It was daylight by the time Gobo woke up. He stood up, feeling a little disoriented.
"Oooh . . . ." Gobo groaned. "What hit me?"
The orange Fraggle shook his head to regain his composure, and looked around. He saw that he was in some kind of circular stone chamber, and there was no way out. He looked around the room, and spotted Lou against the wall, still unconscious. He ran over to her, grabbed her shoulder, and began shaking it.
"Wake up, Lou!" he shouted.
"Mmmph . . . ." Lou mumbled, and she slowly began to regain consciousness. "Where are we?"
"I don't know, but I don't like it," Gobo said. "We're trapped. Lilith probably sent us here to keep us from finding out how to break her sleeping spell!"
"There has to be a way out of here! But where is it? I wish I had the amulet. Then we'd be out of here easily!"
Gobo and Lou searched the room frantically, tapping on walls, and stomping on stones in the floor, hoping to open any secret passages, but nothing happened. Finally, Gobo saw something in the center of the room. It looked like a pair of frog eyes. The minute he touched it, a glass case rose up from the floor, containing a book.
"There's no way to open this case," he said.
"I think I know a way," Lou said, spotting a hammer that suddenly appeared on the floor. She picked it up, and smashed the glass. Then she picked up the book and opened it. A light shone out of it, and projected an image of Marjory the Trash Heap in front of the two Fraggles.
"Oh, thank goodness!" Marjory shouted. "I was afraid I'd lost contact with you Fraggles!"
"Madam Trash Heap, is that you?" Gobo asked.
"Who were you expecting, Junior Gorg?" the Trash Heap asked.
"Where are you?" Lou asked.
"Where I always am," Marjory said. "In the Gorg's garden. I'm able to communicate with you through the magic book there. The magic here is strong, my little Fraggles. Lilith put you two in Dream Prison to keep you from breaking her sleeping spell. There is a magic flower on one of the walls. You must touch it, and you will be able to escape! Then you must escape the other two chambers of the Dream Prison."
"It's never easy, is it?" Gobo asked.
"Don't look at me, I'm just an oracle," Marjory said.
The flower picture the Trash Heap mentioned suddenly appeared on one of the walls. Lou touched it, and the wall opened. Immediately, she and Gobo ran out. The next room had a large tree growing in the center of it, but the two Fraggles paid it no heed. They saw the door on the other end was open, and they ran for it. Before they reached it, it closed on them, and the tree began shedding it's bark, revealing animal shapes carved into the trunk underneath it.
"We'd better find the animal shapes and put them back in the tree," Gobo said, and he began searching the ground for the shapes.
It didn't take too long for Gobo and Lou to find the animal shapes. Once they found all five pieces, they put them back into the tree, but nothing happened.
"Did we do something wrong?" Gobo asked.
"No, not at all," Marjory said. "Now you have to put the bark back on the tree to open the door."
Gobo shrugged, and he and Lou gathered up the pieces of tree bark the tree had shed. Once they put it back, the door on the other side of the room opened. The next room had a large pool of water in it. The way out was on the other side, and there was no way to cross it.
"Well, I don't mind a little swimming," Gobo said, shrugging.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Marjory said.
"Why not?" Gobo asked.
"It's too deep to swim," Marjory explained. "I know you Fraggles are excellent swimmers, but I wouldn't recommend it. In any case, after you leave here, you will be where the fairies originated."
"But how will we get out of here?" Lou asked.
"You have to solve the wall puzzles before you can cross the reflecting pool," Marjory said.
"Makes sense," Gobo said, shrugging. "Lou, you take the left wall, and I'll take the right wall."
"And I'll be in Scotland beforrrrrrre ya!" Marjory suddenly sang, rolling the R. "La da dah, la da dah, la da dah, la da, dah . . . ."
"What?!" Gobo and Lou shouted in unison.
"Sorry, I got a little carried away there," Marjory said.
Gobo and Lou looked at each other, sighed, and went to their respective walls. Lou's wall had fourteen tiles on it. Each tile had a line on it that was used to form a shape. There was a diamond, a square, and what looked like a peanut shell. When she touched the wall, the tiles disappeared, and then reappeared, only this time, they were scrambled. Immediately, Lou took the tiles off and began rearranging them until they were in there rightful places. Gobo's wall was the same, except his had only one squiggly circular shape. Once he was finished, he and Lou stood in front of the reflecting pool, and waited. Two stepping stones appeared in the water.
"Choose your path carefully, Fraggles," Marjory said. "One stone is the correct path, the other is a trick."
"That figures," Gobo sighed. "And I don't suppose you can tell us which is which?"
"I'm afraid not," Marjory said. "Believe me, Fraggles, I am doing all I can. If I could do more, you wouldn't have had to go all the way to Fraggledonia and the Fairy Realm, now would you?"
"She's got a point, Gobo," Lou said.
Gobo sighed, and he and Lou got started. When they chose the correct stone, two more appeared. Gobo jumped to one of them, but the minute he landed, it disappeared, and he plunged into the water.
"Aaahhh!" he shouted. Suddenly, he floated out of the water, and was placed on the previous stone.
"I warned you to choose carefully," the Trash Heap said. "I will help you out of the water if you choose incorrectly, but next time, be careful!"
"Right," Gobo said, wringing out his shirt. "Thanks, Madam Heap."
"I really hope this doesn't turn into trial and error," Lou said, jumping to the stone Gobo hadn't jumped on. When the next two stones appeared, Gobo jumped to the one diagonal from the one they were currently on. Nothing happened.
"I think I see a pattern," Gobo said. "Jump diagonally!"
Lou shrugged, and followed Gobo's lead. Luckily, they managed to get from stone to stone, and to the door without anymore mishaps.
"Very good, Fraggles!" Marjory shouted. "Now, there's a magic lock on the door. You have to solve the puzzle to unlock it. I have to warn you, there are more challenges up ahead, but it's the only way to help your little friend."
"Not to mention Fraggledonia," Lou said.
The puzzle on the door was similar to the ones on the two walls, except the tiles couldn't be removed. Instead, when Gobo touched one, the tile, and the ones touching it, rearranged themselves.
"Oh boy," he sighed. "I have a feeling this is going to be one of those days."
Lou nodded, and she and Gobo got to work rearranging the tiles until they found the solution. Once they did, the door opened, and the two Fraggles raced out as fast as they could.
