“Here we are!” Bonnie broke the silence.
They looked around at millions of doors. There were no words or numbers on them, each one was different though. Each one seemed to correlate to nothing, they were nonsense. Some were proper doors made of wood and glass. Others were completely glass, with nothing to see on the other side but a fog. A large majority of the doors were flat with what looked like a children’s style of artwork plastered all over the wood.
“There are so many of them!” Mark gasped in awe.
“Yea, gotta sort through them first,” Bonnie said, as he looked around.
“How do we know whose is whose?” Wade asked.
“It’d be easier if the others were here…but I might just have to start looking through doors,” Bonnie replied.
“Oh hey look!” Wade pointed.
Mark looked to see other figures. There were some humans standing around with the bear and the other characters he met before. They did not even notice Bonnie, Mark or Wade. They were engrossed in conversation.
Bonnie led the way to the group of people. Mark was glad to see that Bob, Sean, Ken and Michelle were already there. They were talking and seeming catching up to speed on what this place was and why they were needed. They sounded like they were pumped up and excited.
“Hey guys!” Mark waved as they approached.
“Mark! Where’d ye go?” Sean asked, “You were in the same room!”
“No idea! I woke up in a mansion!” Mark replied.
“Like what kinda mansion?” Michelle asked.
“Like the suit and tie,” Ken chuckled, “Looks good on you.”
“Well I was in underwear,” Mark looked down at himself.
“It uh…it looks good,” Sean said, uncertainly. He seemed like he was holding back a comment.
“Very spiffy,” Michelle giggled.
“I don’t know where I got them though,” Mark added, “I just woke up in this suit.”
“Like…you just woke up in them? Or like you woke up and they were by your bedside?” Michelle asked.
“Like, I went to bed in underwear…at the inn with Jack…and I woke up in a mansion bedroom – locked in mind you – and I was wearing this suit,” Mark explained, chuckling all the while.
“So like…you don’t remember changing?” Wade asked.
“No,” Mark shook his head. Michelle burst into laughter.
Ken was shaking his head, “You know what man? You know you’ve got bad stalkers when you wake up, and you’ve been dressed by somebody.”
“Are you wearing the same underwear?” Wade asked.
“I…” Mark cut off, not wanting to say without knowing himself, “Well I’m not even wearing the same shirt as I was earlier.”
“But, you’re not wearing the same underwear?” Wade was trying to contain fierce giggling.
“I don’t care wHO you are…that’s creepy!” Sean pointed at Mark.
“I actually…I don’t actually know what I’m wearing underneath this suit,” Mark admitted.
“Still hella creepy,” Ken chuckled.
“Can’t argue with that,” Mark agreed.
“Can we get on track?” the bear interrupted.
“What track?” Ken asked.
“We’re here to beat the Markimash!” Wade proclaimed.
“SHUT UP WADE!” Mark laughed.
“Seriously though, why are we all here?” Michelle asked, “I’m not very comfortable with this. I mean, I was kinda in the middle of sleep.”
“We let you get dressed, didn’t we?” the bear asked.
“AFTER you let a little…mole? Rat? Mouse? A THING! You let a thing crawl into my bed to wake me up!” Michelle proclaimed.
The Minx sniffed at her, curiously. Mark eyed it sideways. He did not think he would have enjoyed being woken by it either. Perhaps by puppy kisses all over his face. He loved dogs. But not that animal.
“Minx? Minx isn’t harmful,” the bear replied.
“I find it hilarious that you’re more disturbed by a little critter like that over a bear,” Ken laughed.
“You would be too, if it crawled into your bed with you!” Michelle exclaimed, with frustration.
“Alright…well…” Mark interrupted, “We do have a monster to destroy.”
“Yea…it just tried to eat Mark,” Wade added.
“I was doing just fine!” Mark proclaimed, defensively.
Michelle started laughing, “Are you serious Mark? You almost got eaten?”
“For reals! It’s not funny!” Mark exclaimed.
“Yea…yea…you weren’t fine until after Bonnie and I got there,” Wade said, sternly.
“And Tiny Box Tim!” Mark exclaimed.
“And Tiny Box Tim,” Wade admitted.
