A Strange Discovery

I was sitting on my bed waiting for something else to happen other than banana slugs or other mothers. I heard a noise coming from my window. It was the Lovat boy. I saw him grinning from ear to ear this time and waving with the cat on his shoulder. I opened my window. "What do you want this time, it better not be a banana slug attack down my jacket!" I yelled very irritated, I don't know why. I saw he turned around and started walking away. I just shook my head grinning. "Fine I'll go hunting for more slugs with you!" I called to Wybie. He started running back. I went out my front door to find him holding a mouse with a lightning streak. "Look at this guy, before the cat pounced on him I grabbed him and listen how puny his voice is," Wybie said still holding the poor squirming thing. "Is it one of Bobinsky's jumping mice?" I asked. " I don't know let's ask it, Bobinsky is always saying that his mice tell him things," Wybie said hold it by the tail now. Wybie put the mouse flat on his hand so it could stop squeaking.

It coughed and cleared it's throat. "For one thing I am not an it or Bobyski's jumping mice. You guys look different from where I come -" "Let me guess buttons for eyes," I said pointing at it with the cat's paw. He looked threatened and jumped off Wybie's hand. Wybie started running after the mouse. But the mouse, he didn't go into the pink mansion, surprisingly he had a tiny crystal with him. He whispered something I couldn't make out.

A portal appeared out of nowhere. The mouse and Wybie jumped in. the cat and I looked at each other and ran into the portal. We were in a pitch black nothingness. All of a sudden I passed out. When I woke up it was like my other room without moving toys or the columns on my bed. It was prettier though, but the shelves on my dresser were out and instead of my clothes on the floor there were other clothes on the floor such as white and blue socks weird brand flip flops and other stuff. Not to mention a whole bunch of stuffed animals (not with buttons for eyes). I went in the bathroom to wash off my face. I looked in the mirror. "AAH!" I screamed seeing I had a weird cartoon-ish look. . . I recognized the markings of my eyes. It was the Sonic video game. I had brown bangs a white mouth and a red face. I looked at my hands and they were violet with burnt violet rings on the wrist.

I looked around the house for anyone. Nobody was home.
