IT WAS
SILENT FOR A WHILE,THEN THE KING SPOKE AGAIN.....
"WHAT ELSE
DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ME,
'MEINE JUNGE'?"
HIS LARGE LUMINIOUS
YET PENETRATING EYES CAUGHT ME BY SURPRISE.....
"I
KNOW THAT YOU WERE ABUSED....AS A CHILD....BY YOUR LATE FATHER,'KING
MAXIMILLIAN II'...."I
BREATHED IN DEEPLY...
THE KING HAD ROSED UP
TO ME...AND STARED AT ME...FOR A WHILE,THEN SPOKE:
"YOU KNOW
SO MUCH ABOUT ME,YET.....I DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT YOU.....
'MEINE JUNGE'....."LUDWIG LOOKED DEEP INTO
MY EYES....AND STROKED MY BROW.....,
THEN REALITY HIT US BOTH
LIKE A PILE OF BRICKS!
JUST THEN,REALITY HIT US
BOTH....LIKE A TON OF BRICKS! THERE WAS A LOUD KNOCK UPON
THE DOOR,
AND AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE,
I GATHERED UP THE "LEFT OVERS" AND TRASH, AND WENT TO GO
HIDE IN ANOTHER ROOM, NEARBY...WHILE LUDWIG WENT TO SEE WHO IT
WAS......LUCKILY FOR ME, IT WAS MY TIME TO COME BACK TO MY
WORLD; THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY....BUT BEFORE I LEFT, I DECIDED TO
TAKE A PEEP AT WHO WAS AT THE DOOR.....AND I KNEW
RIGHT AWAY, IT WAS TIME TO GO!
"OH..SHIT,IT'S 'THE QUEEN
MOTHER'!TIME FOR ME TO BOOK!" I
SPOKE SOFTLY,AND QUICKLY DISAPPEARED BEFORE SHE EVEN HAD A CHANCE TO CATCH
ME IN THE SPARE ROOM!
I'VE ONLY BEEN BACK
FOR LESS THAN AN HOUR, AND PLUS; I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO SAY "AUF~WIEDERSHEN"
TO THE GUY! OH WELL, I JUST HOPE 'THE KING" WON'T BE TOO
"P.O. ANGERY" WITH ME...
UNTIL NEXT TIME............LATER!
P.S.; I'VE
BEEN THINKING ABOUT BRINGING SOME
"KFC~FRIED CHICKEN DINNER
SPECIAL", NEXT TIME, I COME VISIT!.....................LATER!
AUGUST 30th,2006 / 10:32am
Dear Diary; Great News! I've Just
Won a Round Trip to Europe! Plus Ten Thousand Euro-Dollars in
Spending Money! I know Where I'm Going...."MAD KING LUDWIG'S CASTLES
IN BAVARIA"! OOPS! Will I BE ABLE TO SEE "THE KING" FROM
"THE PRESENT BAVARIA" into "THE 19th CENTURY BAVARIA", Without ANY-ONE BECOMING
THE WISER ON BOTH SIDES?
I Guess I Could Take
a Short Visit to "THE KING",Before I Go....
And it's so funny,though.....I've
just read on page 159:Chapter21;
"A DISASTEROUS ENGAGEMENT."
I REALLY WANT TO CONGRAT
THE KING UPON HIS CHOICE OF A BRIDE.......BUT THEN AGAIN,WHY SHOULD
I ? When HE'S GONNA "GO AWOL", ANY-WAY? "LOUIE-LOUIE" AIN'T GONNA GO
THROUGH WITH THE WEDDING,LET ALONE MARRY ANY WOMAN,FOR THAT MATTER,ANY
WAY!
Might as well "Bound up The
Boobs,put a sock in My jocks,and go
"FA-MULAN",Before I get ready
to go,again.....
Good Thing I Ordered
Some FAMILY SIZED "KFC" SIZED DINNER MEAL,with Desserts and A 3 Litre
of COKE! I just Hope I don't run into any of those "DOUBLE-TROUBLE:THE
QUEEN MARIE and That Power Mad Prussian;OTTO von BIZMARCK"!
Well, Let Me Go....
I Should Be Back Within
a couple of hours....more or less...Maybe Three Hours Tops.
You Know,I Have to Be
Back Here to use the Toilet. Don't want to be "CAUGHT AND
DISGRACED",You Know......
AUGUST 30th,2006 / 11:00pm /
DEAR DIARY;I WENT BACK TO SEE
"THE KING" ALRIGHT...BUT THIS TIME I
DIDN'T COME ALONE! TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT, I HAD TO
GO TELL LUDWIG I WASN'T GOING TO SEE HIM FOR A WHILE, BECAUSE
I'M GOING "ON VACATION"....NATURALLY,HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEANT,AND
NEARLY HAD A FIT! ....AND IT WENT ON LIKE THIS:
LUDWIG:"PLEASE....DON'T
GO,JUST YET! WHEN AND WHERE ARE YOU GOING? WHEN WILL YOU RETURN?"
ME:"THIS IS GOING TO
SOUND RATHER CRAZY,MON ROI...BUT I AM GOING...OR BETTER PUT...I AM COMING HERE...TO BAVARIA..."
BEFORE THE KING
EVEN GAVE ME TIME TO FINISH MY SENTENCE....HE JUST JUMPED
UP FOR JOY, AND NATURALLY "ASSUMED" I WAS COMING OVER TO SPEND
MY VACATION TIME WITH HIM! WHEN IN FACT, IT WASN'T...."
I SWALLOWED HARD,AND LOWERED
MY HEAD ,AND DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING FOR A WHILE....UNTIL LUDWIG CAME
OVER TO ME. HE WANTED TO KNOW WHY I SEEMED, SO SAD....
ME:"M'LORD MON ROI...I AM
COMING HERE...BUT,IT WILL BE OVER A HUNDRED YEARS IN THE FUTURE...MY TIME ZONE,THE TWENTY FIRST CENTURY,WHERE YOUR CASTLES...NOT
YET BUILT IN THIS TIME,JUST YET!"
LUDWIG RUSHED OVER
TO ME,AND GAVE ME A BIG BEAR-HUG-EMBRACE...THEN, HE STOPPED...AND STARED
AT ME RATHER STRANGE-LIKE....AND SUDDENLY LOOSENED HIS GRIP UPON ME....AND
THEN HE BEGAN TO SMILE, IN A RATHER WICKED KIND OF WAY....
AND THEN IT JUST CAME
TO ME IN A FLASH;
I HAD FORGOTTEN TO BOUND-UP
MY BOOBS!
I WAS SO IN A HURRY,TO
GET TO THE KING,
THAT I HAD HOPED THAT
LUDWIG WOULDN'T SUSPECT THAT I WAS A "FRAU"...BUT THE WAY
HE WAS SMILING AT ME..."IN THAT WEIRD WAY",MADE ME THOUGHT OTHER-WISE!
THEN LUDWIG BEGAN TO SPEAK:
" 'JUNGE'...YOU HAVE
TOLD ME MANY THINGS ABOUT YOUR FUTURE WORLD OF THIS 21st
CENTURY FROM WENCE YOU COME FROM...AND YET, YOU HAVE NOT TOLD
ME OF 'DIE FRAU...THE WOMEN'...OF YOUR WORLD, HAVE 'THEY' TOO,CHANGED WITHIN
THE PAST HUNDRED OR SO YEARS?"
I DECIDED TO
TELL HIM,ANYWAY....
"M'LORD,MON ROI...THE WOMEN
IN MY WORLD HAVE CHANGED SO RADICALLY WITHIN THE PAST CENTURY & A HALF,THAT MANY WOMEN RUN BUSINESSES,DRIVE CARS;HORSE-LESS
CARRIAGES,FLY AIR PLANES,ARE SELF-MADE MILLIONAIRES...EVEN BILLIONAIRES...AND ARE EVEN IN POLITICS!AND EVEN THE GREAT
QUEEN VICTORIA'S FUTURE GREAT,GREAT,GRAND-CHILD;
QUEEN ELIZABETH II,IS ON THE THRONE,BACK HOME,IN
MY TIME ZONE,EVEN AS I SPEAK TO YOU NOW!AND IN THE 21st CENTURY,GERMANY HAS THE FIRST WOMAN CHANCELLOR,ALSO!AND THE CLOTHES
WOMEN WEAR HAS 'CHANGED-UP' WITH THE TIMES,TOO AS WELL! DIE FRAUEN DON'T JUST WEAR DRESSES AND SKIRTS,ANYMORE...BUT TROUSERS,PANTS,BREECHES,AND
SHORT SKIRTS,AND EVEN A LEDERHOSEN,TOO! YOU NAME IT!
AGAIN,LUDWIG LOOKED
AT ME...THIS TIME HE HAD A BIG WIDE GRIN...I MEAN "BIG GRILL
FOR DAYS"! I SWEAR, HIM AND "MR. ED" COULD BE RELATED IN "THAT DEPARTMENT"...!
"SO...'MEIN JUNGE'...,YOU
DO KNOW ALL ABOUT ME,AND YET...THERE IS A CHANCE I WOULD
FINALLY KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU!
AND BY THE WAY...'MEIN
JUNGE' WHEN WERE YOU FINALLY GOING TO ADMIT THAT YOU YOUR-SELF
ARE A WOMAN ALL THIS TIME,HMMM??!!!!"
To Make
a Long Story Short,I Told "THE KING" The Whole Entire
Truth...And it went on Like This:
"How did I Know That
'THE AMOIRE' was 'A TIME MACHINE',Your Grace? And I Just Took 'It'as a joke! So,I Went in,Spoke The
Year and Date...but,I
Had Some Candy in My Mouth,and Instead
of Going Back to 'THE HOUSEWIVES MARKET;YEAR 1965',I Wind-up
Here in
Your Castle;'HOHENSCHWANGAU';1865! Can You Believe it? And...what's even more funnier,is when you assumed I was a Boy,When
in Fact from where I Come from,THIS IS HOW I DRESS at HOME,IN THE 21st CENTURY!" THEN,I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT CRAZY "OTTO VON
BIZMARCK",AND SPOKE QUICKLY! "Your Grace,I Beg of YOU....PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE,DON'T TELL ABOUT ME,TO PRINZ OTTO VON BIZMARCK!
YOU JUST DON'T KNOW HOW CRAZY THAT PRUSSIAN IS! IF HE KNEW THAT I CAME FROM THE FUTURE,AND ABOUT FUTURE WAR-FARE,OH SHIT...WHAT
HE WOULD DO TO ME!"
And Strangely Enough,Ludwig
just sat down in His Chair and laughed him-self silly!(and I thought I had a silly-crazy ass laugh!)Afterwards,Ludwig just
smiled at me...and then finally spoke:
" 'Mein Guten
Frau'...Are You...A Frau...or A Fraulein?"
I answered quickly:"I'm a Fraulein,Your Grace...No,I'm
not Married..."
"And Your
Name....What Name do You Truly go by? Surely,You do not go by That
'Louis Riche',do you not?"
"No,Your
Grace...I don't. My Real Name is Natalie Jones,of San Francisco,California;Year 2006....Your
Grace."
Ludwig Just Stared at Me,Still
Some-what Smiling,Seemingly not Angry at all...But Looking Amused at Me...like I was a new Oddity,or a New Toy to get ready
to Play with...I felt a Sudden Chill run all over Me,like I was scared of Him....
"You Are...Quite
Remarkable....'Mein Fraulein'....and Even So...You are So Very Adorable....Even
in Your Disguise....even Fetching,I might add!"
