Description ' Reginald however did not 'remove' himself from the tree. Well...at least not in the manner they would have both preferred. What he did do was launch his arms into the air with a deafening whoop of triumph and perform a little victory dance of sorts right then and there, bouncing happily on the dying branch.

The final pop of breaking wood was as loud as a gunshot.

For one terrible moment he was suspended in midair, falling. Alice uttered a short sharp scream and reached for him on the foolish hope that she could somehow grab and whisk him to safety. It was a wasted effort; she had only a last heartbreaking glimpse of his startled face before he plunged below her window and disappeared from view. Sheet-white hands clapped over her face in horror. She heard the branch clatter below and braced herself for the bone-cracking thud that was sure to follow.

It didn't.

Ten seconds passed in silence. Fifteen. Twenty. Thirty. Alice finally gathered what was left of her nerves and peeked through her fingers. The first (and only) thing she saw was a pair of inconspicuous hands clinging to her windowsill. Some freakish feat of agility had saved that 'impudent freckled arse' from a messy reunion with the stony earth.

"Reginald!" The relief in her voice was tangible. He didn't seem any worse for wear despite his close call. His expression was one of endearing perplexity rather than the fright that would claim most folks at such a moment. He ogled up at her, utterly and adorably bewildered. "Ooh. Gravity works." '

~When Curiosity Met Insanity [link] , Chapter 8, by

Again, I've become utterly obsessed with this fanfiction. Have you read it yet like I told you? What?! OBEY ME, FOOL!

...I love this scene, and I thought it was a pity Bri-Chan didn't draw it. So, I took it upon myself to do a horribly atrocious rendition of it. Hope she likes it!

Batty said the same thing in Ferngully.

But, I prefer Mr. Magorium's gravity statement.

"The Laws of Gravity have begun to apply."

"Gravity Works"? By any chance did you get that from "Ferngully"?

y'know.... I thought that too when I first read it.... but I think he's saying it in a different sort of tone.... could still have been Ferngully inspired though.

Yep that line is used as a nod to Ferngully. I loved that movie when I was a kid. I'm kinda surprised and pleased that so many people recognized the line! I didn't know the film had real fanbase out there. LOL I don't feel so alone now.

Rain27 In reply to Schweetie [2007-09-11 21:03:23 +0000 UTC]

Now now those things take time! Nobody falls in love quickly despite what movies and books depict. Puppy love, yes. Attracted, yes. That can happen in a matter of minutes. Love? No. Especially with those two. XD

Heck Reginald has never fallen in love with anyone at all (despite being 140+ years old.) Neither has Alice - but! - only because she's young and hasn't been in the dating pool for very long.
