Feeling satisfied and exhausted, both Dan and Raj were transported back to the safety of Raj's apartment where it all began that fateful evening when the Dream Cane sprung into life selecting Dan as Raj's travel partner and successor. The inevitable knock at the door snapped them back to reality as Liz impatiently waited for a response. Dan leapt for the door as Raj winced from the searing pain shooting down his leg, the tightness across his chest, and the numbness in his left arm. Raj loved being a Ricar, or any other creature on an adventure the Dream Cane wanted to send him on. Raj loved having an avatar, another person or creature's body, for it was usually strong and vibrant. When he returned home he was always shocked at how bad he felt, how old and tired his body really was.
"I'm coming Mum, hold on," shouted Dan as he slid open the latch to the door.
"Ok love, hi Raj," said Liz peering around the door but not wanting to enter. She was tired after her shift and while she was eternally grateful for Raj she really didn't feel like getting dragged into a long conversation.
"Hi," responded Raj with a simple wave of the hand, his head was still spinning as a result of the journey from Bardonia, it seemed that Dan always managed to bounce back and recover quickly - it was taking Raj a little longer each time.
