A ten year old girl goes by the name Erica, fell into a pond after a bright beam of light appeared from it. She was magically transported to a whole new world. How can she go back?
"Once upon a time, there was a beautiful golden glowing flower on top of a hill near The Kingdom of Corona. It was picked from the ground by royal guards to be given to the sick and pregnant queen. She drank a bowl of pure water mixed with the flower right before giving birth to a beautiful newborn baby girl. She was named Rapunzel."
"One late night, an evil old witch sneaked into the castle. Everyone was asleep, including little Rapunzel. She sang a special song that triggers the hair to glow. The glowing flower made the old witch look young and beautiful. She tried to cut a strand of hair for herself but it turned brown and the witch transformed to her original appearance. The old witch had another plan ; kidnap Rapunzel. Rapunzel then grew up in a very tall tower for sixteen years without experiencing the outside world."
"Wait...this is similar to my situation right now!" , exclaimed Erica. Mrs. Anderson laughed. "How so?"
"Well, I'm being grounded just because I got a C for Math... ", said Erica.
Mrs. Anderson sighed. "It's not forever, Erica." She kissed Erica's forehead. "Goodnight sweetie." Erica pulled her blanket and pouted.

It had been 30 minutes. Erica tossed and turned. She couldn't sleep. She got out of bed and sat on a chair by her window. The moon was shining so bright, it made the pond by her house shine with it. A few seconds later, she saw a bright magenta shining in the pond.
"What's that?", Erica said and jumped off her chair. "I gotta go check it out!" Erica got out of her bedroom and tiptoed down the stairs. She opened the front door and ran towards the pond. When she arrived at the pond, the shiny magenta was gone. She got to her knees and looked at her reflection in the pond. She raised her index finger and reluctantly touched the pond. Suddenly, an incredibly bright beam of magenta from the pond made Erica flinch and slip into it. Startled, Erica lost conscious for a few seconds and resurfaced. She gasped for air and was surprised by what she saw.

Erica was no longer at home or in town. In fact, she wasn't even sure if she was on earth anymore. Odd but beautiful red flowers around the pond were glowing, along with the pond she was in. Green balloon-like plants floated in the pond. And almost every plant glowed beautifully. Erica's mouth was wide open. She couldn't believe what she was witnessing.
"What in the world?", Erica said under her breath. She got out of the water and laid on the ground. She closed her eyes and took deep breaths. She then sat up and sighed. "Swimming classes sure are useful..." , Erica laughed. "Wait, I'm not supposed to be joking around here! Where am I??". She looked around the forest and started to panic. "Oh no...how am I gonna go home?" She looked at the pond and raised an eyebrow. Erica tapped her chin and took a deep breath. "Please work." Erica immediately sprinted towards the pond and did a cannonball. She held her breath and shut her eyes tightly, hoping she would magically transport back home. After a few seconds, she resurfaced.
To her dismay, she was still in the same world, same forest, same pond. She crawled out of the water and pouted and eventually sobbed. After a while, rustling sounds came from a huge bush. Erica stopped sobbing and said, "Hello?", with a quiver. The rustling sounds continued ; making Erica anxious. It got out of the bush and Erica was no longer afraid.
"Oh, it's just a deer...", She said with a laugh.
"Not just any deer though", said the deer.
Erica's jaw dropped and her eyes were wide open. "You...you can...talk?" The deer approached Erica and inspected her. "You are obviously not from around here...", the deer said. Erica blinked a few times. "Am I dreaming?", Erica asked. "That must be it! Pinch me!" "I can't. I have hooves. Not fingers. Sorry.", the deer said and gave her an odd look. Erica pinched her cheeks real hard. "Ouch!" The deer looked at her with full concern. "I suppose the pain answered your question?" Erica nodded. "I don't understand...this is surreal!"
"This is very real...", the deer said. "Where are you from? Mordor?" Erica raised her brow. "Mordor what? Is it a town or something?"
"It's a city. A city full of weird people. Everyone in THIS world knows what it is.", said the deer with a doubtful face.
"That's the thing, I'm not from THIS world!", Erica exclaimed. "Please help me! I came to this world through that stupid pond!", Erica said and pointed to the glowing pond. The deer looked at her peculiarly.
"Well? Can you or can you not help me?", Erica asked and put both of her hands on her hips. "I can't help you go home, but I know someone who knows someone who knows how to send you back.", said the deer while jerking it's head side to side at the word 'someone'. Erica nodded. "Okay then, let's go." She started walking.
"Stop.", the deer said. "First of all, I'M supposed to lead the way. Second, what makes you think I'll help you without getting to know you?" Erica stopped and turned. "Okay, fine. My name is Erica, I'm twelve years old, I'm from earth and my mom still tells me bedtime stories because they help me sleep, but not this time for some apparent reason.", Erica said and took another deep breath.
Silence occurred for a few seconds.
"Okay, my turn!", the deer said, with a smile. "My name is Bambi and I'm from this world called the Lunar Realm. My mother passed away when I was very young." Erica gasped and smiled. "Wait, you're THE Bambi?"
"Uh...I don't know which Bambi you're referring to but,...I'm Bambi...", said Bambi and looked at her from top to bottom. Erica shook her head and cleared her throat. "Okay, I think we're done getting to know each other. Lead the way.", she gestured to the forest.
