Chapter 3: Why You Shouldn't Eat Foreign Cookies

After wandering around in the woods and losing time (thanks to the three weird kiddies back there), Piper had finally gotten out and onto a paved path. "Finally!" Now, she could try to either find the Blue Furry or at least a way out of here, since paved paths made that easily. She started to walk on it, hoping to find something that made sense. A minute later, she came upon a blue house that wasn't necessary a typical house. Sure, it had the standard, but it had bunny ears on top. She could only guess who this belong to.

And on cue, the Blue Furry popped out of the door and started to hop over to Piper. Her eyes widened in surprise, not exactly sure why he would go up to her. But once he was close to her, he started to screech in anger about something. The girl didn't know what. She couldn't speak the language.

"I'm sorry, but I really can't understand what you are saying." When the creature realized that fact, a vein popped on his forehead. He then walked over to a tree, grabbed a stick, and started to write in the dirt. Piper was now intrigued to what he was trying to convey.

After he was done writing, she read, "Where are my hat and gloves?" She tilted her head before realizing that he was making a mistake. "I'm sorry; I don't know what you're talking about."

The creature huffed before writing, "Aren't you Mary Ann?" Piper was about to correct him until he wrote, "And since you are, why don't you have my hat and gloves?" She had tried to explain that she wasn't this Mary Ann and she didn't have his gloves, but he still continued to right. "And if you don't have them, then maybe you should get them so I wouldn't be late."

She was getting pretty tired of being interrupted, even though the Blue Furry was just writing out. She was about to speak again. However, the creature pushed her into the house and shook his fist, meaning that she should really start looking for those right away. She just rolled her eyes and went up to what seemed to be his room, possibly humoring his little mistake.

Piper entered and started to rummage through all of his belongings. However, she didn't through them on the floor like a bad housemaid, she was better than that. She looked on the vanity but only saw a cookie plate with cookies that said, "Eat Me" on them. Now, she remembered her experience when eating one of those cookies. But she was a little bit hungry, and she figured that not all cookies make someone grow. So, she only took one and ate it before going back to her search.

The girl went to search his chest, being oblivious to the fact that she was now growing. She came to completely know this fact when she hit her head on the ceiling. "Oh no, not again," she said, as she continued to grow, "How can this get any worse?"

Strangely enough, it did in a funny way. The Blue Furry, being the impatient fellow that he was, decided to check on his "servant". He went into the house and up the stairs. Then, he opened the door to his room, only to see a growing foot popping out of it, with the furniture in his room. Before he could run away, the foot came crushing behind him, giving him a ride out the door. Once out the door, he came crashing onto the pavement.

The Blue Furry quickly got up and turned to see his house being completely destroyed by the so-called fiend. He freaked, seeing that his once beautiful home was being taken over by a monster. Afterwards, he took out his trusty horn and started to blow it, hoping for help to come to his aid.

Piper, who had stopped growing, was now embarrassed by the fact that she had eaten the cookie, even though she knew that this might happen. 'Great, just great!' she thought as she tried to get herself out of this house. However, the house was stronger, due to its great foundation by Wonderland's Mock Turtle contractors. After a while, she gave up and waited for the Blue Furry to return, hopefully with some help.

And the Blue Furry did come back, but not with the help she was expecting. She heard the faint sounds of the Domiwick that she had encountered in this world. She opened the windows to see that is was the Domiwick of this world, being lead by the Blue Furry. She groaned, knowing that whatever he would do will not end well.

"Woah!" shouted the man as he saw the giant eyes, "That is some monster!" The creature had already stated that fact and started to screech at him. He noticed the constant creature and tried to calm him down. "Hey, relax, relax, I already have a plan."

The Blue Furry quickly grabbed a stick and started to write, "Well, what is it?" Domiwick read and began to think, which meant he didn't have one in the first place. Piper sighed. This man was really like the Domiwick back home; all talk and huge ego.

"Well…" Domiwick began to think of how to get rid of the so-called "monster". "First, we need…" A while later, the sound of whistling was in the air, making him turn to the source. He smirked before coming to a conclusion. "We need a lizard with a ladder!"

The Blue Furry looked over and started to blow his trumpet for what seemed to be Spitz, only he was wearing chimney-sweep outfit. The lizard looked over at both the creature and the man, and he yelled, "What? What do you guyth want?"

Since the victim of the monster attack had no proper form of verbal communication, Domiwick had to explain the situation. And he did so while he and the Blue Furry guided the chimney-sweep. "You see, we have a bit of a problem. But now that you're here, we have the solution to our problem." The two placed the on the side of the house and forced the lizard up the ladder. "Now, all you to do it climb up onto the roof, go down the chimney, and defeat the monster."

"Oh, yea, thure," Spitz replied before realizing what he had said. Freaking out, he quickly looked at the window to see a really big eye staring at him. "Monthter!" He ran down the ladder, screaming at the top of his lungs. "Thcrew thith!" Both the Blue Furry and Domiwick were able to persuade him by directing him back up the ladder. However, the sight of the monster caused him to stop and run back down again.

Piper watched until a few second later, she saw Spitz being carried back up by Domiwick. "Now, why are you so scared of a nervous thing? You are brave to take this!"

"I am?" Spitz asked, with a gleam in his eye.

"You can be a hero!"

"I can?"

"You will be famous!"

"Really?"

Piper's view was limited, but she can hear Domiwick carrying the lizard over to the chimney. "Now, in order to have all that and more are to climb down and pulled the monster out." He stuck him in the chimney and started to shake his hand before saying, "Good luck, Spitz." And before the lizard could say anything, a hand shoved him down the chimney.

The action of stuffing him down would cause a reaction due to the laws of natural physics. You see, the Blue Furry's chimney was due for a cleaning. And since that didn't happen when he was shoved, the soot and dust flowed into the room and up into Piper's nose. She tried to hold it in as best as she could. But five seconds later, she sneeze one powerful sneeze, shooting Spitz up to the atmosphere like a rocket.

The Blue Furry and Domiwick, who had the good sense of getting off before it got worse, watched as Spitz went up to the sky. "… Well, there goes Spitz."

Piper looked up at the sky as well to see what she had done. "… Poor Spitz." Then, she cursed herself for even feeling sorry for him. He was one of the enemies for crying out loud… Or was it the Spitz back on her world?

But now, it was back to square one since there was still a big, "scary" monster in the house. The Blue Furry looked back at Domiwick with a "Please, have a plan B or else" stare. The man noticed the stare and started to think quickly on how to get the monster out.

"Well…" He pulled out a pipe, put it in his mouth, and lit a match (Note: Remember kids, don't smoke). "I suppose we could…" He continued to think, letting the match burn. "…Maybe…" The match still burn until the flame reached Domiwick's finger, burning him. "Ouch!" He stared at his hurt, little finger before getting an idea, shouting, "I got it! We'll burn the house down!"

The Blue Furry was happy about this, before realizing that his house was going to be like Burning Man. He was now freaking out, not wanting his house to be a pile of ashes. Piper was equally worried. With her size now, there was no way she could escape this.

Domiwick quickly gathered every burnable source and started to stack them against the house, singing a tune along the way. The Blue Furry tried his best to stop him but just like with Spitz, he somehow roped him into helping him. It was only a few moments later that the creature realized that he was going to be homeless soon.

Piper felt sick knowing that if she doesn't do something soon, she was going to be cooked. She looked around for water since she thought that drinking something would probably make her shrink. But when she found no liquid, she looked over at the Sand-Cake garden. How sand cakes could grow when they are usually baked, who knows. Fortunately, she remembered that sand cakes, even though considers snacks, were actually healthy. And if she ate one of them, she might be able to shrink. Of course, there was also the possibility that she might even grow bigger. But with Domiwick starting the fire (even if it was small), she had to do something.

The girl quickly reached for a sand cake and was about to yank it until the Blue Furry came in and stopped her. However, with her being the size of a house literally, he was poorly outmatched as she pulled the sand cake towards it. Once staring at the "monster", he growled, still being protective of the sand cake. Piper just sighed before explaining, "I'm sorry but if I don't eat something, I'll-"

The creature just growled before using the cake as a defense mechanism. Piper watched and then rolled eyes. It seemed that discussing the situation diplomatically wasn't going to work. So, the next thing that she did was leaned forward and nipped the sand cake out of his hand, swallowing it whole.

The Blue Furry suddenly went silent, coming to the conclusion that the monster "ate his hand" because he didn't see it. Afterwards, he started to freak out as Piper went into an instance shrink spurt. This caused the creature to fall to the ground and stumbled on the ground, down the stairs and out of the house. The girl was relief that she can now get out, only now she groaned when she saw that she was around three inches tall… again.

Outside, the Blue Furry lay on the ground before staring at his watch, which had fallen out during his tumble. He soon grasped it, freaked out by how late it had gotten. This whole fiasco made him forget about the important date he had. He quickly got up and started to run across the field.

"Hey, wait! What about the monster?" Domiwick's cries went unanswered as the creature hopped hastily across a field. He huffed before seeing a young (and little) girl coming out of the house. Now, being the polite man that he was, he asked, "Excuse, miss, mind if you help me?"

Piper looked up at him and answered, "I'm busy at the moment." Then, she left right toward the field of flowers.

The man huffed. "Hmph, where's the corporation nowadays?" And then, he went back to blowing a small fire over to the house… This might take a while.


Author's Notes:

Next part's up! Hope you enjoyed!

Also, I might have to delay the next chapter due to that the next one (might) have the characters from other series and I only have one vote (it's a yes vote, but I'm not going to base it off that) in the poll. I know that the crossover section is probably overlooked. But until I get some more reviews (probably one) and more votes in the poll, I will not post up the next chapter. I haven't written it yet, but yea…

I am also of thinking of a contest to get this publicize. I may not go through with it if I get more reviews, but it is a choice that I might take. Hopefully, it may not come to that. I'm a bad judge.

Anyway, please read and review!
