Dad really would beat him to a bloody pulp for that. So he landed in the water with a resounding splash and barely missed cracking his head on the centerpiece. He lay there a moment, staring up at the stars spinning wildly, then let out a grumbled curse. He must have had more to drink than he’d realized to be so dizzy. He clamped his eyes closed and shook his head as he lifted himself up onto his elbows, stunned by the realization that his mother had actually pushed him into a fountain. With half a chuckle, he opened his eyes to ask her how she was going to explain his situation, when his breath left him in a whoosh. She was nowhere to be seen…nor was the fountain or even the castle. Instead of sitting in a large pool of cold water, he was in the middle of a small field edged by trees and a trickling brook and in the middle of the day. Shaking his head again, he got to his feet. “What in the hell happened?” He felt the back of his head, thinking maybe he had hit it and was delusional, but felt no lumps.
