During her time in the Nowhere psychic network, Sophie had realised the reason that none of the adults' powers were working right on the Island: Nowhere Island was itself an incarnation of Jenny Nowhere, despite not really being sentient in a conventional sense, and her aura was cancelling out theirs. Thus, they realised that they simply had to build a boat and row out far enough from the shores. After dropping Over-There, Jimmy and Laura home, Jenny and Thymon finally returned to the Cupid Homeworld with Sophie. Upset to have missed a day at the office, Thymon was shifted back in time to the morning by Sophie, who then hugged Jenny one more time before returning to her own time-zone. Jenny only dwelled on her bittersweetness at having to wait nine more months to see her again briefly, before her mind settled on a new adventure.

As a teenager “a few years” older than [[Professor Awesome (Parallax Universe)|Professor Awesome]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[How Jenny First Met… (short story)|How Jenny First Met…]]'') who was around thirteen, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'') Sophie went on a trip across [[the Multiverse]] seeking various people who knew incarnations of [[Jenny Everywhere|her mother]] and asking them to tell her about their first meetings with their respective Jennies. She started with the [[Laura Drake (The Folly of Men)|Laura Drake]] of [[Jenny Cornelius]]'s [[Universe (The Folly of Men)|universe]], before visiting a [[Lord Grallyx (How Jenny First Met…)|Lord Grallyx]] who'd been imprisoned in [[the Wrong Rock|an asteroid]] in [[Universe (How Jenny First Met…)|a universe]] where “[[the Everywhere]]” won an interstellar war against him, getting him to talk to her by using her powers to reduce his waiting time to be released by one hundred years (though she simply achieved this by speeding time up from his subjective perspective, meaning he would get out no earlier from the perspective of the wider universe). | As a teenager “a few years” older than [[Professor Awesome (Parallax Universe)|Professor Awesome]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[How Jenny First Met… (short story)|How Jenny First Met…]]'') who was around thirteen, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Paying It Forward (novel)|Paying It Forward]]'') Sophie went on a trip across [[the Multiverse]] seeking various people who knew incarnations of [[Jenny Everywhere|her mother]] and asking them to tell her about their first meetings with their respective Jennies.

She then headed to the [[Parallax Universe]] to meet [[Professor Awesome (Parallax Universe)|Professor Awesome]], alias Eric, who had been driven to a {{w|Sukkot|Sukkot}} meal at the [[Emanuel temple]] by [[David Lowe]]. She found the teenaged [[mad scientist]] talking with [[Herbie Popnecker]], whom she already knew as they got candy from the same supernatural place. Though confused at her general existence, Eric developed a mild crush on the older girl. She playfully challenged him to find a way to contact her even though she hadn't given him her number — having previously dropped hints that her mother was a version of Jenny Everywhere, but not told him outright.

Some time later Eric had an accident with an explosive left behind by a [[Octobriana|careless visitor]] during one of Jenny’s adventures, and at exactly the right time Sophie reappeared to give him a magical healing lollipop of the kind [[Herbie Popnecker]] enjoyed, mentioning in passing, “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|plush toy]] to remember her by, and [[Shift|shifted]] away. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Preludes and Knick-knacks (short story)|Preludes and Knick-knacks]]'') | |||
Back at home, she concealed the remaining two magical lollipops where only she or a Thymon could easily get to them, so that they would be ready when the time was right for Eric to eat them. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Treat Counting (short story)|Treat Counting]]'') | |||
Sometime after this she would hear from [[Tiny Thymon|her cousin]] that Eric had built a shift engine and left his universe, but had been returned home safely. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Doll’s Source (short story)|The Doll’s Source]]'') | |||
Sophie went to a Norse [[Althing]] to talk to a respected skald and seer there, in hopes of finding hints about Eric’s future without conventional prophecy. While there were sagas featuring “Erick the Mortal Blooded, cleverest of his generation” none were particularly useful to her, though many did include some interaction with the “Princess of Ages, daughter of the Lord of the Turning of Seasons.” This conversation was interrupted when she felt someone else [[shift]] into the universe nearby. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Session of Mystics (short story)|Session of Mystics]]'') | |||
The other visitor turned out to be [[Drove_of_the_Demesmaekerite-Dyed_Discordias|familiar]] to her, leading to the next tale. | |||
One day Eric came home to a letter on his door from Sophie, inviting him to meet her elsewhere in the city early in the morning the next day. When he got off the bus she took him to a nearby park where she had concealed a [[Smog Ship|peculiar dimensional transport]], which she explained she couldn’t take home or leave unguarded – so she planned to blow it up! She enlisted his help to rig up a time delay mechanism to make the machine shift to another dimension after they had gotten out, and then set off some dynamite. After doing this, they had all day to spend togther. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Game of Two (short story)|A Game of Two]]'') | |||
