Plant Food

Pinky was plant food when we found her.
This giant flesh-eating plant is very sensitive, if you touch the leaves, big slithering arms slide out from the centre and try to pull you in. You don't stand a chance trying to smell this flower. Sad thing is, a lot of dolls die in Reality Forest because it smells so good.
We'll have to find the others and find them quick.

Finding The Others

We heard one of the girls screaming.

"It sounds like Pinky!" Jayson said.

It sounded like she was screaming for her life.

"We have to go find her. We should go now while the gator's occupied." I said.

Gina agreed.

"W-w-w-we can't." Jayson muttered.

"I'm sorry for what happened to Tracy Jay, but we have to go help the others before they get into more trouble. It's what's best Jay. We should stick together in Reality Forest. You come with us..."

"...or you can stay here and watch the rest of your best friend get eaten by the gator. Maybe you'll be next in line. You look like a nice tasty meal to a gator. Slurp! There'll be scavengers here soon too."

Pinky Escapes! Or Does She?

Pinky ran fast through the bush. She certainly wasn't getting eaten by the alligator.

The sun was shining down and the air was very sticky. She pushed her way through and ended up in a nearby clearing.

She didn't see the big plant in front of her. It had a beautiful pink, fragrant flower with hundreds of pollen stems in the centre. The leaves were fern-like and very long.



She fell over it.

Pinky landed on the ground in front of the plant.
Luckily the stems weren't painful. She was a bit stunned from the fall. "Ouch! That hurt."
She thought she noticed a bone.
The flower still smelled heavenly.

Something slimy slithered up her leg. Pinky tried to get away. It was pulling her in.

This is no ordinary flower.

This is a Reality Forest flower. And the only thing it eats is doll flesh.
Pinky screamed for her life.

The Gator Attacks

Everyone ran.
The monster gator had a hunger in his eyes.
Jayson dived out of the way towards me.

Pinky dove into the bush...

...and Peter jumped over some bushes too.

He's going to end up with some serious scrapes and scratches.

Tracy had everywhere to go but couldn't move.

The Gator Moves In

No one else saw the alligator moving in.

It was vicious and nasty, and looking for trouble. Did I mention it was big? It was very very big. Not as big as the last one we ran into, but it was big enough.

Pinky was first to see it. She screamed, "Holy crap! Look at the size of that thing. Look Out!"

He showed a very healthy row of sharp teeth as he snapped.



It was headed for Tracy and Jayson.

Talking To The New Meat

We talked and tried to figure out why we were here? How we got here? And what do we all have in common for us to be here? I asked everyone if they could start naming things that we might have in common.

"I was MVP on the soccer team in high school." Jayson said.

Tracy turned to Jayson, "I think Matthew means something we ALL have in common. Something that we've all experienced perhaps like taking the same medicine or breaking a bone. Has anyone else done any of these things?"

Pinky asked if anyone had something pierced.
Some of us, but not all of us had. (wink wink)

Peter said he was bit by a dog.
No one else had been bitten by a dog.
Gina said she was bitten by love a long time ago.
I don't think finding a common bond is going to be too easy.

Meeting More Of Pinky's Friends

Pinky sat down and introduced everyone.

Tracy sat next to Jayson, in the striped shirt. They both looked very happy to sit.
Pinky said, "This is Tracy and Jayson."
"Oh it's so good to sit." Tracy said.



Pinky whispered. "The two girls behind us stick to themselves. I used to think they were stuck-up bitches, but I just think their still in shock being here. They've only been here a couple of weeks. The blonde seems a bit more level headed than the brunette. We just know their names. Rachel is the dark-haired one, and the blond is Jenna. The little guy, Peter, is just keeping an eye on them by walking with them. Sshhhh, here they come."

Pinky introduced them, "Here comes Rachel and Jenna. And Peter is trailing behind them. Hey guys this is Matthew and Gina."

Like I said to myself earlier, the new meat.

Meeting Pinky's Friends

They came walking out of the thick bush. 'New meat' I thought to myself. I've been trapped in Reality Forest for a long time and I've never seen this many people alive in one place. I don't have a good feeling about this. Tragedy always happens in Reality Forest.

The first person to walk out was a tall guy with a naive smile. Pretty fit looking.

The girl behind him was cute and sexy. No other way to describe her. She seems a bit innocent but this is Reality Forest.

We all stared at each other. 

I don't know if they were suprised to see us, or the waterfall.

Pinky's Friends Are Coming

"You have friends with you?" I asked her.

Of course I do." she giggled. "You can't survive in this place alone. My friends are right behind me. Here they are now."

Meeting Pinky

It was a big shock to see someone new and alive in Reality Forest. She looked a bit ragged. Her hair was kinda jacked up, but I'd still do her.

I asked her where she came from.

"Not sure. I just woke up and I was here in this forest. That was a long time ago. The name's Pinky. Who are you?"

"This is Gina and I'm Matthew."

Pinky was stunned by the waterfall.
"Wow! It's so beautiful! My friends have gotta see this."
Her friends?

Did You Hear That?

Gina was getting agitated, "Are you going to rub my feet today? I don't have all day Matthew."

I shushed her. "Hold it a sec. Did you hear that? And you do have all day."
"Would you quit worrying about every little friggin' noise Matthew, and get to the feet!"

"Holy smokes! Look Gina! It's someone walking there!"
