I was sad to go, but I couldn’t stay.
There was too much to do, and the people I needed wouldn’t
or couldn’t leave this World behind.
The boys seemed to understand, and their friends turned
up to wish me farewell.
It was more, far more, than I had gotten on any other
planet.
I opened up the Pathways, forming a doorway. I couldn’t resist
showing off a little.
In hindsight that was probably a bad idea.
I waved goodbye.
That first step is a dozy.
I fell. I shouldn’t have left the doorway open so long. I
shouldn’t have been showing off. I shouldn’t have...
But I did.
And like I had seen before on that World, if the power
wants something gone, of it wants something to happen?
It’s like dominoes.
Apparently I wasn’t the only one who thought I needed
Perry’s help.
The machine, some sort of flying device with a fire
enchantment propelling it, crashed into my doorway.
I went tumbling and blacked out for a while.
Blacking out when you’re standing on the Moon Paths is a
very bad idea.
When I came to I couldn’t tell up from down, left from
pudding or forward from water.
Like I said, blacking out on the Moon Paths is a very bad
idea. Waking up there is even worse.
I wonder if part of the Mouse’s problems had been that I
carried him through the Moon paths.
I was furious. I was also shouting utter nonsense.
Doofenschmirtz and Perry had been fighting, but stopped
when I started speaking nonsense.
Rolling my ears, I grabbed the Platypus and the Doctor
and dragged them along the pathways.
It’s probably a good thing I did.
Doofenschmirtz is already insane, I would hate to see what
the Moon paths would twist him into.
