one- What happened to me?
Emerald was quietly snoozing in her bed when something wet and slimy touched her. She tiredly opened an eye, and she saw a black thing, some sort of octopus, she thought, and the octopus thing carried her to a portal that was like a black hole. She was fully awake by this moment, and she was sucked in the hole.

The next day, she opened her eyes. “Where am I?” she asked herself. “Am I dead?”

She finally figured out that she wasn't dead. She was very sad about being here. In fact, she cried. She cried so loud. "Where is my family?" she cried loudly. "Can someone help me?"

Emerald looked, trying to find any sign of life around here. She saw a bunny, a panda, a tiger, a wolf, a monkey, and a koala go out of a green portal. "Hey, over here!" she called out to them. The panda approached her.

"Take my hand," she said softly. Emerald took her hand. "I'll show you around."

For the rest of the morning, the panda showed Emerald around. The panda talked about the lands. She said to Emerald, "This place is known as Jamaa. Jamaa is a land, and a sea, that is taken over by animals. We call this place, sometimes, animal jam." Jamaa seemed like a great place to Emerald. "When are we getting to Jamaa?" Emerald asked. "Oh, you're already there." the panda responded.

"Well then, I love Jamaa!" Emerald said. "Yes, love it. Jamaa's an amazing place. It's full of secrets." the panda said.

Emerald looked the panda in the eye. "Secrets?" she said, confused. "Like what secrets?" Emerald was waiting for an answer. "If I told you, they wouldn't be secrets anymore, wouldn't they?" the panda responded. Emerald nodded.

"Hey, I didn't even catch your name, so rude of me! My name's Liza, whats yours?" the panda, Liza, asked Emerald this question. "Name's Emerald," Emerald responded. "I'm from Earth."

"Earth, I see. Did the phantoms take you to Jamaa?" Liza queried.

"No, but these octopus-things did." Emerald responded.

"Those are the phantoms, Emerald." Liza said.

"Oh," Emerald replied.

Liza took Emerald to a portal and said, "This is your den."

"The portal is my den?" questioned Emerald. "What's a den?"

"One, jump through the portal. It is your den. Your den is inside the portal. Two, your den is where you live." Liza said. Emerald nodded. Then a hand crawled through the den portal.

"What is ''that?" ''said Emerald, about to throw up.

"Oh, that's just Bob," Liza said. "He's very nice. He apparently likes to crawl around in jammer's dens."

Emerald shivered. "Thanks for showing me around, Liza, but I want to go to my den now. See you!"

Liza waved goodbye to her, and Emerald noticed a tear form in her eye. Emerald formed a tear in her eye too, and they both quietly said, "I miss you."

Emerald sadly went through the portal, until Liza couldn't be seen. Then she was taken to a house, this is my den, though, Emerald thought.

The bunny she had seen before came to her and said, "This, right here, is your den. You can edit it. Try editing it." Emerald did. "Great, now click the X button and close out of editing."

Emerald saw an X button randomly pop up and an arrow was pointing to it. She clicked on the X button. She decided to sleep, so she slept.

The next day she woke up.

She decided to click on the 'world map', located on the bottom-right corner of the game.

She clicked 'Jamaa Township'. She was transported to a place with lots of commotion, so much that it hurt her ears. "Ugh, that ''noise!" ''she said. "Make it stop!"

She finally decided to go to another place on the map. Coral Canyons.

Here, was waiting the wolf.

"Hello," the wolf said in a low voice.

"Hi," responded Emerald. "What's cooking?"

"Nothing is cooking," responded the wolf. "Animals don't know how to cook."

Emerald backed away from the wolf. She ran up the steps. She saw the beautiful nature that surrounded her until she came to lots of jammers jumping on the bridge.

"THE BRIDGE WILL BREAK!!!!!!" said one wolf.

"IT'S ONLY AN MYTH!!!!" said another wolf.

She decided to jump on the bridge. She didn't say anything. She didn't want to be mean to anyone.

Finally, she said, "I need someone to show me around Jamaa."

She exited the crowd, and so did a wolf, with the Animal Jam boy eyes.

"Come with me," he said mysteriously. Emerald nodded her head.

"First stop, Epic Wonders," the wolf said.

two- Epic
The two went down the stairway, Emerald behind this jammer she'd never met before but still trusted. Suddenly the wolf stopped at a waterfall. "Here," the wolf said, looking north.

"There's nothing there," said Emerald. "It's just....... water."

"Right there you are WRONG!" the wolf said. "Here is Epic Wonders, it's a really great place for jammers to go when they want to buy something that looks cool."

The wolf and Emerald looked at each other, then the wolf looked away.

"Here, follow me into Epic Wonders," said the wolf.

Emerald took a small step into the water.

"YOW! IT'S COLD!!!" she said, backing away from the water. "Why would I want to touch that?"

The wolf replied to her, "Epic wonders is a wonderful experience. It's so cool once you uncover it. You should really check it out. It has so many cool things on sale!!" he jumped for joy.

Emerald took another step in the water. And then she ran fast. She couldn't feel the coldness, she'd probably freeze to death. At least, that's what she thought.

When she finally made it, she saw a door. This door probably leads to Epic Wonders, she thought, entering Epic Wonders. ''Hey, this place ain't so bad! ''she thought. She thought it would be slimy, somewhere where FEAR was existing. This feeling is called Uncanny.

The wolf followed her into Epic Wonders. "So, do you like this place or not?" he asked.

"Like this place? No way! I love this place!" she said, smiling really bright. "I should probably buy something here!"

She decided to buy a silver glove, 'because it looked cool'. She wore it and commented:

"I love this silver glove!"

The wolf suddenly started to yank her out of Epic Wonders. "If, we don't, (pant), get out of here, (pant) we'll, (pant) be forced, (pant) to stay here, (pant) FOREVER!"

"Forever?" she said in disbelief. "Forever? FOREVER? Why forever?"

The wolf replied, "Just come with me."

Emerald came with the wolf back to Coral Canyons. "That was exciting!" she said. "Will we go again?"

The wolf shook his head no. He couldn't talk anymore. He was getting tired of talking. He started fading and soon, he faded away.

Emerald got out a notebook from her pocket and also a pen. She wrote down, 'Find out who wolf-guy is.' She then put down her notebook and started searching for a home. HER home.

three- home
Emerald ran fast, faster, faster, faster by every stride. She smiled, but she had to rush down QUICK. She ran to the portal to her den, but she didn't know where it was. She had only started there. She tried to remember the terrain she was in, but she couldn't, she was too filled up with questions about that wolf. That one mysterious wolf.

Then suddenly, halfway through her run, she remembered something-

the panda, Liza, was her ''friend. ''She was on her side. All she had to do was find her.

But then she remembered something else.

She didn't know where Liza was. And she didn't need any more extra exercise, her legs already hurt. They felt painful from walking too much.

She tried walking the other way- to an unknown place no jammer has ever been before. Jammers didn't DARE to enter there. Not at all. Their friends have heard rumors going around that if you went there, you would die INSTANTLY.

Of course, Emerald didn't know that. Emerald didn't know that because she was a newcomer. So she ran the way to the unknown place.

~***~

When she came to the unknown place, her legs were sore from running and she thought they would collapse at any second. She had been running for two straight hours without stopping. Her whole body hurt too. She wanted to rest down on a rock, but there were no rocks to sit on.

She decided to sit down on the grass, which wasn't even grass, but she couldn't tell because the place was very dark. Barely even enough light to actually see the background. Or at least PART of it. She thought she felt a spider for a millisecond, but that was not true.

Later, she felt a voice softly sing;

"O'er the land of Jamaa"

"To the unknown place,"

"It is an incredible journey,"

"But everyone leaves a trace."

then the light got brighter, showing 100 different names carved into the floor for a minute, then the light dimming. The song resumed:

"O'er the land of Jamaa"

"To here, the unknown place,"

"It's an incredible journey,"

"To the Jammer race."

Emerald quietly hummed the melody.

"O'er the land of the unknown place"

"To the land of Jamaa"

"It's a wonderful journey,"

"At the end, you see wonderful llamas,"

"Again."

"Again."

"Again."

"Again."

Then the voice stopped. Emerald then heard crying. Emerald came over to the sound of the crying.

It was getting louder,

and louder,

and louder,

and louder.

Finally, she bumped into something and fell down.

*** 15 minutes later because she was knocked out***

"Hello? Who are you?" asked the soft voice.

"My name is Emerald, what's yours?" replied Emerald.

"My name is Emma."

They both smiled happily.

"I thought I was the only one here!" they both said at the same time.

"Did I scare you?" asked Emma.

"Actually, you kind of did," replied Emerald. "Can you show me to my hou- whoops, I mean den?"

Emma replied, "Follow me to your den."

Emerald hesitated. "I've already walked too many miles to get here, can you carry me?"

Emma nodded as Emerald jumped on her back. Emerald slowly went to sleep as Emma took her to her den.

*** One and a half hours Later....***

When they finally arrived, Emerald asked, "Where is my bed?" to which she replied, "How did that get past the chat filter? And just generate it!"

Emerald generated a queen-sized bed with blankets and all that fancy stuff and slept a good long sleep while Emma left the room, quietly saying, "Goodnight."

four- dreams
While Emerald slept, she was dreaming about something.

She was in her house.

Her mom and dad hugged her as they left the room.

An hour later, she exited the door to her bedroom, but the door was locked.

She turned behind her, and there was a phantom, holding a trash bag over her head.....

and she woke up.

"Thank goodness it was just a dream," she said, going back to sleep.

Her nightmare continued.

She was being carried by the phantom, towards the Phantom Land. She could barely breathe in the trash bag, but the phantom punched holes so she wouldn't die.

When she finally arrived, there was a big palace, and the phantom said, "Xusjdf jhrughk honjo."

"Gowt 'hajksim' aru u?" said the voice from the other end.

"Version 23," said the phantom, speaking English. Or was it just that she could barely hear?

"Come on in," the voice from the other end said.

The phantom entered the palace, going through what seemed like 54 rooms until the phantom finally came to a stop.

It was a phantom dungeon. She was taken out of the bag and thrown into the dungeon. It was a dark dungeon.

Suddenly the lights turned on.

"Welcome to your doom." said the voice.

"My do-" said Emerald, but she was quickly hushed.

"No worries," said the voice, "you'll just be hanged and die. Sound good?"

Emerald nodded her head. It was her only choice.

Someone picked her up and went to some chains. Emerald was pushed through the chains. Gosh, I can't believe these chains fit me, she thought.

15 minutes later... she couldn't breathe.

And then,

and then,

and then,

she woke up.

"GAH!!!! THAT WAS A HORRIBLE DREAM!!!" she yelled as she jumped out of her bed. It was in the middle of the night, but Emerald didn't notice until she went outside to pick apples. She was getting hungry.

While she was picking apples, she thought she heard a noise.

It sounded like her stomach. And it was her stomach. She got a ripe apple from the tree and crunched on it. It tasted very tasty.

She went back through the portal and jumped into her queen-sized bed, dreaming about apples and oranges.

And no phantoms.

five- school, what?
Emerald's slumber was disturbed by a voice. "Wake up, sleepyhead." The voice sounded familiar.

Emerald slowly opened her eyes. It was Emma!

"Why hello there, Emma!" said Emerald delightfully. "How are you?"

"I'm fine, I decided to come here because you need to go to school," Emma replied.

"WHAT???!?!???!??!?????!?!??!??" said Emerald, shocked. "Yeah, school," Emma replied to her. "Here, I'll get you changed, and we'll go to school. I'll show you where the school is.

"I am just surprised we go to school here," Emerald said. "I thought we would never ever go to school here, and guess what? School just jumps at me." Emma nodded. "Yes, but just get changed. I'll show you where your school is." Emma helped Emerald out of bed and got her changed and ready for school.

~***~

When Emerald finally arrived at school, she was surprised. It looked like it was old. "This is school," Emma said, leading her in.

Emerald walked into her classroom that Emma assigned her. Here was a nice, smiling teacher. She sat next to someone named Mike and someone named Andy. Mike was whispering curses to Andy. It was very loud in there.

The teacher hammered her desk. "EVERYONE IN THEIR SEATS!!!!!!!!!"

The class was in ship-shape, nothing was out of place and everything was sorted neatly into piles.

"Now," said the teacher, "today we are going to learn about phantoms. Does anyone know what a phantom is?"

Emerald raised her hand.

"Yes?"

"Phantoms pollute everything in sight."

"Good, good, what's your name?"

"Emerald, ma'am.

"OK, Emerald."

The class was silent for a moment. Then the teacher resumed;

"Phantoms pollute Jamaa, let's all get a tree from my closet, and we'll plant them! Deal?"

"Yes, ma'am," said the classroom. Even Emerald was suddenly saying it.

Mind control, she thought. All the classmates, even me, are mind controlled.

Suddenly, the teacher banged on her desk. "EMERALD!" she yelled. "GRAB A TREE AND GET RIGHT IN LINE WITH THE OTHER CLASSMATES!" Emerald did what she was told. Everyone starting moving to the playground, and this is what the teacher said;

"EVERYONE PUT YOUR TREE IN THE DESIRED SPOT!"

''Gosh, what is wrong with this lady? ''thought Emerald. She's always yelling all the time.

"EMERALD!!!" said the teacher. "PLANT YOUR TREE IN THE DESIRED SPOT RIGHT NOW!!!" Emerald planted her tree in her desired spot, right next to Mike and Andy's.

"EVERYONE LINE UP!!!" yelled the teacher. Everyone lined up from A to Z. She was nowhere NEAR Mike or Andy.

Everyone slowly went to the classroom. "Now everyone, please wash your hands," said the teacher calmly. Everyone washed their hands, one by one.

"Why is the teacher acting nice to us now?" whispered Emerald to Andy.

"Not sure," he replied.

Emerald asked the same question to Mike, and he responded;

"She might be an alien from outer space, trying to get our DNA and locating where we live, and making us turn into alien servants. Alien servants are cool, but NOT when it's me." Emerald nodded. "Yes, that makes a lot of sense, why didn't Andy respond the same way?"

"He never asked."

"Oh, OK."

The teacher heard Mike and Emerald talking to each other. "MIKE, EMERALD, TO THE OFFICE!!!" she yelled at them both. "Yes, ma'am," they both responded, not knowing why they said that.

"See? Mind control, alien." Mike whispered to Emerald.

"Alien, taking over Earth," she muttered.

"Earth? What's Earth?" Mike queried.

"It's where I came from," Emerald said. "Where did YOU come from?"

"Jamaa, my mom's belly, ain't it obvious?" Mike said, going faster.

~***~

When they both finally arrived at the principal's office, her class was over. They both left their backpacks at their homeroom. They didn't have any time to get it, so they just left it there.

Emerald took the bus and quietly hummed a song to the ride to her portal where her den was.

~***~

When she arrived at her den, Emma was still there. "Did you enjoy school?" she asked. "No," Emerald replied, slamming herself on her bed. "Good, because that's the only day you'll be going to school," Emma said to Emerald. "I am going back to the place where no jammer has ever gone to, but you have." Emma exited the den. Emerald waved goodbye.

She generated a bathroom, a toothbrush, toothpaste, a kitchen, a laptop, and a TV.

She brushed her teeth and went to sleep.

chapter six- a day of boringness
It was a Saturday. Emerald got up, made herself breakfast, and then watched TV on the couch. When she was done with her breakfast, she threw the bowl outside and it crashed with a BANG!

Emerald was all by herself. No brother to play with her, no mother to cook food for her (Emerald doesn't know how to cook), no dad, not even a pet. She slumped in her chair. She looked at the Mona Liza picture Fireblaze gave to her many months ago. It was a gift. Emerald smiled at the Mona Liza and turned on the TV. There was Brady Barr, Tierney, and Gabby.

Emerald turned off the TV. She wasn't in the mood to watch educational channels.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Ring-a-ding-a-ding! Emerald opened the door.

"Hey, Emerald!" Emma said cheerfully as she skipped into the living room.

"Hey, Emma!" Emerald replied as she spun around in one of the chairs.

Emma unrolled a map and said to Emerald, "Wanna find the lost treasure of Zios?" but Emerald denied.

"I don't feel like finding a secret treasure today," said Emerald, still spinning around in the chair.

Emma frowned, rolled up the map, and left her house. Emerald felt bad for Emma. Emerald just wanted a quick break from adventuring and stuff.

Emerald turned on the TV, and started watching some Brady Barr. Then she realized there was more channels! Aparri, Julian2, and other AJ YouTubers were on air. She clicked 'Julian2' and watched some of his videos.

When she finally got bored of watching Julian2 (a few hours before she started), she jumped out of the couch. It was raining, and the shattered pieces of the plate were still there. Emerald didn't want to go outside, it was raining, so she brgan looking for her phone, but suddenly she remembered-

She couldn't have brung her phone when she was in bed! She was full of tears in a split second. She wanted to at least conact her brother- he bothered her sometimes, but she still loved him- and talk to him.

She decided to end this boring day by sleeping for the rest of the day. She wore her pajamas for the whole day, and she, of course, brushed her teeth, before she slept.

Chapter seven- find out who wolf-guy is
When Emerald woke up the next morning, she was in her bed with her family. "Sweetie, you've been gone for so long," said her mother. "Yeah, sis, why?" queried her brother.

Emerald hugged her family. "I was in Jamaa!" she said, squeezing hard.

"Jamaa? What's that?" all her family members asked.

Well, except her brother, of course. "I know what Jamaa is," he said. "Jamaa is a place in a virtual game. The game is called Animal Jam."

Her parents were familiar with the words Animal and Jam put together in the same sentence. Emerald and her brother had been asking for membership for Christmas that year.

Suddenly Emerald woke up.

"That was all just a dream!" she wailed. "It felt so real!"

She got up on the right side of the bed, but it seemed like she hot up on the wrong side. Emerald decided to check her pocket- and even though she'd been wearing different clothes- her notebook was still there! She flipped through the pages, flippity-flip-flip. Finally she stopped on the note called 'find out who wolf-guy is. She decided today was the day to find out who the wolf guy was. She put her notebook back in her pocket.

Emerald scurried to Coral Canyons. When she finally arrived, the wolf was there. Emerald approached the wolf and said,

"Hello, sir, what might be your name?"

the wolf responded:

"My name? It's Jason."

"Jason? That's an interesting name," Emerald said, picking up her nothe ok and scribbling off 'find out who wolf-guy is.' and smiled. She went back to her portal. Emma was there to greet her.

"Hi," said Emma.

"Hello," Emerald replied. "How was your day?"

Emma didn't answer her question. "Now, don't groan Emerald,"—she groaned anyway even though she didn't know what she was groaning at—"But can you go back to the place no other jammer has gone but you? Thanks so much, I'm trying to make jammers go there, and I think you can help." Emerald smiled while saying, "Sure!"

Chapter eight- Science
Emerald forgot where the place no jammer was gone before, she hadn't been there for a long time. Emma finally showed her, and Emerald said, "Oh! I remember now!" and rushed the rest of the way.

-***-

When she arrived there, a song was being sung. It echoed across the place, and it was coming form all directions. It was a boy voice.

"All my friends are heathens, take it slow"

"Wait for them to ask you who you know"

"Please don't make any sudden moves,"

"You don't know the half of the abuse"

Emerald got her phone out of her pocket and held the home button. Emerald said in the phone,

"What's this song?"

And Siri listened to the song.

"Welcome to the room of people"

"Who have rooms of people that they loved one day"

"Docked away"

Siri recognized this song. "I believe this is Heathens by Twenty Øne Piløts." Siri said in her robotic voice.

"Heathens, that also rings a bell, like Jamaa rings a bell," Emerald said. Suddenly, a hypnotized Emma came through one of the bushes.

"Welcome to the room of people

Who have rooms of people that they loved one day

Docked away," she sang.

Suddenly more hypnotized jammers came out of the bushes in all directions. They all sang at the same time,

"All my friends are heathens, take it slow

Wait for them to ask you who you know

Please don't make any sudden moves

You don't know the half of the abuse," they sang.

Then it sounded like a frog was croaking. The hypnotized jammers then came so close to her, and carried her away. They went somewhere, but Emerald didn't know where, because, she was looking at the sky.

-***-

When they finally arrived, the first thing Emerald saw was a dungeon and lots and lots of chains.

Each pair of chains had a name carved between them. Between one chain was the name 'Snowy Magicheart'. Emerald shivered.

"Choose a chain, any chain," one hypnotized jammer said.

Emerald ran away as quickly as she could before anyone could catch her, her paws in her face. When she finally arrived back at her den, Emma, not hypnotized, was there.

"APRIL FOOLS!!!" she yelled.

"April Fools?" Emerald replied. She didnt know what day it was.

"Well, it is April 1st," Emma said. "I made robots of jammers and stuff. It's really amazing."

Emerald removed her paws from her face. She went to the kitchen and baked a pie, putting it in Emma's face.

"April Pies!!!!" Emerald yelled, running to her bed and jumping on it. She went to sleep.
