46.154 - 102.189 Madame Fortuna (Agnes DeVito)

But her time ran out. And now, that girl is missing. Welcome to the seer's tent. I am Madame Fortuna, the seer with all the... Uh, aren't you a little young? Like 40 years too young? Who dares question... Are you serious? You two? River and Sam.

102.85 - 104.212 River

I'm sorry, do we know you?

104.493 - 128.482 Madame Fortuna (Agnes DeVito)

Who are River and Sam? And what happened to your accent? Your accent? Your accent? Of all the traveling carnivals in all of the world, can you believe teen Mr. and Dr. Anders walked into mine? And dressed like a biker and an astronaut, no less. Are the adult James and Monica still big into Halloween, Brinley? Because it was wild.

130.065 - 150.637 Madame Fortuna (Agnes DeVito)

I know it's probably weird that I'm writing you letters, but you told me I write a bunch in the future, so I figured, why wait? And before you get all Brinley on me, yes, I know you won't read these for like, I don't know, another 30 years. That's not the point. I just need to get my thoughts out. Let's see where to start.

151.598 - 178.915 Madame Fortuna (Agnes DeVito)

Since you and the Anders family left in the portal on Elixir Key, I've been searching for my parents. Okay, once more unto the breach. Or portal. Frankly, it's been hard. Lonely. Still can't find any information on where they moved to. Yes, hi. I'm looking for an address and phone number for Marie Cavendish. That's C-A-V-E-N-I-S-H. Hello, internet. Can you get invented already?

Chapter 2: Who is Madame Fortuna and what is her significance?

300.833 - 307.142 Madame Fortuna (Agnes DeVito)

I am Madame Fortuna, the most powerful seer money can buy. You have money, right?

0

307.443 - 308.224 River

Of course we do.

0

308.765 - 311.128 Madame Fortuna (Agnes DeVito)

Then tell me, what can I do for you?

0

311.569 - 312.851 River

Shouldn't you already know that?

0

313.492 - 345.888 Madame Fortuna (Agnes DeVito)

It's best to hear it in your own words, but I assume it has to do with the future. It does. See, we've both been having these dreams, but they aren't like regular dreams. They're more like glimpses, voices. What kind of voices? Madame Fortuna, can you really see what's going to happen to us in the future? Universe, you have done it again. What? Yes, I am quite certain.

347.051 - 371.057 Madame Fortuna (Agnes DeVito)

I know exactly what's going to happen to you. He ends up in another accident the day I was volunteering at the hospital.

371.277 - 372.138 River

Crazy, huh?

372.158 - 392.002 Madame Fortuna (Agnes DeVito)

Who is to say what is crazy? See, I love science, and I can't wait to become a doctor so I can volunteer with the rescue squad, the research hospital... Can you believe it? This dope got himself into another motorcycle accident and ended up in the ER with a sprained wrist. Where wouldn't you know it? Monica was volunteering. Talk about fate. Unless he did it to spend time with her.

392.703 - 400.153 Madame Fortuna (Agnes DeVito)

Which is kind of romantic. In a psychotic sort of way. I did tell him there were easier ways to get my attention. I would agree with that.

Chapter 3: How does Kady become a fortune teller at the carnival?

654.277 - 666.13 Dr. Anders

Is it a portal to a different time or place or... A completely different dimension? There's something off here. Mom? Maybe you can feel it, too.

0

666.15 - 677.884 Cyrus

Mom! Can you hear me? You see Monica Anders? She's there, in a lab under Whittier Corp.

0

677.904 - 678.304

Cyrus is there, too.

0

678.324 - 699.717 Cyrus

With Brink! Brinkley! Holliday, you just touched the water and it didn't recede. What does that mean? Penn's portal is thinning the membrane between here and the world below. It's open to us! Mom? Monica? Dr. Anders? Can you hear me?

0

699.737 - 699.977 Dr. Anders

Mom?

699.997 - 739.054 Cyrus

Holiday, what are you doing? What if I can reach her? See? The water is letting me in. You're going in. I am too. No way, dear. Solo job. Brimley is there. If you go in... You can't stop me from following! Not a chance! What happened to the door? What is that? The portal is closing! It's surging! It's like something is trying to come through! Stay there! You can't go without me! Watch me. Mom!

739.074 - 755.095 Dr. Anders

Monica! Monica, it's me! Holiday! Did you hear that? Someone saying, Holiday? What does it mean? I don't know, but I feel like it might mean everything. Holiday?

755.115 - 755.275

Holiday?

760.823 - 765.147 Madame Fortuna (Agnes DeVito)

Hear us, oh mistress of time and space. What's happening?

Chapter 4: What unexpected visitors enter Madame Fortuna's tent?

788.016 - 793.082 Cyrus

Mom, can you hear me? Cyrus? You have to get out of the lab. Get away from the portal.

0

794.564 - 795.846 Dr. Anders

But someone is calling to me.

0

796.046 - 799.831 Cadence

Mom, stay back.

0

799.851 - 808.962 River

Stop it! Close the door. I'm not sure I know how.

0

Watch out!

809.202 - 809.923 Madame Fortuna (Agnes DeVito)

What's that? I don't know.

810.684 - 814.388 River

Something fell through the roof. It's...

814.621 - 829.205 Madame Fortuna (Agnes DeVito)

Well, Brinley, just when you think things are finally falling into place... That's what you call a rough landing. The future comes crashing through your tent. No way. Who are you?
