Author's Chapter Notes:
Ambloome-A, Lee-John and Jenyfer travel to the parallel world of giants, to meet Ambloome-B and her husband and daughter.
One day Jenyfer was visiting her giant world alone,
Sharing news with Ambloome (her old friend) of how they all seemed prone
To adventures both on earth and their own world, which though demanding,
Served to strengthen their relationships and further understanding.

“That’s been true of some of them,” said Ambloome, “I still can’t forget,
That my mother’s in the future. Even with her amulet,
She can never bring her husband back, because of such a thickness
In the heads of those who poisoned Flyte. They bore the greater sickness.”

“I can’t quantify your anger there,” said Jenyfer, “But still
You’ve built colonies and LATERALDATE has helped perfect the skill
That has come with inter-dating. We’ve both married twice, resulting
From our efforts, and we saved the earth from their Cabilo’s cult thing.”

“Yes I know. I mainly focus on the good. At least this time,
Earth’s destructive ways of thinking didn’t lead to any crime.
Commencroft-of-A and Eustace played their issues in the courtroom,
And perhaps her double may have found a younger, rather short groom.”

“It’s amazing, Ambloome,” Jenyfer was quick to keep on track,
“There’s another Ambloome out there. Will you still allow some slack
To the scientist Len Lyste, to let our people use devices
(Type Two amulets he makes) and sells for manageable prices?”

“For the moment,” Ambloome said, “I closed the old dimension lanes
Through to earth from most of us, because its people were the banes
Of our peace, in folks like Alban that Barbarian. You know what?
Maybe losing mother made me look on life here like a robot.”

Then Lee-John and Ambloome asked Len Lyste to make (for them) Type Twos.
Just as soon as they were ready, Ambloome took the chance to use
Their new amulets to visit giant world-B for a meeting
With the other Ambloome. Soon the group were chatting during eating.

Ambloome-A was there to satisfy her curiosity
At the living proof of how perhaps her life by then would be,
If she’d married someone giant sized, and they had had a baby.
And would Ambloome-B have fallen for an earth sized partner? Maybe.

“Is there someone here like me as well?” asked Jenyfer, since she
Had been Ambloome-A’s best friend at school, since they were in Year Three.
“If there is, I’ve never met her,” Ambloome-B replied, “But searching
Is your privilege. We’ll have peace between our worlds with nothing lurching.”

They could not locate a Jenyfer in Ambloome-B’s home town.
That was not to say there wasn’t one. But she could not shrink down,
If she did exist, nor cross through time and space. But maybe one day,
They would open other doors without the fear of swords and gun play.

In the meantime, Krees was visited by Roslanne, who had done
All those hurtful things he’d mentioned, back when Jenyfer had won
His full trust (in Ambloome LVII). She had left him hurting,
When her answer to the problems she had caused had been: deserting.
