Virginia Swainston is lying face-down on her bed and crying. The reason is perched in the waste-paper basket (though she'll have to move it, she can't let her parents find it, oh sweet God what would they say, they'll throw her out).

That noise? That's the noise of a girl's entire life plan crashing down around her ears.

Also, it's (with somewhat tasteless irony) a bang.

...that's grass she's lying on.

Virginia jerks her head up, red-eyed, and stares around in incoherent shock.

Cheerfully: "Not so far as I know."

"So I'm in another world?"

...or she's dreaming. YES THAT'S IT SHE'S DREAMING.

"Mhmm."

Mildly dazed: "And where do I go, again?"

Point.

"Kansas."

"...Isn't that quite a long way?"

"Yep."

"I have to walk there?"

Let the record state that Virginia doesn't believe a word of this.

"Well, you can't fly and you don't have a car. So unless you wanna get eaten by dinosaurs, hop to it."

...dinosaurs. Oh sweet Lord. This is officially a hallucination.

Virginia wanders in a direction. Then she looks to Sky for affirmation that this is, in fact, the correct way.

Nod.

Eyeroll.

...okay then.

Virginia meanders off in a general that-way direction, still uncertain of what the hell is happening, though at least she's not complaining about it any more. Hey, kids, this is what happens when you pass through the storm of shock onto the plateau of omgwtf.

Which is Sky's cue to turn into a breeze and drift away.
