It was a Saturday night, a surprisingly boring night if you were Alex Hamilton and her best friend, Artemis Thompson. They were spending another weekend attempting to organize Artemis's room. There were clothes everywhere and toys left on the floor that she never played with. The closet was filled with old purses of her Grandma's, Barbies, and junk stacked up taller than both the girls put together. They spent all day and half the night trying to tame her out-of-control room. At three minutes to midnight, Artemis noted something very odd: there was an extra door in her room leading to only God knew where. "Alex?" she called, looking very anxious. "What is it, Temmy?" came Alex's voice from within her closet. "Was this door here before, because I don't remember it being here the last time my room was clean." "I'm sure that the door to your closet was here three years ago. Isn't that the last time it was clean?" Alex laughed. "I don't mean the closet door, or the door to my room; I don't know what this door is." Alex walked out of the closet to hopefully give her friend a heavy sedative. She stopped dead in her tracks at the sight of a large mahogany door with a solid gold handle standing next to her computer desk. She walked over to it and studied it carefully.

"What do you think is behind it? Should we open it? Is it dangerous? Do we care? Wait, of course we don't but still. I want to open it! Wait, what if something dangerous is behind there? I know! Let's get my brother to open it! Wait, what if it's a silver unicorn? I want to have it as a pet. Okay I've decided that we'll open it!" Before Alex could make a move, her insane best friend had yanked open the door. They barely got a glimpse of stone corridors and lit torches before they heard a loud thump coming from somewhere around their midsections. When they looked down, they saw a dwarf like creature unconscious on the floor. "Is that a real dwarf?" asks Artemis as she started poking the thing with her foot. "No it's a ice cream cone. Of course it's a dwarf. I think," replied Alex. Suddenly, the creature jumped up and ran. "Come back!" screamed Artemis as she shot after the creature. "Well, guess I gotta chase her down. Can't let my best bud killed without me." Muttered Alex as she started after her friend. Little did the two friends know how hard the choices, caused by their choice to open that door, would be.
