The park had grass so green that you could definitely tell it was fake. The sky was painted in an azure-blue, with a few shiny plastic clouds as white as snow, the Sun could be seen smiling behind them. Caine had disappeared already. Beyond the landscape, was a set of swings (for two) and a shiny slide, both matching in a turquoise-green. Next to the swings and slide was a see-saw also in turquoise which Pomni ran right up to. "A see-saw? Wow.. I remember these from the real world!" She said as she climbed up on one end.

It's funny how you can remember something as useless as a see-saw but not even you're own name.

Pomni's end of the see-saw just stayed down. Of course! She needed someone to go on the end.

"Oh man. I think I forgot how these work."

Ragatha smiled at Pomni for she was smiling on the ride This is the first time she's ever seen Pomni smile since she arrived, and she hopes she'll continue smiling even if this place is a digital hell.

Ragatha strolled up to her friend and sat on the other end of the see-saw, allowing it to function properly with two people on each end. "Ah, this is fun right Pomni?"

Pomni didn't reply, but was too busy gigging as the ride went up and down.

.....

Meanwhile, Gangle was smiing as using the slide, her comedy mask still in good condition (as long as Jax doesn't come along and break it).

Kinger was sitting down on a nearby bench, enjoying the peacefulness of the park.. until he got startled by a bird. "AAAAGH!"

Zooble was trying to communicate with Xeno and it seemed to be working okay, surprisingly. This left nothing for Jax to do apart from find a victim and annoy them, that victim being his number one victim of all time: Raggedy Ann.

He picked up a medium-sized rock and threw is at her, causing her to fall off the see-saw with an "oof".

"Ow! Jax!" It was clear there was fury flaring in her eyes.

Pomni noticed the ride had stopped. "Ragatha?" She looked down to the floor to see Ragatha on her knees. "Aaa! Are you okay?"

"Ugh.. no.."

Whilst Jax was snickering at the sight of Ragatha falling, the dolly looked up to see a hand offering her help to get up, so she took the help and got back to her feet. "Thanks- oh!" It was Xeno offering her help, how kind.

"Thank you Xeno, you're so sweet! Unlike some people here.." she muttered the last bit to herself.

"Don't worry Ragatha! I will be here if you need help."

Zooble stared at Ragatha then at Xeno, then at Ragatha then at Xeno. "Cool, he seems to have a favourite already! AND IT'S NOT ME."

Pomni had gotten off the ride and walked up to Zooble who was standing near the bench Kinger was on. "What, did you think it would be you out of everyone?"

"WHAT DID YOU JUST !$?#*£% SAY SHORTY?"

"N- nothing!" Pomni stuttered.

Jax finally calmed down after laughing his lungs out and wiped away his tear of laughter with his finger. "Priceless."

But then he suddenly took notice of Ragatha adjusting her bow and smiling joyfully at Xeno as he spoke to her as their eyes met. Xeno was only a little taller than Ragatha.

And there it was, the feeling again. He scoffed as if he didn't care. That pain in his stomach, it immediately made the grin on his face disappear. Just staring at the two gave him an uneasy feeling, like something- or a privilege- was being stolen. Or someone. Nah.. not SOMEONE, right? Right??

.....

For the next 20 minutes, Jax tried distracting himself from the horrible feeling by torturing Kinger, offending Pomni, un-assembling Zooble's limbs and you guessed it- breaking cry baby's comedy mask. Ragatha on the other hand, spent the next 20 minutes talking to Xeno and strolling around the park with him, telling him about ever since she got here and all the fantastic memories she had with her friends since! "They're really nice people one you get to know them, honestly" Ragatha said reassuringly.

"What about the purple rabbit who keeps harassing you, Ragatha? If I remembered accurately, his name is Jax, am I correct?"
"Oh, yeah- Jax. Well, none of the circus members and him really see eye-to-eye. I try my best to be as nice to him as possible but sometimes I just lose it! Haha.." Explained Ragatha waving her arms around to demonstrate.

"If you do not see eye-to-eye with him, I predict neither shall I." Xeno responded carefully.

"O-oh. Well I suppose that's kind of.. reasonable. He's a real jerk, to everyone. No doubt he'll be just as worse to you."

"EVERYONE! I'M BACK" Caine shouted from afar. Wow, his voice was REALLY loud. "Come back to the portal pleaseee!"

And so everyone returned to where they came from.

"So! Did you guys explore this place or what? IT'S AMAZING ISN'T IT?"

"It's fantastic!" Kinger replied.

"Yeah, not bad" Agreed Zooble.

"YUP, I knew that anyway! So, take a step right through the portal!"

Everyone and Xeno stepped through the portal to the main grounds but Ragatha, being the last one, got pulled back by Caine who was standing behind her.

"You did welcome Xeno, right Ragatha?"

"Of course, Caine."

"PHEW."

And so Ragatha stepped in the portal to the circus main grounds again with Caine following behinds her, excited to create new memories including her new friend, Xeno.
