2023 Something - My first entry in 2 years!!

It's been two whole years! A lot has happened and changed, like how Helena Mouse is not my BFF anymore, but that’s alright. Since all of you humans have not been caring to check up on me for so long, I’ll let you catch up on things a bit.

 

It was about a month ago, and I was peacefully strolling through the park with a giant pebble border and little chairs made out of twigs. It was a friend’s birthday, but I had forgotten, and that doesn’t matter right now. Anyway, there I was strolling, hopping, and occasionally jogging. I walked by the spot where I had dug a hole and “Planted” 20 bucks in hopes of growing a money tree. I suddenly felt my rodent senses tingling. My whiskers were tense, my paws were sweating, and my nose was twitching. Something was weird. Out of place, maybe? But my senses told me that there was something new, or perhaps something old, about to happen, like something was in progress but someone was trying to hide the progress. Kind of like when you cheat on a math test. It’s going really well, but you can't brag about it to anyone else. And then there was a moment of tense silence. And suddenly, Crash! Shack! Cuca-too! Boom-Shaka-Lucka! As the sounds began to slowly fade, I noticed a black hole forming in the shadows of the bushes! I was terrified but also curious. They say curiosity killed that cat, but seriously, curiosity almost killed me. As I approached the blackhole, led by curiosity, I let out my hand and said, “Oh, Shucker Whiskers!” I felt myself slowly falling into a dark void; it felt something like falling into quicksand in Squeakcraft. It was like Vlodemouse was controlling me or something! It was so creepy! I think I passed out thinking about cupcakes and bananas, which is something I think of very often.

 

When I woke up, I was greeted by a voice I had never heard before. “Hello there, Sophie. Are you okay?” I jumped up and realized I was not in the park anymore. I was… In the desert! “Umm, hello?” The voice said it again. I rubbed my eyes to see if what I was seeing was true. I answered, “Yeah, I’m alright, but...” I stopped. I looked at the direction the voice was coming from. I saw a small, old, but sassy-looking little mouse. I looked at her and observed her. I saw fat, chubby arms and legs shooting out of a blueberry-like creature. Only it was furry. One thing was odd, though. I looked at her immediately. I soon came to realize she had no hair on her legs! I was disgusted! Then I continued, “But... I need to get back home!” Then I burst into tears like a little baby. “WAAAA!!!” I cried. I was guessing, based on the hat and robe and all that stuff, that the woman was a witch. The witch stared at me with an unsatisfied look. 

“I know that look,” I sniffed.

“Yes, I suppose you do,” The witch judged.

“You think I’m crazy, right?”

“No, I do not think that you are ‘crazy.’ We do not use those words here.”

“Where am I?” I blinked away tears.

“Hmmm… Let’s just say that I am the witch of the far, far lands.”

“Why are you here? Why is it so hot? What is happening? Who are you?” Questions exploded inside and outside of my brain.

“Shush, little girl, I understand you are surprised. But I have summoned you here because I am lost.” She said it grandly, like it was a big deal.

“But you’re a witch, right? You’re supposed to be able to do magic and teleport and ride brooms and stuff,” I demanded.

“Exactly. The thing is that I came here because my broom was being naughty and ran all the way here. So I need to summon a new one.” 

“And you want me to do it?”

“Yes. I do.”

“WHY MEEEEEEE???” I groaned.

“Whatever..” I accepted my fate.  

I asked the witch what I had to do, and she gave me an old-looking little piece of notebook paper. The words were misspelled, like some kid had written them. 

 

“Come back when you’re done!” She said, snottily. She pointed at an arrow on the ground that read, “Witch camp! Enjoy the morning dew!”

I said nothing. I read the paper again and again. Goblin’s eyeball? Where would I get that? I asked myself. Then I realized, ‘If there are witches in this world, then… There would be a witch's delivery service, right? So I looked around in search of a computer. I looked up at the sky, I looked down at the ground. Aha! The camp must have at least ONE MouseCom, right? So I scrambled all the way to the little camp. There was a tent that had a sign that said, “LIBRARY”. So I bolted inside. I was greeted by a kind old lady who introduced herself as Rihanna. 

“Um, do you mind if I take a look at your MouseCom?”

“Oh, yes, sure!”

“Thanks!”

So I hopped on to there MouseCom, and used my 2-year-old professional online shopping skills to hop on to SqueakBay and looked up: ‘Goblin Eyballs’. Unfortunately, there is no such thing on SqueakBay. “Grrrrr….” I growled like a tiger. But then, an ad popped up on my screen. “Huh?” I said, under my breath. The ad read, ‘Witchazon! Get all your witchy needs today!’ I clicked on the ad. Then, a search bar popped up. I quickly typed ‘Goblin’s Eyeballs’ and, sure enough, It was a rocket delivery available right to the camp! But, Curiosity struck me again and I typed up ‘Broom’. I rubbed my eyes to see if what I was seeing was true. Up came the the cutest and coolest and just, the best brooms overall. The reviews where amazing, too! but, I heard that brooms choose the witches, so I just gave up on that. besides, making a potion would be much more fun that waiting for a delivery box to arrive. So, I clicked on the tab that I had saved. ‘Goblin Eyballs’. I clicked on ‘Deliver now’ and 20 minutes later, the delivery witch had come! I tipped her a few extra bucks, because I was very thankful for her services. So, I carried the giant box into the room of the witch I had met earlier. Her face was so pleased, she began to drop tears of joy! I Realized that witches tears were a part of the list, so I went and got a cup and held it beneath her chin to collect her tears. “Yippee!” I whispered. Two things ticked off the list! I was so happy. The witch was pleased with me too. 

 

I said my goodbye to the witch for now, and I went on a search to find some unicorn blood. According to her Harry Potter knowledge, unicorn blood was really rare and also shiny, but was strictly forbidden in the Harry Potter world. But, who cares if I break the rules a little bit? So I rushed around, trying to find a unicorn. After hours of walking through the hot sun, I saw an oasis! the clear water, was blue and clean, and I saw trees that I could use for a shelter. I drank a little bin of water from the oasis, and it tasted fine. So I dove in, and I felt like I was in heaven. I floated around in the little pool of water until a slobbery thing brushed against me. At first, I thought it was raining. but then, I realized it was an animal! I looked up and saw a elegant white horse with a horn on its head. At that exact moment, I sneezed. It must’ve been really surprised, because it let out a little grunt, and came out a nose bleed. The unicorn was fine, and I had my blood. amazing! So, I spent the night near the oasis, and in the morning, I woke up and walked and walked and walked for hours. But, when I reached the camp, It seemed deserted. But then I realized, this was a desert. EVERYTHING looked deserted. so I stepped inside the tent that the witch of the far,far,lands stayed in. and I watched as she brewed the position very carefully. ‘Is this even edible?’ I asked myself. But, a few dozen minutes later, the witch dumped a bucket full of the cold, icy potion onto me, and I disappeared into a very bright light. I was in bed when I woke up. phew! It was just all a dream… But I still felt a little bit chilly.
