The World Until Yesterday (BFDI)

Library

(A/N: I probably will rewrite the first two chapters because I really had no idea what I was doing back then. Okay let's jump into this chapter!)

Leafy's POV:

I woke up to be greeted by slices of tomatoes scattered on my carpet and a snake chasing a pair of sloths through my already-broken window. Going downstairs, I spotted Firey bathing in his milk with a baby alligator, looking like he was having the time of his life. I tried hard to not focus on him while I did my morning errands. When it was 8:40, I walked out the door and Firey was standing right there, like he had been waiting for me. "Ready to go to the place objects go when it's 8:40?" he asked me. "Sure." I simply said. 

Firey somersaulted and drank glue while I walked. He was a few steps ahead of me when he suddenly froze, fell on his knees, and stared at the top of the sky. "You okay?" I asked him. I'm not sure why I asked that, because I knew he was probably just being his regular Mukmuk Land self. His attention was directed towards me and he blurted out, "TOAST WAS NEVER A TREE." A few seconds passed, and he shook his head incredibly fast. "Tell me right now what happened in the last minute," Firey said "I can't remember a thing."

"You just said 'TOAST WAS NEVER A TREE'. Whatever that means."

"Toast was never a tree? Oh no. Oh no no no no no no no no. Leafy, this is very very bad. Oh no no no no......" Firey proceeded to run off ahead of me, again. Seriously, he's doing this so much. Maybe he should see a doctor. A trained doctor, that is, not one of these Mukmuk Land doctors who likely sneak toenail clippings into their patient's water. Is that considered racist? Forget I said anything.

Firey's POV: 

I'm really worried. Oh well, I'll try not to let my worries bother me like a pack of crayons stuck in my intestines. I was so deep in my thoughts that I walked right into Coiny. 

Coiny and I don't like each other at all. In second grade, I had a special relationship with my stapler, but Coiny stole it from me. I cried for three and a half years and despised him ever since that awful  day of tragedy... 

"You still exist?" asked Coiny.

"Yes, in fact, I do! That fact was even put in the '2073 Book of Every Fact in Existence'!" I replied.

Coiny slapped me, pulled one of the glow sticks out of my trachea, and walked away. Oh how I hate that coin. 

Leafy's POV:

The first class of the day is math with Mr. Announcer. I sat down on a cardboard box in his classroom, because there weren't any chairs. Mr. Announcer was a speaker box thing and I couldn't understand a thing he was saying. I tried to listen to his words the best I could, but he spoke too quickly and robotically. 

I was there for about half an hour, when glasses of certain liquids fell out of the ceiling. The teacher mumbled something and everyone started drinking the liquids. I saw milk, cranberry juice, bubbly pop, wine, and what I think was liquified metal. I went over to Firey to ask him what exactly we were doing. 

"We're drinking these, having a sensation about horses having fingers, and then knowing what the pH is." Firey told me.

"What?" I was confused. "But this is math class, not chemistry class."

"So?" asked Firey. I just shrugged and went back to my cardboard box. My drink looked like green paint. 

Firey's POV:

I poured the hedgehog urine down my throat and I stared into the abyss. And sometimes when you stare into the abyss, it looks like a pen. That pen started to turn and stretch to the point where it looked like the number 3, so that was the answer. Easy as Cheezies. For the rest of class, I was literally a pair of jeans.

Hours later (but not a lot of hours later)...

Leafy's POV: 

Yet another strange day at Happyrock. I didn't know what to do next, I was too afraid and confused to do anything in Mukmuk Land. Then, an idea came upon me. I did see a library while I was walking to school, how bad could that possibly be?

"Hey, Firey," I asked. "I saw a library, do you want to go there with me?"

"Sure, but enter at your own risk." What was that supposed to mean? It's just a library! After about a minute, we arrived. "You go on, I didn't want to come anyways HYO HYO HEEOHAHAGAHAAA BEANGLONDINGOGOC HAAAAAHAHOHO HYOEHHHHHH." Firey laughed. I ignored him and entered the building.

Inside, it was very dark. I didn't see any books. "Hello?" I said quietly. "Is this the library?"

"I am the library." An ominous voice spoke. I spun around and saw a floating lime green sphere with an enormous mouth. It was terrifying. "I am also the librarian who works at the library. I am also a Libra. TOAST WAS NEVER A TREE. What kind of book would you like?"

"Uhhh..." I thought out loud.

"I said, what kind of book would you like?"

"I don't know..."

"THEN WHY DID YOU COME HERE IF YOU WEREN'T PREPARED YOU FOOLISH LEAF???" The sphere opened its mouth and wrapped its slippery tongue around me. I screamed.

Firey's POV: 

I heard a scream that smelled like soup come from the inside of the library and I crawled into the building. The library had his tongue wrapped around Leafy. 

"Leafy, you pissed him off!" I exclaimed.

"Oh. Did I? Whoops. Um... can you get me out of here?" she asked.

"Normally, nobody would help you, but I think I'll get you out.

"Really? Thanks! Anyways, uh, do your thing..."

"POOF!" I yelled, and Leafy disappeared and is now sleeping on the ceiling of our house. I left the library, who now had their tongue wrapped around air, and rode a kangaroo home. 

The radio was not on, so I turned it on, and it played. The show MukmukRadio was on at the moment. MukmukRadio is on at all moments. 

The Very Tiny War of Not So Tiny Vehicles, after two days, has finally ended, with the zambonis being victorious. Therefore, all of your mini coopers will be replaced with them. How exciting! Also, at the edge of town, some very tall mountains have materialized  in the past week. Some Mukmuk Landers have been hired to feed the mountains corn, because without it, they are incredibly noisy. One resident, Pillow, has discovered that the mountains are the ones causing the sudden increase of stray chairs. Her source was a dream that she had. 

Is music real? Nobody knows. But if it is real, then let me share some with you. This is  'This Too Shall Pass' by Danny Schmidt.

(A/N - Listening optional)

It has been said by the Science Objects of Mukmuk Land (SOML) that many residents have been blurting out the phrase, 'TOAST WAS NEVER A TREE', which is odd. Unlike the new smoothies you can buy for just 1.95 doll hairs at Ice Cube's Cold Things Stand, which are just the best! I think I'll go there right no-TOAST WAS NEVER A TREE.

TOAST WAS NEVER A TREE. TOAST WAS NEVER A TREE. TOAST WAS NEVER A TREE.

TOAST.

WAS.

NEVER.

A.

TREE.

(A/N Sorry this chapter took so long :\ Please tell me what you think about MukmukRadio. I'll do more of those every couple of chapters. Stay tuned next for a 5-hour-long video of a Russian boy trying to cut a branch off a tree with a butter knife in his backyard)
