	"So, all we gotta do, is get you to the driver's seat!" I said, helping Diana to her feet. Can I add how difficult that is when your shorter that the person you're helping up?
"The driver's seat?" Diana asked.
"Yeah, this is your mind, and we gotta get your consciousness back in charge, and kick out whoever's currently driving." After I said that, Diana suddenly shrieked at me. She pointed at my hoof. 
"Oh, that's not good, I'd thought I'd have more time. AH well. I'm being pushed out, now that "Echo" knows what's going on. Look, you have to find her and get back in charge. Remember this, this is important," I said, fading quickly. "You can do-" And I was gone.



Dusk looked at Lyra.
"So how long does this usually-"
"Anything!" I shouted upon exiting Diana's mind. I look around, confirming I was indeed in reality. "Well, I hope she at least heard some of that."



"Author? Author?!" I called out into the Darkness. No response. 'Great.' I think to myself. 'I'm alone, and I have to kick someone out of my body. This is going to be great!' Sarcasm is the best, ain't it? OK, I've got my itinerary, so, it's time to get to work. Time to get walking! ... And I have NO IDEA where I'm going!

This is gonna be bad.



As I walk, I soon hear a voice. A sweet, innocent voice. It's... familiar.
"It's been a long walk," The voice says to me. "Why don't you go to sleep? It will be much easier than walking all that way, and only to do what? Go back to your normal, boring, lonely life?" 
"Yeah... You're- hey wait! You're... I don't know your name but you're behind this!" I shouted, I grinned as realization dawned on me. "And this means I'm heading the right way! Thanks for your help." I called over my shoulder as I broke into an excited run. 



I panted a few times. 
"I think... I'm gonna walk the rest of the way." I said, resting my hands on my knees. I was then interrupted by a loud roar. I slowly turned around, to see... a T-Rex. "Well screw you right back universe!" I said. Then, I did what any normal, sane person would do, run for my life! It occurred to me that I should have stood still, because the only thing I knew about T-Rexes was that their sight was based on movement. But, I had already started running. Wait.... what's that? I thought as I saw a freaking chasm quickly drawing near. I closed my eyes, and gulped.
"Geronimo!!!!"



"I did it! I finally did it!" I exclaimed. "It took me forever, and I had to jump a chasm, but I did it!" I had to overcome a lot, which was weird because I couldn't have made it in the real world.
Strange.
But anyways, I'm here, at the base of a tower, that must be my "control center." 
"Well, time to get to work!" I said to myself. I then pushed open the door, o find: "An elevator." I say, unamused. "A freaking, elevator. That's... pretty underwhelming." I step into the elevator, and it begins the ascent. As I go up, my vision begins to get blurry.
"If I wake up in some strange place, I swear to god!" I mutter under my breath.
