DG woke up on the floor of the diner, blinking her big blue eyes open she almost didn't trust what she was feeling to be the truth. But the the owner of the diner swooped in with a pitcher of water he immediatly upturned over her and now soaked to the bone she understood that the entire adventure had been a dream, a strange dream in which she was a princess... in which she had a sister... in which her parents for 20 years had been nuture drones... robots. The odd companions were dreams, the zipper head, Glitch... the Tin Man, Cain... and the Seer, Raw.

"DG... get your lazy arse up or you are going to get doused with another pitcher of water!"

The owner of the diner barked at her, and with the help of a rather tan man, who immediatly explained that though he wasn't a doctor he was a Vet and had been the one to catch her when she passed out. His name was Rorey, and his voice had a gruff tone she immediatly recognized as Raw.

"no wait! I was in this magical place, and you were there, but you were a... lion."

Rorey only chuckled, shaking his head, saying that he was a leo (born in August) but not an actual lion. Then he offerred to help her outside, shooting a glare at the diner owner who held up his hands in mock surrender. Getting help outside, she couldn't help but bang shoulders with a rather beautiful lady with dark hair... it bore a striking resembalence to her sister... but DG was now doubting everything, and the slightly older girl would probably be freaked if she was rabidly attacked by a psycho waitress talking about two princess spinning on their tippy toes.

Being helped to a bench, she sat down, her head felt heavy and her vision foggy, Rorey just sat next to her, and as she watched people passed she noticed the resembelence they all had to her dream... especially when two people crossed the street. One in handcuffs, and the other an officer. 'Cain and Glitch!' Were her thoughts as wide eyed she focused on the conversation.

"But I told you I'm not a convict, Cain!"
"Ambrose, you say that everytime I catch you... you were causing a nuisance in the library again."
"I can't help it if the arrange things wrongly, and can't seem to... euh..."
"you also blew up half of the romance section."
"It wasn't suppose to blow up, I just mixed in the wrong chemical... I forgot."
"You always forget you headcase."
"But Cain! It was an accident... are the handcuffs really nessessary?"
"yes... with you, handcuffs are completly nessessary, in fact they are a requirement... you should come with the warning lable."

DG watched with fascination as the Cop!Cain and the Handcuffed Glitch came closer, speaking loudly. There was something about the two that she couldn't put her foot on.

"C'mon Wyatt, you know I don't mean it... I just forget that I'm not at home when I start thinking about things, and one thing always leads to another."
"I'm on duty, you have to call me Cain, or Officer... of Officer Cain."
The smirk of a smile that formed on Glitch's face was very different from OZ Glitch.
"Oh... but last night is when you told me to call you Officer, or don't you remember? We sure made sure the neighbors knew."

And then he was out of the cuffs, and DG turned bright red as the earth!Glitch...Ambrose... went to his tiptoes and gave earth!Cain a very intimate, very tongue full kiss, at the same time slipping the cuffs on the cops wrist. A grin later, a cheeky one and he was taking off down the sidewalk, bag swinging at his side as a stun Wyatt was left. Rorey was nearly guffawing.

"those two... remember when Ambrose knocked over the water tower accidentally? I don't know how you lived through him being your professor... he's going to ruin the town with him and Wyatt Cain's idea of foreplay."

"Wha?!"

Before DG could say anything else she was gasping awake, feeling the cool breeze of FenAqua around her room, silken sheets clutched under her hands. Above her three sets of eyes stared down.

"DG! You had us worred! The fever finally broke, Raw was able to heel you the rest of the way..." Glitch spoke, bring the princess to awareness.

"Oh my goodness! I had the strangest dream! I was back on earth, and Raw... you were there, and you were human..." a snort of discuss from Raw." and Glitch and Cain... you were there but," she blushed, and wanted to hide under the sheet. "you were... dating." The abrupt coughing from Cain, and the shocked expression on Glitch's face were enough to let DG know that it was all just a dream. Raw looked at the two before looking back at DG, "you rest... we leave... you get strength from relax."

Nodding weakly, her eyes already falling closed as the three men left the room.

As the door closed behind them, there was silence until Raw said, "Told you she find out soon." Holding his hand out, he waited till it was filled with enough gold pieces to satisfy him, and with that he walked off, a very happy Seer indeed.

So there ya go, a super quick one-shot story match to the picture. I couldn't resist the 'this-was-all-a-dream' scenario. So I had to draw Glitch and Cain how I imagine they would be on earth.

Cain: a cop
Glitch: an absent minded Professor with a penchant to blow things up when he is bored or horney.

Time taken: 1 hour
tools: paper, pencil, pen, eraser

I don't own these characters... I wish I did though, I'd have a lot of fun.

P.S This picture will eventuall be coloured
