A heavy thudding from my door echoes through the household.
Do I really have to get up? I ask myself. No reply.
If only Pearl was here to answer the question for me.
Pearl would've told me to get up in her beautiful Australian accent.
I missed her.
I lay limp on my couch with Bubbles, my pet dog, sprawled on top of me.
I smoothly scoop another spoonful of ice cream and gloomily look out the window.
"How could the world look so happy?" I mutter, aggressively shutting the blinds making Bubbles jump off my lap and yelp with surprise.
Another set of knocking meets my ears, and I roll my eyes.
"Needy," I scoff and grumble under my breath as I swing my legs over the side of the couch.
As I approach the door, trudging through the hallway, a mirror glints in disgust out of the corner of my eye.
I turn to it in confusion, and am met with a completely new face.
My hair is messy and ruffled, and dark circles are lurking under my tired eyes, whilst my Mythland attire is in a desperate need of a wash and ironing.
What's happened to me? I ask myself, quickly smoothing out my clothing and running a hand through my hair.
I smile in the mirror. The Sausage I knew smiles right back at me.
Well, at least to an extent.
No one's gonna notice, I tell myself.
As my hand clasps around the cold, smooth door handle, I take a deep breath in.
"Welcome to House Sausage!" I say in the most exuberant voice I can muster. "How can I he-"
My words drown out as I look out the door.
Her hair is a dirty blonde, messier than my hair a few minutes before.
Her normal kingdom's attire is ripped and dirty, damp with mud, as is her pale face.
Burns and bruises and blood and bones.
That's all I see.
"Sausage?" she mumbles, and I'm relieved - and surprised - that she can form full words.
She stumbles forward and I quickly stop her from falling onto the hard spruce floor.
Is this all a dream?
I can't believe my eyes, nor my ears.
"P-Pearl?"
