Chapter 1:

“Hello little one” a voice rang out from above. Bubbles was jolted from what felt like a very long nap. Dazed and confused, he quickly sat upright, and started looking around. where was that voice coming from? Am I dreaming? He thought. But as Bubbles looked around, where that voice was coming from became the last thing on his mind.

Tall white mountains as high as the eye could see, surrounded him. His eyes followed the edges up the mountain until he wasn’t looking at a mountain anymore. It was clouds! Some of the biggest, puffiest, clouds he has ever seen, just blended right in to the white mountain tops. And around him, balls… of… yarn? “Yarn…” he thought out loud. What is yarn? he continued to think. Well I should know what yarn is, I’m the one who thought of it. he commented to himself. The more he thought, the more confused and panicked he became. His mind started racing with unanswered questions.

Where am I? What’s my name? What… am I? And then he heard it again. “No need to fret, little one” However this just made him more anxious. You can hear my thoughts? Who are you? His conscious voice trembled. “I’m scared” Bubbles whimpered under his breath as he realized he knew nothing about the strange world he found himself in.

A third time the voice bellowed out, “patience, little one, patience” Bubbles lowered his head, attempting to place it back on the ground from which it came, he was met with another surprise, maybe the biggest one of all. Now speechless, in voice and thought, Bubbles just watched, and the ground below him got further and further away, as he floated just a little closer to the mountain tops he was admiring just a short time ago…
