Meg Matthews, helps Mattie from the wreck and takes her back to her place. There Mattie realizes that Meg is a twenty first century style Hippy. Meg tells Mattie all about her practice of astral projection which has the younger girl enthralled. Meg offers to teach Mattie the skill and soon both are off on trips through time and space. Mattie even becomes proficient enough to travel alone for short trips. This continues for several weeks. One day at the end of summer, Meg reveals that she would like for Meg to accompany her back in time for a special Amazon festival held on the Atlantean continent. Mattie readily agrees.
