"You are just giving me more reasons to kick those spirits' tail feathers. And how Elsa grows up is none of my concern. It is the Spirits' concern to fix what they did and not just to Elsa, but to everyone involved. And people wonder why I'm angry at them? I do not care what others think - I do care about trying to do what is best for others, not what is best for me though I could do that too and a lot of people will be screwed if I do so." Fernando begins to explain.
 
The Public Address system and Fernando's CB Radio, which he had on, break into loud static and then into a verbal message, "To all vehicle drivers and vehicle owners wanting to be part of the caravan leaving at 6o'clock, please come to the information tent to gather road information, line position, routes and roll-out times to be taken at 4o'clock. This meeting should only take a few minutes."
 
Fernando looks at his watch, "That's only two and a half hours away." Then he looks at Hikaru, "Everything done at your camper and the girls?"

"The spirits made this bed, they are to sleep in it. I'm not going to help them undo what they did. That's their problem. I'm here to help Jeanette in this journey and help anyone along the way who are in trouble and need to be saved - wherever and whenever possible." Fernando tells her, "Like Jeanette, I need my rest, as does Hondo and the girl driving that large  camper. And then the four of us will need go to this meeting later on and find out what is going on."

Note: This is written with Arik.
 
"The conversation lasted longer than I planned. I better get going." Hikaru leaves thinking history will repeat its self. At least she knows why Fernando and Hondo did not discuss the problem with Moro.
 
 
As Hikaru went to find Fernando, Jeanette returns to Hondo and Valentine's camper. "Moro, may I talk with you in private."
 
"Yes. Could you give me a minute?" Moro turns to Chihiro because of her experience with the younger residents at the orphanage. "Chihiro, could you watch over Elsa for me?"
 
Chihiro nods her head. "Sure."
 
"Thanks." Moro leaves with Jeanette. "What is it?"
 
"I was talking with Fernando. He said I am the time loop. When I asked him what he meant, he told me to ask you." Jeanette answers.
 
"Ask me?" Moro inquires.
 
"He specifically said ask the Spirits."
 
"I don't know what he means by that."
 
"How many times has the time loop been altered?"
 
"Four times that we know of." Moro answers. "It was altered the first time when you decided to return to your time when the mission is over. It was altered a second time when we altered history for the first time."
 
"Wait a minute." Jeanette stops Moro right there. "You altered history because my decision to return to my time after the mission was over broke the time loop. The time loop goes beyond the mission. That's why you offered me immortality, so I can see this thing through to the end. I needed a reason to accept immortality. What I don't understand is why did I accept immortality because of Elsa?"
 
"I can answer that question." Hikaru approaches. "You adopted Elsa because she could not return to her time. She can't return to her time because she's already been here four months. That does not include the time she will spend on this mission."
 
Moro lays all the cards on the table. "There are only two people we know of you'd accept immortality for. The ideal situation was to have Elsa betrothed to you. There's a problem with that. Both of you are female. That leaves us with two other possibilities. The first one is you adopt Elsa."
 
"I want to make sure I have this right. You traveled to the 1400s so you can legally establish the city state of Charlton. Legally representing a nation, your nation, gives you the legal right to forge an alliance with another nation. You forge an alliance with Arendelle during a time in which a nation can get a princess out of an alliance. You gave me Princess Elsa to adopt so I would accept immortality. The reason that I adopted Elsa is because she can't be sent back to her time."
 
"If you stayed in this time, none of that would have ever happened."
 
"What's the other possibility?" Jeanette asks.
 
"We imagine it's very simple; we haven't figured it out yet. That's why I want to talk to Fernando and Hondo."
 
"That will never happen." Hikaru says. "I asked Fernando a hypothetical question. I said, 'What if Moro needs help in figuring out a way to return Elsa to her time?'"
 
"I'm going to bed." Jeanette walks off.

NOTE: There should be more than enough to food as Val as taken the left overs from lunch and has made chicken salad and macaroni salad. If the canned veggies were found we could have soup along with the meal but since no canned veggies could be found, we just have to eat everything else besides the sandwiches.

Fernando sits down in his camper's driver's seat, pushing the seat back into a semi-reclined angle. It is not that he does not want to sleep, but can't. Too much noise, too much light, too much of everything. Even too much of girl.
 
"Ow... Macey!" He holds back from yelling.
 
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, daddy." Macey says to him.
 
"Damn, I swear. If there was TV or Internet I could set it up for you to look at. But there not much to do out here, I swear." He complains.
 
"TV?" Macey asks.
 
"It's a long story, but moving images on a screen with sound." He explains.
 
"Oh. I've heard of that but only law enforcement and the very rich has that. We have stage theater for the most part and that depends on the town. Some towns it is the church that does the staged theaters, other towns it is the bars." She explains.
 
"I see." He replies, then he asks, "Everything OK?"
 
"Angry at me, daddy?" Macey asks.
 
"No. Should I be?" He asks.
 
"No. I did nothing wrong. I'm just confused about stuff you said, like love is more than just sex. Stuff like that." She points out, and asks, "I offered you my cherri but you would not take it. Do you like me?"
 
"More than anything in this world, Macey. It is that as your father, taking your cherry might be acceptable to some but not to all. It depends on who and where, and what happens between a father and his daughter stays between a father and his daughter. Now, if this was another place and time, where you would be not by my daughter and were older, who knows... we might be doing those things as a couple on a date. But we are not that and as father and daughter, of things that need to be, we are to love each other as such. We as father and daughter can only take but so far in showing the other how much we love each other but that is it. You understand what I'm telling you?" He explains and asks.
 
"OK, I guess." Macey says.
 
"Still confused?" He asks.
 
"Yeah." She answers.
 
He holds her tightly against him, "We got a long ride ahead of us and we should eat during the ride, then you are to go to sleep afterwards. OK?"
 
"OK..." She replies.

After an hour or so of rest, Fernando shows Macey how to adjust the seat back on the passenger seat for it to recline so she can sleep in it later tonight. He sets up a couple of pillows and a blanket for her in the jump seat (The seat behind front seats in the camper) to give to her when it is time to for her to sleep.
 
Too bad there no canned soup to be found, Fernando could go for something to settle his stomach and headache right about now. And he's used the diet of a mountain gorilla, which is a small meal every 2 hours or so instead of fewer large meals. But he as to make his adjustments, and this is not he only time he's has to have had made such adjustments. With just a couple hours left, he decides to take Macey into the market for a walk to tire the both of them out and see what else they can buy, if anything - for themselves. It only lasts about a 1/2 hour as they return with Macey chowing down on another lemon ice slushie in a small cup. Fernando was told that soups are usually the first things to sell out in the market as what few sellers who do have them have a high demand for it. Maybe at the next town if he can get up early, he can go in and get some before they sell out.
