"Huh? … Oh, yes. Fastest way would be the train, but we can't use that. We could walk along the tracks, but that would take ages. And we can't go through the streets it is too dangerous."
"Can't we just jump onto a train?"
"Like train riding?" I paused to think about it. "That could work, I guess."
"You guess?"
"I don't know I never had to do something like this!" I then calmed myself a bit "Sorry, What I mean is that it theoretically should be possible, but I don't know if it'll work."
"Well, there is a first for everything."
I stared at her. This bunny will get me killed.
"Sigh. So you got anything else you want to know?"
"Well ... I've got a few ones."
"So, to make things easier ..."
I got to my computer and turned it on.
"There you go. Suit yourself."
She looked a bit startled at me.
"Don't worry. There is nothing on there you shouldn't see." I said, without really thinking about all of the furry porn of her that is out there.
"Don't you want me to ask about Zootopia as well?"
"Nah, I'll just do the same when we are back and I got a little time to myself. Besides, I think you should make yourself a picture of us." Then I remembered the furry's.
"A-and don't worry if you go to the shady part of the internet I'll warn you first."
She gave me a suspicious look but eventually started typing into Google and I just watched, made some remarks on some things and helped her find stuff.
She started with some of the stuff we already had when we spoke in the hospital. She mostly stuck to Wikipedia, luckily.
When she had Google Maps open she asked: "Where are we?"
"About there." I pointed at north eastern Germany.
"But Zootopia is over here." She zoomed out till you could see the whole Earth and pointed at the US east coast. 'So it really is in the US then' I thought.
"Why don't the worlds connect at the same point?"
"I don't know. Something to ask the professor when we are back" I replied.
At about 01:30 she closed everything up.
As I said she mostly stuck to Wikipedia and maybe a few links on the articles.
"You're finished?"
"Yeah, I think I got myself a good overview. And I don't want to go into the weird part of the internet. If that's anything like what we have in Zootopia, I think I don't want to see that."
"Yeah, you sure wouldn't meant to see that stuff." I said relived she wouldn't find all the Rule 34 of Zootopia.
I then remembered that I still has things to do while in this world.
"So if your finished would you mind if I could use the computer?"
"No, it's all yours. Well it is yours to begin with."
I switched places with her, opened the E-mail program and opened a now mail with the addressed to my mum and dad.
They probably haven't even noticed I was gone. I admit I don't call my parents that often, but that made it more difficult explaining to them that we wouldn't see each other ever again.
Dear Mum and Dad,
I'm going to make this short. It isn't your fault. Heck it is nobody's fault, it was just bad timing.
If you are now asking yourself 'What the fuck is he talking about?'. You'll find out soon enough.
This is probably the last chance I got, to tell you that I love you. And to say to you that you shouldn't worry about me anymore. I know this sounds crazy, suddenly you get an e-mail from your son explaining to you that it is the last thing you would hear from him.
Live just had me plunged somewhere else. Somewhere I can't really come back from and somewhere where you guys can't really follow me.
Now, I'm not dead if that's what you are thinking. It is just that I can't really tell you where this place is, nor would you believe me. It's just, I had the probably craziest week of my live in which literally everything has changed.
Also give Tina a hug from me. Even though we really don't like each other as siblings I' not going with saying good bye to her as well.
And that it is really. All this, I just wrote to at least put your mind a little bit at ease when you find out about me, that I'm not kidnapped or dead. Just to tell you that I'm fine and that I love you and that I will miss you.
Because that is really the only part I can tell you. I love you.
The mouse hovered over the 'Send'-button. 'Should I really not tell them? No, they would think I'm crazy and they would worry themselves even more.' I thought to myself. 'At least I was able to say good bye in some form, even though I couldn't tell them where I was going now.'
It took me one and a half hours to write this letter and build up the courage to send it. So it already was short of 3:00. Time to move out.
It was considerably easier to move in the dark, we just had to stick out of the light of the streetlamps.
We got to the station through some bushes and waited for a train to pull in. Gladly the station itself was empty.
"OK. When a train pulls in we jump onto the coupling on the end of the train, which means if somebody falls down he doesn't get run over and dies a horrible death."
"Sounds good." She said in her usual optimistic voice.
After some time passed one approached the station and we took our place. We jumped on top of the coupling (that's the thing the use to join two trains together), with one hand I grabbed the wipers and with the other I held Judy in place, as she was too small to hold onto anything herself.
After 20min of clinging to that train in fear of death we arrived at our stop.
"OK, we need to get of here. Keep out of the lights and keep into the bushes." I finally broke the silence.
We sticked to the back roads, which at this time were almost always empty, with a lot front gardens to hide when somebody should approach anyways.
As suspected the square was empty. And at this time the lights were already out. We were hiding in a bush at the edge of the square.
I got the countermeasure out and prepared it like the professor showed us before we left.
"Where do you think is a good spot? The spot I 'vanished' is over there and the Prof said we should activate it near that." I whispered to her.
"Under that bench over there." She pointed to a bench right beside the point.
"OK, I'll set the time for 30 seconds. We get over there activate it and get back to Zootopia on the spot."
"And is somebody sees us?"
"Then the countermeasure will go of before they could do anything about it. I mean the will probably be too shocked to see two bunnies wearing clothes and walking on two legs."
"Right." She nodded "So, are you ready?"
"Yes, let's go." And with that we sprinted out of the bushes.
I put it under the bench with Judy watching out for anybody.
"Good to go."
"I can't believe that that actually worked." Judy exclaimed.
I got the device out the Prof gave us to get back.
"Gimme your hand." Judy looked at me confused. "… I mean your paw."
She then took my paw and gave a wave to a security camera before I pushed the button, followed by a brief blackness.
We were back in the Lab. I even did stay awake this time. But the Lab was dark and deserted and we were in front of that portal machine. But we weren't the only ones there.
Besides me was myself. My human self. Lying on theground.
"What the fuck?" I exclaimed.
