How I got Trapped in Virtual Magic Kingdom
How I got trapped in Virtual Magic Kingdom
By Zackoid
Well, it all started recently. I’ve fallen back into insomnia where my mind is restless thinking of anything and everything. I just couldn’t sleep! Football picks, job security, goals for the next day, what I should wear going out, what movie to watch and what things I’ve got that’s rare and ready to be traded in VMK. That’s how most of my nights are of endless mind boggling thoughts; Day after day, week after week. I didn’t know when or how I was going to manage to get some decent sleep.
The one time that insomnia really hit me was on a Tuesday. Driving home from work wasn’t safe. I was dozing off at the wheel which isn’t good. I’d be driving straight until I see a car close to me and I would wake up. I was thinking at that moment, “Hum, what should I do today in VMK? Who’s all going to be on? What games should I play? Will I beat Dangerzone again in fireworks?”
My eyes shut completely…”Will I find the next step into conquering Kingdom Hearts……” BAMM!!!!! A truck carrying gravel hit me from behind sending me into the middle of a busy intersection. I opened my eyes immediately to see what was happening but it was dark. It was too late. Pitch black darkness.
Insomnia took over and here I was unconscious in some kind of state of mind. I didn’t know where I was. A little while later, I opened my eyes and there I was in digital form. But everything around me was black. I screamed, “HELLO! Is anyone there? Anyone Here? Can anyone hear me?” Echo. Echo. No response. I was all alone. I didn’t know what to do. I walked around this dark world with no direction in hand. After several long minutes I came upon a blue octagon shaped panel. It was on some make shift wall to the right of me. Talking to myself, “Humm.. That’s a nice shade of blue but..” I feel the surface of the panel, “ what the heck is this?” At that moment, my surroundings turned into the VMK Homepage.
”Huh, I know this place!” Before I could go anywhere, I heard an angry BONK! I looked down behind me and saw and envelope shaped button lit up. I’m used to pointing my mouse and clicking on the button. But, what the heck do I do in THIS world? I touched the button with my finger, nothing happened. I walked on the button, nothing happened. Feeling around my pockets some sort of device made of light illuminated my blue workout pants. Hanging there was a silver mouse pendant. I was thinking, “What? Where did I get this? Maybe it’s a rare costume of some sort.” I pulled the pendant out of my pocket and attached to that was the powerful keyblade I’ve seen Sora with!
“WHOA!! Doesn’t someone more important than me need this??” I was admiring the key shining in the light. “Hum, I wonder if this would open my mail and take me to different lands? “ So there I was, pointing the keyblade downward in front of me. It looked like I’m ready to rip a hole in the floor. The key started to shake and then I see this cool looking illuminated keyhole and Wham! My Mail was opened!
OH look! I’ve got a new message from Dangerzone. A Holographic Dangerzone immerged from the message wearing a wizard outfit. The message read, “In order for you to find the light to your heart, you have to complete these five simple tasks: 1) Find all the NPCs all over the Kingdom. They will each give you a special item that will help you on your journey. 2) Earn 500 to pass the starting line. 3) Get a score of 75,000 points or higher in Fireworks. A Little helpful hint: Watch for the stars in the skies. 4) Join in a Pirate Ship Battle. Defeat your opponents by collecting all the ammo and life chests. Lastly 5) Find VMK_Hula. Tell her you’re ready for a game.
Complete all tasks and you will be led to the light in your heart.
“Ok Dangerzone. I’ll go forth and complete these tasks.” “May the force be with you.” So, I left the mighty wizard and was off to complete the ever-difficult quest. I pulled out my keyblade to point me to one of the NPCs Direction. DING! Opened the vmk map. “Humm, where should I head to first?” I pointed the keyblade to Main Street and the Emporium. I was transported into the store. “[ Insert Esmeralda phrase in here [“ “Welcome Zackoid. Have you ever heard of the term “I’m going to Disneyland?” “What? Huh? What’s Disneyland?” I replied to the voice. “Insert a coin and I’ll tell you the future.” I walked up to the fortune teller machine in the middle of the store. I inserted two quarters and then the room began to spin around me. Smoke and air *or what I’d like to call the dry ice effect) Surrounded me. Esmeralda started to speak again. This time the machine illuminated. She turned into a holographic person and started talking to me. Behind her I saw random scenes being flashed before my eyes. Some stayed long while the others showed a scene and it was gone in a blink of an eye.
“Zackoid. I see that you are stuck in the Virtual Kingdom. To find your way home, you’ll need to make three friends in the kingdom. You have to find someone that’s experienced and knows their way around the kingdom. Another person that knows magic. And lastly, someone who has a big heart. With the help of your friends you’ll find a difficult battle in the end. Here’s 20 munny. Keep it safe in this munny bag. Enjoy your visit in the magical kingdom!” “Cool! I got Munny!”
I walked out of the emporium into Main Street. I wanted to look around. I didn’t k now how long I was going to be in the game. From where I was standing, I can see the Walt & Mickey Statue. I thought, let me head there. See if I can make some friends. I still needed to earn 500 credits. Thought about the munny in my pocket. “I think I can use that to add to my credits earned. Let me see what else I can do in here. You know, enjoy it while it lasts.
I wonder if I can see my buddy list? I used the keyblade to open my mail. I checked my friends list. “Oh! My friend Junonia is on so is Aficionada and Fairiesprite! Wait? How Could I tell the time in the Kingdom?? I never noticed a clock to be anywhere around. I guess I need to find one of those grandfather clocks. Humm, I wonder if they would like to help me get home? I clicked on my mail again and thought of sending them a message. But, I don’t have a keyboard!! I guess the only way I can do this would be talking to them in person. I looked at the list. Junonia was in the mansion game, Aficionada was off at the arcade and Fairiesprite was not in any room. “Boy these people are busy! I’ll go pay Captain Blackheart a visit instead. By the way, the Keyblade is awesome! I just hope Sora didn’t get DC and dropped the weapon here.”
With that, I pointed the keyblade to the world map. Touched Adventureland and then Pirate Treehouse. I entered the treehouse to see some crazy pirate swinging around his door and up to the crown’s nest set in the middle of the floor! It was Captain Blackheart! “Aye Aye Matey! What brings you here to ma Tree House?” “Captain, I’m trying to get out of this place! Can you point me in the right direction? Who do I have to beat to get my way? Got any goodies for me?” “Calm down fellow buccaneer! Slow down. Too many questions hurting’ me head! All you have to do is win at Ship Battle back there at the POTC Port. Once you win, you’ll find those specially marked packages with doubloons in them.” I was confused. “What? Specially marked packages? What are you talking about Blackheart?” “Argh Matey! Beat the game; you advance to the next task. Got it?” “Uhh, I think so captain.” I was totally confused. “Specially marked packages? Those usually are those cereal boxes or some kind of promo gig” Before I left the tree house in the sky, Blackheart gave me two magic pins: the first being the pirate magic and second was the teleportation magic. I guess when in need I’ll turn into a teleporting pirate.
So, I was off to Pirates of the Caribbean lobby. I just walked off the plank in the treehouse, and then just walked through the gates of Pirates. I jumped into a quick game with other players and won. After the game, that “specially marked package” magically appeared with what do you know, doubloons inside. There were 3 doubloons which were worth 100 each. “Cool! I’ve got 320 munny. I need to earn more!” I was tired by that time. Just doing whatever people were telling me. I walked over to the new pirate room and just took a seat at one of the barrels. I needed to plan out my strategy. I still had to wrangle up 3 friends to help me with the final task. I knew I was loosing time and getting way too exhausted.
I checked my buddy list to see if my friends were available. I messaged Fairiesprite, aficionada and Junonia. “Hey Hey! It’s Zackoid. You wouldn’t believe this but I’m literally STUCK in VMK! I need your help into getting me out of here and back home. Think you can help me out? Message me back-“A few seconds later, I got a message from Fish. He wrote,” What is it now? Did you get any sleep at all? Or, are you dreaming?” Ok. I guess he knows that I’m not a very good sleeper. I wrote back “yeah... well, a mix of all tree. I really need to get out here since I’m stuck IN VMK! I want to go home cause, I really don’t know what will happen to me if I don’t. Are you in or are you out?” I then see Fish walking into the pirate room. “Zackoid! Count me in!” “Thank you so much fish!”
With that, I had to get the remainder of NPC’s. We both visited Shrunken Ned’s. He gave me a purple tent saying “This will protect you from evil. Rest for a bit and your powers will recharge” He also gave me 20 munny. That makes it 340 munny. I need a little more to go! So after Neds, I followed Fish into the Haunted Mansion Stretching room. I was tired of using the keyblade. That thing can get heavy after a while!
I visit Ezra, Phineas and Gus with all three giving me 60 munny. Now I was down to 100 more to make and then I’ll be close to getting out of there. Time was running out and standing in the mansion ballroom it was thirty minutes to midnight. I had to hurry! All I needed now was to visit the Yeti and the evil dragon.
I looked again on my buddy list and saw that everyone was gathered at Tom Sawyer Island. “Must be a closing dance ready to happen!” Anyways, I clicked on my friend junonia. I messaged her informing her of my situation. She met me at the mansion and together we teleported into the Matterhorn. I clicked on the Yeti to see what happens. “ARRGH! Is it me or did someone turn down the thermostat?” Yeti exclaimed. I responded, “Yeti, It’s freckin cold in here! What are talking about?” “Thanks Zackoid. I love snowball fights! Want to join in?” “actually I’m in a rush here. I have to go back home. I love vmk but, I really don’t want to be stuck here forever!!” “I see I see” said Yeti. “Ok, well, here’s Mickey’s 50th Golden Lamp. When you’re in dark places, turn it on and it will light your way.” “Thank you Yeti! Stay cool now!” With that I put it in my pocket. He gives me 20 more munny to add to my collection! Ok 420 munny total. I’m down 60 more. After that, I met Junonia in the Dungeon. Maleficent was sort of in a good mood. She wasn’t burning any guys at the stake. I guess when someone takes a detour going down the ladder, that’s when she’ll fight back and light their fire.
”Who’s the creepy little mouse running around here?” Maleficent wonders. I reply, “Uh, there’s no mouse here. Hi! I’m zackoid!” “Oh, you. What do you want Zackoid” “You’re the last NPC I have to find.” “Oh, is that so? Who sent you on this crazy hunt?” “Umm, that would be Dangerzone. But please, don’t put him in any danger.” “Well well then zackoid, sticking up for your friends?” “Yes! I always do!” “In that case, to get your final NPC Credits, You have to battle against me in a Pirates Ship Battle! See if you and your friends can sink my ship. Bring it on Small fry!”
”What are we going to do Zackoid? I’ve never battled Maleficent!” Junonia asked. I Clicked on my buddy list and messaged Fairiesprite and Aficionada. I wrote “Hey! I really need your help! Meet me at Pirates of Caribbean dock and get ready to battle!” With that, me and Junonia jumped over to the Pirates of the Caribbean dock. We see the dragon knocking all the boats off the dock! “Oh, it’s getting crazy here Junonia! Let’s start the game before she takes over the entire land!” I clicked on Start game, Level Three and Ship Battle. I chose my ship.. and Junonia jumped on my side too. Maleficent herself took up for ships already on the Pirates side. I see Fish and Fairy rush to our side.. “Zackoid! What’s going on?” Fish asked. “Uhh, no time to explain. Just get on my side and kick some dragon ####!” Fairy joined as well as fish. Maleficent was ready! I didn’t even have to click when the game automatically started. When the black screen transported me to the game all I heard was “You’re going down Zackoid!”
So, the battle is on. We go on three rounds with Maleficent winning the first, and we won the last two. “WOOOT!!! WE WON!” With that win, I earned 154 credits! I showed Fairy my bag of munny. “Awesome! With that win, I earned 500 munny! And at the same time got the Last NPC and also joined in a Pirate ship Battle. !” “that’s great Zackoid! What else do you have to do to get back home?” I checked the message from Dangerzone. “Ok, I earned 500, found all the NPC’s and played in Pirates battle. All I have to do now is Find VMK_Hula and score high in fireworks! Well, at least 75,000” Fairy’s face lit up. “Hey, we’ll all join in the game of fireworks. Me and fish will find an open game and you and Junonia meet us there that good?” “yeah! I’ll meet you there!”
With that, I was stressing if I was able to get back home. I know it was passed midnight and I got all worried. Junonia saw the look on my face. She said that if it was time to go, a big blue box would appear and would say that it was closed. I put my munny bag back in my pocket. Before we left the dock, I saw a small pin with a note attached to it. It was from Maleficent! The note read “Zackoid, Great game in fireworks! Here’s a pin promised. Hope you’ll find your way back to where you have to go. ~Maleficent” Under it was the Bat Magic pin!! I was surprised!! YAY!!! Now I got something cool to wear and turn into! I turned around and the dock was filled with more people. I see someone there that’s got green ears! I went up to the person and it was Hula!! “Hello there Hula! I’m supposed to tell you that I’m ready for a game” “Oh, Hi there Zackoid! Yes, Dangerzone did inform me that you were to play a game. Unfortunately there isn’t one scheduled. But I can make up an easy game for you. How’s that?” I was excited.. “Sure hula! Just show me where to go and what to do!” “Ok. Well, follow me to the Fireworks Lobby. We’ll get things started there.” People were starting to bug Hula and at the moment, she jumped and went to the fireworks lobby.
”Ok Junonia. Let’s go! Fireworks here we come!” We jumped into the Room Fish and Fairy were in. Hula was there too. Thank goodness no one else was around. I went up to Hula, “Hula, these are my friends: Junonia, Aficionada and Fairiesprite. They’re here to Help me get home.” “Nice to meet you all! Ok, this is a group game. All is involved. You’ll all be playing fireworks. It says that Zackoid has to earn 75,000 or more right?” “Yup. That’s what’s written in here” Hula got out her nifty clipboard with a big blue button on the bottom. She explained more “We’ll make this game fun. To get 1,300 points, we all know that you should be Not in first but have a score over 240,000. Right? Well, this fireworks game will be played by the four of you with say, aficionada took the first level in fantasyland then fairy taking the next Junonia takes tomorrow land you will take frointierland and in the end, all of you will play Park View. Is that understandable?” we all say “YES!” Ok, Remember, a total score of 240,00 will get all of you a prize. Good Luck!” With that said, Hula pressed the big blue button and the PLAY FIREWORKS Button was initiated. We all touched the button and held hands. We were then transported in our gummi ship.
Aficionada got ready for his level. We all got strapped into our seats while Fish’s seat rotated to the font of the control panel. Hula’s voice was heard in the tiny ship, “Good Luck all! I know you’ve played a lot. It’s all the same with a few adjustments. Fish are you ready?” “YES!” He said excitedly. “Ok, here we go!” With that, the first level started. We’re all behind him in our seats cheering him on. “COME ON FISH! You can do it!” “FISH! FISH! GET SOME FLAWLESS!” “You can do it!!” I know he was concentrating hard. Aficionada got a score of 41,857. It was a good score! Fish was thrilled he did awesome. Our chairs then rotated and then Fairiesprite got ready. Level two Adventureland. She’s a pro at fireworks hitting all the stars on their dot. FLAWLESS Just shined on the windshield. I don’t know how she does it but she’s good! LOL! After round 2 she gets a score of 87.874. (fyi to readers.. this is just a dream not really the GAME!) Next up Junonia playing tomorrowland level 3. She too is a pro at fireworks. With her play, she got a total score of 100,032. Next up is me! Haha. I did my best with the fireworks. I should say, fantasyland is my favorite but, fish already did that. So, there I am..Kicking some fireworks bootie! I get mostly flawless but mixed into it there’s some GOOD and Awesome. In the end, our fourth level score was 187,906. It wasn’t the best. But I know we’ll make it over 240,000. So, in the last round of fireworks, the ship lined our seats together in front. I suggested that Junonia Fairy and I will take each stage with Fish catching all the fireworks that could be missed. I took on the first stage. Fish and I catching all the pyro with Flawlessness. Next Fairy and Fish take it on. Fairy took one side while fish took the other. I guess it works best with two pointers? Haha. Then lastly Junonia kicked butt catching the fireworks display at the end. All in all we got a total score of 247,585. We aimed for 240 and woot!!! We did it!! We cheered and hi fived everyone. Then we exited the gummi ship through the castle that was marked 2.
Hula Greeted us at the bottom of the stairs. “Great work everybody! With that, you each will get 1300 in points. You can do as you choose with your munny. A great team does fantastic together! Great job!” Dangerzone appeared and walked up to me. “Great Job Zacky! I knew you can do it!” “Thanks danger.” “Oh, I guess I should do this for you” He did his magic and a locked door appeared. Dangerzone explained, “With the keyblade, you’ll open the doors to the real world. You did a great job here in the Virtual Kingdom. You will be missed!” “Aww, don’t say that Dangerone! You’ll always see me!” Junonia fairie and fish all came up to me and gave me a hug. Fairy said “You’ll be missed. It was fun girl!” “thanks guys! Thanks for helping me in this journey. I better get back.” At that moment, A big blue annoying sign came up. “VMK Is closing in 10 minutes.” I turned to Junonia, “well, I guess I’ll see you later! You still have to help me in that one quest” “Haha Zackoid! You better go. Danger’s waiting for you”
With that, my friends stood back. I took the keybade out of my pocket and pointed it to the door. A bright light shone throughout the kingdom and broke through the locks that opened the door. I floated to the light. At that moment, I OPENED MY EYES!
I looked around. I was in my room and it was 10am in the morning. I was wondering, “Was that real? But boy! My head hurts!” I went to the kitchen grabbed two Advil Tablets and drank it down with some water. I sat down, ate my breakfast and got ready for my day. I guess it was all a dream. Funny thing, Everything I saw in real life looked almost like something in the kingdom. It would flash the kingdom then, disappear. I should get my eyes checked!
That’s what happens when you’re addicted to VMK!

When you’re in dark places, turn it on and it will light your way.” “Thank you Yeti! Stay cool now!” With that I put it in my pocket. He gives me 20 more munny to add to my collection! Ok 420 munny total. I’m down 60 more. After that, I met Junonia in the Dungeon. Maleficent was sort of in a good mood. She wasn’t burning any guys at the stake. I guess when someone takes a detour going down the ladder, that’s when she’ll fight back and light their fire.
”Who’s the creepy little mouse running around here?” Maleficent wonders. I reply, “Uh, there’s no mouse here. Hi! I’m zackoid!” “Oh, you. What do you want Zackoid” “You’re the last NPC I have to find.” “Oh, is that so? Who sent you on this crazy hunt?” “Umm, that would be Dangerzone. But please, don’t put him in any danger.” “Well well then zackoid, sticking up for your friends?” “Yes! I always do!” “In that case, to get your final NPC Credits, You have to battle against me in a Pirates Ship Battle! See if you and your friends can sink my ship. Bring it on Small fry!”
”What are we going to do Zackoid? I’ve never battled Maleficent!” Junonia asked. I Clicked on my buddy list and messaged Fairiesprite and Aficionada. I wrote “Hey! I really need your help! Meet me at Pirates of Caribbean dock and get ready to battle!” With that, me and Junonia jumped over to the Pirates of the Caribbean dock. We see the dragon knocking all the boats off the dock! “Oh, it’s getting crazy here Junonia! Let’s start the game before she takes over the entire land!” I clicked on Start game, Level Three and Ship Battle. I chose my ship.. and Junonia jumped on my side too. Maleficent herself took up for ships already on the Pirates side. I see Fish and Fairy rush to our side.. “Zackoid! What’s going on?” Fish asked. “Uhh, no time to explain. Just get on my side and kick some dragon ####!” Fairy joined as well as fish. Maleficent was ready! I didn’t even have to click when the game automatically started. When the black screen transported me to the game all I heard was “You’re going down Zackoid!”
So, the battle is on. We go on three rounds with Maleficent winning the first, and we won the last two. “WOOOT!!! WE WON!” With that win, I earned 154 credits! I showed Fairy my bag of munny. “Awesome! With that win, I earned 500 munny! And at the same time got the Last NPC and also joined in a Pirate ship Battle. !” “that’s great Zackoid! What else do you have to do to get back home?” I checked the message from Dangerzone. “Ok, I earned 500, found all the NPC’s and played in Pirates battle. All I have to do now is Find VMK_Hula and score high in fireworks! Well, at least 75,000” Fairy’s face lit up. “Hey, we’ll all join in the game of fireworks. Me and fish will find an open game and you and Junonia meet us there that good?” “yeah! I’ll meet you there!”
With that, I was stressing if I was able to get back home. I know it was passed midnight and I got all worried. Junonia saw the look on my face. She said that if it was time to go, a big blue box would appear and would say that it was closed. I put my munny bag back in my pocket. Before we left the dock, I saw a small pin with a note attached to it. It was from Maleficent! The note read “Zackoid, Great game in fireworks! Here’s a pin promised. Hope you’ll find your way back to where you have to go. ~Maleficent” Under it was the Bat Magic pin!! I was surprised!! YAY!!! Now I got something cool to wear and turn into! I turned around and the dock was filled with more people. I see someone there that’s got green ears! I went up to the person and it was Hula!! “Hello there Hula! I’m supposed to tell you that I’m ready for a game” “Oh, Hi there Zackoid! Yes, Dangerzone did inform me that you were to play a game. Unfortunately there isn’t one scheduled. But I can make up an easy game for you. How’s that?” I was excited.. “Sure hula! Just show me where to go and what to do!” “Ok. Well, follow me to the Fireworks Lobby. We’ll get things started there.” People were starting to bug Hula and at the moment, she jumped and went to the fireworks lobby.
”Ok Junonia. Let’s go! Fireworks here we come!” We jumped into the Room Fish and Fairy were in. Hula was there too. Thank goodness no one else was around. I went up to Hula, “Hula, these are my friends: Junonia, Aficionada and Fairiesprite. They’re here to Help me get home.” “Nice to meet you all! Ok, this is a group game. All is involved. You’ll all be playing fireworks. It says that Zackoid has to earn 75,000 or more right?” “Yup. That’s what’s written in here” Hula got out her nifty clipboard with a big blue button on the bottom. She explained more “We’ll make this game fun. To get 1,300 points, we all know that you should be Not in first but have a score over 240,000. Right? Well, this fireworks game will be played by the four of you with say, aficionada took the first level in fantasyland then fairy taking the next Junonia takes tomorrow land you will take frointierland and in the end, all of you will play Park View. Is that understandable?” we all say “YES!” Ok, Remember, a total score of 240,00 will get all of you a prize. Good Luck!” With that said, Hula pressed the big blue button and the PLAY FIREWORKS Button was initiated. We all touched the button and held hands. We were then transported in our gummi ship.
Aficionada got ready for his level. We all got strapped into our seats while Fish’s seat rotated to the font of the control panel. Hula’s voice was heard in the tiny ship, “Good Luck all! I know you’ve played a lot. It’s all the same with a few adjustments. Fish are you ready?” “YES!” He said excitedly. “Ok, here we go!” With that, the first level started. We’re all behind him in our seats cheering him on. “COME ON FISH! You can do it!” “FISH! FISH! GET SOME FLAWLESS!” “You can do it!!” I know he was concentrating hard. Aficionada got a score of 41,857. It was a good score! Fish was thrilled he did awesome. Our chairs then rotated and then Fairiesprite got ready. Level two Adventureland. She’s a pro at fireworks hitting all the stars on their dot. FLAWLESS Just shined on the windshield. I don’t know how she does it but she’s good! LOL! After round 2 she gets a score of 87.874. (fyi to readers.. this is just a dream not really the GAME!) Next up Junonia playing tomorrowland level 3. She too is a pro at fireworks. With her play, she got a total score of 100,032. Next up is me! Haha. I did my best with the fireworks. I should say, fantasyland is my favorite but, fish already did that. So, there I am..Kicking some fireworks bootie! I get mostly flawless but mixed into it there’s some GOOD and Awesome. In the end, our fourth level score was 187,906. It wasn’t the best. But I know we’ll make it over 240,000. So, in the last round of fireworks, the ship lined our seats together in front. I suggested that Junonia Fairy and I will take each stage with Fish catching all the fireworks that could be missed. I took on the first stage. Fish and I catching all the pyro with Flawlessness. Next Fairy and Fish take it on. Fairy took one side while fish took the other. I guess it works best with two pointers? Haha. Then lastly Junonia kicked butt catching the fireworks display at the end. All in all we got a total score of 247,585. We aimed for 240 and woot!!! We did it!! We cheered and hi fived everyone. Then we exited the gummi ship through the castle that was marked 2.
Hula Greeted us at the bottom of the stairs. “Great work everybody! With that, you each will get 1300 in points. You can do as you choose with your munny. A great team does fantastic together! Great job!” Dangerzone appeared and walked up to me. “Great Job Zacky! I knew you can do it!” “Thanks danger.” “Oh, I guess I should do this for you” He did his magic and a locked door appeared. Dangerzone explained, “With the keyblade, you’ll open the doors to the real world. You did a great job here in the Virtual Kingdom. You will be missed!” “Aww, don’t say that Dangerone! You’ll always see me!” Junonia fairie and fish all came up to me and gave me a hug. Fairy said “You’ll be missed. It was fun girl!” “thanks guys! Thanks for helping me in this journey. I better get back.” At that moment, A big blue annoying sign came up. “VMK Is closing in 10 minutes.” I turned to Junonia, “well, I guess I’ll see you later! You still have to help me in that one quest” “Haha Zackoid! You better go. Danger’s waiting for you”
With that, my friends stood back. I took the keybade out of my pocket and pointed it to the door. A bright light shone throughout the kingdom and broke through the locks that opened the door. I floated to the light. At that moment, I OPENED MY EYES!
I looked around. I was in my room and it was 10am in the morning. I was wondering, “Was that real? But boy! My head hurts!” I went to the kitchen grabbed two Advil Tablets and drank it down with some water. I sat down, ate my breakfast and got ready for my day. I guess it was all a dream. Funny thing, Everything I saw in real life looked almost like something in the kingdom. It would flash the kingdom then, disappear. I should get my eyes checked!
That’s what happens when you’re addicted to VMK!
