"Are you crazy?!" Kate screeched as the robot dragged her toward the empty pink sky.

"It's been suggested," answered the robot, and without further ado, it leapt off the edge of the world, pulling Kate with it.

--

"To heal Juniper, one would have to take a crystal shard," answered the robot, "and plunge it into her heart. Of course, no one has ever gotten close enough to do it. She doesn't let people get close."

I bet she would let me get close, thought Kate.

"You're in the Dreamscape," said the child with the gray mouse's head. She, like the butch dog woman, was wearing rather tomboyish clothing: cargo pants, boots, and a military jacket open over a white shirt with a yellow smiley face on it. Her mouse head was cloaked in a mane of white hair, and she had sat herself on the edge of the table and was licking her fingers of cake icing. The pink kite was streaming from one hand.

"The Dreamscape?" Kate repeated blankly.

"It's what your kind call our world," said Minerva, picking up a spoon and critically examining her reflection in the back of it.

--

The robot halted in its tracks and stared at Kate, and though its metal face was incapable of expression, she could tell it was horrified by what she had said. Something in its posture screamed disbelief.

"Juniper doesn't love any of the mortals who come here," said Mini gravely, "so if you thought she'd hold your hand and skip through the fields with you, put the notion out of your head right now. Though I will admit . . . she did seem interested in you. The look in her eyes . . . I've never seen her look at a woman that way before."

Kate's heart skipped a beat.

--

Kate stared back, just as smitten. All the fear and panic left her, and she relaxed in Juniper's arms, suddenly quite content to be there.

"How dare you be so beautiful," Juniper quietly scolded. "Mortals aren't supposed to have this power over me."
