Chapter 2: A Whole 'Nother Day

Sammy had a sleepover there after trying to explain to her mom about her mysterious disappearance over the phone.

Elizabeth went  to feed her dog, but she couldn't find him.

"Scruffy, where are you?" she said. BARK, BARK! "Where did that come from?" Elizabeth said as she ran toward the noise.

It was coming from the phone.

"Scruffy, where are you?" she said again.

Then, she heard a bunch of barking from all directions. She looked in her backyard and there were at least a hundred Scruffies! She hurried to Sammy, who was still sleeping in their room, and woke her up. Elizabeth was wearing a  white dress with lace on the top and sparkles on the bottom, over that she was wearing a ruffly white cardigan, and a red and black plaid fedora.

"Sammy! Sammy! There are hundreds of Scruffies outside! Did you notice anything weird last night?" she asked.

Sammy had fallen asleep in her clothes from yesterday, she was wearing a t-shirt that had a panda on it that said "Did you say something? I didn't hear you. I was to busy being awesome!" , a grey hoodie, and a pair of light washed skinny jeans.

"Well, you did wake me up in the middle of the night, you were talking in your sleep saying "Oh, Scruffy! You're the best dog ever! I wish there was a million of you!". So, I just ignored it and went back to sleep." Said Sammy.

"Oh my gosh! I wish I didn't..." Sammy had stopped her in the middle of her sentence.

"Thanks Sammy!" She said. "That was a close one!" She added.

"Elizabeth?" Sammy asked.

"W-What?" Elizabeth replied.

Nobody had called her by her first name since she was six years old! She was so surprised Sammy had called her that!

"Well, what if you had wished that all this never happened? What would happen to me? Would I dissapear? Would Scruffy stay here? Would-" Sammy asked Elizabeth.

Just then the real Scruffy came running in and jumped onto Sammy's lap.

"Oh, Scruffy! There you are!" Sammy said.  "Look Elizabeth, he's back!" She added.

"Oh, I've missed you so much, Scruffy! There's a million of you out in the backyard, but I couldn't find the real you anywhere!" Elizabeth said.

"C'mon Elizabeth, let's take him for a walk." Said Sammy.

"Ok, but we have to feed him first, look at him, he looks so hungry!" Elizabeth said.

They went down stairs to feed Scruffy.

"Here you go Scruffy, enjoy!" Said Sammy.

Elizabeth went into the hallway to find Scruffy's leash. She got the lease and went back into the kitchen. After Scruffy was doneeating Elizabeth picked Scruffy up and put on his leash. Then Elizabeth went up stairs to tell her Mom that they were going to take Scruffy for a walk.

"Come back soon!" Elizabeth's Mom said.

"OK!" Elizabeth said. "Let's go!"

Elizabeth went into her room and got hers and Sammy's backpack, then she walked back downstairs and into the kitchen. They walked out the door and headed towards the park. On their way there they were stopped by a pair of twins, one boy and one girl.  They were both wearing weird clothing, it kind of looked like a kimono.

"Um, Hi... We are trying to go the park with our dog, so, can you let us go?" Sammy said.

"No, I am sorry, but we cannot." The mysterious boy replied. "My name is Cloud and this is my sister, Blue Skye, we are here to help you, we are your gaurdians." The boy said.

"We have to protect you from the Ruler. The Ruler is an evil king, granting everybodys wishes, in return, he steals a little bit of their mind, and after ten wishes, they are gone forever!"  Cloud added.

"Well, it's a good thing we only wished three wishes in all!" Elizabeth said. "I'm Elizabeth and this is my best friend, Samantha, but you can call her Sammy." Elizabeth added.

Elizabeth was wrong, they had made five wishes already.
