Newton's POV

Newton only had a little bit more to do. Soon, no one would ever make fun of him again! No more being whispered about, no more pointing and laughing, and no more hiding in shame! Soon, everyone would love and admire him!

He just needed to do a little bit more!

Your POV

You had just arrived home from school, a big smile plastered on your face. You had finally gotten your art project back, which, of course, you had gotten a hundred percent on.

Your parents were so proud! They smothered you in hugs and even got you ice-cream. Was it overly necessary? Probably not. Afterall, you always got a hundred percent on the majority of your projects, especially ones for Art.

Everyone always congratulated you on your creativity. You enjoyed it as well. It was always fun to plaster your ideas onto paper and share it with others! Especially when it came to writing and drawing, those were the most fun.

Anyways, you ran upstairs to your room, ready to get a good night's rest. It wasn't all that late, but you tended to be more tired than others. You weren't sure why, but it didn't really bother you. Sleeping felt like an escape from reality, to live in another dimension. You even sometimes got ideas for a book or a drawing from your dreams, so it was also helpful as well.

As you pulled up the covers and closed your eyes, something strange happened. A portal opened up from beside you, sucking you in. Whether it was real or a realistic dream, you weren't fully sure, but you didn't mind.

The portal brought you to a strange place. Everything, along with you, was made out of fabric or other materials. It was quite awe-inducing really, with beautifully made hot-air balloons and other things.

What surprised you the most, however, was the person that greeted you. He wore a bowler hat that had numbers and a small red triangle smack-dab in the middle. What was unusual, however, was the fact that his head was a freaking light bulb!

"Are you alright chum?" He asked, snapping you out of your thoughts. You blinked and nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine," you said, rising to your feet with his help. "Thank you for asking."

"You're welcome chum! Anyways, I'm Newton, and welcome to Bunkum!" He introduced, spreading his arms with a smile. You smiled back.

"It's nice to meet you Newton. I'm Y/n L/n. If you don't mind me asking, why am I here?"

The question made Newton frown. He glanced from side to side before saying, "I'm afraid Bunkum's safety is in our hands. Let me explain..."
