"This seems like forever," said Jake, yawning.

"I know, but look at the walls of the passageway," pointed out Sophie.

"Woah," gasped Jake.

The walls of the tube like passageway were covered in ancient words and pictures, which seemed like hieroglyphics.

The words and pictures spiralled around,Sophie and Jake, dazzling them with colours of every shade anyone could ever think of.

Sophie was so amazed by everything she saw, covering her mouth from a burst of excitement before she could scream Jake's head clean off. On the other hand, Jake just crossed his arms and kept a bored, straight face, his lips pursed.

"Down the rabbit hole we go," Jake muttered, sarcastically.

When Sophie and Jake finally reached the ground, the landing was not smooth at all. Their bottoms hurt from the pebbles and dirt, but it did not injure them seriously.

"WOW!! OH MY GOSH. WHAT IS THIS PLACE!?" Sophie gasped, clutching her Sharpie.

"What in the world are we going to do?" Jake sighed, gaping at the unearthly forest. His eyes drifted over to the trees, and said, "Well, I wouldn't continue working as a gardener if I were them."

With cotton candy as clouds, the sky looked as delicious as ever. The trees curled and looped around each other's branches, making quite a mess. The flowers grew in a supernatural height, some growing as tall as a hill, or as small as an ant. The path dividing the trees and flowers had sudden drops, letting the traveller not know when to watch out. Near where Jake and Sophie were standing was a pumpkin patch.

"How are we going to get back?" Jake panicked.

Sophie, completely ignoring Jake's question, she kept on looking around, and taking out her phone to take pictures.

Jake stared at her with bewilderment, slapping his forehead so many times until his forehead seemed like someone just stuck the sun on it.

"SOPHIE! I cannot believe it. You're actually sightseeing!?" Jake asked, dumbfounded.

"Yeah, so?" Sophie mumbled.

"We're stuck in this place of - um - whatever this is called!"

Sophie finally turned to him.

"Relax, Jakey Wakey, there's a policeman right there - let's ask him for help!"

Sophie and Jake walked over to the police, who wore a black mask, and asked him where they were, "Excuse me, sir, what is this place?"

"Are you kidding me? Everyone knows this place! This is the infamous Gondy Forest of Wumbelpot!" The Policeman replied. Jake and Sophie looked at each other with shock.

The policeman studied the boy and girl for a while, and made a funny 'Z' shape with his hand, and crisscrossed his fingers together.

"You guys better get out of this forest, it's not safe for young Zightdons like you," the Police whispered, chuckled, winked at them, and rushed off.

Confused, Jake and Sophie slumped down on the ground, leaning against the fence that surrounded the pumpkin patch.

"Did he just say 'Wumbelpot'" Sophie gulped.

Jake nodded, and said, "Yup, I can't believe it! Wumbelpot is real! Wait - that means were not in Earth anymore! And he said that strange word again, 'Zightdon'." 

"We're in a complete different dimen-"

Before Sophie could finish her sentence, a voice filled with high pitched optimism came from behind the two friends.
