I looked down at the hole in the ground. It was covered in cobwebs and dust. Plus it was in the sewer. So, what was I, a fourteen year old, thinking? I lived down there for four years and just discovered that place that morning. It was pitch black in there when I first entered the room. I looked down the hole again and noticed some soot and fire stain marks on the wall. I must have been stupider than Alice from wonderland because all I was thinking about was jumping down this hole. It didn't help at all that my curiosity was nagging on me. I mean what harm could happen; it probably would run into a water pipe or something. I took a deep breath and pushed off on to the heels of my Heelys. Instantly whizzing by walls and as they flashed by I noticed more and more rocks. I squinted my eyes when I noticed a faint light at the opposite side of the tunnel I was going down. I guess the water pipes would have ended there. But once there was no floor I realized that this wasn't a sewer line.

A giant mushroom, that is the first thing I saw. I aimed my body towards the middle spot and muttered, "Please be soft, please be soft!" I hit my target and started bouncing. Once I finally stopped I planned my way to the ground from the mushrooms. I sat down and slid down the mushrooms onto the nearest cliff. I brushed all the soot, dust, and cobwebs off me and started walking, hopefully towards civilization. I passed a lot of plants and crystals, but what caught my attention were the little animals that seemed to be everywhere. So far this place beat both my foster home and the circus I worked at. I heard chirping and I looked up to see one of these animals falling. "No!" I shouted as I ran towards him. Time seemed to have stopped as I took off my red hoodie. Time caught back up and the animal safely landed in my jacket. I wrapped the soft faux fake fur on the inside of the jacket around the little guy. "Are you okay little fella?" he chirped and seemed to nod his head. The little guy was mostly red with designs around his body, but what stood out the most was his one red eye. "Is it okay if I call you Cachi?" I asked. He chirped again. I giggled and continued on my hunt towards civilization.

"Whoa," I exclaimed, "I think that is the biggest mushroom/tree house in the world." Cachi chirped twice. I walked towards the white clubhouse. I reached the door and stopped. "Where's the door bell?" I asked mainly to myself. I hope knocking isn't rude, but as I knocked on the door I heard the whirl of what sounded to be a toy gun loading. "Um… trick or treat?" I said as I turned around slowly.
