In The Clouds

Chapter 1

     "Josh! Hey, Joshy! Wake up!" a voice called out. Josh opened his eyes and met beautiful, clear blue eyes. "You're awake! Finally!" the voice said. "Ah... Mimi? Oh! I am awake, heh. What happened?" Josh asked the girl.

    "You've been asleep for a month! I've tried many different tactics to try and wake you up, but they all never worked. I'm so glad that you're finally awake and alive!" Mimi said and hugged her best friend. Josh hugged Mimi back, and they finally pulled away; rubbing his head Josh groaned. "After the war, you had been knocked out by Cage, but I managed to kill him before he got a chance to kill you," Mimi explained to Josh. "He tried to kill me?" Josh asked and Mimi nodded. Mimi got up off of the bed and walked downstairs to the kitchen. It took Josh a while before he finally got up and washed up.

    Josh finally joined Mimi downstairs in the kitchen and saw pancakes on the table. "Aw, you really didn't have to do this, Mimi..." Josh said. "Hey, for a person who's been out for a month, just accept the breakfast," Mimi laughed. Josh smiled and went to eat the pancakes that were made for him. "Thank you," he said and Mimi smiled. After he was done eating, Josh decided to go back to his home in the woods. He walked the streets passing by large, towering buildings. That was until he came across the forest that had separated the city and another city called, Gardenia.

    Josh lived in the forests because it was peaceful and quiet, and he knows someone who lives in Gardenia. Josh took a deep breath and walked into the forest; he followed the path that he had made. Once he arrived at his little cabin, Josh unlocked the door and walked into his house. "Honey, I'm home!" He cried out, but no one came. "Haha, just kidding. I'm home, bed. Finally after a whole month of being out." He went straight to his room and lied on his bed. "Ugh, what should I do? Should I go out, or should I stay?" He asked himself. It took a while before Josh finally made up his mind.

Josh got up from his bed, and headed out. He walked through the forest and entered a vast, wide clearing with bright, green grass. Looking up, Josh was a few feet away from the forest peoples' home, Gardenia. A soft smile formed upon his lips and he entered through the towering doors. Josh looked around, amazed at how Gardenia evolved during his slumber. As Josh walked through Gardenia, he walked to it's center at the very bottom. "Welcome! Where would you like to go?" Asked the bellhop. "The very top. I'd like to meet the Queen," Josh replied. "Wow! Alrighty, I'll take you up," the bellhop said, and up was where they went.

When the "elevator" reached the top, Josh exited and walked past the glorious waterfalls and up to the vine gates. He took a deep breath, and the doors opened for him.

"Josh! I'm so glad to see you, old friend!"
