"So this is it? This is the emerald apple?" Claire said. It looked just like New York, except greener.
"Yeah, what did you expect? Giant green crystals?" Serena said, chuckling a little.
"Um, yeah, kind of," Mike said. Everyone was looking up at the very green representation of New York. Then, after being poked by Serena again, they kept on walking. Soon, they came up to the gate of the city.
"Halt, who goes there and all that stuff?" a voice echoed from the gate.
"Briscoe? Is that you? Can't you just let us in?" Mike said, sighing slightly.
"No, unfortunately, my orders are to give you a hard time but still let you in anyway," Lennie said.
"Oh, come on Lennie, can't you just let us in? We came all this way and I want to be alive again!" Claire said, exasperated.
"I want you to be alive to, but I'm under orders and all," Lennie said, dismayed.
"Look, I'm going to break the friggin' gate down if you don't just let us in!" Claire said, very agitated. "Wait a minute, aren't you in a coma, too?"
"Love to see you hold such concern for me, counselor," Lennie said, sarcastically. "Anyway, I really have no idea. Because, you have no idea... This being your consciousness and all."
"Wait... can't you channel the Lennie in the real world or something? I need to know what's going on in reality," Claire said, frustrated.
"Can you please let us in? I don't really want to stand out here all day," Mike said.
"Look, I'm really tired of you all whining. Blah, blah, horse of a different color, blah blah," Lennie said, opening the gate.
"Finally," Claire groaned. "Now we can get out of here. I really just want to get out of my own head. I've seen it for awhile and frankly I'm quite disturbed."
"I am too Claire," Jack said. They all proceeded to walk into the emerald apple.
"You are supposed to be more supportive, Jack! You want me back, don't you?" Claire walked closer to Jack.
"Of course I do Claire. Besides, anything I say, it's your fault, because this is all in your head," Jack said.
"Please stop reminding me," Claire groaned. They continued to walk through the city, when a cab, changing colors of course, drove up. "Isn't it supposed to be a horse?"
"Oh, please. When is the last time you saw a horse just walking around New York City?" Serena said.
"Well, I haven't ever seen Ben dressed up as a lion before this either," Claire pointed out.
"And you never will again. I still find this ridiculous," Ben grumbled.
"Oh, be quiet. We will be out of here soon enough," Claire said.
"Let's just get into the trippy cab, okay?" Mike said. "This is really weird and I would like to not be a scarecrow anymore."
They all approached One Hogan Place... greener of course. They approached the way larger than life door, knocked on it. No one answered for a few minutes, and Claire got impatient and started kicking open the door.
A little window on the top opened and Jamie Ross appeared. "What do you want? The DA is very busy."
"I want to get out of here. They just came along because it was part of the story. They are supposed to want stuff too..."
"Yeah, he wants a brain," Mike grumbled, "and he wants courage," Ben grumbled, "and supposedly I want a heart," Jack said.
"Who's she?" Jamie scowled at Serena.
"She's supposed to be the good witch, but she keeps following us," Claire said, rolling her eyes.
"Well, I still have to give you a hard time," Jamie started.
"Oh, no, not again... C'mon, this is too much," Claire said, banging on the door.
"Hey! Stop that! Look, I'm just going to let you in, because I didn't want to listen anyways," Jamie said, defeated. She stepped back and the door opened.
"Finally, we got here. Now I can get out of this bizarre place and back to my life," Claire said. They walked through the hallways, looking around everywhere as they went.
Suddenly, they heard a booming voice coming from the room. "What do you want?"
Everyone suddenly recognized the voice. "Oh come on. We don't need the big screen. We don't even need to send the dog," at the mention of him the dog barked, "to pull it down. Come on out, Adam," Jack said, irritated and unimpressed.
Adam pulled the curtain back, grumbled a bit, and stepped forward. "Okay, so you got me. Now why are you here? And make it quick because I just want to get out of here."
"I want to get out of my own head and back to the real world," Claire said. "They all just are coming along because it's part of the plot."
"Yeah, I was just going to tell them they were all hopeless anyways... So this saves time," Adam grumbled. The three men tagging along glared slightly.
"Now, can you send me back or what?" Claire demanded impatiently.
"If you'd wait I would tell you! I would, but I really want you to stick around and get rid of that Carmichael girl," Adam continued. "So, be on with you!" he made a shooing motion with his hand.

"Did you see that Rey? Your plan didn't work! You've failed me!" Abbie yelled across a room in the castle.
"What? They made it?" Rey said in disbelief. "I was sure that would work."
"The stupid blond had to go and wake them up! They all got to the Emerald Apple and the DA sent them after us!" Abbie said. "You have to send the flying defense attorneys after them!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Claire, Mike, Jack, Ben, and Serena left the Emerald apple, slightly angry. Okay, maybe a little more than slightly...
"I can't believe that! We come all this way and nothing! And he just sends us off to do his bidding!" Claire ranted as they walked along. They reached the gate
"Can I come along?" Lennie said as they were leaving. "I don't feel like guarding this gate anymore."
"Sure, why not?" Logan said. Lennie got down from the guard place and started walking with them.
"Why does Detective Logan get to invite all these people when I'm the protagonist?" Claire wondered aloud.
"Stop talking and get moving, all of you!" Serena said, waving her staff wildly. They all looked slightly afraid as they quickly picked up the pace on their way to complete the DA's mission.
Wow... this has become so much longer than I'd imagined... oh well... Should be only one chapter, maybe one and an epilogue. Well, I hope you all like this chapter! If anyone has any requests for characters you want thrown in the last chapter, leave it in the review!
