Will Grossman ran as fast as he could to Kathryn's house, shocked to find Kathryn's parents outside calling for her. He ran up to them and began panting.

'Will! Bloody hell boy, what you doing up so late?' Kathryn's father asked, leading Will inside along with his wife.

'I...have...news...about...Kathryn...' Will responded, the parents gasping.

'You do!? Where is she and what happened!?' Her mother asked.

'You're not going to believe it...' Will sighed, placing himself on the couch.

'Of course we'll believe you, sure your grand-grandmother went crazy over a killer clown but I'm sure you're not as crazy.'

'So, you want me to tell you?'

'YES!'

'Well, Kathryn's in Proxy Land with Laughing Jack, Tails Doll, Skintaker, Ruby and Sven.' Kathryn's parents looked confused. 'Ok, here's a better expiation. Your daughter had been shrunk by Lord Zalgo's personal witch Pencilneck and has now gone to Proxy Land to return back to normal. Then, she'll come straight home.' Kathryn's parents now looked mad.

'My daughter was shrunk!?' The mother asked.

'By a witch!?' The father asked.

'So, she's not on earth anymore!?' The mother asked with more shock.

'Yes, yes and yes.' Will replied, Kathryn's dad got up and chucked him outside. 'Hey! What's the big idea!?' Grossman replied, getting up and brushing off some mess off his clothes.

'Well, when you have real answers, come back with our daughter!' The father growled before slamming the door.

'Great. The one guy with answers and they throw him out.' Will groaned, before heading back to his home again. 'I hope Zalgo stomps on them.'


Meanwhile, in Proxy Land, Kathryn, Laughing Jack, Skintaker, Tails Doll, Sven and Ruby had just arrived and the portal behind them closed. Sven and Ruby smiled and waved goodbye.

'Wait, aren't you guys coming with us?' Kathryn asked, sadness in her voice.

'We know we don't want to leave you, but we don't belong in Proxy Land.' Ruby sighed, Sven nodded.

'But I don't belong here-'

'But you need to be here. That's why you're going but we aren't.' Ruby and Sven began their journey away from them before Kathryn tightly hugged them.

'I'll miss you guys...'

'We'll miss you too...'

Kathryn wiped her tears and then ran up to Laughing Jack, who was a few centimetres away from them. Laughing Jack wrapped an arm round her and they continued their journey to the Slender brothers.


Lord Zalgo sat in his throne and sighed, looking round his dark throne room. His eyes kept looking at a small bird cage beside the throne. A frown came upon his many mouths as man came running towards him.

It was a masked man, wearing a blue mask and a black, hooded cloak with dark clothes underneath and brown shoes. Black hair poking out the hood as he stopped before The Lord. The man took a few deep breaths before coughing.

'Ah, my royal adviser Shadowlurker, what's been going on in a Proxy Land? Anything, odd?' Lord Zalgo asked, getting off his throne and standing next to the Shadowlurker.

'Well sir, Sonic .EXE still thinks he's god, Jeff is still scarred for life and a portal opened up in the meadow outs-'

'Wait, what was in the meadow?'

'A portal. Why?'

'Pencilneck!' Zalgo roared, causing Pencilneck to run over to him.

'Yes oh great and powerful Zalgo. What is it?'

'She's arrived.'

'Oh! You mean our new witch Kor-'

'NO! The girl... You know, the human.'

'Oh, Kathryn!'

'Yes... Miss P, prepare the shrinking potion!'

'Yes Lord Zalgo!' She then bowed and ran into her lab. Zalgo then turned his head to the Shadowlurker.

'What do you want me to do?' He asked, trembling in Zalgo's up close presence.

'Tell the whole land that a party will be here at twelve tomorrow. Let everyone be there, including our new guests. Then, I shall rule this kingdom forever!' Zalgo laughed before turning to another door. 'Assassin Scarecrow!' Lord Zalgo called out, a Scarecrow woman fell from the ceiling but was somehow not hurt.

'Want me to capture some of those reindeers that came from the portal?' She asked, giving a troll face to The Lord.

'Um... Yes, whatever they are. Just bring them to me alive.' Zalgo replied.

'Alive?'

'Yes, they'll make good stampers and carrage-carriers...' The demon chuckled at his own horrible images before sending Scarecrow to the meadow. Zalgo then gave the boot to the Shadowlurker as if to tell him to hurry up and spread the news. Zalgo then flopped on his seat and sighed.

'It's great to be an evil king.' He smiled, falling asleep with many evil smiles on him.


Kathryn and Laughing Jack arrived at the Slender brothers house, Skintaker and Tails Doll went to meet some of the people living in Proxy Land. The two had their hands in a tight hold, not knowing until Kathryn looked down.

'Laughing Jack...' She began.

'Yes?' Jack then noticed their hands and quickly removed them. 'I will warn you, the Slender Bros are...quite tall.'

'That's ok with me Jack, I mean, I was just shrunken down and captured in a glass jar by my own uncle but hey. They won't be THAT bad.'

The front door opened to reveal a tall, white, faceless man in a suit with a red tie and black tentacles from his back. He was taller than Laughing Jack, with Jack being up to the man's waist. Causing Kathryn to feel uneasy.

'Laughing Jack, you've returned. Me and my family thought that you would never return.' The tall person gasped, letting the duo in and shutting the door. The man then took interest to Kathryn. 'And who's this young woman?' The man asked, walking closer to her.

'Oh, her? This is Kathryn, my girlfriend.'

'LAUGHING JACK! We're not dating!' She jokingly shouted, but kind of giggled at the idea.

'Yet.' Jack corrected, as the tall person took Kathryn's hand and kissed it.

'Lovely to meet you.' He spoke after the kiss, he then sighed. 'The name's Slenderman, but most people call me Slendy.'

Kathryn then did a little bow, smiling. 'Please to meet you, Slendy.' She then sgiggled, making Laughing Jack's heart flutter.

'That giggle, I've never heard such music as her's.' He thought, before remembering the plan. 'Anyway Slendy, we have a problem.'

'Of course we do! We need to introduce her to my brothers!' Slender then took Kathryn and dragged her into the centre of the house.

'Dear God.' Jack mumbled before following them.

In the centre of the house, a person that looked like Slender expect with glasses, a V-neck sweater and more modern clothes came up to Kathryn.

'Now Kathryn, this is Trenderman or Trendy.'

'Madame, it's lovely to meet you.' Trendy then kissed her hand again before leaving.

A sudden blast of air brushed across Kathryn's face as another faceless man came up to her. The only facial feature was a mouth, the man wore a big hat and didn't have a shirt under his jacket, making Kathryn uncomfortable.

'This is Sexual Offenderman or simply, Smexy.' Slenderman explained, Smexy was about to give Kathryn a rose when Slender slapped it out of his hand. 'Don't take the rose.'

'Sorry bro, but look at her! She's so hot!' Smexy then went to kiss her on the lips, Kathryn struggling against her will before the final Slender brother walked up.

'And finally...' Slender then used his tentacles to throw Smexy away from Kathryn to reveal a much happy man. He did have a face but still had the black suit only with rainbow spots on it and a top hat with spotty tentacles with bells on the end. 'The Splendorman or Splendy.'

Splendy hopped over to Kathryn and gave her a tight hug, Laughing Jack walking in the middle of the room and throwing his sword at the floor, causing everyone to look at him.

'Look guys, in case some of you forgot, I am a nutcracker now!' He growled, walking up to Kathryn and taking her from Slpendor's hold. 'Oh, and Kathryn's not normal. She's a shrunken mortal!'

Everyone stared at them, both of them cursed by Pencilneck's magic.

'Um, fellas, I think we can find a way to make a cure for this curse.' Slender sighed, the Slender brothers got up and left the room into the basement. 'Now, for a living place...' Slender then took the two out of the house and towards a strange road.


Inside what seems like to be a normal bakery, a pink mare giggled at her new batch of cupcakes. One of them was a demon red colour, this cupcake made from a centur. Another one had the colour of a butter cream, with a feather of the same colour sticking out. The final cupcake was a neon orange cupcake with another feather of orange on it.

The pink mare giggled, 'Looks like they'll think twice before saying my cupcakes are made from ponies.' She removed her apron as the door knocked, causing the mare to jump up. 'Oh no! That must be Zalgo!' She grabbed the red cupcake and ran to the door, only to find Slenderman standing there. 'Oh, hello Mr Slenderman. What can I do for you today?'

'Hello Pinkameana.' The Slenderman answered, bending down to her level. 'I know it's quite sudden but... Can you do a impossible task for me?'

'Of course Mr Slenderman.' She then bowed, as Slendy moved out the way to reveal Kathryn and Laughing Jack. Pinkameana was shocked. 'L-L-Laughing Jack? You're alive?'

'Of course I'm alive, nothing can stop this cosmic entity!' Jack chuckled, the pink mare smiling as she turned to the human girl.

'And...who's this?'

'Her name is Kathryn, now for your task.' The Slenderman continued. The pink mare sat down on the floor and looked up at the guy. 'Can you look after these two while me and my brothers find a cure for their curses.'

'Curses?'

'Well, you know that Laughing Jack was turned into a Nutcracker but Kathryn...she was shrunk in the human world by Pencilneck.'

'Ahhhh, I see. Of course I will look after them. Kathryn can be a helper at my bakery! Sound good Kathryn?'

'Y-Y-Yeah...' Kathryn asked, smiling while chuckling nervously.

Suddenly, a gold light engulfed the room, Slenderman, Pinkameana and Kathryn covering their eyes to protect them. When the light dimmed, the three rubbed their eyes to a horrifying surprise. Laughing Jack had turned back into his nutcracker form. Shrunken down smaller and made out of wood.

'Oh NO! We're too late!' Kathryn's eyes teared up as she picked up the nutcracker and held him close to her chest. The Slenderman went up to Kathryn to comfort her.

'Um... I'm guessing it's because that in your world, it's morning. So, the enchantment has gone. But don't worry, when night will arrive in your world, he'll be alive again.' Slender explained.

'Ok...' Kathryn kissed the wooden clown's lips before going upstairs.

'Where you going?' Pinkameana asked, following the girl upstairs. The Slenderman downstairs leaving the bakery to work on the cure.

Kathryn turned and smiled, petting the pony's mane with her free hand. 'I'm just going to hide him in case one of Zalgo's helpers or Zalgo himself comes to steal him.'

'That's a good plan, for a human, you're very brave.'

'Thank you. But, it wasn't easy.'

'Why?'

'Well, let's just say that I freaked out twice when I was first shrunken down.'

'Ah. Well, we better get started on selling those cupcakes!' The pink mare giggled, bouncing down the stairs as Kathryn looked down on her nutcracker. She went into a empty bedroom and hid him under the bed laying down.

'There, sleep tight Laughing Jack...' Kathryn smiled, before heading back down into the kitchen to help Pinkameana.
