     Tapey was standing in front of me. I reached out my hand to him, but he just stared at me."They did this to me." Tapey whispered, holding my shoulders, "Get revenge for me. Kill that object, make them suffer." I looked at him, my face growing pale. What did he mean? He really was murdered? "Who did this to you?" I asked. Tapey nodded. "You'll see. Please. Please, make them suffer."

     ..Please.

     Croissant shot straight out of bed, breathing hard. "Please.." He muttered, unsure of what it meant.

     It was just a dream. He told himself, It's okay. But.. who killed Tapey? 

     Sitting up, he looked around his room in the hotel. Him and a few others had chosen this as their home when they'd first moved here. Ever since Misty had disappeared, the only object who could revive, life had been chaos. 

     Croissant got out of bed, and started to eat the pie that Rag had given her before. It was supposed to be cherry flavored, but it tasted more tangy and it was super sticky. Maybe she was trying out a new recipe. He thought to himself.

     He had put the other pies in the fridge, so he could eat them for lunch since they were all mini. He had told the others he would start looking for Tapey with them near the crack of dawn. They would meet at the bottom of the Misty Skyper, a tall skyscraper that appeared to go on forever. It reached far beyond the clouds. 

     Croissant brushed his teeth quickly, and then shot out of his room. It took forever to reach the bottom floor of the hotel. After that, he walked to the great Misty Skyper. Lightning cloud, Lilypad, Cupcake, Candii, Platey, and Lemon were there waiting for him. "Woah, am I late?" Croissant asked.

     "I dunno, you tell me?" Lemon said, crossing her arms.

     "Heh.. no..?" He said nervously.

     Lightning cloud slowly shook his head. "We were waiting here for ages! We were considering leaving without you."

     "Oh. Oops."

     Candii let out a sigh. "Well, let's go." She said.

     They all split up into groups. Croissant, Candii, Platey, and Lemon, Lightning Cloud, Lilypad, and Cupcake. Him and his group decided to look in the forest surrounding the city. Sadly, they couldn't find any sign of him there. "Maybe we should go back to see if they found anything." Platey suggested.

     "Good idea!" Candii agreed.

     "Sure." Croissant said.

     And so, the group started back to the city, where the others said they would look for Tapey. After all, he couldn't have gone far- if he was.. able to. 

     Maybe I should tell them about the dream I had. No, No. that would worry them to their core. They need to be alive and well- not depressed.

     'Please, please.' The words echoed in his head. Just then, his thoughts were interrupted by a voice.

     "Hello? Croissant?" Candii said, waving her arm in front of his face, "Are you okay? You suddenly stopped walking."

     "Oh yeah, I'm fine!" He said, chuckling nervously.

     "Hmm.." Platey squinted at him, "Well, let's get moving!"

     Croissant let out a sigh of relief.



     Rag had overheard the conversation with the group of objects. Lightning Cloud was looking in the city with his group, huh?

     She needed to find a way to separate him, so that he was alone. 

     Aha!

     Rag could see Lightning cloud and his group. She was hiding behind a bush, and there happened to be a rock on the ground near her.

     Reaching for it, Rag threw the rock towards a window. 

     Smash.

     The window was shattered, pieces of glass scattered next to it. "What was that?" She heard Lemon say.

     "I'll check it out." Lightning Cloud reassured her, flying near the window. Luckily, the window had been super far away, and she had good aim. That meant there would be a long distance between Lightning Cloud and his group. 

     "Meet us at the hotel!" Lilypad called to the lightning cloud.



     "You got it!" He said In response.

     Now, what broke this? He thought to himself.

     Just then, he heard a quiet voice.

     "Pssst, over here, in the alleyway." They said.

     "Uhm, that's kinda sketchy but okay." He responded.

     Lightning Cloud flew to the alleyway. The figure of an object stood before him, but he couldn't make out who it was.

     "Who are-"

     He was cut off by a syringe being stabbed into his arm with a greenish substance in it. It made him feel oddly dizzy. Lightning Cloud couldn't stop himself from falling asleep.


     "The sap of misty oaks." She said proudly as Lightning Cloud's body fell to the floor, "works every time."
