Well, Jeanette has been bugg-..er..asking me to write more once again, so here we go!

--------------------------------------------

After lunch, some shopping, and a quick bus ride, the trio stepped out onto the soggy land of the Haunted Woods. Kylie shivered almost instantly.

"What kinda place is this?" she asked, looking around. Aeru followed behind her, looking quite scared. It looked like it was Halloween 24/7 here.

"GAH!" Whitney practically screeched as she saw a giant tree that appeared to have a brain instead of leaves. After her owner's scream, Misty, who was now on a rhinestone collar and leash, twisted herself around Whitney's legs.

"That's just the Brain Tree." Jeanette said, laughing as Whitney untangled herself. Kronk seemed quite amused with the young Lupe's antics. "You'll get used to it."

"Ooh, they have a fairground here?" Kylie asked, reading a old ricketty sign that said 'TO THE DESERTED FAIRGROUND', in what appeared to be red paint, followed by an arrow the same color.

"Er, you could say that." Jeanette said with a grin. "C'mon, we can go over there. It's really not horrible..really!" she said, seeing the unsure looks on their faces. It didn't take long to walk across the Haunted Woods, especially for Whitney, since when she saw a creature called the Esophagor screeching 'FEEEEED ME', she darted for the carnival, Misty speeding behind her. The carnival was scary to an extent, but at the same time, seemed quite fun.

"Sssscratch cardssss anyone?" a blue frog-like creature asked.

"Ooh scratch cards, fun! How much?" Whitney asked.

"One thoussssand two hundred neopointssss." he hissed. Whitney looked on with shock.

"For a lousy piece of paper that you scratch and probably don't even win anything with?! You're crazy! What a scam!" Whitney was still ranting when Jeanette pulled her away, laughing. "You didn't let me finish!"

"This isn't like the real world. One thousand two hundred neopoints is not that much, at all." she said. Kylie seemed to be holding in a burst of laughter. "Hey, you guys want to try the Wheel of Misfortune?" Jeanette asked.

"Wheel of Misfortune?" Kylie asked. "That doesn't sound very..erm..fortunate."

"Well, you can win neopoints, lose neopoints, get a stuffed toy, get a item destoryed, get a sick pet.."

"Uh, no thanks." Whitney said quickly. "How about we go somewhere else? Like one of those islands you mentioned? Uh..Crook Island or something?"

"Hmm, Krawk Island? I dunno..that place isn't exactly safe, full of pirates.."

"PIRATES?!" Whitney exclaimed. "Like Pirates of the Caribbean?! Like..Johnny Depp?!?!" she screeched. "Let's go!!" she said, running out of the carnival and across the Haunted Woods once again. Jeanette and Kylie exchanged glances.

"Never say 'pirates' around her, it can only result in disaster." Kylie said, laughing.

"Well..to Krawk Island it is!" Jeanette said, and the two ran to catch up with their pirate-obsessive friend.

I think I might have a chapter with us going to each world. It should be amusing..
