The Attic

"Is she awake?"

Sunlight filled her eyes as they fluttered open, surrounded by forest, butterflies fluttering around her.

"Is she awake? " A voice asked, it echoed around her, the butterflies flying away.

She groaned, sitting up. "How lovely, she's alive!" A feminine voice said, she flinched. She turned around slowly, a human-like goat in an apron and a human-like turtle in a librarian outfit with a pilot's hat stood in her view.

She slowly regrets her decision in turning around. She backed away slowly, tripping over a tree trunk and facepalming.

"Ow-" she groaned. The animal humans walked closer to her, she crawled backward, terrified "This must be a dream, I'm hallucinating. I fell on my head." She mumbled

"Are you okay, Sarah?" The turtle asked.

"Y-yeah, I'm okay-" She paused. She ran to a nearby lake and looked at her reflection.

"Zaza, what's up with her?" The turtle asked the goat. "I do not know." The goat responded.

Sarah screamed as she looked at her reflection, she saw a young girl with brown eyes and pale skin in a red shirt and a brown overcoat in blue jeans and boots. "I'm 11, again! What am I wearing?!" She whispered loudly, She saw the goat and the turtle appear behind her in her reflection.

"What is wrong, child?" Zaza asked, Sarah, turned to face them, her eyes filled with fear and frustration "T-this is wrong, everything wrong! I'm a fashion disaster!" She started to cry

"Really? That's it?" The turtle asked with a tone of sarcasm "Do not fret, child, we will find you a new pair of clothing-" Zaza began "But Zaza, we don't have any feminine clothing-" The turtle whispered. "Shush, Freddy."

Sarah stood up "It's okay, I-I'll manage with...this."

Zaza sighed, "Why do not we go inside, it is getting Inky." They nudged the two inside the treehouse. Entering the treehouse "Its a lot bigger than the outside, like, a lot bigger!" Sarah commented. She saw a bunch of books and cooking pans everywhere with a counter and a cash register. There were a bunch of holes in the wall and a bunch of animals on bookshelves.

"W-wow!" Sarah spat, she was amazed "You act as if you've never seen the treehouse, Sarah." Freddy said. Sarah paused, "It's not that, it just amazes me every time I see it."

"It is late, children. We must not be late for tomorrow's meeting." Zaza bleated "Yes, Zaza." Freddy called, dragging Sarah upstairs
