Sheryl laughed, leaning on her arm and saying, �Morning, Alicia,�
Alicia stood up and wiped grass off her clothes, her ring had fallen off in the process, so she leaned down and picked it up, then stuffed it in her pocket. She was once again her normal stuff, her hair no longer changed colors, her hair was back to black, as were her clothes, and she no longer had her powers.
They both proceeded further through the forest, getting slower and slower as they did so. Sheryl eventually said, �At the center of the forest is a pool of water, we must be careful to stay away from it,"
Alicia was still busy waking up, �Um, whatever,�
Sheryl started talking once more, �The creature that attacked us yesterday was a Bookworm, they protect the forests of this world, and don�t like trespassers,�
Alicia stumbled through the forest, �Um, �kay�
Sheryl turned and said, �Better wake up soon, its not dead yet,�
Alicia complained, �But I�m sleepy!�
Sheryl was suddenly looked behind Alicia with an alert look on her face. Then she pulled Alicia�s arm, pushing Alicia in front of her. Sheryl quickly shouted, �Run!�
Alicia turned, �Huh?� and trees seemed to melt into blackness, forming a rather large shape. Within moments it had formed a gigantic headless knight holding a tall spear who was towering above Sheryl.
Sheryl whispered, �Alicia you should run,� and Alicia nodded and quickly ran deeper into the forest. Sheryl waited until Alicia was out of sight. Then Sheryl looked up into Dooble�s eyes. She said, �You don�t look so big to me,� and then Dooble in a flash of speed grabbed Sheryl, and threw her over to where Alicia had ran to: a small clearing with a pool of water in the center. Alicia was standing at the right side of the clearing, and Sheryl at the front, just in front of the pool. Dooble charged towards them in the distance. Sheryl stepped forward, shaking off the dizziness from his toss, and shouted, �Ice FENCE!� and wall of ice rose up in the direction Dooble was charging, blocking his path. Then Sheryl ran over to Alicia and said, �Let�s get out of here,� and she started to usher Alicia down a hill, �This will lead us out---,� then the Bookworm jumped out, firing a red cone-shaped beam at Sheryl, slamming her back and over the pool of water. When she flew over it she stopped, suspended in time. Alicia, was to the side of the beam, and managed to dodge it, and now she was alone.
By now Dooble was banging on the ice and making cracks, trying to break it. The Bookworm turned to stare at Alicia and turned to shoot its beam, but she ducked it, and the beam set trees aflame. Alicia said, �Please don�t hurt me, I wont hurt you!!� Then the Bookworm shot another beam and Alicia rolled to the side, and Alicia complained, �Come on, I�m from LA, how could I hurt you?� then Alicia felt a cold wind chill her, and then a series of flashbacks began:
----------
The silhouette spoke in a soft and kind voice, �Awaken the dream, Alicia, child of child�s,�
----------
Alicia thought to herself, �What�s that mean? Who�s that silhouette? Will I ever find out?
The cold wind hit Alicia again and she heard a voice saying, �Yes you will,�
----------
Michael asked, �Your going to do it, right Alicia?�
Alicia asked, �Me?�
Dora spoke in a squeaky voice, �Oh I�m afraid you have to, I�ll give you five dollars!�
Alicia smiled, �Keep your money, Dora,�
----------
Alicia thought to herself, �Yeah I goofed up the science experiment bad, didn�t I?�
The cold wind touched her once more, �Alicia, you help others, and are very persistent at it, you want to make them feel better, so you must accept that now you must help others here, in the Rainbow Dimension! Do not worry, you will come to like it, in time,�
----------
The silhouette of the person in front of Alicia glew bright red for a moment and a thick red connected between the two of them, inside the beam was a red apple. Alicia�s eyes were filled with a bright red light, buit she felt no pain from the beam, and the apple was absorbed into her chest, at that moment she felt a sudden warmth. She asked the silhouette, �Red Apple Bomb?�
----------
The cold wind touched her again, �Your attack, use it, now!�
Alicia thought, �But I��
The cold wind chilled her, �Now, before the beast attacks!�
Alicia drew out her ring and placed it on her finger, feeling the same wave of heat as before as her clothes and hair changed colors. She yelled out, �I am um, Alicia, the Red Rainbow Maiden of um, Los Angeles, and your under uh, Color Arrest!� then she thought to herself, �Boy, need to work on that intimidating introduction,� then she raised her hand up, shouting, �Power of Apple: Ignite: Red Apple BOMB!� and there was crackling noise coming forth from her hand as a red apple slowly formed. Then she tossed it at the Bookworm, and a gigantic spherical explosion engulfed it, Alicia turned, shielding her eyes, and Sheryl was knocked to the side, away from the pool of water by the explosion. Alicia ran over to her, �You okay?�
Sheryl said, �Yeah, thanks,�
Alicia felt much better about herself now, she was a little happier. She smiled a little. Then suddenly there was a loud shattering sound behind them, and she stopped smiling.
Sheryl said, �Oh shoot!�
Alicia said, �Let�s scram!�
