Sarah woke up, disoriented and confused about where she was. She looked around and saw multiple other people, basically none of which she recognized. Sure, there were some people that look like who you'd usually see come from Elmore, but nothing too recognizable.

She looked around in a daze, and started walking, looking for nobody in particular. She ended up bumping into a certain 15-year old girl with a yellow skirt, brown hair, and a squirt flower on her shirt: Luan Loud.

"Oh, hey there, I guess," Sarah said. "Uh, I'm Sarah. Sarah G. Lato."

"Ice to meet you, Sarah. (laughs) Get it? I'm Luan Loud." Luan said, holding out her hand. Sarah grabbed her hand, only to get a shock from a joy buzzer.

"I'm guessing you're definitely one for jokes," Sarah said, still surprised by the joy buzzer.

Suddenly, Sarah notices a certain pink starfish with green and purple shorts running towards her.

"A TALKING ICE CREAM CONE!" said the starfish, who we likely know at this point is Patrick Star.

"Woah! Who are you?!" Sarah screamed, jumping a little bit.

"I'M PATRICK!" Patrick cheered.

"Well, nice to meet you, Patrick," Sarah said, a little shocked.

"I'm guessing you're the star of the show where you come from. Get it?" Luan joked.

"Well, not exactly. The place where my best friend Spongebob works, The Krusty Krab, is much more popular than I am." Patrick said. "Speaking of Spongebob, where is he?"

"Well, what does he look like?" Sarah asked.

"Well, he's a square sponge with square pants."

"Nope. Never heard of him. Except for that one show that I saw a clip of while my siblings were fighting over the TV. But I don't think that was the person you're talking about. He didn't wear pants." Luan replied.

"NOOOOOOO! SPONGEBOB!" Patrick cried out into the sky.

"What's going on here?" Soos said, walking to where the group was.

"Uhh, who even are you?" Luan asked.

"My name is Soos. I come from Gravity Falls."

"Never heard of it," Sarah said.

Meanwhile, a relatively concerned Blossom was gathering a group of people to form a crowd.

"I think we need to answer the obvious question: WHERE ARE WE?!" Blossom asked, on a stage in the middle of the strange city everyone was in.

"No idea," said Grandpa Phil, in front of the crowd.

"Ditto." said Mr. Egg, standing near the back of the crowd.

Luan, Sarah, Patrick, and Soos noticed the crowd forming, and decided to look and see what was going on.

"Why are you guys all crowded up here?" Sarah said.

"We're trying to find out why we're in this strange city. My name's Carlota, by the way. Carlota Casagrande."

"Oh! I remember seeing one of your videos in my recommended section once!" Luan said.

"And who are all these people?" Patrick asked.

"Well, (pointing to the people she's mentioning) there's Blossom, Phil Shortman, Nigel Thornberry, Frankie Foster, Candace Flynn, Princess Bubblegum, Mr. Egg, X, Amethyst, Louie Duck, and Sprig Plantar. Who are you guys?"

"Name's Sarah G. Lato."

"Luan Loud."

"Patrick Star."

"Soos Ramírez."

"Nice to meet you guys." Carlota said.

Suddenly, a huge shadow flew over everyone's heads.

"(talking to Louie and Amethyst) And then he said to me 'You're a true yellow friend!' And then I said-WHAT IN THE NAME OF THE EQUATION PLAYGROUND IS THAT?!" X screamed.

Everyone looked up to see a huge gray box looming over everyone. A handbook falls from the sky, hitting Candace in the head.

"Ouch."

"Wait, hold on." Blossom said, taking the book and taking a close look at it.

City Handbook

"City Handbook?" Blossom opened the book. "(reading the book) Hello, everyone. As you may know, you are in a city. I know you may be wondering 'Where are my friends and family?' Well, they are currently trapped in a box. But don't worry, they will still be able to survive. Every week, two people from the box will be released. But anyways, you'll still be able to do stuff. Here are the living arrangements:

House 1: Soos Ramírez and Carlota Casagrande"

Soos scooted over to Carlota.

"House 2: Frankie Foster and Candace Flynn"

Candace looked at Frankie.

"House 3: Grandpa Phil Shortman and Amethyst"

Amethyst looked at Grandpa Phil.

"House 4: Patrick Star and Louie Duck"

Patrick went over to Louie and smiled at him.

"House 5: Mr. Egg and Princess Bubblegum"

Mr. Egg looked at Princess Bubblegum, confused.

"House 6: Sprig Plantar and Nigel Thornberry"

"A talking frog! This is interesting!" Nigel said, writing some stuff down in a notepad.

"House 7: Sarah G. Lato and Luan Loud"

"Great! I have someone to test my jokes on!" Luan said.

"And I have someone to test my fanfiction on!" Sarah said, to which Luan nervously chuckled.

"and House 8: X and I."

"Hiya, Blossom." X said, walking onto the stage.

"(still reading) And here is a map of the city. Feel free to explore. From, The Leader. (not reading) Alright, I think that's it. You know what? Why don't we get into our houses for the night? You know, get used to it. It's been an interesting day."

"Sure." everyone said.

Everyone goes into their houses.

In House 1

"So, is there anything that could be used to record things? I need some way to record for my blog." Carlota said.

"Here. (gives Carlota a camera)."

In House 2

Frankie and Candace are preparing their beds for the night.

In House 3

Grandpa Phil and Amethyst are sleeping.

In House 4

"Oh my goodness! We are gonna have so much fun together! What do you want to do first?" Patrick cheered.

"Sleep."

In House 5

"Good night, Mr. Egg."

"Goodnight."

In House 6

"You know, tomorrow, maybe we should go on a small adventure tomorrow. You know, to get to know each other."

"That would be great!"

In House 7

"Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

In House 8

"So, I guess this is when we sleep. Goodnight, Blossom."

"Goodnight, X."

However, when everyone was asleep, a shadow walked into the city and snuck into House 7. A shadow by the name of Lincoln Loud.

"I'm sure my sister won't mind if I give her a little curse." he said to himself, slipping a journal into Luan's closet.

He quickly got out of the house and out of the city, into the forest surrounding it.
