“Syl, you explained what it’s supposed to be, but not its significance. The inscription is obviously a message for us . . . actually more of a warning. So why the clown?”

“Spirit, I think only Egg can answer that.” The five girls turned to their leader. “Well?”

“Aclownmademecry,” mumbled Flying Girl as she stared at her feet.

“What?”

“I said a clown made me cry.”

“And?”

“And I was so scared I threw up.”

“And?”

“And when he picked me up, I wet myself.”

The other girls tried not to giggle . . . but not very hard.

“How old were you when this horrific incident happened?” asked her best friend with a big clown-like grin.

“The answer to that is strictly on a need to know basis. And, you don’t.”

“So what do we do . . . just continue down this red brick road?” asked Bree.

“Supposed to be yellow.”

“Excuse me?”

“It should be a yellow brick road.”

“Why?”

Egg explained, “It’s from that story I told you about - the Wizard of Oz . . . they go down the yellow brick road and it leads them to Emerald City.”

“Who are they?”

“Dorothy, the scarecrow, the lion and the tin man.”

“Don’t forget Toto,” reminded her friend.

“Oh yeah . . . and Toto, too.”

“So we’re reliving an earth story. And that cat with the hat . . . she’s part of it?” asked Bl’azzz.

“Dorothy is the main character . . . but she’s a young girl not a cat.”

“Then I don’t get it. Why a J’azzz like creature with a weird toothy smile?”

Sylvia suggested, “The toothy smile – that was actually a strangely disturbing variation of the Cheshire Cat. Before you ask, that’s a character from another earth story called Alice in Wonderland. That Cat would keep appearing and give Alice advice or information. Kind of like our dearest J’azzz-min.”

“What sort of advice?” asked Bree.

Very surprisingly, Egg quoted from the book she hadn’t read in more than five years. “Lots. Once, Alice asks ‘Have I gone mad’ because the place she’s in is as weird as this dream. The cat says, ‘I'm afraid so. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are.”

“Um . . . Egg.”

“Yeah.”

“That was very good.”

“Thanks, Syl.”

“But you got it backwards.”

“What do you mean?”

“The cat asks Alice if he’s mad. It’s Alice who says yes.”

“Are you sure?”

“Pretty much.”

“GOOD GRIEF,” bellowed the serpent. “WHO CARES?"

In unison, the two girls said “Sorry.”

They fell silent as they considered their predicament. It was Bree who finally suggested, “Since we seem to be reliving at least two of your childhood stories, can you give the rest of us a quick summary of what happens. It might help us respond to the strange variations in this dream.”

“Good idea. Syl . . . tell them.”

“Okay. This is the really simple version. In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy finds herself in a place called . . . well, Oz. She kind of inherits a pair of ruby slippers from a witch she accidently kills . . . don’t ask. The witch’s sister wants them and will try anything to get them .
