Excerpt from: The Wrong Door
Polly Plummer was out in her garden when suddenly there was a boy looking over the wall of the garden next door. She was surprised because there never had been any children in that house, but only Mr. Ketterley and Miss Ketterley, a brother and sister, old bachelor and old maid, living together.

Excerpt from: Rogers’ Odessey
He was ready for the next step in the journey.


Asgard
He appeared in an empty corridor. 'Of course. It doesn't need to go back into Ms. Foster,' he thought. He was uneasy about that. But it also needed to go somewhere Melekith wouldn't get his hands on it either. He needed to find a somewhere else remote. 'Maybe talk to Heimdall first,' he thought. He was sure that Asgard's guardian already knew he was there.


He ran along the Rainbow Road.

Excerpt from: Spider Quinn
“No, you won't. We can't hang around, man. We've got a world tour! World tour!” Max Tyler said.

“Then we'd better find a hammer. Come on, Nick,” Jesse said, before leaving.

“Let 'em go,” Daria said. “They'll give it a good home. What world tour?”

“We got a gig in Freemont, 100 miles away,” Trent answered.

“It’s a small world after all,” Daria commented

“If I could talk to the animals. Anyway, I told you about that, remember? I'm the road management coordinator?”

“You mean we're paying you 20 bucks to drive us.”

“Let's not cloud the horizon with a lot of semantic hair-splitting,”

“You ought to come along, Daria,” Trent said.

“Forget it! I tried. She's house-sitting,” Jane said.

“My mother is away for the weekend, I told her I’d keep Quinn from turning the place into a modelling agency.”

“Too bad. It’s gonna be cool,” Trent said.

“Yeah, I was there with my Dad… once…” Daria said, trailing off. His death was still rather fresh in her mind. “Anyway, isn’t it a lot duller than Lawndale?”

“Hey, not after the Spiral gets there! We're criminales! We live life on the edge! You go up against the Spiral, we're gonna take you down!” Max said.

“Even if it’s SpiderGirl?” Daria asked.

“I bet she’s a bored cheerleader with too much free time,” Trent said.

“That doesn’t explain what she’s been seen doing,” Daria said.

“Maybe.”


Elsewhere in Lawndale, SpiderGirl had captured a would-be thief.

“Like, who would try to rob a store in broad daylight?” she asked him.

“It’s early in the morning on an overcast day,” the thief responded.

“I guess so,” the young superheroine said as she looked down the alley the store opened onto. “Now, before I call the cops, I’d like to know if you’re working alone, or are following orders or whatever.”

“Why would you want to know that?”

“I’ll tell the cops, duh! Maybe you’ll get off lightly in court,” SpiderGirl said.

“Right. It was this person…” the thief started before shaking his head. “I don’t know their name. But I do know they’re operating out of Freemont!”

“Freemont? Isn’t that a dull town in the middle of nowhere?”

“He said it would lower suspicion.”

“I see,” SpiderGirl said. “Well, he’ll find that he isn’t beyond my reach.”

“Wait!”

“Yes?” SpiderGirl said as she wrote her note for the police.

“That’s all I know.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I don’t know what he would do when he finds out I told you,” the thief said,

“I wouldn’t worry about that,” SpiderGirl said. She then swung away.
