The day the invention was delivered had arrived, and Sniffles got up early to get it out of the box, he recently started to build it, fast. Excited by the test, Sniffles took a picture of the cage like machine and posted it to his tumblr account. He even sent it to Nutty, who was putting on his candy on his head and torso.

Seeing the image he knew it was time for the test, so he quickly got got a bag of candy canes that sniffles needed for the experiment and ran out of his house before noticing a missing poster...of Cuddles and Toothy...

They were missing for a while now..and nutty hoped the police would find them soon...

Once he arrived at sniffles' place, knowing that sniffles was in there, he walks in anxiously and puts one of the candy canes on a nearby table.

"Oh hey Nutty!" Sniffles greets.

"H-...hey Sniffles.." Nutty replies with a little startle in his voice.

"Is everything okay?"

"Um...no..."

"You're still worried about the machine...are you?"

"Yeah..."

Sniffles grabbed the candy cane placed on the table and patted Nutty on the head telling him that he will be okay.

"Come, the invention is over here!" Sniffles pointed over to a dark doorway with lights hanging down from the ceiling creating a blue like color. As sniffles went down it, while nutty followed behind.

They went past some odd rooms and doors on each side, while Nutty got a good look on what each experiment is, some weren't so bad including, rainbow in a jar, tornado in a bottle, grow crystals, invisible ink, to thing wired and stranger names like, two headed dogs, Testicle Transplants, unit 731, MKUltra, and...zombie dogs...

"...what do you need zombie dogs for, Sniffles..?"

Sniffles, confused by what nutty asked approached the door then realizing what he meant and try not to scare him, thought up of an excuse.

"For eating burglar's brains!" Sniffles responded.

Nutty was a little freaked out by the response but shrugged it off as they continued walking, until nutty heard some whips and a cow mooing. Looking over to his right he sees a cow hanging upside down mooing his head off, while four robots are whipping it like it's a dummy. Nutty was as just as uncomfortable as Sniffles was.

"...I don't wanna talk about this one..."

Sniffles grabs Nutty's paw and dragged him away from the door, they are now passing odd rooms which are getting creepier and creepier until they made to to one door.

"Well this is it! Your gonna love this!" Sniffles told nutty. The squirrel looked up the door and it said, "The Dream Cage"

The room was filled with a lot of test tubes, beakers, anything science related, and in the middle was a huge cage with the door opened, Nutty knew it was the dream cage.

"Ok so While I turn this into part of the invention, you can explore the place, just don't touch anything ok?" Sniffles explained to the squirrel who nodded in agreement.

Sniffles gave him a "ok sign" and walked off to the table to make the "potion", Nutty notices in the corner of his eye, a pink and blue lollipop. Thinking it's dangerous, he carefully approached it and licked it slowly. Seeing it didn't kill him, he bit all down and began to have a sugar rush, laughing and jumping around like a jackhammer.

After a while Sniffles calls nutty over to tell him that it's done and took Nutty to where the machine is, handing him the beaker with the crumbled candy cane crumbs and water inside.

"For this test, I will be testing the effects of the dreams that are minded in a tree friends' head. So will you drink the potion that I gave you, and step into the cage and lay down in it?"

Nutty was confused by the test but drank the whole candy cane potion in the beaker, and entered the cage and lied on his stomach using his arms like a pillow, suddenly a helmet put in his head, and was strapped in as he felt it snap on.

"You will be faced with demons that will look like your friends and will rest in your mind with a unknown origin, and hexes of various kind... it's watch out for them not all surprises are friendly... I hope you understand this." Sniffles then pulls the lever which triggers the helmet, "good luck!"

Nutty eventually feels tired and weak...until finally...he falls asleep...and the cage starts to lower...
