Chapter Sixteen
(Hey, y'all!
Still no shout-outs or fun facts…but don't worry! I'll try to find a good fun fact and then, I'll probably write it in the next chapter.
Attention, this is important!
If you haven't heard of these songs that were played in The Wizard Of Oz:
Munchkin Land
Ding Dong! The Witch Is Dead!
Lullaby League
Lollipop Guild,
Go on YouTube or watch the movie on your computer or television and listen to these songs.
Also, here is another link for another YouTube video and it's also going to be used in the chapter:
watch?v=iNaUaS46x2A
Don't play the link of this song until you see this (*) next to Beatrice's name and play the video on fourteen second mark.
I'm sorry if this is too much but sometimes reading is fun when you listen to music.

Tommy:
"Why is the wind 'bowring' so hard?!" Smarty exclaimed as he held his hat down on his head.
"I'm sure if this is what we call 'severe weather'!" I yelled as I squinted my eyes.
The wind that the Toon Patrol and I are walking through was blowing really hard. In fact, it was blowing so hard that it nearly blew us off our feet. Psycho was holding on to my shoulders and his whole body was waving like a flag with that hard wind blowing.
Then, a teen girl's voice says my name.
"TOOOOOOOMMMMMYYYYYY!" The voice called in the wind.
"Is that Beatrice calling your name?!" Sleazy shouted.
"It's a different voice!" I replied.
Then, the voice called my name again.
After I heard that voice, I saw two persons with over-the-shoulder bags running towards me and the weasels.
"TOOOOOMMMMMY, IS THAT YOU?!" The tall person called to me.
I cupped my hands around my mouth and shouted,
"WHO…ARE YOU?!"
"WE'RE CRESSIDA AND PENELOPE! WE'RE FRIENDS OF YOUR SISTER!" The tall person replied. I think she's Cressida.
When Cressida and…Penelope came closer to me and the Toon Patrol, I got a better look of their frightened looks and they had the most frightened looks that I've ever seen in my life.
"Where's Beatrice?!" I exclaimed.
"She ran back to get my sister's doll! She's catching up to us!" Cressida exclaimed.
Penelope tapped her finger on Cressida's shoulder.
"Cressida, is he the Tommy that Beatrice was talking about?" She asked.
"Beatrice said that the Tommy that we're looking for is a boy with a blue eye and a green eye and he probably has toon weasels following him." Cressida replied. "Since there are toon weasels with him, this is the right Tommy!"
"WAIT! YOU CAN SEE US?!" Smarty exclaimed.
"I'll explain that later! Right now, Beatrice wants us to go to a storm cellar and she says that it's somewhere in the woods! There's a tornado, an F5, Beatrice says, and we need to get to that storm cellar right now!"
"WHAT'S A TORNADOOOOO?!" Psycho exclaimed as Stupid and Wheezy pulled him off my shoulders.
Then, with concern and worry, Greasy and I tried to take off running but Flasher and Smarty pulled me back while Psycho and Sleazy pulled back Greasy, preventing us from taking off.
"GREASY, THOMAS! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Sleazy shouted.
"We got to go get BEATRICE!" I exclaimed.
"SHE SHOULDN'T BE OUT THERE IN THAT STORM!" Greasy exclaimed while we tried to run.
"WELL, IT'S TOO LATE FOR THAT! THE STORM IS PROBABLY CATCHING UP TO US RIGHT NOW!" Flasher exclaimed.
Then, Cressida exclaimed,
"I found the cellar! It's over there! Let's go in there RIGHT NOW! Don't worry, Tommy! Beatrice says that she's coming!"
"I HOPE SO!" Greasy and I exclaimed.
"COME ON! LET'S GO TO THE STORM CELLAR!" Slimy exclaimed.
We all took off running, following Cressida and Penny as we dodged flying debris and jumped over trees that have been knocked down by the wind. After a few minutes of doing those things, we came to a small but wide slope, at least five feet long and four feet wide, with two doors lying down with a lock.
"IT'S LOCKED!" Cressida exclaimed.
"HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET IN?!" I asked.
Then, something touches the left side of my hips. It was a tube of a gun.
"EVERYBODY, STAND BACK!" Wheezy said as he walked with his tommy gun.
He aimed the gun at the lock and with three shots, the lock breaks off.
"Everybody, get in the cellar right now!" Cressida exclaimed and opened the doors.
While Sleazy, Penny, Psycho, Smarty, Cressida, Stupid, Wheezy, Flasher, and Slimy walked in to the storm cellar, Greasy gasped in shock.
"THOMAS!" He exclaimed.
"WHAT?!" I asked.
"BÚSQUEDA POR ALLÍ! NO VE LO QUE PIENSO QUE VEO?!"
Greasy said: "Look up there! Do you see what I think I see?!"
He pointed to something in front of us and I saw the tornado. Then, I saw something that was getting carried by the tornado and it was spinning around as it was heading its way towards the sky.
It was not a tree…it was…Grandpappy's house. Beatrice is probably trapped in there. She's not going to make it back.
Greasy and I watched in horror as we watched the house getting carried away.
…..
*Beatrice:
I was slowly coming back to consciousness and everything felt like life was frozen in place with a blowing sound playing.
Come on, Beatrice! I told myself. Wake up! Wake up! The tornado's probably gone now.
All of the sudden, I heard something cluck.
A chicken? I thought.
I opened my eyes and I looked out of the window.
Floating around in the air with a background of speeding blurs was a chicken coop and there were two chickens and one rooster. While they slowly drifted away to the right side of the house, the rooster crowed really loudly before disappearing.
Then, something got in to my eye and I looked away from the window.
After I rubbed my eye, a familiar honking sound catches my attention and I turned back to the window.
A hippie van was floating in the air while the wheels acted like they were moving the car on an invisible road. Then, VJ, who's driving the van, rolls down the window and waved at me.
I waved back at him as he disappears after moving to the right side of the house.
Then, a cow, although it was standing still, comes in to my view and it spins around slowly as it moos. Like the chickens, rooster, VJ, and the van, the cow disappears after moving to the right side of the house.
I heard a dog barking and then, two fishermen on a motorboat come in to my view. The propeller of the motor boat spins like it was trying to make the boat move in an invisible body of water. One of the fishermen 'seas' (get it? 'sees' and 'seas'!) me and waves his hand, as if he was saying 'Hello'.
The fishermen and the boat disappear to the other side of the house, never to be seen again…like the other things that have passed by.
I got up from the bed and I looked down when I made it to the window. I was shocked to see that with the house, I was more than two hundred feet up in the air. I stepped away from the window and thought,
Obviously, I must be up inside the twister.
I looked back at the window and two more bits of debris passed by. Then, a familiar-looking person on a bike with skinny wheels and pedaling their bike pedals at a speed of a Toon who would run in place and taking off with smoke trailing behind them.
I gasped at the sight the person in horror.
"MR. D!" I exclaimed.
He doesn't see me and he continues to pedal like there's no tomorrow and in a flash of green and sickly yellow lights and smoke, Mr. D transforms into…a witch in a black outfit, black pointed hat, and green skin with a broomstick in between his legs. Mr. D no longer looked like Doom before exposing himself as a Toon who killed Eddie's brother. He was now a Toon with green skin with red eyes and a loose, black drape-like cape flapped in the wind as he flew in the air. The Witch cackled madly in a high, squeaky voice.
"AHHHHH HEEE HEEE HA HA HA HA!" The Witch laughed.
Then, he flew away and all of the sudden, the tornado begins to cease and watched the clouds and bits of debris go up as the house falls down.
As the house continued to fall, everything in the room, including I, began to float up like there was no gravity around.
I was screaming my head off as the house was spinning and falling and the sky was moving upward as the house was getting dropped back on the land.
Finally, the house spun three more times and it landed with a really, really, really loud CRASH!
And everything in the room fell back to their original places and I landed on my stomach with a "UMPH" coming out of mouth.
