SECOND CHANCES NET

I don't really think the candle listened to me, but it was fun anyway. Didn't much like the cake but I never do no more.

I got tickets for an escape room. I don't know what they are but maybe we could try it.

So what we've learned was what the cupcakes were double-magic. The whole thing with the candle and then we got something! NEAT.

Guess who's got two thumbs and tickets to Disneyland?

👍😊👍

Pick a weekend and we'll go so no one misses school. DISNEYLAND.

I still can’t quite believe it. After all these years, I finally got one of these babies!

Of course, it’s out of town at some lake, but who cares? I’ve wanted one for as long as I can remember! Who wants to come for a ride?

At some point we should take a weekend away, spend time with your new pony and have a night at a lake house and check out my new gift too? What do you think?

Are spontaneous art installations common here? I do not know who our resident artist is that has been displaying their work in the hallways of the building over recent days, but your portraits are quite lovely.

Now it really feels like fall. My grandmother always knits us these sweaters for the hols.

It's really uncomfortable how long these candles can burn. I finally said screw it and made the stupid wish. I know better but, well, sometimes I don't always do better.

It's a little bit big on me, but it's good to have a bit of Mom here.

I don't know how either of you feel about seeing Asgard again, but I might've made a wish on one of those cupcakes and...

Well. Look. There's a VR headset thing in my room and it's. Just. Asgard. My Asgard, I think, but I doubt much is different from what both of you knew. If you want to borrow it, you can. Just make sure you put it back.

Well damn, if I'd known the whole make a wish thing was for real, I would have put some thought into it.

Know anyone who might be willing to help me eat all this?

I knew there was something up with those cupcakes. Unless this is something completely unrelated. If that's the case, I am not sure who to thank but 'this' happens to be... well-

I have been gifted a horse apparently. A photograph of the lovely creature was left for me this morning. Marisa, you would have- What a beauty the little thing is. How about ideas for a proper name?

While having a piece of home is a comfort, I have decidedly mixed emotions about the gift I received this morning. Especially as the gift is an integral part of said home's structure and without it I hope the building hasn't collapsed.

Despite my loneliness, I'm glad I didn't receive cardboard standees of my family.

So logically looking back, the candle is flickering, of course you make a wish.

But at the time, my only concern was Cupcake Good.

And the cupcake was, indeed, good.

Apparently not seriously wishing someone that you miss a lot could see how ridiculous this place is means finding a life size cardboard cut out of them in the corner of your bedroom when you wake up in the middle of the night to pee?

Thanks for scaring the shit out of me, Fake Charles. 😩 What the fuck, this place is so weird.

I'm thinking about applying for this internship. But it's with the FBI, so they do pretty extensive background checks. Problem being I don't have a background here. Reggie said the government should just be able to fix that since that's what they do but for one I don't trust them and for two the FBI is part of the government.

I figured you two were my best shot at having some idea of what I could do about that.

How do you feel about coming over and stopping me from talking myself out of something for a while?

You know you've been repressing things when you walk into your kitchen, see a box that wasn't there before, think it's from your wacky roommate—only to then remember you don't have one anymore.

"You" is me, if that wasn't clear.

I never would have admitted this to his face, but I kind of miss the Doctor's clutter. And the person too. Remembering made me miss a lot of things, actually.

At least the cupcake was good.

So, the cupcake that just randomly appeared. That's weird magic that probably shouldn't be trusted, right?

Good news everyone! 🎉🥳🎉

The cupcake that showed up? Didn't kill ME. Didn't knock me out for days. It was pretty delicious, actually. Is today a holiday I don't know about? 🤔

(Did I do those right, Enid?)

Okay Reggie just asked me out and I'm freaking out in an almost 100% good way but also in an I've Never Done the Whole Dating Thing and The Last Guy I Was Into Was In a Party That Tried to Kill Me and My Friends and I'm being stupid because it's Reggie and he's way better than that tool he's amazing and he's so so sweet but still freaking out send help and cupcakes and possibly shrimp idk. But not together, that's too far even for me.

It's been five days, and I still want to drink about it. Or fight about it.

You?

I've been through multiple dimensions. In every single one there was a Stephen Strange and a Christine Palmer. And in every one, he lost her.

I don't know why I expected this one to be any different.

I'm grateful America is back, I honestly am. But I can't say I ever saw myself doing the single dad thing. I guess I should pretend I'm glad there's only one of them now.
