One day, I was in the Whyhouse, happily chatting with my friends. As usual, we were excitedly talking about random things, such as the great Bubblesaurus and the fact that my hamster has the same name as one of my buddies. She was about ready to launch a virtual punch at my face when suddenly, a creepy skittering was heard in the corner.
There was dead silence. No one moved. I was about to say, "Awkward silence, much?" when a giant roar sounded. We all were terribly frightened. We ran into the Help Center. We tried to talk about the monster we'd heard in there, but quickly discovered we couldn't listen to ourselves. However, the Ymail Helper that was there heard the whole thing and guided us to the Whyville Square.
"You're saying there's a dinosaur living in the Whyhouse?" she asked, a quizzical expression planted on her half-concerned computerized face.
"Monster," I corrected. The Ymail Helper, whose username clearly stated "kpuff", typed in *rolls eyes* and said, "Whatever. Monster. But still, that's really weird. You say you heard a . . . roar? I didn't hear anything from the Help Center."
"We heard a roar!" Dawn920, one of my friends, insisted. We sat there in silence for a little while. Being the second awkward silence in five minutes, I was getting really used to these "awkward silences."
"Well, we'd better get started, then," Kpuff said. "Are you kidding?" I gasped, clamping my kitty paw over my mouth. Kpuff nodded, a grave look in her eyes. "How else are we supposed to begin the quest?"
We all agreed that we needed to investigate before calling the City Workers to look into it. 'After all, it could just be a bug,' I thought, but I wasn't too sure about that. As we reached the door to the great Whyhouse, I cautiously opened it a crack and peeked in. Chills ran down our virtual spines at what we saw.
Nothing.
