Allison landed with a thump on the hard ground. "Owww," She groaned. She opened her eyes and did a double take. She was sitting in a forest. She did not live anywhere near a forest. Suddenly, a flailing body fell out of the sky and landed on her. "AAAAAAHHHH!" It screamed. "Mathew?" Allison said. "I JUST FELL OUT OF THE SKY!" Mathew answered. "I know," Allison answered calmly. Inside, Allison was a nervous wreck. Outside, she was as cool as a cucumber. Don't ask me how she does it. "AND WE'RE IN A FOREST!" Mathew continued. "Would you please stop screaming," Allison sighed. Mathew obliged, but kept opening and closing his mouth like a fish out of water. Allison rolled her eyes. She racked her brain, thinking of where she could possibly be. She quickly ruled out the tiny strip of woods by her house, because she'd actually be able to see the house. Suddenly, a jaunty tune filled the air. Allison jumped. She mouthed to her brother, "Hide!" and he ran off into the trees. Allison quickly followed. But before she could even take five steps, a man walked into the clearing. He had a long beard, a mustache, and a black beret was on his head. Allison instantly recognized him. He was Leanardo da Vinci.
