“Yeah, well, all right, shoot! Let’s learn this thing right now!”

“Sure thing,” Mr. Austin says. “Actually, it is really simple. You already know how to do the trick, all you need now is the ability to reliably perform 6 dimensional travel.”

“Well I’m willing to learn it now,” you tell him. “That sounds like a real useful trick. The fact it is so simple is all the more reason why I should probably learn it sooner rather than later.”

“That’s a good attitude to have,” Mr. Austin says. “Ok, how about we start with you standing up? All right,” he says after you have complied with his instructions, “now, you remember how you stepped out of time when you were trying to walk on the 4th dimension?”

“Yeah,” you respond. Of course, that was only a few minutes ago.

“Well, we are going to practice stepping out of the time stream for a while, try to get it to where you can do it consistently without mistaking a 6D step for a 4D step, and vice versa. I think the best use of our time for now is just making sure you can walk onto the 6th dimension without accidentally getting lost on the 4th dimension.

So, under Mr. Austin’s instruction, you repeatedly step out of the time-stream then back into it, and then you step out of the 3rd dimension and back into it, and then you begin running drills where you alternate between the two. After a while, Mr. Austin pulls out a device that flashes red or blue lights randomly, and he tells you to take a 4D step if it’s red and a 6D step when it’s blue. In the middle of all this, he also works on going forward and backward in time while outside the time-stream, and you even use the trick he described to duplicate a few cotton balls, an item the doctors probably wouldn't notice or mind suddenly having more of. It was rather convenient to practice the time-travel part, there was a clock with a second hand right on the wall.

It is all a very weird experience. From your perspective, you did not take a single step in any direction during the 4D Vs. 6D drills, but they obviously did something. You made a few mistakes in all the drills early on, but you were getting more accurate and consistent. While both seemed like you were just taking an imaginary step, there was a slight difference in the way your brain felt before you took the step, and you were starting to learn how to control it pretty well.

“Well,” Mr. Austin said, “I think you are about to a point now where I can feel good there won’t be any slip-ups. I think that is enough for today. I will get things set up so that you can have a room in the dorm you used to live in. It won’t be your old room, that’s already been taken by someone else, but I can influence some of the staff here to give you one of the empty rooms in the dorm to use.”
