Chapter 2 the beginning

Hello to all those who have seen this novel. I hope you like it, brothers and sisters out there. Please don't be shy and help out. Please do comment and help me make this as good as I know it can be.

I'm an idea guy, and while I think I can create a great skeleton for the story, I'm not so adept at the more detailed aspects, such as character interaction. If there's somebody out there who excels in that area, perhaps we could collaborate.

"As soon as I finish saying that, Susan and Mary had this look, it was unique—a mix of understanding and disbelief, pity for someone crazy and yet a fear for the possibility. Finally, I could see them going through their knowledge to try to explain what was happening.

While facing each other, they started some kind of 'twin talk.'

Mary: Maybe when we tried.

Susan: Or do you remember the project?

Mary: You mean, but what about the unavailability? What about...?

Susan and Mary: Of course! No, wait. Then maybe... Eureka! Not wait, it's only...

Lila was confused but still stood strong in front of her family and commanded.

-Take us back now!

Duke noticed that I was not aggressive and, while still watching for any sudden movements, stopped growling. Yet, that somehow seemed more dangerous.

Johnny noticed somehow his powers were not working, and then he seemed to realize something, or rather remember, so he stopped trying to use them and said.

Johnny: Like when we were searching for the perfect meatloaf.

As soon as he finished saying that, all eyes turned to him with what seemed like a mountain load of questions.

Mary and Susan: You mean that odd place?

Lila: What are you talking about, I wonder? (◕__◕✿) M

Johnny: Yep.

Mary and Susan: Of course, that explains some of it. Then what about the God?

i intercepted and said- Well, I believe that God is either a super strong being or an embodiment of a certain concept.

Lila: （－||－）AHEM.

Mary and Susan: What do you mean by a cartoon?"

As I was answering, I swear I saw Duke shivering and pulling Johnny away.

MC: Maybe our thoughts from my world made you real, or maybe the creator just so happens to have some connection to your world.

Mary and Susan: That kind of answer it, but what ab—

Lila: (╬ಠ′ಠ╬) Someone better answer ME RIGHT NOW!

At that moment, the somewhat chaotic atmosphere returned to a great chilling calm, and as we three slowly turned towards her, at the same time we said, while lowering our heads.

all—SORRY! (>_< )

Lila: Explain now!

While Mary and Susan are explaining everything they understood so far and maybe getting very heavily punished, which I don't know anything about because I am just a human-looking hanger (っ^з^)♪♬.

Duke and Johnny are slowly exploring the quality of the wood on the door and more; they were studying if it was a push or pull situation and nothing more! Honest! While they finally had their breakthrough in their observations, their mom suddenly appeared behind them after another round of what it looked like yelling to me a Normal human-looking furniture.

She turned towards me now, obviously as a human-looking object. I did the only sensible thing I could: I lowered my head, searching for the cartoon power deep inside me.

MC: (｡◕‿◕｡) I am innocent.

Lila: ｏ(*￣o￣)ｏ Give me a second.

And that I did.

Lila: Ok, I get the gist of it now. Can we get back home if we refused?

At an instant, I could see the Test kids trying to say something, and Lila gave them a menacing glare that silenced them instantly.

Lila: -`д´- AND if we want to stay, how can we be assured that you won't use us or that we won't betray you?

At that moment, the computer turned on and said,

TOTS: [AHEM, I think it is my turn now. Nice to meet you all, I am the embodiment of the power granted to my currently unnamed owner. You may call me TOTS.]

Lila: Nice to meet you.

TOTS: [Nice to meet you too, Miss Test. Now first, you were selected because it is unlikely you would refuse, especially considering what Hugh di-].

Lila: SHUT IT."

When she yelled, it was very odd, to say the least. I knew there was something from the very beginning, when he was not there and when she questioned me about him. The rage I saw in every Test and the sadness was something I never saw in all of their show. It was impactful and let me realize once again, these are real beings (well, at least as real as me).

Tots: [I am sorry, that was out of line. Well, that is the reason you were summoned. Yes, you may go back if you so wish. You would lose the memory of this event, and as compensation, I can move you out of Pork Belly.]

Lila: "Thank you."

Tots: [You are welcome, madam. Now, if you choose to stay, you could live a new life here. It would be a little lonely until my noob host gets more stuff, but it is a new start. If you do, you would become citizens of this realm, and while you would follow certain rules, he would too, and those rules would assure he won't act against you.]

MC: "I wouldn't, either way, and I am not a noob."

Tots: [Shut up, you noob. You said you are one, so you are, and this is for now out of your league, so quit.]

MC: "(^^)"

Tots: ["Now, as I was saying, or you can go with him to the new world. There, you would sign a pact where you would do your best to help him. He would not betray you or take advantage of you. Now, I know this is unequal, but you are being given the opportunity, not him]."

Then there was silence, or rather audible silence, but Tots and Lila competed to see who blinked first, which finally Lila did.(for a second there i was worried tots a digital image was gonna lose, how i don't know)

Lila: [I see. Let me speak with my family in private.]

As soon as she said it, I found myself outside, unable to hear anything.

Tots: [I understand, privacy is important.]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------lila POV:

Lila: "Now, kids and Duke, what do you want to do? I will decide based on that."

Test kids and Duke: "We don't want to go back!"

Lila: "I figured so. Option one is out, for now. What about the others?"

Duke: "Ma'am, I WILL PROTECT our family either way."

As he swore, maybe to himself rather than us, I gave him some scratches. Not enough, I know, but as a member of our family, I want him happy.

Johnny: "I feel like it would be fun either way, but in the second, no school for a while, so that sounds better ʅ（´◔౪◔）ʃ."

Lila: "So Johnny does not have an opinion. Susan, Mary?"

Susan And Mary: "the second one after all the scientific possibility of magic or explaining the magic."

Lila: "I see. Now then, let me ask you, do you truly understand what you are saying? In option one, it is where our home used to be, where our friends used to be. Is that truly something you won't regret or look back to? The second option would make us basically the founders of a new town, and it will be hard and lonely at the beginning. And Johnny, in some way or another, you will learn."

Johnny: "But mooomm."

Lila: "Let me finish, and for the third, we would become followers. While we would have some protection, we will be under one person in manner akin to nothing like you have experienced before. Is that okay with you, my babies?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a deafening silence:

Duke: I don't know, but I know we can't gain happiness again in Pork Belly!

Johnny: I don't want to go back there. I want to move forward and experience new things, AND NO SCHOOL!

Mary: I don't want to be on the same planet as THEM, i would love to study magic.

Susan: I'm going to miss Bling Boy, but I also don't want to go back, and the possibilities are honestly exciting.

Lily: Okay, kids, but that still does not answer my question: would you be okay with being under someone?

Duke: I feel like if we are together, we are going to be okay.

Johnny: I'd rather go to the new world, and I feel like I can trust him.

Susan: Logically, we would not be slaves but rather helpers, and I would like to explore new frontiers.

Mary: And I am sure that we would not have to do anything we don't want to, and I love magic.

Lila: So, my beautiful family, are you okay with a new adventure together?

Test: Yes!

As soon as we decided, we called TOTS and signed the agreement. It was surprisingly loose, but it boiled down to no negative actions towards each other. There would be a warning if we do, and if we keep doing so, we would be temporarily banished to this area. Then, if we persist, permanent expulsion. We must do our utmost to help him, as long as it is not in a negative way towards us.

MC: Now finally, that is done. now For introductions, I suffered some damage, and now I can't remember much about my last life, but you were my favorite cartoon, that I know.

After that, we took a turn introducing each other, and I tried to ask for more detail about Hugh, but they avoided it. I hope we can trust each other enough that they will tell me what happened. There were a lot of questions about their cartoon. I tried to only say certain parts, but I slipped up once or twice and spoke about some of their more daring adventures, and I reverted to human-looking counter, while she seemed to punish, SORRY, I MEAN, EDUCATE her kids. When we finished doing it, an annoying voice appeared:

[CONGRATS FOR COMPLETING THE MISSION. GET SUMMONS :]

[PASSAGE TO TUTORIAL WORLD HARRY POTTER]

[STARTING IN 60 MINUTES]

Immediately after, there were some cheers from everyone, except Johnny, who had a face that looked like he had given up all hope. Turns out he was still hoping for no school. Oh well. Hogwarts here we go
