=== Meeting Herbie and Sophie === | === Meeting Herbie and Sophie === | ||
Noting that the boy didn't seem to have many friends his age, [[Eric's mother]] and [[David Lowe]] agreed to have David drive Eric to a “dinner thing” at the Emanuel temple on {{w|Sukkot|Sukkot}} week. After the meal, Eric was initially bored, but then ran into [[Herbie Popnecker]] and [[Sophie Everytime (38167th Universe)|Sophie Everytime]], taking a shine to the latter. When he caught up with them to take Eric home, David greeted Herbie casually, having known him for “some time”, but was surprised at Sophie, perceiving that she was someone “special” but never having met the likes of her before. As he and Eric drove home, David told him what little he knew about Herbie, but confessed to her that he was unfamiliar with Sophie, though he seemed optimistic about the young mad scientist's chances of figuring out how to to contact her.

=== Seeing Sophie again === | |||
Some time later he had an accident with an explosive left behind by a [[Octobriana|careless visitor]] during one of Jenny’s adventures. At exactly the right time Sophie reappeared and gave him a magical healing lollipop of the kind Herbie enjoyed, admitting, “You can’t get them around here.” She then told him she didn’t think she should be there yet, gave him a [[Thymon Plushy|strange plush toy]], and [[Shift|shifted]] away.

Reasoning that Sophie might be in a nearby universe, and that he’d run into her at temple the first time, he built his own shift engine and tried to voyage to temples in neighboring worlds. Instead he found himself in a [[The Void|strange emptiness]] where he encountered an [[Tiny Thymon|gargantuan eldritch abomination]] which he recognized as matching the toy Sophie had given him. To his surprise it knew him by name, warned him he was out of his universe too early, and told him, “You will return home. And tell Sophie that Tiny says hi.” Eric instantly found himself back where he started, with a broken shift engine but a very welcome prophecy that he and Sophie would see each other again.
