Chapter 3: Monster of the Sewers

Dimalanta Household

"Okay, let's cut to the chase." Rachel started as they all gathered in Matt and Yin's room, standing around Chris, who still held the tiny Panini and Cheren on his pinky finger. "How did you two get like that?"

Chris held the two close to his ear as their tiny voices cried out. "The magic door in the forest!!"

"They said it was a magic door in the forest."

"You think you could help us find where it is?" Aurora asked. The duo nodded.

"That still doesn't tell us where Mason and Sheila are." Leanne stated with worry. "I sure hope they're okay."

"Well, as long as they have each other," Rachel began, "I'm sure they'll be just fine."

Virginia Sewers

Stage 2: Sewer Adventure

Mission: Find a way out of the sewers and get back home!

Mason and Sheila continued progressing through the vast sewers, not having gotten too far considering their height, looking around at all the pipes that spewed waterfalls from high above them. "Man, this place is so big… it'll take forever to find the one we came out of." Mason said. "And even if we do, how are we even gonna climb back up?"

Mason was suddenly stopped by Sheila. "Oi, look, Mason!" the child excitedly pointed far ahead as a trio of giant red and black dung beetles grabbed some waste out of the river and flew up into a hole that was high up on the brick wall.

"Were those… dung beetles?" Mason asked, disgustedly.

"Oi bet they can help us! Le's go after them!"

"Ohhh…" Mason was already feeling sick to his stomach. (Play "Pooland" from Conker's Bad Fur Day!)

The two quickly headed to the wall the dung beetles flew up. The hole which they flew in was many stories above them. However, there was a long, gaping curved crack in the wall that seemed to lead up there. Mason and Sheila went into the crack and began jumping their way up the many giant bricks to get up there, and Sheila also helped them fly a couple ways up. When they had made it to the top, they proceeded to enter the tunnel, the powerful smell of sewer waste still reaching their noses. They moved slowly and crouched behind a doorway as they spied into some room, watching as those three dung beetles sat around a table and drank tea.

"Ahh, don'tcha just love it when some kid gets 'imself stuffed with meat?" one of the dung beetles asked.

"Crikey! Talking dung beetles!" Sheila exclaimed before running inside.

"Sheila, wait!" Mason tried to stop her, but couldn't.

"Blimey! You blokes are the biggest dung beetles I've ever seen!" she exclaimed with amazement.

"'ey, who the heck are these guys?" the first one asked.

"Duh, they're some weird-lookin' bugs, Razza." The second one said in a dimwitted tone.

"Hey, hang on, they ain't bugs. They're brats!" the third one pointed out.

"What? But aren't humans supposed to be… I dunno, taller?" the first one, Razza asked.

"We… had a little accident." Mason stated sheepishly, scratching his head.

"Ehn, just who are you brats?"

"Moi name's Sheila! And this 'ere is Mason, mates!" Sheila happily answered.

"Mason, ah?… Wait… you mean from that Dimalanta family?"

"Y-You know us?" Mason asked.

"Are you kiddin'? You poisonbenders are pretty well-known to us dung beetles."

"You guys make the most DELICIOUS poo!" the third one said.

"Huhuhu… I like me a good poo…" the second one stated goofily.

"Um…you're welcome?" Mason stated confusedly.

"'ey, Oi don't suppose you blokes 'ave any idea how to get us back to Mason's house?" Sheila asked.

"Oh, sure we do." Razza said. "We know the sewers like the backs of… well, whatever we have for hands."

"But, uh…it might not be best for you to go right now." The third one said.

"W…Why not?" Mason asked.

"There's somethin' real nasty in these sewers…" the second one answered.

"And this is?" he rose a brow at the balls of poo lined up on the wall.

"No, no, we mean somethin' REAL nasty. It eats bugs like us." The third one replied.

"Lately, some monster's been lurking down here." The first one continued. "Some monster that hides within the waste. It could be hiding anywhere down here. Unfortunately, no one who's seen it has lived to tell the tale."

"Except Tezza here saw it once." The third one said.

"Duh, it was scary. Them green eyes were big'uns." The dumb one said.

"And I saw it, too. Its hand, anyway." The third one, Bazza stated. "Saw him eat another dung beetle. There was no escapin' for that guy."

"As far as we know, this is the only safe place." Razza began. "It's never safe to go out to the river to grab dinner without that thing stalkin' up on us."

"Well, strewth! Maybe we can 'elp you blokes beat this drongo!" Sheila smiled, waving her fist.

"Nah, nah, there's no way." Bazza denied. "You're better off just gettin' outta here."

"Then, can you tell us the way?" Mason asked.

"Oh, sure. This area's just below where your house is. Just follow the path upward over there." Razza pointed to a door beside the table. "You'll be up there in no time."

"Alright! Thanks!"

"Yeah, good luck. You kids are gonna need it with a beast like that on the loose."

Mason and Sheila then proceeded into the hallway ahead. "WHOA!" They stopped and gasped when a massive brown, gooey hand shot through the wall and nearly grabbed them before retreating away. They exchanged a frightened glance before proceeding cautiously. At the end of the hallway, they came to a chamber that led upward a few stories, and had several pipes with the brown substance pouring out. The two balanced their way up a few narrow walkways and gripped onto thin strings of toilet paper, using them to climb higher. Before they could swing to another one, a waterfall of poo poured down in their path. They waited for it to stop before swinging to the next string. The two climbed a bit higher before reaching a dangling lever. They jumped and grabbed to pull the lever down. The sounds of toilet flushing were heard as the chamber began to fill with filthy liquid.

They disgustedly used this to their advantage and allowed the liquid to float them up higher. They were eventually lifted up to a pipe and progressed into it. They arrived at a room where a series of dungballs were being rolled down rows of stairs. The two quickly headed up the stairs and jumped over any dungball that would run them over. When they made it up, they entered the tunnel where the dungballs came from, sidling against the wall to let the balls roll by. At the end of the tunnel was a hole in the ceiling where the dungballs were dropping from, and to the side was a door to the next room. They now stood on a short ledge over a pool of the brown goo. Sticking out of the pool was several more hands of the same substance.

Mason and Sheila took a few steps back before leaping to the first hand. They quickly jumped to the next one before the first one snapped shut on them, and rapidly pounced around the hands to avoid being snatched. They thankfully made it to the other side, finding several ripped toilet paper pieces on the ground. The toilet paper emerged into Scummy Mummies, who waddled their way over to try and bash the duo with toilet plungers. The two easily avoided as Sheila began punching Light Spheres at them, while Mason whacked them with Poison Whip, taking them out easy. They then proceeded into the next room, standing on a ledge over another chasm of poo. They noticed a roll of toilet paper sitting along two parallel lines and hopped on. They carefully made the roll move forward to balance on and keep going. A couple geysers of poo rose up, but they slowed to a halt and waited for them to die down.

After reaching the other side, they hopped off onto the platform and found a small ball of poo. "You know, Mate, my adventurer instincts tell me we're going to need this." Sheila said.

"Ugh. Well, the adventurer instincts are never wrong." With that, the two decided to roll the ball along as they headed up a hill into another hall. The two were then continuing along a narrow pathway over a river of poo, the ball getting bigger as they rolled it. They looked around the ball and saw a hole in the road, watching a giant poo hand reach out. The hand felt around that part of the path to try and find them. They carefully rolled past the hand when it searched around the other side.

"Oi, check it out!" Sheila whispered. "You just roll it and roll it, and it gets bigger and biggerer! It's just like a snowball!"

"Hehe, yeah. A more disgusting snowball." The two arrived at a part of the path where it split in three, with two more holes in-between. As expected, two hands emerged from the holes and felt around the path. Like before, the duo patiently waited until both hands were further enough away before they carefully rolled the ball across, with the left hand almost touching them. They finally arrived at the end of the path, looking down as a bigger, fatter dung beetle sat and blocked the next entrance. The two pushed the ball down, and it landed on his head, waking him from his slumber.

"W-Whuh?…" the beetle startled awake and searched around, hovering a little with his wings. "Oh, this one will do…" He said before rolling the giant dungball away.

The two entered the door he was guarding and found a room with a wide hill leading upwards, wet with a puddle of toilet water flowing down. As they walked up, giant boulders of poo dropped from the ceiling and rolled toward them, the first one running them over. They shook the dizziness off and avoided the rest of the dungballs as they kept going. Once at the top, a couple of Poohemoths emerged from the ground. Sheila tried to punch one in the gut, but her fist ended up caught inside its form. She pushed her feet against it to try and pull her fist out, but the monster only grabbed her by the head and tossed her away. Mason rapidly whipped against the other one with his Poison Whip, wrapping the weapon around its arm and allowing the monster to swing him away.

The two recovered and stood to face the Poohemoths again. Mason found a small roll of toilet paper on the ground and tossed it into one's mouth. The Poohemoth monster coughed and choked on this absorbent before melting. Sheila then took notice of a lever dangling from the ceiling and decided to yank it. A compartment on the ceiling opened and dropped a giant wet-wipe onto the remaining Poohemoth, easily absorbing it. Once they were gone, the door opened beside them, and they continued into an area with a flowing river of trash, which was obviously quite wide to their size. The two headed down and started to hop their way over the river using the trash. The giant poo hands stuck out of the river and snuck over to try and grab them, but Sheila quickly got them across using her tail propeller, and they weren't looking forward to falling under and seeing the source of the hand.

Eventually, the two made it across and looked up as ripped toilet paper, designed like a ladder, led all the way up into another pipe. The two took hold and carefully started climbing the thin ladder, going several stories higher up. Mason glanced down to the river and noticed the monstrous pair of eyes watching them as it flowed past. Mason kept his worried expression as they climbed the rest of the way. (End song.)

Dimalanta Household

Aurora held a magnifying glass over the mini duo. Cheren and Panini's eyes widened with fright at how enormous Aurora's ocean-blue eye was now. The tiny duo pointed their way through the forest outside. Aurora walked carefully so as not to drop them, and the rest of the group followed her. When Cheren and Panini recognized the scenery, they both raised a hand, gesturing for Aurora to stop. "Right here?" They nodded and gestured to put them down. Aurora carefully got down on one knee and rested her pinky on the ground, laying it flat. The two slid down onto her fingernail and afterwards leapt off and dashed ahead.

The rest of the crew gathered and crouched down, squinting closely as the tiny figures scampered all the way over to an equally tiny door. Aurora crawled a bit closer to observe the door with her magnifying glass. "This door?" The two nodded once more.

"We opened this door and found some kind of swirling vortex." Cheren explained.

"When we went in, we came out the size of ants, and we couldn't open it back up." Panini followed. "Then Mrs. Uno came looking for us, so we hitched a ride on her shorts. But then we fell off when she entered the house, and we kept yelling out to people until Chris noticed us."

"Wait, you mean that was you two that landed on my foot?" Rachel asked.

"Well, yah…" Cheren scratched his head.

"Boy, do I feel guilty now…" Rachel frowned in shame.

"Don't worry about it, Mom. We know they're safe now." Aurora assured.

"So, what I'm getting is, Mason and Sheila also found this door, and were shrunk down, too, when they entered it." Matt summarized.

"Then THAT means the li'l buggers must be somewhere around here!" Marine exclaimed.

Hearing this, Haruka gave a quiet, horrified gasp, her eyes wide. The girl quickly checked the bottom of the shoe which she used to squish the two "bugs" before, trying to find a trace of Mason and Sheila on the muddy sole. "No, wait." Matt spoke. "Yin said she found them on her finger. So, they must be inside the house somewhere… right?"

"That only depends if we didn't accidentally squish them by now." Yin said. At this, everyone gave terrified faces and checked the bottoms of their shoes.

"Calm down, you guys." Matt told them. "They're probably fine… somewhere. Let's all just get back inside the house and start looking for them. Afterwards, we need to find a way to open this door back up." With looks of worry and dread, the lot of them headed back to the house. Haruka just kept a guilty expression as she looked down in shame.

Virginia Sewers

After climbing their way up the ladder, the two had arrived in a rather large chamber with a pool of poo in the center, with a pathway going around it. Inside the pool was three more dung beetles going for a swim. "Oi, that level didn't sit well with my stomach, eh?" Sheila slightly grunted.

"Well, at least we should be close to the top by now. Let's ask these guys if they know anything." Mason walked closer to the edge and called out to the dung beetles, "Um, EXCUSE ME? You guys have any idea how to get to the Dimalanta home?"

The beetles paused in their swimming to look up at them. "Oh yeah, of COURSE we know how ta get theres-is! Where'dya think we're swimmin' in?" one of them asked. "Those guys makes the best-"

"Yeah, yeah, we make the best poo, now directions?"

"Yeh-yeh, just keeps headin's up theres-is." He indicated the tunnel way at the end of the path.

"Okay. Thanks." Mason called out as the two continued along the path.

"Oi, let us come back for a swim, eh?" Sheila waved at them.

"Please let us not, Sheila." Mason mumbled in disgust. As the dung beetles were enjoying their swim however, one of them had been suddenly yanked beneath the surface. Mason and Sheila immediately stopped in their path and turned to see one of them gone.

"Ah, it's okays." The other one waved them off. "He's probably got sucked down the drain again. Barnie, help him out, would ya?" The other dung beetle, Barnie, took a breath and dove beneath the surface. A couple bubbles emerged from where he dove, and then vanished after a few seconds. Mason and Sheila exchanged terrified glances at this. The remaining dung beetle began to look worried and said, "Ahh, okays…" he calmly flew out of the poo, "I'm just gonna… take a…" His sentence was cut short when a hand suddenly emerged from the pool. "Wa-wa-WAAAH!" He tried to get away, but the hand shot over and pulled him down below.

Mason and Sheila stepped back in absolute fear as the center of the pool began to bubble tremendously. (Play "The Mighty Poo Sloprano" from Conker's Bad Fur Day!)

The dung beetle shook around and pleaded for mercy as it was held by the wings by a gargantuan blob of poo. The demon dripped with the brown goo as it rised from the depths, its mouth open wide as his rotten yellow teeth were exposed. The beetle shook around even more and tried desperately to get away. The monster held its mouth open wider and snacked the bug in one bite, licking his fingers clean.

Mason and Sheila were horrified at the sight. The monster of poo took notice of them and cleared his throat. He pulled out some pills and dropped them into his mouth, then washed them down with some water. He cleared his throat a little more and started to sing in a deep, powerful voice that echoed throughout the sewers.

"I… AM… the Great Mighty Poo, and I'M going to THROW my crud at YOU. I hail from, you see, people's chocolate and pee. I'll turn you into scat, you little brats!"

Mason and Sheila exchanged a disbelieved glance before slowly sticking their fingers down their throats. "BLEEHH!" They barfed over the ledge behind them.

Boss fight: Great Mighty Poo

The two jumped to the side to avoid being crushed by one of his dungballs. They tried to hurry over to the way they came in, but the Mighty Poo slammed his hand on the path and made it collapse. They tried to hurry down the way ahead next, but the monster slammed its hand on Mason and clutched the boy. The monster swung Mason around in the air, but Sheila saved him by charging a large Light Sphere and blasting at the monster's face. He was blinded by the light and dropped Mason onto the foothold, but regained vision in seconds. The Mighty Poo laughed before switching to further ahead in the path as Mason and Sheila tried to run that way.

The Mighty Poo opened his mouth wide and sang at the top of his lungs. His booming voice caused the cavern to shake, which made several waste and debris fall down onto the ground. They tried to get further down the path, but the Mighty Poo kept appearing in their way and singing to the heavens. However, one of the items that fell down was a giant roll of toilet paper. The two exchanged a smirk before lifting the paper and tossing it straight into his mouth. This caused the Mighty Poo to begin choking, and Mason proceeded to burp a Gas Bomb at his lower left hip and explode a chunk off of him. As they reached the end of the first path, into the next room, the Mighty Poo appeared in their way again, the gap in his hip healing instantly.

"Do you really THINK you'll SURVIIIVE in here? You don't seem to know which creek you're IIIN. I am made of ALL the things that go through peoples' rear. How d'you think I keep this lovely grin?" He grinned widely and exposed his rotten teeth. "HAVE some more caviar!"

The Mighty Poo pulled out a bowl of caviar and dipped a spoon in, using it to fling the fish eggs at the duo. The two hurried down the path and dodged the flying caviar. When they made it to a gap that was too far to jump, Sheila grabbed Mason and used her tail to fly them across, landing them on the next foothold. The two kept running and reached a dead end. Sheila noticed poo stalactites hanging from the ceiling and used her light chain to hook onto one, Mason keeping hold on her as she swung them across. They swung their way over to a chain on the other end, grabbing and pulling down. This caused some blue toilet-cleaner substance to spray out from the ceiling and sting the Mighty Poo's eyes.

The Mighty Poo burst into his booming singing again, making poo stalactites drop down as the friends hurried across the next path. They jumped more gaps in the floor and stopped before another giant toilet paper roll fell on them. Once again, they lifted the paper and tossed it into his open mouth, causing him to choke. They quickly hurried into the next room before he recovered and appeared in their path again.

"Now I'm really getting RATHER mad, you're like a wiggly tickly CRUDDY little tagnut. When I've knocked you OUT with AAALL my bab, I'm gonna take your heads and ram them up MY BUTT!"

"Your butt?" Mason asked.

"That's right, MY BUTT!"

"Yo' butt?" Sheila asked.

"My butt-"

"Ew." Mason cringed.

"My butt-"

"EWW!" Sheila exclaimed.

"MY BUUUUUUUUUTT!"

Even more arms emerged from the Mighty Poo's form, the kids rapidly dodging around to avoid being smashed. There seemed to be no other ways to go, except a tremendous tower leading upward. In the meantime, the two just moved quickly around the foothold to avoid the Mighty Poo's slamming fists. Mason quickly burped Gas Bombs at some of the fists to blow them away, while Sheila charged and punched Light Spheres at them. The Mighty Poo retreated his spare fists and started pulling out dungballs to throw at them, but Sheila punched more light balls at the dungballs and splattered them in one hit.

The Mighty Poo burst into song once again, causing debris to fall down even faster. The kids rapidly dodged the falling sewage items before grabbing the convenient roll of toilet paper and tossing it into his throat, the monster choking once again.

Overcome with anger, the Almighty Poo sang louder than ever. "Aaaaaa-Aaaaaa-AAAAAAAAAAA!" His singing so great, the sewers trembled even more, and Mason and Sheila covered their ears tight. Just then, an enormous geyser of water shot up from below, sending the two directly up the tower.

The Mighty Poo kept after them and rapidly climbed its way up the tower, the kids hurriedly dodging to avoid his snapping hands. They kept going higher and higher, hoping eventually they'd reach the top. "AAAH, SHEILA!" Mason screamed, alerting them to a down-facing pipe up above. The geyser slammed them into the pipe and washed them down it, the two screaming as they surfed who-knows-where.

Dimalanta Household

As Aurora was searching around the bathroom, she rose a brow at the sight of the toilet shaking around. "Um, FRANCIS?" she called the boy over. Francis curiously approached his friend as Aurora led him over beside the toilet. "Did you clog the toilet by any chance?"

"It wasn't me. I wonder what's happening…"

At that instant- "GRAH!"

"AHH!" The two winced in shock when the blob of poo emerged from the toilet. Aurora and Francis immediately grabbed a plunger and began pounding it down on the monster. Aurora then pushed the lever.

"DAAAH, you snot-nosed kids, look what you've done! I'm flushing, I'm flushing! Oh, what a world, what a world." Aurora and Francis watched in confusion as the monster swirled and sunk down the toilet. "To think that a couple of pint-sized kids like you, could destroy my BEAUTIFUL clagginess! Ah, I'm going! Aaaaaah! Nooooo! Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh…"

"Hmph." Aurora glared at Francis. "You have one crazy bowel movement." Afterwards, the two left the bathroom. (End song.)

By this time, night had fallen, and the crew had given up searching for their shrunken friends. Down in the kitchen, Rachel was leaned against the table as she spoke on a phone. "No, we're still looking for a solution, Patton, though we think we have a plan. But don't worry, your daughter is safe."

"Oh, good." Patton sighed in relief. "Just have my daughter fixed soon. Fanny's losin' it over here."

"Heh, just make sure she doesn't go on a rampage. Good night, Patton." With that, Rachel hung up.

Panini shuddered, having just watched this with Cheren on the kitchen table. "I hope we get big soon. I'd be absolutely terrified seeing my mom so big."

"Well, your Uncle Paddy and Shaunie saw her like that once." Cheren reminded. "Just ask them for advice."

"Okay, guys, I have your rooms all set up!" Haruka said, holding her hand open for the tiny duo. She carried them up to her room and presented a dollhouse on her nightstand. "It's a dollhouse I used to play with. The bed inside should be a nice fit for you both~"

The inside of the dollhouse was perfectly fit for their height. The two went upstairs into the bedroom and lied on the bed, finding it rather comfy. The two looked out the window as a tremendous brown eye peeked in. "Awww. You two look so adorable." Dillon cooed. The two gave him annoyed looks before settling under the covers.

"Dillon, don't tease them." Haruka stated. "Since you're staying over, you can sleep in Mason's bed. But watch your step!"

"Yeah, I know…" Dillon left the room, keeping his eyes downward.

Haruka depressedly sat on her bed with her head rested on her hand. The twin sniffled and said, "I can't believe I…I almost killed my brother." She wiped a tear off. "They were right in front of me… and I squished them… right under my big, dumb feet!" she angrily kicked her legs. "Oh, Mason… please be okay." She somberly relaxed on her bed and drifted to sleep.

Unknown bathroom

The force of the monster's rampage sent Mason and Sheila far up the pipelines. "Whooooaaaa!" Eventually, they came launching right out of a toilet, crashing on a posh bathroom floor. "Huff…ugh…phew…glad that's over…" Mason gasped.

"Did we… make it back?" Sheila pushed her tired self up.

Mason stood and looked around. There was an elegant-looking bathtub with a fancy shower curtain and lots of pleasant soaps. "This doesn't look anything like my house."

The friends crossed the floor to the bathroom's open doorway. It led to an enormous bedroom with lots of gigantic stuffed toys, a luxurious dollhouse, and a mountainous bed with an overhang. There were echoing snores resounding from atop the bed. "I don't recognize this place at all. In fact, this looks like some rich kid's home. Probably a girl, judging by all this junk."

"It ain't the worst thing, eh? Why don't we climb on up there and ask her to help us?"

"Even if she would, she sounds fast asleep. In fact…" the boy yawned, "so am I…"

Sheila yawned as well, rubbing her tired eyes. "Oi, me too. We gotta find a safe place to rest. …I reckon that house should have a few rooms open!" Her eyes perked as she pointed to the huge dollhouse.

"Hey, yeah!" Mason beamed. The two immediately dashed across the jungle of carpet fibers and arrived at the large house. They entered the front door and decided to have a look around the house. It perfectly fit their size, though maybe a few inches bigger. "Wow! It's amazing in here! It's so detailed!"

"Mason, check this out up here!" Mason followed her voice and climbed up to an attic. A golden bell was hung up, a string attached to it. Sheila rang the bell.

"It jingles! Sheila, that's it! When this kid wakes up, we'll use this to get her attention!"

"Strewth! You think she can get us back home, mate?"

"I mean… it's really the only chance we've got. We could at least ask her to call our parents…" Still, Mason was hesitant to ask a complete stranger for help while they were so small and practically helpless. After all, this kid could easily be a spoiled brat.

"Well, let's see if this place has a bed first." Sheila suggested. They explored and found a bedroom, exchanging wide smiles at the sight of the huge bed. "Aw, RIPPER!" Sheila excited ran over and jumped out of her sandals, joyfully rolling around the soft, relaxing bed. "This bed is rippuh! And look! It's fit for two!"

"Al-halright!" Mason cheered. The boy kicked off his shoes before jumping onto the bed with Sheila. Sheila lay on the window side while Mason lay beside her, getting easily accustomed to the bed's softness. "Man, this thing is perfect! We'll be getting plenty of sleep like this!"

"Ah, nothin' relieves the excitement of adventure like a good ol', cozy bed." Sheila smiled, spreading her legs out and wiggling her toes.

"Got that right…" Mason smiled, resting his head on the pillow. He glanced beside at his friend. "Um, Sheila?"

"Yah, Mate?" Sheila rolled her eyes to him.

"Um…even though we almost died several times… I really enjoyed this adventure. It was really fun…"

"Hehe." Sheila widely grinned and showed her pearly whites. "Thanks, but… maybe I enjoyed it a little too much."

"Well, yeah… but I'm sorry I went off on you like that."

"Nah, it's okay. Tomorrow, I'll make sure to get us both back to normal. Even if I gotta force this stranger to help us!"

"Heh, I'm hoping she does. But, no matter what happens… let's promise to stick together from now on."

"Hee hee! It's a promise!"

And so, the two rested their heads on the pillow and peacefully drifted into sleep. For the first time, neither of them were worried about being small or dying. After a long day's humongous struggles, the two had never felt more at peace. Being with their best friend, the person they cherished more than anyone else, they knew they would be safe. A dim blue light shone into the tiny window of the dollhouse, lighting up the sleeping couple. The full moon shone brightly through the window, onto the dollhouse. The two peacefully slept under the calm light, letting the worries out of their mind.
