Author's Chapter Notes:
Nonvor takes a Newtopia boy back into the giant world's past, to meet the younger self of her old friend.
One more year went by, which then saw Kayte released from Ambloome’s jail.
Though she hadn’t lost her appetite, the taste seemed rather stale,
With the fear of going back to prison there like something chronic.
Her desire to make her stomach someone’s jail was quite ironic.

Meanwhile Jenyfer and Braisyde had a daughter one year old.
Maura had her mother’s sweetness, and they didn’t need to scold.
She responded well to simple baby talk, and kept obeying.
Both her parents would delight in watching their young baby playing.

Then they hired a babysitter in his twenties, who was free,
In the evenings, when they went on dates. His eyes lit up with glee,
Every time the child was near him. With young children he was gifted
Any worries for their daughter’s care were well and truly lifted.

Nonvor made another visit from the future, and she took
An old friend of hers named Aradee, to take a proper look
At Newtopia in present time (that’s Aradee’s). The honour
Flowed from earthlings (at the old queen) as their gazes fell upon her.

On the outskirts of the city, Aradee was quite amazed
At the colonists, and then the giant woman gladly gazed
At a boy of 17. She asked if he was very busy.
Ken said “no,” and thought the sight of her was making him quite dizzy.

Nonvor went to see Queen Ambloome, while her friend invited Ken
To a visit back at her place; and she told the young lad, when
They arrived, that she was 47, still completely single,
And had never met someone, who really made her senses tingle.

“But I think you’re so adorable. Now would it be amiss,
If I gave a so much younger man a great big giant kiss?”
She enquired. He said, “It wouldn’t be amiss. It’s what I’ve needed
In the disappointing years which so far have preceded.”

So she kissed him. Then he asked if he could stay with Aradee,
Since, as long as he would live, he didn’t think he’d ever see
Such a lovely woman elsewhere. Then she said, “I’m idealistic,
And your compliment about me is appealingly realistic.

Back when I was so much younger (though you think I’m stunning now),
I was absolutely gorgeous, and I made a well-kept vow,
That I wasn’t going to sleep around, nor be a shameless hussy.
I would wait for someone special, and I’ve always been so fussy.

You’re that special person, Ken, but I would like to just rewrite
All those years that I have waited, if we carefully practice sleight,
Not of hand, but of the timeline. We’ll ask Nonvor for the first thing:
That we’ll need: a ride through time for you, to years that need reversing.

As a teenager, I lived here, with my parents, who’ve since died.
Would you like to court my younger self, who’d then become your bride?
I’d have Nonvor take you back, and then you’d have the chance to meet me
As I was back then. I’m sure she’d fall in love with you, young sweetie.”
