A/N: Well, even though I've only gotten one review so far, I was itching to continue, so here it is! The second chapter! And those who haven't played Animal Crossing before, you should. It's a really fun game. I don't think I'd want to be trapped inside it, though…Oh, and I changed the title, because 'Trapped in Piez' was really stupid. :P R&R!
Disclaimer: I don't own the Sisters Grimm OR Animal Crossing.
RECAP:
Sam smiled again and immediately responded, "You are in Piez! Right now, the time is 11:30 PM on Tuesday, November 24th. And you are…?"
All three kids stared at each other with wide
eyes. Now what had they gotten themselves into?
"Guys…" Sabrina said in a shaky voice. "I don't think we're in Ferryport Landing anymore."
Rover (A/N: Thank you Schadenfreude62!) stopped smiling and tilted his head to the side again; something Sabrina found was getting really annoying. "Ferryport Landing? There is no Ferryport Landing here in Animal Crossing. There is only Piez. Tell me who you are, and I will take you there."
At that moment, something in Sabrina snapped. "We don't WANT to go to Piez! We will never want to go to your freaking town! We want to go back to Ferryport Landing NOW!!!" Sabrina clenched her fists in anger and her face turned red with anger.
"Whoa, cool it, Grimm," Puck coaxed her.
Sabrina whirled around. "I will NOT cool it. After all, YOU'RE the one that got us into this mess!"
Puck looked confused. "Me? What did I do?" He demanded. Wings sprouted from his back and he hovered a few millimeters from the ground, something he did when he was angry.
"Everything! You did everything! If you hadn't made watching TV a daily thing, Daphne would've never seen the commercial on it and we would NEVER. BE. HERE!!!" Sabrina felt like punching him in the face she was so angry.
Puck frowned, angry. "I – " he began.
"Would you two just SHUT UP already??" Daphne screamed from beside Sabrina. The two looked at her. Her arms were crossed in front of her chest and she looked extremely angry. "This isn't Puck's fault. It's MINE. If I hadn't become so obsessed with getting this game, none of this would've happened." Daphne frowned and looked as though she were going to cry.
Sabrina reached out and rubbed Daphne's shoulders to coax her. "Don't worry, Marshmallow," Puck said, joining Sabrina. "Everything's going to turn out fine. I'll get us out of here." Sabrina snorted under her breath and Puck glared at her.
Daphne didn't see this and lightened up a bit. For the first time in her life, Sabrina was actually thankful for the fairy boy.
"So," Rover the cat cleared his throat and the three kids jumped, not remembering he was there. "You are…?" He tilted his head to the side.
Sabrina's fists clenched up again. "Look, if you do that one more time I swear I'll – " she threatened, stepping close to the cat.
"Relax, Grimm!" Puck grabbed Sabrina's shoulders and pulled her away from Rover, who was looking very scared. Sabrina was still mad, but she made no move of threatening the cat further.
"Our names are Daphne, Sabrina, and Puck," Daphne declared, pointing to each of them as she introduced.
"Daphne!" Sabrina hissed in her little sister's ear. "No! We don't want to go to Piez – "
But it was too late. "Oh, that's right," said Rover. "I remembered everything but the name. If you'll just wait here while I get everything ready…" The cat disappeared and the room was completely dark. Sabrina reached out and grabbed Daphne's hand and began slowly backing away, trying to get out. She didn't know where Puck was but she felt someone breathing on her neck so she figured Puck was right behind her.
Suddenly the spotlight turned on again and Rover appeared in it, smiling his irritating, broad smile. "Alrighty, then! Fun awaits in Piez!"
"Wait – " Sabrina began, but suddenly the dark room disappeared and she found Puck, Daphne, and she in front of a huge, brightly colored house. Trees dotted the area around it and she could hear the roar of a waterfall not too far away.
But that wasn't all. Everything looked…like a cartoon. And worse, not far off, she saw a koala walking with clothes on and a butterfly catching net over her shoulder.
"Oh, fudge," moaned Sabrina, kicking the nearby trunk of a tree in despair.

"Are they in the game already?" The man demanded. George's face materialized on the mirror, the image of Sabrina, Daphne, and Puck disappearing. George's face was, as always, afraid.
"Y-yes sir," George hastily replied.
The man's grin was concealed in the darkness. "Excellent," he declared, drumming his fingers on the arm of his chair. "Take me in too."
"Wha-what?" George asked, surprised.
The man's grin faded into a scowl. "Are you deaf, mirror? I want in the game, now, so I can capture those brats and kill them."
"I-I don't think that's s-s-such a good idea s-sir," George stammered quickly.
"Are you my counselor or my slave? Do as your told!" The man barked at the mirror.
"A-as you wish, Master!" George cried, and in an instant, the chair that the man had previously been sitting in was empty.

Relda Grimm didn't think she was a very heavy sleeper, but everyone else thought so, including the late Basil Grimm. But even Relda couldn't sleep through the screams and shouts of the kids downstairs.
She sat up abruptly in bed, wondering what was going on. Careful not to wake Uncle Jake, who slept in the guest room next door, she slipped out of bed and quickly tied on her robe. As she stepped into the hallway, she saw Uncle Jake right beside her. She gasped quickly when she saw him, startled for a moment.
"Do you hear them too, Mom?" Uncle Jake whispered, but was barely audible over the screams downstairs.
"Yes, Jake, and I think we better go – " Granny began, but suddenly the screams stopped. Uncle Jake and Granny stared at each other, confused, and without a word ran down the steps.
The living room was empty. There was nothing in sight.
"I felt sure that – " Granny began, shaking her head. She had heard many things of ghosts, but never really thought they existed. Could they perhaps be haunting her house? She turned to her son. "Go and check upstairs and see if the kids are in their rooms." Jake nodded and hurried up the steps.
Granny turned to the TV set and noticed that the Animal Crossing game was on. Strange, she thought to herself. I thought Daphne turned it off.
She picked up the remote and was about to turn the TV off when another image flickered across the screen. Gasping, Granny dropped the remote in shock.
"Mom, the kids aren't in their – what are you doing?" Uncle Jake stopped in the doorway, his mother frozen in front of the TV.
"Jake…come here!" Uncle Jake stepped up beside his mother and squinted at the TV. Suddenly his eyes grew wide. "Is that – are they – " Uncle Jake stuttered.
Granny nodded. "Yes…I think they are, Jake."
For on the TV screen were Sabrina, Puck, and Daphne, trapped inside Piez.
A/N: So, what do you think? Please review! Sorry this chapter was pretty short and boring, but the next chapter will be better and entertaining, I promise!! Review!!
