Day 4: a new world

She nods and says, “What do you think about this?” She motions to the world around me. I had been so caught up in the little kitten world that I had failed to notice the beautiful home I’d just stepped into. It looks nothing like any home I’ve ever seen. There is a huge pond with a great big waterfall. In the middle of the pond is a tiny island. On the island is a tiny lemonade stand, but instead of selling lemonade it sells big shells full of sand. Little black, orange and red snapping turtles live in the pond. The little shell stand makes the sand shells for the turtles to eat. In order to buy the shells the turtles have to give the person at the stand a shell with no sand. The pond leads into a small thin river that weaves around homes. The homes are very cool from the out side, but even cooler from the inside. The homes entrances look like very big rabbit holes and they are each at the foot of a tree. The stores entrances look almost exactly like the house entrances, except on the trees above the holes, have signs that have the name of the store on it. The most peculiar thing about this place is its people. So far I’ve seen fairies and pixies witch Madam Saphira says are completely different things, but I really don’t see the difference. “Fairies have wings.” She says, “Pixies don’t.” I notice there are no boy fairies or pixies. I ask “Where are all the boys?” she says “There is no such thing as boy fairies or pixies. All the boys are called minis.” She points to a cluster of tiny, tiny boys with no wings. They are about the same size as fairies. I also see two full grown giants, a baby giant, three huge robotic slugs, ten green Dachshunds, ten blue Dachshunds, an alien with fire coming out of him, and so much more. I notice there is only one other human besides me, Madam Saphira, Comfort, Kindness and Bell. She stops right in front of me “Welcome to Honey Hill!” She says excitedly. “Thank you!” I say. She has dark black skin and chocolate brown hair and eyes. She is wearing the same dress as Kindness, Comfort and Bell. She smiles at me and says “I’m Ramona. Can I show you around?” “Sure!” I answer,  “I’m Saphire!” For some reason I’m so exited to play with this girl. She takes my hand and says, “There is a shop I really want you to see!” She stops in front of a hole at the foot of a tree. Pined to the tree, is a sign that reads “Wand Shop” “Well,” says Ramona “ What are you waiting for? Go in!” “I would if I could but I have never been in a shop where the entrance is a rabbit hole.” Ramona says, “Oh… well, I understand. Just follow me.” And she jumps down feet first into the hole.  I jump down too, and we both land onto a bouncy pink surface. We have entered a room lined with shelves. On the shelves are thousands of boxes. I reach into a beautiful orange box and pull out a wand. It is unlike the wands you see in fairy tales. It is a colorful stick. It sounds very boring, I know, but I’m not finished. On top of the stick is a tiny little globe. Inside the globe is a very small mouse that is changing colors every minute. I immediately I want it. I want it with all my hart. I want to free the mouse, and have it as my pet. I want to do spells with the wand. I ask, “What do you do with the wand any way?” Ramona says, “It’s used to fill your house with cool furniture and goodies” “How dose the wand work?” I ask, “It’s quite easy actually” Ramona says, “you just think of something you want, wave the wand, then it appears before you.” “Do you think I could have one?” I ask hopefully “Depends.” Says Ramona “First, you must get money from Madam Saphira, then you have to be 10 or up. “Well, I’m 10!” I scream happily. I hurry up to the counter. “I’m ten!” I tell the half man half woman at the counter. I hand the box to it. “I’ll get some money!” Ramona screams excitedly. She runs over to the bouncy pink surface. Jump up and down 5 times and some how shoots up through the rabbit hole. In a couple min. she is back with a hand full of green coins. She smacks them onto the desk. I crab the small orange box, run over to the pink surface, jump up and down three times, then shoot up towards the ground. I land on the beautiful green grass. I’m so exited to have a wand! I want to fill my house with a million beautiful pieces of furniture. That’s when I realize that I don’t have a house! “Ramona.” I say, “I don’t have a house!” “Oh, sure you do.” She says, and she points to a beautiful green tree and at the foot of it, a wide rabbit hole. I jump in happily into the hole expecting a bouncy surface to cushion my fall but there is none. I fall butt first onto the beautiful comforting grass. That’s right, I said it. The ground of my home is big and grassy. I realize I have just fallen over 40 feet. I feel for scratches, bruises, or possibly any broken bones. I feel no pain. I look up the hole. Ramona is laughing her head off. She says through giggles  “Oh, Saphire. Your so funny!” Then she stops laughing “Oh my gosh Saphire! Are you ok?” I smile up at her “No blood.” I say. Ramona is terrified of blood. She jumps down the hole feet first, and lands softly on the ground in front of me. “Thank goodness.” She says when she lands. She looks at me and says “Are you gonna use the wand or not?” She hands me the beautiful orange box. I open it, to reveal a rainbow colored wand with a tiny globe, and an ever color changing mouse in it. I do as I am told, and wave my wand excitedly at a dark empty corner. Three shiny blue sparks twirl out of the wand clumsily. I look at the mouse in the globe. I can tell he is dazed. “You need to take the mouse out first!” Ramona scolds. She tapes the globe lightly. Then, in a burst of light the mouse appears in her hand. “Oh my gosh!” I scream. “Is she ok?” I point to the mouse, which has turned a greenish color, and looks dead! She hands it to me. Right as it touches my palm, it turns a bright blue. It seems to be quite alive now. She prances happily up my arm. “It’s a boy.” Ramona  tells me excitedly. “How do you know?” I ask “Because.” She begins...
