... I got nothing going on in my life... XD
Oh, and here's answering Starfire 16's question and probably everyone else;
"Are Chiro, Nova, and Antauri going to appear?"
The answer: Yes, all of them will appear! Chiro will appear in a couple more chapters along with Antauri. Nova will appear towards the end.
I hope that answers you guys' question!
Alright, this chapter, Mari and her friends find this building, but Gibson's suspicious about it.
R&R to find out!

SRMTHFG! in: The Wizard of Oz!

Chapter 11

"I was so scared at first, but I made it! Can you believe it? I made it!"

Otto has been telling us his side of the story when he crossed the log for the last several minutes. Gibson tried his best to ignore it, Taeta was listening to the cross-breed as if she didn't know what happened, and Sparx just smirked at his work. I smiled at our now enthusiastic friend.

"You were great, Otto." I said to him.

Otto looked at me with his mouth open as he smiled.

"Really? I was?" He gave me huge puppy dog eyes that made him looked a thousand times cuter.

This made me stare at him.

"Oh my gosh, he's like Taeta when she was a kitten, BUT CUTER! I did not know that was possible!" I thought.

I eventually smiled and nodded my head. "Yeah, you were."

"Wow! I can't believe it! I really am braver than I thought!" he said, his big eyes now watering up. "I'm so happy!"

Gibson rolled his eyes.

"Oh, please! Why in the land of Oz would anyone make such a big deal about this?"

The tin-monkey stopped, staring at something. All of us stopped, looking at him.

"Gibson, what is it?" I asked.

"Up ahead." he said, pointing at it.

We looked, staring at the object quizically. Blocking the road, there was a 30 storied building that was the color of opal. There was windows covering the entire building and a sliding door in front. It had a flat roof on top, and in big yellow letters it read;

POPPY'S HOTEL AND RESTAURANT

Growwwll...

"AHH! What was that?" exclaimed Otto as he hug my leg.

"Oh sorry, that was stomach. I'm actually pretty hungry." Taeta apologized.

"Mm... maybe we could stop real quick to eat..." I suggested as Otto slid off my leg.

"That is a terrible idea." Gibson said.

"Why? The building is blocking the road so we might as well go through it." Sparx said.

The scientist sighed in disappointment. "Alright, but it better be quick..."

Taeta smiled and began to run towards the hotel/restaraunt. Making sure she didn't get into trouble, we followed her. Inside, the lights were purple and the walls were decorated with pictures of different colored poppies. Smoke machines were on behind a gaudy jazz band as people ate on white clothed tables. A man with long brown dreadlocked hair came to us. He wore a black leather jacket over his gaudy shirt, had black leather pants, black boots, and black sunglasses over his eyes. He had a piercing on his chin and right eyebrow.

" 'ello folks. How many in your party?" he had a British accent of a sort.

"Five." I answer.

He took a closer look at us, and smirked as he chuckled. "Alright, this way."

We followed him and he showed us a table.

"Sit down and I'll take your orders shortly. I need to take care of some buisness."

We nodded our heads and he turned to leave. Before he left the room, he looked at the jazz band and moved his head slightly towards us. The band nodded their heads and he walked into another room. Gibson eyed the host and the band suspiciously.

"Did anyone see-?"

"Wow, look at these flowers!" Taeta said, looking at the centerpiece of poppies.

"Why should I even bother?" Gibson muttered to himself.

"Mari, I don't remember you having these flowers in your garden!" the Bengal said to me.

"You have a garden?" Sparx asked me.

"Well... I'm trying to grow one." I admitted.

Otto smelled the poppies. "Hey, they smelll nice!"

We heard beeping from the tin-monkey all of the sudden.

"Hm? Oh, my 'Danger Meter' is reacting! Uh..." the scientist pressed against his 'satellite ears' and stood silent for a while as the music got louder.

"According to my calculations the Papavers, or "poppies", are known to have a genuine scent, causing animals to fall into a slumber once scented."

"What?" the golden/green lion asked. "That's silly! How can a little flower make-?"

But he closed his eyes and began to snore. After a couple of seconds, he fell off his seat. Sparx looked at the sleeping creature.

"Hey, fraidy cat, you alright?"

I covered my mouth as I yawned. "He's okay... You know;"

Sparx and Gibson noticed I began swaying back and forth in my seat.

"I think we should just stay here forever and forget about the Wizard..."

My eyelids drooped over my eyes, and I fell onto the carpet floor.

"Sis, sis?" he said, softly shaking me.

"Hey guys!" the Bengal cat said, also swaying on the table. "Try to feel the table cloth! It's so... comfy~"

She fell on the table and snored lightly.

"Furball?" Sparx panicked, getting up from his seat. He looked at the scientist.

"What's wrong with them?" he demanded.

The scientist looked at the band and then the restaraunt for a while.

"Gibson!" the scarecrow said to him.

"The poppies are causing them to sleep! We must get them outside!"

The scarecrow placed the cat under his hat and dragged me by my arms. Gibson grabbed Otto's tail and tried to drag him with all his might.

"Great Scott, he's heavier than he looks!" he thought as he dragged the cross-breed.

As thet dragged us outside, a face of horror appeared over Otto, Taeta and my face.

And... CLIFFHANGER!
Who can guess why the three have faces like those?
