We reached the enchanted forest in just 5 minutes but
to get there fast we had to endure a very disorienting journey. All of us were ruffled, all except Rolf, Luna
and of course Dorothy. I figured Dorothy had travelled this way many times,
hence the feeling of pure pleasure. This way must have been very similar to floo
powder and Thus Rolf and Luna weren’t frazzled.
So anyways we reached the enchanted forest and saw a very happy and
excited Dorothy. I laughed remembering the only other time we had seen her like
this. That time was way back in 1st grade and our moms were taking us
on a surprise trip to fantasy land to celebrate Shreedha’s bday. Everyone in
the group except Shreedha knew of this plan and Dorothy was the most excited
among us. She couldn’t keep quiet and finally told Shreedha all about this trip
and ruined the surprise. After that she cried a lot because she never liked
ruining surprises. We were furious at her and didn’t attempt to console her. Shreedha
took initiative and went over. She wasn’t upset in the least. Typical Shreedha!
As soon as I
remembered this a dozen other memories came. I was so happy. I was normal again!
Though I hadn’t told Dorothy this but I overheard her conversation with Rolf
back at his shop. So anyways Dorothy was excited and was leading us. We were following her and listening to her
narrate her adventures in this forest with her aunt and dad. To tell you the
truth, I was a little envious of Dorothy. I mean who wouldn’t, that girl had an
aunt who was the queen of a magical forest!
Ok back to the story, Were, was I? Ok got it.
So, we were following Dorothy who was leading us and
telling us about her adventures in this forest when we neared a clearing. On
the right side of the clearing there were those same green trees which we saw
throughout the path, but on the left, there were baby pink trees. I was fascinated
by those trees and felt my legs unwillingly moving to that part of the forest,
even though I knew it was dangerous. Dorothy had warned us about this as soon
as we had entered the forest, but the meadow was so appealing. I finally gave
in and went in. This part was by far the strangest part of the forest. The
deeper one went, the darker the color pink became. Finally, I reached the end
of this pink expanse, when I felt a small furry creature bump into my leg. I
quickly looked down getting ready to scream but the scream never came. It was
no scary vicious creature that bumped into me but the cutest one ever. It was a
‘koalanda’ (I named it myself). What is a koalanda you ask. Well it’s a small
koala which is black with white polka dots. It was attacking me. “Who are you
little one?” I asked that creature making it look up at me. As soon as our eyes
met, I felt a bolt of electricity pass through me followed by a floaty feeling.
It was like an invisible connection was binding us together. After this the
moment finally ended and it spoke. I wasn’t surprised, cause no normal koala was
black with white spots and violet eyes. It said “Hi, I am Pandora and we’ve got
to get out of here!” “Why?” I asked “Because you have entered the pink dragon’s
land.” Said Pandora “Ok let’s go.” I
said but just as I turned to leave, I saw it. So did Pandora and we both screamed
together and ran, faster than the wind but then Pandora fell and I turned back
to help her. That was what that dragon was waiting for and finally she fired. I
jumped on Pandora and tried to shield her.
