White Rabbit's House
(Ayla's POV)
*I soon left the woods & found small house in the middle of a clearing, surrounded by a stone wall*
Ayla: I wonder who lives here.
*I stepped up to the house & I heard shouting coming from it*
White Rabbit (Chris):*off-screen* Mary Ann! Drat that girl. Where could she have put them? *the upstairs window opened & Chris poked his head out**on-screen* Mary Ann!
Ayla: Chris!
White Rabbit (Chris): Mary Ann! *he closed the window & went back inside**off-screen* No use, can't wait, I'm awfully late. Oh me, oh my. Oh me, oh my.
*He ran out as I was about to knock on the door, holding a trumpet in one hand*
Ayla: Wait, Chris! I just wanted to ask you -
*He stopped & looked at me. Then he marched up to me with a glare*
White Rabbit (Chris): Why Mary Ann, what are you doing out here?
Ayla: Mary Ann?
White Rabbit (Chris): Don't just do something, stand there. No, no. Go get my gloves and fan! I'm late!
Ayla: Late for what!? That's what I'm trying to -
White Rabbit (Chris): My gloves and fan! *he blew his trumpet at me & I ran inside* At once! Do you hear!?
Ayla: Geeze. What's next, I start taking orders from Muttski?
*I went upstairs*
*I went into a bedroom*
Ayla: Alright, let's see. If I were Chris, where would I keep my gloves and fan? *I opened a little box & found more cookies inside* Oh. Thanks. Don't mind if I do. *I nibbled on the cookie as I started going through a chest. suddenly, I started to grow again. I didn't notice until my head hit the ceiling* Oh-no! Not again!
(Third-Person POV)
*Outside, the White Rabbit was getting impatient as he tapped his foot. Then he looked at his pocket watch*
White Rabbit (Chris): Oh! Mary Ann!
*He ran back into the house*
(Ayla's POV)
*I just kept growing & growing, filling the whole house*
(Third-Person POV)
*The White Rabbit made it to the top of the stairs & opened the door to his bedroom*
White Rabbit (Chris): Now you see here, Mary Ann. *he was met with Ayla's foot* Help! *her foot pushed him down the stairs as it grew. he went out the door & into the front yard. he looked back at his house & jumped in fright* Help! Help! Monster! Help! Assistance!
*He ran down the road, blowing his trumpet*
(Ayla's POV)
*I struggled to get out, but I was completely stuck*
Ayla: Oh man!
*Just then, I heard voices*
White Rabbit (Chris):*off-screen* A monster! A monster, Dodo, in my house, Dodo!
Ayla: Uncle Chuck?
(Third-Person POV)
*The White Rabbit was coming down the road with the Dodo Bird*
White Rabbit (Chris): My poor house.
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): Steady, old chap. Can't be as bad as all that, you know.
White Rabbit (Chris): My poor roof and rafters. All my walls. There it is!
*Dodo looked & jumped in surprise*
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): By Jove!
(Ayla's POV)
*I opened the upstairs windows to see what was happening*
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): Jolly well is, isn't it?
*Chris pushed his towards the house*
White Rabbit (Chris): Well do something, Dodo!
*He hid behind the stone wall*
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): Yes, indeed. Extraordinary situation, but . . .
White Rabbit (Chris): But . . . But what?
*Uncle Chuck blew is nose, making a honking sound*
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): But I have a very simple solution.
Ayla: That's a relief.
White Rabbit (Chris): What is it?
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): Simply pull it out the chimney.
*My hopes were dashed*
Ayla:*in her mind* Really? Out the chimney?
*Chris pushed him towards the ladder*
White Rabbit (Chris): Go ahead. Pull it out!
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): Who? Me? Don't be ridiculous. What we need is a . . . *just then, we heard whistling. we turned to the sound & saw my friend, Antoine D'Coolette, who looked more like a green lizard than a coyote, wearing a black hat, a black jacket over a dark green turtleneck, black pants, & holding a ladder & a chimney brush was coming down the road* A lizard with a ladder!
White Rabbit (Chris): Oh! Bill! Bill, we need a lazard with a lidder. I mean . . . Can you help us?
Bill (Antoine): At your service, monsieur.
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): Bill, me lad, have you ever been down a chimney?
Bill (Antoine): Why, monsieur, I've been down more chimneys . . .
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): Excellent. Excellent. *he pushed Antoine up the ladder* You just pop down the chimney and haul that monster out of there.
Bill (Antoine): Oui, monsieur. *he started climbing up the ladder, past the window where my face could be seen. but then he came back down & saw me* Monster!?
*He ran back down the ladder, screaming. But was stopped by Chris & Uncle Chuck. They tried to push him back up the ladder, but he ran back down, only to be stopped by Uncle Chuck, who began carrying him up the ladder*
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): Steady now, that's better. Bill, lad. You're passing up a golden opportunity.
Bill (Antoine): I am?
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): You can be famous.
Bill (Antoine): I can?
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): Of course. There's a brave of lad. *I pressed my ear back to the wall as they made it to the roof* In you go now. Nothing to it, old boy. *he stuffed Antoine into the chimney, tail first* Simply tie your tail around the monster's neck and drag it out.
Bill (Antoine): But, but, but, Monsieur . . .
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): Good luck, Bill. *he shook his hand shoved him in. the soot coming out of the fireplace tickled my nose. Uncle Chuck & Chris hid until I sneezed, sending Antoine flying high into the air* Well . . . There goes Bill.
*I did a salute*
Ayla: Poor Antoine.
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): Perhaps we should try a more *he used my shoe to light a match* energetic remedy.
White Rabbit (Chris): Yes, anything, anything, *he pulled out his pocket watch* but hurry!
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): I propose that we . . .
*He stopped to think*
White Rabbit (Chris): Yes, go on. Go on. Yes? Yes?
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): I propose that we . . . *suddenly, he burnt his finger with the match* OW! By Jove, that's it. We'll burn the house down.
White Rabbit (Chris): Yes. Burn the house - WHAT!?
Ayla: You wouldn't!
*Uncle Chuck started to gather furniture I had pushed out of the house when I grew*
*Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck) singing*
Oh, we'll smoke the blighter out
We'll put the beast to rout
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): Some kindling, just a stick or two. Ah, this bit of rubbish ought to do
*He threw a grandfather clock at the house, destroying it*
White Rabbit: Oh, dear.
*Uncle Chuck gathered more furniture*
*Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck) singing*
We'll smoke the blighter out!
We'll smoke the monster out!
White Rabbit: No, no! Not my beautiful birdhouse!
*Uncle Chuck pulled a birdhouse out of the ground. The birds inside flew away. Chris tried to stop him, but missed & hit the gate, breaking it*
*Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck) singing*
Oh, we'll roast the blighter's toes
We'll toast the bounder's nose
Just fetch that gate
We'll make it clear
That monsters aren't welcome here!
*Chris brought the broken gate over to him*
White Rabbit: Oh, dear. Oh me. Oh, my.
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): A match?
White Rabbit (Chris): Match?
*He handed him a match & Uncle Chuck lit it*
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): Thank you.
*He lit the pile at the base of the house*
*Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck) singing*
Without a single doubt
We'll smoke the monster out!
*White Rabbit (Chris) singing*
We'll smoke the monster out...!
White Rabbit (Chris): Oh no! My poor house and furniture!
Ayla: Oh man. This is getting serious. I have to . . . A garden! *then I noticed something* I bet if I eat something, *Chris ran towards the garden & grabbed a carrot I was trying to pick* it will make
*I picked up Chris along with the carrot*
White Rabbit (Chris): Ow! Let go! Help!
Ayla: Look, I'm sorry. But I've gotta eat something.
White Rabbit (Chris): Not me! You . . . you . . . Barbarian. *I bit the carrot in his hand. he screamed, thinking I had bitten his hand off & I let go of him as I shrunk back to 3 inches tall* Help! Monster! Help! *he landed outside & looked at his watch* I'm late! Oh, dear. I'm here. I should be there. I'm late!
*He ran outside, past Uncle Chuck*
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): I say, do you have a match?
*Chris came back & shook his hand*
White Rabbit (Chris): Must go. Goodbye, hello. I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!
*I crawled out from under the door of the house*
Ayla: Chris, wait!
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): Ah, young lady. Do you have a match?
*I climbed down the big stairs*
Ayla: No, I don't carry matches. Chris! Hold on!
*I ran after Chris*
(Third-Person POV)
Dodo Bird (Uncle Chuck): No cooperation, no cooperation at all. Well, can't have monsters about. Jolly well have to carry on alone.
*He rubbed two sticks together, creating a spark. Then he blew on the flames*
