They don't know how lucky they are...

healingincantationFraggle Cave was all Punzie had ever known until the war. She'd heard about those other Fraggles, from Granny, but always vague things. Always bad things... It certainly hadn't been the sort of thing that would make you want to visit them. Honestly, Punzie hadn't even been sure what Granny was saying was true, the way she sometimes let her mind get away from her.
But everything had changed when the Fraggles from Fraggle Rock came. For many at the Cave, the change was fleeting, or little, or both, but for Punzie... Suddenly, what had always been the whole world felt very small. There was something about the Rock Fraggles that was compelling. They were different, they were... More. And very different from what Granny had described, that had eventually become clear. A while passed where Punzie tried to return to the life she'd known, but she just couldn't. There was something calling her away now.
And a quarter-cycle after the war, she made up her mind in the way she'd already made up her heart. She was going to Fraggle Rock. Granny didn't like it, but even Cave Fraggles were still Fraggles. They had rules, but within those rules, they were still the only ones in charge of themselves. As she set off, Punzie had started to feel excited. This would be a new life, a good life.
But now? She'd been at Fraggle Rock for barely a day, and she was overwhelmed; confused. Nothing made sense here, not to her. And there was so much of all the nonsense... Maybe this hadn't been a good idea, after all. She wanted to sink into a little hidey-hole and just- Take a moment, at least, to regroup. Think about this. But she couldn't get anywhere in these crowds, and she didn't know where any hidey-holes were here, anyway.
A splash, followed by cheers, had Punzie instinctively looking to the source of the noise. And the Fraggle whose head bobbed up in the water... She knew that Fraggle! She'd stopped the war, hadn't she?
"E-Excuse me..." she mumbled as she made her way through the masses and to the edge of the lake.
