Chapter 5, The House

Upon landing inside this house, Rosie looked down to see a cricket staring at her, with a face that resembled Dil's.

"Well hello there, welcome to the home of Tommy the dust bunny. I am Dil the cricket, who are you?" Asked Dil the cricket.

"My name is Rosie. I was enjoying a lovely concert being put on by the dandelion choir, when a giant leprechaun who resembled an evil villan of mine back home named Reggie, chased me away, and sent me into this house. Speaking of Tommy the dust bunny though, is he home? I've been trying to find him, but I lost sight of him when I fell into a rabbit whole, and have been on quite an adventure up to this point." Explained Rosie.

"Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you Rosie, but Tommy the dust bunny isn't home. He was running late for an important party, and is hopefully, off at his activity right now. However, I am his humble servant, and I'd be happy to make your stay a good one. Can I get you anything? Something to drink? A Reptar bar perhaps?" Asked Dil the cricket.

Rosie stood there, as she thought for a minute before replying.

"A Reptar bar sounds delicious!" Said Rosie, as Dil the cricket climbed on to a nearby table, grabbed a Reptar bar, and tossed it in Rosie's direction.

Rosie picked up the Reptar bar and ate it, forgetting the consequence of eating those in this land. Before she could stop herself though, she grew once again to the size of Reptar, taking up the entire space of Tommy the dust bunny's house, unable to move, being trapped by its walls.

"Help! Help!" Bellowed the rather large Rosie, as her loud voice echoed throughout the land, causing an earthquake to start as a result of the vibrations of her voice.

The earthquake in turn, caused the house to shatter into a bazillion little pieces, leaving the large Rosie outdoors, surrounded by a pile of debree.

"Oh no! What have I done! Tommy the dust bunny, if you can hear me, I'm sorry, I'm so terribly sorry." Cried the large Rosie, as tears fell, creating a river, which washed away the wood splinters that once made up Tommy the dust bunny's house.

No sooner had this happened, when Tommy the dust bunny, came swimming by. Noticing the rather large Rosie, he climbed up on to her, till he reached her large hand.

"Don't worry about it. I prefer to sleep under the stars anyway." Said Tommy the dust bunny, with a smile on his face.

Rosie squinted down at the tiny bunny in her hand, making out his wide eyes and smile, thankful he was ok with her destroying his house.

"You didn't by chance, destroy my servant, Dil the cricket, did you? After all, he was like a brother to me." Screamed Tommy the dust bunny at the top of his lungs, so the giant Rosie would hear him.

"Oh no, I hope not." Bellowed the giant Rosie in a worried voice.

Just then, Dil the cricket came floating by on a piece of the wood that once made up their house.

"No worries Tommy, I made it." Said Dil the cricket.

Rosie breathed a sigh of release.

"You do seem quite friendly, and seeing that you meant no harm, may I offer you a piece of broccoli?" Asked Tommy the dust bunny in his loudest voice possible so that Rosie could hear him.

"That would be lovely!" Rosie cried, as to her, a speck of broccoli fell into her hand, placed there by Tommy the dust bunny.

She put the speck of broccoli into her mouth, and no sooner had she swallowed it, when Rosie shrunk back down to her regular size. Now, the Dust bunny and the cricket were larger, more of the size they should be.

"It's nice to finally meet you Tommy. So, did you enjoy your party? Dil tolded me you were off to a party." Said Rosie.

"Oh my gosh, you're right! I'm really late now, I just hope I didn't miss it. Sorry but, I've gots to go." Said Tommy the dust bunny, who scurried away from Rosie, before she could utter another word.

"Well I'm off to find some leaves to eat, see you around." Said Dil the cricket, as he floated away on his wooden raft, through what remained of Rosie's tear puddle, that hadn't evaporated from the warm sun hitting it.

Rosie decided to get up and go exploring some more, when she heard a voice from above her, counting by two's.

"Two, four, six, eight, ten. Ten, eight, six, four, two." The voice sang out in song, somewhere above Rosie's head.

And who is this mysterious voice? You'll have to wait until the next chapter, to find out.

Author's Note: Well, I do have to see to getting ready for school, and going through emails while I still have time to do so. And, after mapping out this story, and my other story that's currently in progress, titled, A Long Weekend for Tommy and Zack, I picture both of these stories, being 12 chapters in length, and at the moment, both stories are up to having 5 chapters published. Hopefully, I can type up chapter 6 in both stories today while I have some downtime out at school, and one chapter in each story over the next six days, starting tomorrow, but again, time will tell. For now, I hope you're enjoying this story, and my other story that's in progress, and, we'll talk soon.
