Chapter 4: The Search Continues!
I re-entered the living room, only to find that there was no one there.
"Where'd they go?" I asked, about to panic. Then I noticed the painting.
"Maybe they skidooed into that painting..." I thought. I tried it for myself. I swung my hips a bit.
"They skidooed, Devon can too!" I sang while doing that dance. Surprisingly, it worked, and I found myself in Felt Land, where the Felt Friends lived. I was in a little shop along with Joe and Blue. The boy Felt Friend, Freddie, swept up around the store, looking kind of sad, while the girl, Frieda, tried to remain as cheerful as she could while she was cashier.
"How may I help all of you?" Frieda said, losing her cheerfulness.
"Well, first I'd like to know why are you selling all of these things," I told her. A lot of the stuff looked like useless junk, and Frieda suddenly burst into tears.
"Well," she sniffed, "since we're probably going to be cancelled, we're selling all of our things to net a little more profit before it's time for so long...for good."
"The least we can do for her is buy at least one thing," Joe told us. "I only have about fifty cents on me. Kids, what's something we can buy that costs only fifty cents?"
"EVERYTHING costs only fifty cents!" the little girl from earlier squealed. On the shelves were a lava lamp, an old bottlecap collection, a pet rock...
"Let's just buy that old empty cassette case," Joe said. Freddie reached for it on the shelf and handed it to me. As I looked at it closely and turned it over, a blue paw print revealed itself to the audience.
"A clue, a clue!" one of the little kids shouted.
"One, two? Yeah, but we actually need THREE clues," I reminded the little kids cluelessly (no pun intended). Oh, no, I was catching the dreaded Blue's Clues virus!
"Nooooo, a clue!" the little kid answered.
"Oh, a clue!" I exclaimed.
"It's in your hands!" Then I saw the blue paw print.
"Oh! I get it! Our second clue is...not really a cassette case, but it's a glass prism! We'll have to put this in our handy-dandy----"
"NOTEBOOK!" the little kids shouted.
"You can draw this one if you want," Joe told me. I flipped in the notebook past the Lucky Charms drawing to the next blank page.
"Okay, a few lines here and here, and I'm done! A glass prism." I showed the little pre-K audience my picture. My drawing skills happened to be a lot better than Joe's.
"So our first clue was Lucky Charms..." Joe said, and the Lucky Charms doodle appeared on the screen above our heads.
"...and our second clue is a glass prism," I finished, and the glass prism doodle appeared. "These clues still don't make very much sense if we're trying to save Blue's Clues from cancellation, huh?"
"I'm afraid not, Devon," Joe said grimacing. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Another cliffhanger! I bet these clues aren't making much sense to you either, huh? Chapter 5 will be the last chapter. Will they figure out Blue's Clues to save the show from being cancelled? Will Devon ever get to see her parents again? Find out in the last chapter!
