Manny opened his eyes. There was nothing. Literally, nothing. He was swallowed up in a sea of still whiteness. He "stood up" and "walked around", mind you there was no ground so he couldn't tell if he was really moving. He walked for what seemed to be forever until he saw a lone door. He looked around for any traps but found nothing. He hesitantly opened the door and saw it was leading to a forest.

He walked through the door and saw it was where him and his friends had their picnic. He got emotional and turned to go back through the door but slammed into a tree. "What, where's the door?" "What door? Are you sick, Manny?" Manny whipped his head around to see Robin standing there, Harry not far sitting at a picnic.

Manny was overwhelmed and hugged Robin as hard as he could sobbing the whole time. "Whoa, what's wrong? Is it the chicken?" Manny sniffed. "N-no...I...I just can't believe you're alive." He looked at Robin who was very confused. Manny ran over to Harry and hugged him as well. "I can't believe you came back!" "Did I go somewhere?" Harry looked at Robin who shrugged. Manny looked up at Harry. "We need to get to the house and tell everybody you two are okay!" Harry looked at him. "Sure, that sounds fun." Harry and Robin started to put away the picnic. Manny was confused then gasped. "Harry would never say something was fun..."

He turned around and looked at the two. "Th-this isn't real!! You two aren't here!" Robin's eye began to bleed and Harry's head slowly turned all the way around. They both groaned deeply. Manny stared at his "friends" in horror as the sky became green and the breeze became a howling storm. "GREEN IS NOT A CREATIVE COLOR!!" Robin and Harry screeched. Manny started to run in the direction away from them. He could feel more and more pressure on him as he ran. Eventually it got hard to breath and his vision got slightly blurred. He shook his head and kept running. He wasn't going to stop until he found a way out. After a few more steps he collapsed and passed out, again.
