	"Before we talk any further, lets sit down at the wooden table", Ivan Bunny said.
Then, Ivan Bunny walked over and sat at a small wooden table near the northeast
corner where the bookshelf is. The table was at least nine feet away from
the bookshelf and next to the west wall. It was small and had four wooden
chairs on all sides with four other chairs nearby. We walked over to the
table to sit down, but saw that there was not enough chairs for everyone.
When Ivan Bunny noticed that there was not enough chairs, he got up and
went to where he had about eight extra wooden chairs and brought over four
chairs. While Ivan Bunny was getting the chairs, Edmond Bunny put down
the sack of 200 Tennis Balls he was carrying. Then, he placed them down
and he sat down. We sat down and Ivan Bunny said looking sad, "I'm sorry,
but I don't know where Babs Bunny is being held captured". Then, Ivan Bunny
brightened up and continued, "You can follow these corridors and they may
take you somewhere." "But, before we go, Ivan Bunny, what is up those stairs
to the left of the doorway we came in here from?" "That goes up to the
inside of the trunk of a tree. Let me show you.", replied Ivan Bunny. Then,
we got up and headed for the stairs.
	 Looking at the stairs more closer, I saw that they went up in a spiral
instead of straight. We followed the stairs upward until we saw some daylight.
Then, I noticed that we came up inside of a tree with a fat trunk. It appeared
to be the oak tree in my backyard because it was the only tree in my backyard that had a
trunk that was almost four feet wide. "Erik, take a look out through here.",
said Ivan Bunny. Then, Ivan Bunny opened a small door inward that appeared
to be a knot on the tree where a branch may have been. I looked through
the opening and saw my house and the picket fence surrounding my yard.
Suddenly, I noticed someone dressed in dark clothes, with two other shorter
guys dressed in gray instead of dark clothes heading toward the back door.
Then, I realized that the back door wasn't locked. I said, "We better get
going and continue our search to find and rescue the others". "Good thing
I closed the secret door to your basement, Erik", said Ivan Bunny. Then,
we started back down the stairs to the large room.
	Meanwhile, at the back door of Erik's house, the guy dressed in dark
clothes said to his companions dressed in gray, "Soldiers, lets get those
characters to the van and back to Toon Master." Then, one of the soldiers
dressed in gray said, Yes, Officer Dave. Then, they went to the door and
knocked. Since no one answered the door, the other soldier exclaimed,
"Why don't we just go in, Sir!". "Yes, the order was to bring the characters
back to Toon Master." They tried the door, and the door opened. Then, they
went inside and Officer Dave said, "Lets check this place from top to bottom.
The tracking device shows that the characters are somewhere in this house."
"Yes, Sir!", the soldiers said. They went up to the attic and searched it. But,
they didn't find any of the characters. Then, they came back down to the second
floor and searched the three bedrooms and the rest of the second floor. Still, they
didn't find any of the characters. Little did they know that the tracker
that was on Buster Bunny fell off and was kicked under Erik's bed. Then,
they went downstairs to the first floor and searched the Living Room, Dinning
Room, Kitchen, and the rest of the first floor. But, still did not find
any of the characters. Then, Officer Dave said, "Lets check the basement,
they have to be down there." They went downstairs into the basement and
searched around. But, they didn't find any of the characters. Suddenly,
Officer Dave said, "What? This piece of junk, it shows that the characters
are here. But, we didn't find them in this house. I'm getting rid of the
piece of junk." And, then he shut off the tracking device and threw it
into Erik's toy box with the other stuff. Then, Officer Dave said, "Lets
go back to Toon Master and tell him that the tracking device he gave us
was broken." They went back upstairs and out the back door. Officer Dave
said, "Don't forget to close the back door. We don't want anyone to know
that someone was in the house. Then, one of the soldiers closed the door
and they left.
	Back with me, we came back into the large room. I said, "We better
continue our search if we are going to ever find and free the other characters.
Then, Ivan Bunny said, "I am a peace loving bunny. I have to stay here and
watch Lizi Bunny because for some reason I fear for her." "Okay, does anyone
else want to stay behind with Ivan Bunny?", I asked. "Yes, I would like to stay
with Ivan Bunny in this big room, I'm not up for traveling.", replied Hamton Pig.
"Okay, you can stay here Hamton Pig, and we'll be back", I said. Then, Ivan
Bunny came over and said, "I will open the doors for you and give you my spare
gray key." Ivan Bunny went over to the door and unlocked it. Then, he went
to the next door and opened it. He came back and gave me the spare gray
key and said, "Lock the doors on your way out so I know that I'm safe".
"Sure", I said. Then, I went towards the door and Buster Bunny, Plucky
Duck, Erik Mouse, Jeffrey Mouse, Furrball Cat, and Ryan Coyote followed.
Then, Edmond Bunny picked up the sack of 200 Tennis Balls and followed.
I went out the door, and as soon as all the characters that were going
with me came through the door to join me, I closed and locked the door.
Then, it got dark in the room, so I turned on my flashlight.
	We went out into the hallway and I closed and locked the door after
everyone was out. Then, Buster Bunny turned on his flashlight. I looked to
the left down the hallway and saw another gray steel door on the right side
of the hallway. Then, I went over to the door and shone my flashlight through
the window into the room on the other side of the door. And, I saw that there
is a small wooden box in the room, just like the one that we found Tennis Balls
in. So, I unlocked and opened the door. I said, "Edmond Bunny, how many more
Tennis Balls do you think the sack can hold?". I think maybe 300 more", Edmond
Bunny replied. "Would you come with me, please?", I asked. "Sure", said
Edmond Bunny. Then he came over to me, saw the small wooden box, and said,
"Oh, that's why you needed me. I see that we found some more Tennis Balls".
Then, Edmond Bunny and I went over to the small wooden box. When we got
closer to the wooden box, I saw that it had the number '200' carved in
front of it like the other small wooden box that we found. The wooden box
was the same size as the other one as well. Then, I opened the box and
saw that it had Tennis Balls in it. The Tennis Balls appeared to be a yellowish
color with no symbols on them. Remembering the number that I saw on the
side of the box, I said, "I think that there are 200 Tennis Balls in this
wooden box because the number on the side of the box must stand for 200
Tennis Balls". Then, Edmond Bunny said, "I'll put the Tennis Balls into
the sack with the other Tennis Balls". He started to put the Tennis Balls
into the sack. After he put all the Tennis Balls into the sack, he closed
the now empty wooden box. "Erik, the sack now has 400 Tennis Balls in it
and I'll still carry it for you", said Edmond Bunny. Then, I said "Lets
go!" Edmond Bunny and I left the room and I closed and locked the door.
	Then, Edmond Bunny and I rejoined with the rest of the characters that
were going with me. We turned around and I started down the hall while the
characters followed me close behind. We followed the hallway until we came
to a split where you can go right or straight. I shone my flashlight straight and
saw a small wooden box that we already emptied before. "We already checked
out that wooden box when we first came through here", I said. Then, we went
to the right and I shone my flashlight straight ahead. And, I saw the stone stairs going
up and remembered that was the way we came down here. Then, we went straight
until we came to a split where you can go straight, left, or right. Then,
I decided to shine my flashlight to the left. I saw that it was a dead
end now after we took the treasure chest that was there. "Lets go to the
right since we didn't go that way", I said. Then, we went to the right
and followed the hallway until we came to where the hallway suddenly turned
left. We went left and saw stone stairs going down. Looking down the stairs,
we saw that there was light down there by ever burning torches. Then, we
went down the stairs and came to another turn that went to the right. Before
we went to the right, Buster Bunny and I turned off our flashlights. After
Buster Bunny and I turned off our flashlights, we went to the right.
	As we started down the hall, we saw a gray steel door with a barred
window. I went to the steel door, looked in, and saw a small wooden box
in the room on the other side of the door. Then, I said to Edmond Bunny,
"I think you might have room for 100 more Tennis Balls in the sack that you
are carrying. Lets open the small wooden box I see in this room." "Sure",
said Edmond Bunny. Then, I unlocked and opened the door. Edmond Bunny
and I went into the room and over to the small wooden box. When we got
closer to the wooden box, I saw that it had the number '100' carved in front
of it like the other small wooden box that we found. The wooden box was
the same size as the other ones as well. Then, I opened the box and saw that
it had Tennis Balls in it. The Tennis Balls appeared to be a yellowish color
with no symbols on them. Remembering the number that I saw on the side
of the box, I said, "I think that there are 100 Tennis Balls in this wooden box
because the number on the side of the box must stand for 100 Tennis Balls".
Then, Edmond Bunny said, "I'll put the Tennis Balls into the sack with the
other Tennis Balls". He started to put the Tennis Balls into the sack. After he
put all the Tennis Balls into the sack, he closed the now empty wooden box.
"Erik, the sack is now full and I'll still carry it for you", said Edmond Bunny.
Then, I said "Lets go!" Edmond Bunny and I left the room and I closed and
locked the door.
	 We met with the rest of the characters and we continued down the hall.
We followed the hall until we came to a split where you can go right or straight.
I looked straight and saw a red steel door with a barred window. I knew that
we didn't have the key because I only have the gray key. So, we went to the
right and saw a gray steel door with a barred window to the left. I went to see
what was on the other side of the steel door by looking through the barred
window and I saw that there was another gray steel door to the right. Then, I
unlocked the door and we entered the room. After everyone came into the room,
I closed and locked the door. Then, I looked through the barred window of the
gray steel door that was to the right and saw that there was another gray steel door
to the left.
