It all started when Phoebe skipped a rock across a pond and accidentally hit a unicorn in the face. Improbably, this led to Phoebe being granted one wish, and using it to make the unicorn, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils, her obligational best friend. But can a vain mythical beast and a nine-year-old daydreamer really forge a connection?

/Radio/ station? When was she born? The ancient /90’s/? Wow she’s old. Decrepit!

Phoebe is a bit out of it. With about 12,000 stations just in the U.S., she’s not noticed them?

Im real glad no one tried to fight Phoebe’s creativity. Also I feel old when I talk about Ghostbusters, He-Man, Thundercats, VHS tapes, VHS cameras, film camera, cassette tapes, Lazier disks, floppy disks,the C64,2nd phone lines, dial up,rabbit ears,The Wizard,Thriller,Dan Quale,Quale Man, ALF,Batman,Star Trek TNG…etc any time some one says they where 7 when they 1st saw Pokemon, or Kim Possible or plaid Wind Waker or saw Phantom Menace, any one 13 or younger, most 20 year olds, some 16 year olds, make me feel old. What is life if you never plaid Super Mario 3? or watched Star Wars or plaid with the gen 1 Transformers? Do you remember the very 1st TMNT? or a time when MLP wasn’t a phenomenon? When Dexter not Johny Test was the kid scientist on Cartoon Network? When CBS, NBC and ABC where the only networks that had cartoons and they were on Saturday mornings and week days right after school? coming home to week long 5 part episodes? Who among you can still sing the Duck Tales theme? or the Danger Mouse song? Some times I feel sad when a 10 year old plays Super Mario RPG and says “these graphics suck” or a 8 year old plays SMB wii and aims the controller at the screen rather then holding it sideways. Or when you say Batman and people think Dark Knight and not TAS or when some kid calls Ghostbusters “that show from the 90s” other times I smile when a 4 year old sees my ghostbusters shirt and calls it his favorite show or when they reboot Thundercats or Turtles and its DARN good! Yes we’re all sad to see YJ end its run on CN but why do none of the fans remember JLU? Why has no one seen Static? Why don’t more people miss Freakazoid? Why is G4’s Portal over shadowed by the game of the SAME NAME? Yes marigold I too feel old, though you are clearly older even then I.

I know kids who don’t know what CD’s are. iPods are older than they are. Actually, iPods are legacy technology – if it’s not a part of their phone, it’s archaic and old and weird. Like Marigold!

Also Finally an explanation why Unicorns are never far. Also I can now confirm that Unicorns do not live in places I have never been. (like Wisconsin)

Why use a Unicorn when you can slide threw a worm hole or have a transporter accident. Or just well…now Im out of references, its late. You want a way to go to the other world not overwrite it threw time travel. I think most people use worm holes. Just don’t go to the other world between this one and the unicorn one, the world where humans are ruled by ice cream …no thats not a reference im just getting sleepy. Maybe you could hop down a well and find one? but thats still time travel..n/m

“What’s a radio station?” Ouch. When I was young, I thought a Walkman radio that played cassettes was high-tech. Now you can bypass the station and play whatever you like. Pretty soon I’m gonna be as dusty as my LPs.

I really love that analogy!

Poor Marigold! Once again, great expressions Dana!

Phoebe is a nerd Marigold. Just tell her you come from an alternate universe and she would have understood perfectly well. That explains why Phoebe can only go there when riding Marigold.
You did notice that Phoebe is riding side saddle as I predicted she would have to, based on the style of her finery.
