Reuben’s Trabel Journal – Entry #1
Location: Home (for now)
Date: The day before the portal opens

Dear Journal,
Teddy and I are packed, excited and perched by the door, just waiting on Professor Whooot to gib the all-clear. Dougie says France smells like croissants and labender, and honestly? I’m already hungry.

Mom helped me fold my clothes and reminded me twice to write her as soon as we arribe. Barry rolled his eyes and said I better not come back wiff a “weird accent,” but Baxter says he expects a full report on French pastry technique.

I told Fish I would keep his cheese map safe, and in return he gave me a wedge ob somefing soft and stinky “for emergencies.”

Tomorrow, we go. Fru the time-space continuum, first to Dougies house, then ober the moon (maybe), and straight to France. I don’t know what we’ll find, but I’m bringing an open heart, an empty notebook, and at least four snacks.

Wish us luck! xoxo
