Curiosity led them through the library and out the door. "Cautious," she announced.

"Why?" Hope skipped closer to Curiosity.

"No, no. We go to Cautious. I've talked to him before. He can tell us how to get to... well what do you call that world?"

"Hmmm," thought Reality. Light muttered options of names.

"I got it!" Reality jumped, stretching in out her arms and legs like she was about to do a cartwheel. "The Juicy Way! Because it's our way to save ourselves."

"But juicy?" Asked Light. "How about The Water Way?"

"I don't know," Curiosity jumped into the conversation. "I think The Water Way already exists."

"Okay," Reality's eyes jumped around, looking up and down. "The Milky Way? Milk builds strength. We will get strength by doing this."

"Yeah, that works," Curiosity and Light said at the same time. Fantasy was following the talkative clump, feeling unwanted. She looked around and decided where she would go.

Meanwhile, Curiosity led the "clump" towards Cautious' house. It was... sad. Like, really sad.

Not in a crying sense, but, the fact that someone lived in that house, if you could call it a house...

It was a brick house, but it shined like there was plastic over it. The door had three bells, the first one being normal, the second one if the first one wasn't reaching him, and so on.

They rang the first bell, and Cautious came to the door. He was carrying a little, white, fluffy, puppy. "He-llo," he looked dubious. "I'm Cautious. This is my dog, Cautious Junior. Just in case I go to the Bahamas."

Reality stifled a giggle. Light said, "Do you know how we can go to The Milky Way?"

"What?" He said, still inspecting us as if his eyes were a metal detector.

"I mean, the human's world."

"Oh, you mean Earth?"

Light stepped back. "It's called Earth? How did I not know that?"

Cautious shrugged. "Eh. So, why do you want to go? Because if you have to sneeze, I might get the measles. And if you need to cough, I'll eat potatoes! Deadly potatoes! Deadly potatoes!"

"We need to save Fantasy," Light replied carefully, making sure that Cautious didn't know that he was dying. That would not end well.

"And who is this Fantasy?"

"Well, I'm Light, this is Reality, Hope, Curiosity, and Fantasy -"

But Fantasy wasn't there. She had disappeared.

Three cheers for deadly potatoes!
