Where in the Dimension is Melody-Floofy?
By Iman Shah and Aura Perez
One day, Melody the unicatdog snuck away to explore and found a trail of rainbow tuna. She followed the trail to a chest filled with tuna, which happens to be her favorite food, right outside of Jackson's basketball court.
Jackson was playing basketball with his younger sister, younger brother, older brother, and older sister when they saw a creature eating rainbow tuna. Rainbow tuna is very common in the unicatdog world, but very hard to find in the human world. The creature saw them and walked up to Jackson and his siblings and started licking their faces! When Melody licks somebody, that person can understand her language. Melody introduced herself.
"Hello! My name is Melody, I'm a unicatdog from another dimension."
Jackson looked around confused, unsure if the creature just talked to him.
"I'm down here!", Melody said.
Jackson looked down at her, surprised. He had never met a unicatdog before, especially one from another dimension! Jackson took Melody in his arms and brought her home with him. Once he got home, he got on his computer and looked up unicatdogs. He learned that they are very rare and hard to find.
Over time, they became best friends. Melody split her time between her family and Jackson, sneaking away from her family to go see Jackson and sneaking away from Jackson to go see her family. After all, she still had to go to unicatdog school.
To travel between dimensions, Melody used a secret portal between worlds in a forest. The forest was not just any plain forest- there were rainbow trees on the unicatdog side!
She was the only one that knew about the portal and how to get there. Unicatdogs were told it was dangerous in the human world, but Melody was bored! So that’s why she had sniffed rainbow tuna all the way to Jackson’s basketball court.
But, she was still a baby, so it was dangerous! She normally got captured a lot by other animals who were her enemies. But Melody always managed to escape. She had wings that she could hide from others and use to get to the portal faster.
Eventually, Jackson and Melody’s family started wondering why Melody was gone for long periods of time. Melody’s family installed security cameras in the trees so they could keep track of her.
One day, Jackson decided to follow Melody to see where she would go. He followed her to the forest, and saw her disappear right in front of him! Then, he saw a group of unicatdogs from up above in the trees. They looked just like Melody. Jackson was shocked, but he didn’t show it on the outside. He heard noises, which were the unicatdogs trying to fix the cameras in the trees in just the right position.
“What are you doing?” Jackson asked. He didn’t need to yell because unicatdogs hear very well.
The unicatdogs took a minute to process what they heard. They’ve never gone to the other side of the portal, so they’d never seen a real human before, but they did learn about them in school. Melody-Floofy was the first unicatdog who ever met an actual person. The family had told Melody to not go to the human world because it was dangerous, so they didn’t trust Jackson. The unicatdogs ran away, but Jackson wanted to get more information about Melody. He ran after them. All of a sudden, Jackson found himself in a forest full of rainbow trees and chocolate lakes...
