××××××××××××××××××××

"Oh boy," Six muttered once glancing at the closed doors in the hallway. Crates stood at some sides of the other doors. Seven sighed beside her, "Ooookay, which door should we take?"

Music floated around them, Six nocked her head to the door at the very end. She turned to the boys, "Let's go there," she said they nodded.

They dashed to the door before any other monster would show out the hall. Six once again hopped to the handle and the door slowly opened. Six hopped down and peeked in to see Twenty-Three on the center of the room under the spot light.

Seven and Mono peeked in too, making them look like a totem pole.

"I'm not liking the vibe here," Mono muttered, and as if on cue, Twenty-Three snapped her head to the three, her lips gracing an amused smirk.

I expected you to come here, she said in a ghastly voice, yet in the same time melodic and hauntingly the same as Twenty-Three, but something was quite wrong.

The not-quite-the-same Twenty-Three turned to them and tilted her head to the side, Six noticed that her eyes were still closed.

So? She asked, Are you coming in here or are you gonna stand there like stupid looking totems? She asked and Six pushed the door wider, clearing her throat. At least some of Twenty-Three's sarcasticness was in this... Not Twenty-Three.

"W-Who are you?" Six asked and noticed a little shakiness in her voice. She frowned at the little fear in the back of her mind, this was Twenty-Three. She is your best friend...

Except when your best friend got cursed and a new person came out from her entirely.

Not Twenty-Three smiled and placed a hand on her heart before bowing, I'm Doll Twenty-Three... As you know, that child Joker favors.

"No, we didn't know that," Seven said as he and Mono stood side by side of Six, "What are you?"

Doll Twenty-Three rolled her head upwards as if she was rolling her closed eyes, Obviously not human, you dolt. I'm a curse, and I'm doing my precious Twenty-Three a favor.

"Favor? Twenty-Three told me about that and she told me that you have only one favor for her," Mono said and Doll Twenty-Three laughed, a haughty queen like laugh.

One favor? I'm doing her TONS of favors, but she only owes me one thing for all the things I'm doing for her, ONLY ONE, Doll Twenty-Three pointed out while stepping up closer to them.

"What is it?" Six asked and Doll Twenty-Three smiled gently, Oh, Six... You are like me... Well, like Twenty-Three. You know what I'm talking about right?

"No, I don't," Six said and Doll Twenty-Three groaned, Oh, whatever. You'll know very soon.

There was a rumble nearby and Doll Twenty-Three lifted her head to the open door, I guess we'll meet again. Go and bring Twenty-Three outta here. See you soon, she placed two fingers on her eyebrow and did a mock salute before limping to the floor, yet the three ran to her and Mono caught her before she fell face first to the floor.

The rumbling was closer, Six turned to the door and to Twenty-Three to see she was sleeping peacefully. Which was the most ironic thing to see right now.

"We have to get out of here," Mono said while hefting Twenty-Three in a much more comfortable lift for him, which was a princess lift.

Author: Seven is screeching in the background.

Author: Seven will fanboy for seven hours straight upon seeing this.

Author: Seven cries for seven minutes and Six will look at him like 'wtf?'

Six turned to Seven who was trying the best to put a serious face but his mouth twitching to a little smirk, but he nodded. Six rolled her eyes and turned to Mono again, "Let's go, fast," she said and Mono nodded.

They ran off before who the hecc that monster is would catch them and their 'Save Twenty-Three' mission will just go back from the start.

Six saw a hole in the wall and turned to the boys while pointing to it. They both nodded and they sneaked in the hole. It was hollow, dark, and a little low like a rat's hole. Just the thought of rats made Six shudder as some bad memories went back.

Six heard groaning behind her and she turned to see Twenty-Three rubbing her eyes, "What the hell-?..." she croaked and looked around

Six's eyes watered, Twenty-Three is okay.

Twenty-Three looked at Mono before leaning back from him, "Dude, what are you doing carrying me like this?"

Seven smirked, oh how Six could easily notice he's in cloud nine right now.

Mono rolled his eyes, "We were saving you if you didn't remember, you're welcome in advance," he said as he gently placed Twenty-Three to the ground then pulling out the folded cloak, "You'd need this."

"Thanks," Twenty-Three said as she got her cloak and put it on, double checking those inner pockets and such to see all her stuff are still in the cloak, also that oil lamp Six got head bonked to.

Six smiled as she ran to Twenty-Three and squeezed her into lung-squeezing hug.

"I thought we'll lose you!" Six sniffed and Twenty-Three hugged back, smiling gently, "You'll never loose me. That'll be silly."

It was for a good five minutes before Six let go, wiping off some tears that escaped her eyes. Twenty-Three smiled, "Thanks for saving me, all of you," she said while looking at the other boys to.

Mono shrugged, "I said you're welcome in advance."

Seven nodded while smiling too, "You're our best friend, there's no way we'd leave you."

Twenty-Three giggled, it was nice to hear that girlish giggle echo through the walls, "Yeah, or else I choosed the wrong friends," she joked and Six giggled too.

"Let's get outta here before that Joker jerk turns you to a doll again," Six suggested and Twenty-Three exhaled, "More than anythin'. Take me outta here."

Then they walked on the hole the two girls at front and the boys at the back. When the boys were a bit far behind, Six turned to Twenty-Three, "Hey, Twenty-Three?" She whispered.

Twenty-Three hummed, "Yeah, what?" She said in the same tone.

"What happened to you while that... other you was out?" Six asked and Twenty-Three's face became gaurded for a while before softening a bit.

"Y-You met Doll Twenty-Three?" She stammered. Six frowned, if she had a alter/curse like Twenty-Three she would be the same.

Wait...

She did, didn't she? A shadow child who shows around....

Six pushed that thought off before it got worse, and she nodded. Twenty-Three exhaled.

"Oh boy, did she do anything to any of you?" She asked and Six shook her head, "No, she just gave us a chit-chat, but she was... She had a non-hostile aura."

"Oh," Twenty-Three mumbled, "She has that aura, kinda scary and makes you think if she's a friend or a foe... Anyways, did she talk about favors and such?"

Six remembered that conversation with Doll Twenty-Three, and she nodded, "She said she'll give you tons of favors, but you only owe her one thing."

Twenty-Three stopped her tracks and Six turned to see her looking down thinking gravely. Then Twenty-Three faced Six, "Did you ask her what I owe her?"

Six shook her head, "No - I mean I did ask - but she told me... She told I will know soon, very soon."

Twenty-Three frowned and the two boys behind them catched up, "Are you two okay?" Mono asked and Twenty-Three nodded, "Yup, just having some silly girl talk you wouldn't like," she said while walking up again, the three also trudging along.

"Like what?" Seven asked and Twenty-Three smirked, "Like who kissed who first," she lied. But that lie dusted a blush on both Seven and Six's faces.

Mono chuckled, "Now, that's a silly girly talk, but I'm interested," he said and Twenty-Three laughed. The couple just looked as flustered as ever.

"U-um," Seven cleared his throat before turning to Six, "U-uh, let's go already."

Six nodded, "Y-Yeah! L-Let's not talk about that!" She smiled and the other two laughed, "So you did kiss!" Twenty-Three grinned.

Six blushed a shade deeper, just a few minutes was they were talking about something serious and bam, Twenty-Three managed to change the subject entirely.

Six slowly pointed Seven before turning and walking, Twenty-Three did a silent squeal before she and the boys followed her, "Seven kissed you first?!"

"Shut up Twenty-Three I'm becoming very embarrassed," Six mumbled jokingly and Twenty-Three giggled.

"Oh why? Embarrassed because about a kiss from your boyfriend?" Seven managed to tease and Six rolled her eyes, "Oh shut up."

They saw light at the other end of the hole, Six peeked out to see it was the center of the Circus. The monsters were doing the last minute fixing before another monster ran out sweating. The monsters at work turned to the sweating monster.

"Songbird! She's gone!" They exclaimed and the other monsters dropped the tools or whatever they were holding.

"wHAT?!" The Joker suddenly boomed before walking out from the other side of the tent. The monster cowered as the Joker grabbed his collar and lift him off the ground, "How?" The Joker growled.

"I-I don't know! I was going to go check on her but she disappeared! And I told her to stay put!" The monster stammered completly scared they're being lifted by an angry boss.

The Joker literally glowed out a darker shade before dropping the monster and turning to the other monsters, "The show is once again postponed, and I hate it when it's postponed. Now," the Joker growled, Hapi and Sa floated away from him, "GO FIND ME MY SONGBIRD!" He roared then walked out to his office. The monster quickly skiddled away to find Twenty-Three.

Twenty-Three gulped and Six turned to her, "Oh dear, escaping seems to be a lot...," Twenty-Three muttered but her eyes landed on the metal bench that was near the exit door.

Six followed Twenty-Three's gaze and saw that the metal bench had some unscrewed bolts, a good push would block the exit and give them time to escape.

Six's eyes widened and turned to Twenty-Three, who was smirking that could make Six think it was Doll Twenty-Three.

"Don't tell me you're thinking of..." Six said and pointed to the metal bench.

Twenty-Three nodded while that smirk on her face widened, "Yes, yes I am."

××××××××××××××××××××

WOOP, done.

I was thinking of some more angsty things here. But nah, better not...

That will come soon.

Now, I'm thinking that you're all wondering what's Doll Twenty-Three's deal. Like what she said, you'll find that out, also, soon.

And that soon would trigger the sequel I'm already thinking of.

YES THIS WILL HAVE A SEQUEL. I'M NOT YET EVEN FINISHED WITH THIS BOOK AND I THOUGHT OF THE SEQUEL ALREADY, SO THAT MEANS ONE THING, I'M ALMOST DONE FINISHING THIS OR I'M JUST THAT BORED.

Idk if you like that wierd poem I did, I was reading a fanfic book, the author thought of writing a wierd poem, and I was like, "Oh, why not try this and see how my readers would react?!"

But that Banana Shiny poem is my original content. Why would I copy others work?

Now, a second wierd poem.

Fluffy pillows and a sleepy consience.

Flying rainbow cats and dogs digging no sense.

I'm too sleepy but I'm gonna stay awake.

Gotta finish my lessons before it's too late.

I'm not a huggable pillow.

But I love marshmallows.

Let unicorns fly the sky,

And pegasi tell wishes.

Oh wait that's wrong.

Heck I'm already too sleepy I mixed up the animals.

But I'm gonna finish my lessons to enjoy my vacation.

Myoni: Can I ask what's the main theme of this?

Long story short, I'm already too sleepy but I don't want to so I can finish my lessons, hopefully.

Mumu: It's weird.

I KNO, AND I DON'T CARE.

Now I'm gonna disappear again for many many years that you'll hate me for it!

Wattpad: Publish Finished.
