Chapter 2: Small World:

Faina's POV:

A strange sound woke me up and I then found it was a group of mice in my room. "EEK!" But there was something odd about these mice... they were dressed like soldiers. Then a mouse, wearing a crown and a cape came. "We have been spotted," says the mouse.

"Not so fast!" I looked and saw it was the Nutcracker. He then fought the mouse.

"This is the weirdest dream I have ever had," I said.

"Well, looks like you're awake."

"Who said that," I asked.

Then something shrunk me. I was now the size of a doll! Then some mice came near me, but the Nutcracker fought them off. "We have to get you to safety!"

"Who or what are you," I asked.

Gala's POV:

"What was that," I asked. I then saw Faina was missing. "Faina?" I then looked around for her... but then I saw I almost stepped on her. "What?" Then something shrunk me.

Dominik's POV:

I heard something from Faina's room, so I busted through the door and then something shrunk me.

Faina's POV:

"What's going on," I asked.

"Faina! Gala!"

"Oh no, Dominik shrunk too," says Gala.

"Are you all alright," asks the Nutcracker.

"Get back," I said, "you-you-what are you?"

"You didn't have this reaction when you kissed me," says the Nutcracker.

"Oh no," I said, "I kissed an actual living boy?"

"Would you rather I was dead," asks the Nutcracker.

"What is going on," asks Dominik.

"Come with me and all will be explained," says the Nutcracker. He then opens a tiny door.

"You'd think I would've noticed that," I said. We then all walked through it.

. . .

"What is this place," asks Dominik.

"Welcome to Parthenia," says the Nutcracker.
