Arthur and D.W. had successfully made it to the Imaginary World. The only problem is getting out of the rocket ship.
Arthur: D.W. don't press that.
D.W.'s finger hovered above one of the many other identical blue buttons.
D.W: It could be the one that will open the rocket door.
Arthur: Just don't. Let me handle it.
D.W. rolled her eyes.
Arthur: Let's see what this place looks like before we get out.
D.W: If you say so.
D.W. shrugged. Then jumped out of her seat and headed to the dark window and stared out with awe.
D.W: It looks like WonderWorld. But better.
Arthur came to the window, and got a good look outside. D.W. was right. It did look like WonderWorld, if it was a city. It was full of colorful imaginary people, created from the many human minds back on Earth.
D.W: What's our mission again?
Arthur: To save Pal, and your imaginary friend that you don't remember.
D.W: Oh yeah.
D.W. walked to the stubborn door, and stared at it.
D.W: Now what's your plan on getting us out?
Arthur went to stand beside D.W., and studied the door.
Arthur: I'm not sure. I don't see a giant red button near the door.
All at once, the rocket door lowered down like a drawbridge, bringing in warm summer air that landed on the two siblings' faces.
D.W: It's a dragon?
It was a small green cartoon dragon wearing a blue vest right before them, who had tiny wings poking out of his back.
Small Dragon: Hello, you must be the imaginary Arthur and Dora Winifred.
D.W: Don't call me-
Arthur: Quiet.
Arthur whispered harshly to her.
Arthur: Yeah that's us.
Arthur fidgeted with his glasses with one of his hands.
Small Dragon: My name is Avvocato. Nadine's former lawyer. It's a shame what she did. I tried my best to defend her actions. But it was a consequence that couldn't be left unpunished.
D.W: Yeah, that's too bad. But why was the button on the outside of this rocket?
Avvocato: It must've been a design flaw. Good thing you had me around to help. I'll show you into our community. Follow me.
Arthur and D.W. didn't know if they should trust this guy. He might be leading them to a trap. But what else could they do? So, they followed the lawyer.
The pavement distracted the two kids. Since it was obvious that it was made out of the cookie part of a million Oreos.
D.W: How is this not getting spoiled?
Avvocato: It's a piece of a child's imagination that this world decided to use. Do you like it?
Arthur: Is it edible?
Avvocato: You would need a chisel in order to get a bite of it. Let's keep going.
Just ahead of them was something similar to airport security with a bunch of scanning doorways. Many of the imaginary people were entering on one side and exiting on the other. Both sides organized in lines.
