(Author's Note) I'm sorry for not writing this story for as long as I did. I just got caught up with other things in my life. I'll make sure this chapter is just as good as before, if not better. On to the story
After the first semi-successful attempt, the group decides to plunge themselves into the alternate universe. First, dawn grabs a crystal. Then, Jameson grabs one. Xander says, "Are you sure this is safe?" Jameson says, "Sure." Xander hesitantly grabs a bag filled with supplies than grabs a crystal. The three of them plunge their hand into the sheet of copper.
The three of them end up in the same forest Jameson described. The ethereal beauty and exotic creatures amaze the group. Jameson quickly scribbles something onto a notepad. Nearby is a large, parrot-like creature with blue-colored feathers, just like the camera depicted. This creature flies toward the group to get a better look and then hastily flies away.
Xander asks, "what was that," and Jameson responds, "I think its this world's version of humans, its intelligent life." Xander is so shocked from being in another dimension that he simply nods in agreement.
They walk through the exotic blue-green shrubs until they reach the village Jameson had described after his last trip. The village was filled with life. A bird worked at an anvil, a group of birds flew in a shipment of brown lumber. Some chicks played in the street, while birds on large rabbit-like creatures rode by.
"Look at this place." Xander said. Dawn replied, "Its so beautiful, right" "Yeah, right." The group walked in the opposite direction of the village until Dawn got shot by an arrow. Behind the group was a lone bird who shouted something in another language.
The group started to run, with Jameson carrying the injured Dawn. They came across a dead end and looked behind them. That same lone bird stood and walked toward them. "What are we going to do," Jameson shouted. Dawn responded, "I don't know. I guess this is the end."
The lone bird quickly ran back toward the village. After a few minutes of peace, it returned with an army. Jameson started panicking. "We're going to die." The bird army captures the friends and transports them into the center of town. The townsfolk are intrigued by these strange creatures.
The cage the group was trapped in moves toward a barn. The cage door opens and the group is let into one of the barn stalls. "We're stuck. I knew we never should've came here" Xander says. Jameson responds, "It's okay. At least we aren't being tested on."
The bird from earlier returns late that night with a set of cards. It finds that these creatures are intelligent and shows a card with a rabbit on it to the group. The group responds, "It's a rabbit."
By the next morning, using a deck of cards and a few books, the bird has learned how to speak and read English. "My name is Cherison," the bird says. "Its the Taverish word for cherry" "So your name is basically cherry," Dawn responds. "Yes" "We seriously need some help right now..."
Cherish responds, "With what?" Xander says, "Have you ever heard of The Puppers?" "Yes. They are after me" "Well they're after Jameson too and they're most likely going to be after us soon." "I feel like we should work together in trying to get the Puppers off our tail."
Jameson says, "Come with us to our world..." The four each grab a crystal of socranium, tape it to their hands, and slap a sheet of copper...
