| Chapter Two ~in the candy house~ "So, now what do we do?" Hansel, or rather, TAS-man asked. "I don't know, but I think I saw a tower in the woods." Jaina replied, still running around the room. She tripped over a chair leg, and Crayak pounced on her. TAS and Cait glanced out window. "My what big teeth you have." Jaina said, staring at Crayak as he prepared to bite her. "All the better to eat you with, my dear." "Yeah, good, now get off of me." "Okay, fine. But why do I want to eat you? I mean, I know I'm Crayak, but I'm also the Big Bad Wolf." "I don't know, must be some problem with Roseidous' machine. We have the minds of the characters, but we somehow kept our own minds, too." "Oh, I see...Hey, maybe we should find Roseidous. He might know what to do." Crayak suggested. "Yeah, that's a long shot, but it'll have to do, I guess." Jaina agreed. "Wait, where did Hansel and George go?" They looked out the window to see TAS and Cait already headed for the tower in the woods. Jaina made sure to lock her door, grabbed part of it as a snack, and she and Crayak ran to catch up. ~in the tower~ "Okay, so you're saying all I have to do is point you at the door, say Open Sesame!, and the door will open?" Tails asked Pen/cil, the Magic Wand, doubtfully. "The only way to see if it works is to try." pointed out Pen/cil. "Well...okay then." Tails picked up Pen/cil, pointed him at the door, said "Open Sesame!", and the door opened. Ann was standing on the other side. "Let me in! Let me in!" she shouted. "Not by the hair on my chinny-chin-chin!" Tails shouted back. "I'm getting out of here!" "What?" "Oh, sorry, got the fairy tales confused there for a minute." "Okay, okay, so let us in!" "No! I just escaped! Why do you want in, and what do you mean, 'us'?" Ann held up the Gingerbread Man/Tyrael and then pointed over her shoulder to the dwarves, who were still chasing her. "Oh, yes, well, come right in." Tails said, running back inside herself. ~in the woods~ Roseidous wandered along a path at the edge of the forest. Although, he was wandering slowly, considering that he was made of wood. "I can't believe they all tried to use that machine at the same time. Now look where they got us. Although, I'm thinking it's better than Clyattville." He was saying to himself. Suddenly, out of the bushes, appeared a White Rabbit. He was also talking to himself. "I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date!" "Bunny!" Rosey cried, and began chasing the rabbit down the path. He turned a corner and followed the path as it made its way through a field, towards a castle. ~at the castle~ "My only question is...where is Rosey?" Holli said, pacing back and forth in the room. "Yeah, and what character is he so that we can make fun of him?" Nothlit added. "Nothlit, dear, you're the Beast, I'm not sure if you should be making fun of other people right now." "Oh, right." Roses was staring out the window. "Hey, guys! Look!" Holli and Nothlit walked over to see a white rabbit running across the field and a strange, puppet-like thing trying, and failing, to catch up. A sudden wind swept across the field, picking up the puppet thing and blowing it towards the castle. As it flew closer to the window, Roses began to see that it really was a wooden puppet. A familiar looking one... "Pinnochio?" she called. "No...wait....Rosey? Is that you? What are you doing?" "I've got no strings to hold me down!" he yelled back. "The wind just picked me up." Roses, Holli, and Nothlit ducked as the wind blew Roseidous right through the window. He crashed against the wall. "Ouch." Roses grabbed him. "Off with your head!" "No, um, let's not do that, Roses. And by the way, that's a great dress. Very...um..heart- shaped." "Shut up." "Okay." Holli and Nothlit, meanwhile, were trying not to laugh. ~at the tower~ "Snow White!" the dwarves called, surrounding the base of the tower. "I can't come down, the door's locked!" Ann yelled, innocently. "You just go home now." "But we can't leave you! We have to protect you! Tell Rapunzel to let down her hair!" "Rapunzel's busy." And true, Tails was busy, laughing at Tyrael. "So..you're a gingerbread man?" "Hey, Oh Hairy One, don't make fun of me." "Okay, okay, fine. So what next? Want a drink?...Maybe some milk?" Tyrael sighed as Ann and Tails giggled at the situation. "You know," Ann said. "I can see a castle over there, past the woods. I'm sure Rosey's the only one who knows how to get us out of this mess. If he's anywhere he'll be in the castle." "You think?" Tails asked. "Well, he already thinks he's the king of the world, so yes, that's where he'll be." "Now, the only question is, how do we get past your friends the dwarves and get to the castle?"
