Chapter Text
“Who’s that?” Stanley asked, tapping Stanford’s arm and pointing at a woman with ginger hair tied up into a ponytail, fair skin and yellow eyes. She wore a red dress with a yellow pendant peaking out from its hem on her chest, she also wore large yellow earrings that matched the pendant. “Not sure.. Why are her ears are pointy” Stanford pointed out curiously, pushing his glasses up his nose and pointing at the pointy ears that were barely visible from under the red hood she wore, same colour as her dress. Stanley whistled “She’s pretty-“ but was cut off by stanford hitting his shoulder “Ow! What, sixer?” Stanley asked a bit too loud, causing stanford Ho shush him “She’s going through some sort of door” he pointed out “wow not like everyone does that, poindexter” Stanley mocked “no look it just came out of her bag” “let’s follow her!” Stanley suggested, dragging Stanford by his wrist.
The woman’s heels clicked through the portal as she took out a small wooden owl that morphed into a stick? looking thing with the owl on top. She stepped through the portal, followed closely by Stanley and Stanford.
Stanley, holding Stanford tightly by the wrist, followed the woman from a safe distance, Stanford scanning the area curiously, there were so many weird looking creatures that piqued his interest. Stanford stopped, crouching down to examine a smaller creature, some sort of mushroom with hands and legs and each of its white spots were eyes “fascinating” Stanford muttered, taking out his journal and begining to sketch the creature “poindexter” Stanley chastised, slapping his shoulder “come on, we’re gonna lose her” he said, tugging his brothers wrist. Stanford picked his journal up and followed along, his six fingers gripping the journal safe to his side.
“Don’t be so reckless!” Stanford scolded as he was tugged at by Stanley, stumbling clumsily after his brother. “You said we’d explore mysteries! This is a massive mystery! Look around Stanford!” Stanley excitedly gestured around the two “There’s so much weird crap! Come on you love this shit”
Just then a small, pink, winged creature flew up to the two, seemingly a fairy “look at this lil guy” Stanley said, pointing at it before the creature snapped it’s jaw shut, bearing it’s large teeth to him “I’ll eat you! Freak!” it shouted, to which it was swatted away by Stanford. “See?” Stanley said with a smirk “Stanley, this is seriously dangerous!” Stanford said, yet the hint of excitement in his tone betrayed his serious expression and words.
“Fine, fine” Stanley said in defeat, waving his hand at Stanford “just come on, the ladies getting away and she’s probably our only explanation as to where the fuck we are”
So the two followed the mysterious ginger woman as she walked off through the dark alleyways, avoiding the bustling town, the two boy’s secretively following her as they looked at the world around them in awe.
