“This is fun!” Felix laughed as he bounced up and down, “Wheee!”
Mark laughed as his body flopped against the bouncy ground. It was like trying to walk in a bouncy castle, only he had shoes on. He had a strange desire to remove his shoes, if just for the sake of nostalgia. It brought back the fun of trampolines.
But, as he looked around, he realized that it was more than that. The whole world was bouncy. Even the slightest bounce he made echoed through this world, as buildings jiggled and swayed for miles around. Everything responded to the movements under his and Felix’s feet.
“I want an entire house like this!” Felix laughed.
Mark laughed again, “That would be awesome! This is awesome! Look at this place! Everything bounces!”
“I wonder where the others are. They are totally missing out!” Felix exclaimed, overjoyed by the blissfulness of this world.
“I’ll admit, this is kinda fun,” Mark said, as he let himself bounce around, “But, I feel like we’re wasting time, when we need to be finding the others.”
“I know,” Felix said, “But while we’re at it, we might as well bounce around and look!”
“Okay,” Mark bounced after Felix, following him into what appeared to be a city.
The city was filled with odd things. There were no people, just random things. They were all soft and bouncy as well. There were cars that bounced around, making squeaky noises. A little blue and green mail box bounced around, honking like a bird.
“Look at that!” Felix pointed to the sky, as a large balloon started rising above the buildings’ rooftops.
“How do we get up there?” Mark stopped to look up at the balloon. It was moving slowly, so he started to wonder if they could catch it.
“I don’t know…but I wanna!” Felix sprinted down the street, causing everything to bounce around him.
“Wait for me!” Mark called, as he darted after Felix.
They hurried down the street, following after the balloon. It did not rise very far, making its way slowly upwards. It did not ascend as Mark had expected, but it did move up over the buildings, moving slowly away from them. It seemed to be headed towards a particular destination.
“Oh gawd,” Felix stopped in his tracks, panting heavily.
Mark darted past him, with his eyes set on the balloon. If they could reach the balloon, they could get a better view of the world. It could provide them with transportation as well. If anything, it could be a useful tool for finding the others.
“Wait up, Mark!” Felix called after him.
“Let’s catch that damn balloon!” Mark called over his shoulder.
