The next morning, our bird friends stayed for breakfast, and they had to witness how well puppy eyes could work on me. Hatter kept asking to see the form I didn't want to show her when I had a nightmare. Then again, I refused for another reason this time. Both Grooves and Conductor were still in shock, and the latter remembered everything beside the face of the person who sabotaged their stuff.

I crossed my arms and leaned back in my chair.

"Hatter, for the last time, I don't want them to see me like this while they need to calm their nerves." I grumbled

She pulled the puppy eyes again.

"We're kinda curious too, lassy. Yer did say yer were an universe traveler." Conductor spoke up

I pinched the bridge of my nose as Grooves nodded in agreement.

"Very well. If y'all are going to ask, again and again, I might as well show you." I gave in

Hatter cheered and the two birds chuckled at me. I led the way to the main lobby and crossed my arms while asking them to back up. An idea popped up in my head.

'I don't need to necessarily show them my monster form, I can show them my dragon form.'

I closed my eyes and concentrated. My body grew thinner, longer, taller and soon I had to lay on my stomach to fit where I was. I opened my left eye and looked at the three shorter beings. They were shocked, obviously. I chuckled at their faces.

"Well? How do I look?" I asked

Hatter rushed to hug my snout with shiny eyes.

"That's so cool!! I love it!" She exclaimed

Both birds approached as well and I blew a soft breeze at them and they laughed a bit.

"That's quite the trick, lass." Conductor commented

Grooves nodded his head in agreement. I gave a small smile before changing back to my usual form, keeping my height normal. I scooped up Hatter in a hug, making her giggle. We hung around for a bit more and Hatter decided that we should be heading to the next area. We saluted the birds after leaving them in front of the studio and teleported back to the ship. We looked out the large window and her eyes seemed to eye the sinister forest.

"Are you sure?" I asked

She looked up at me then nodded determinedly.

That's how we started to walk through a dark and ghostly forest. We landed in front of what seemed like a cabin with an armchair. We came across a shadowy creature wearing rags.

"I bet the view from on top of that tree is awesome." He commented

I looked up then down at Hatter. She wanted to check it out. I crouched and allowed her to climb on my back before I stood back straight. I crouched again, having my knees touch the ground and my skin slightly glowing blue through the fabric of my pants, then leaped up and grabbed onto a branch that was right above a cloud. I looked down after pulling myself up.

"There isn't much of a view, if you ask me." I mumbled

I felt Hatter shift and I looked back at her. She was pouting.

"You're not wrong. He lied to us."

I chuckled and let her down.

"Race ya to the ground?" I asked

She giggled and shook her head before jumping off. I followed after her with my umbrella in hand. We both landed safely on the ground, closed our umbrellas and continued to walk. At some point, she started running after another of those shadowy creatures and I sighed. I looked at a mask spirit.

"Oh, are you lost? I've been lost for as long as I remember." They said

A shiver ran down my spine and my senses sharpened. I looked at the way Hatter ran in before running after her. I found her struggling in a bag above the ground and with a leap, I was able to cut the ropes with my claws. We both landed and a sort of purple dimension surrounded us. We supposedly couldn't escape it. A ghost came out of the ground and grinned at us with glowing yellow mouth and eyes.

"Hahahahhhahahaha! Fooooool!"
