Journey

    If you picked up this story or looked it up online thinking, "Oh, this story probably has a good plot," you were most likely disappointed with what you found.  But, like all stories of significant length, this story indeed has a plot, and perhaps it will now finally begin to dictate the events of the story.
    "RoboRabbit," said Teddy, "you seem troubled.  What goes on?"
    "I feel that we need to do something," responded RoboRabbit.  "Something important.  This whole story we haven't really done anything important, and I feel that it's time."
    "Well, then," said Teddy.  "It seems that we must find the One."
    "And the Two."
    "And the Two."
    "Not the Three."
    "Not the Three."
    "Find all four."
    "All the more."
    "Count to five."
    "Save our lives."
    "Level six."
    "Break some bricks."
    "Number seven."
    "We're in heaven."
    "I ate eight."
    "Can't you wait?"
    "Evil nine."
    "That sounds fine."
    "Yum, pi squared."
    "Pi squared isn't a number!"
    "Yes it is, it's just not rational."
    "Or an integer!"
    "W/e, I think pi squared deserves a spot in our list of numbers."
    "You know what we need?" questioned Teddy.
    "Claudio McAwesome," replied RoboRabbit.
    "How do you suppose?"
    "She's been searching for the One as long as I've known her.  If anyone can help us, she can."
    "Alrighty then," said Teddy.  "As much as such a suggestion makes more sense than anything we've done thus far, I suppose it's off to find Claudio McAwesome!"
    Just as he pronounced his exclamation mark a small ship descended from the clouds of Miuxwodih and landed nearby.  They went to investigate, thinking that perhaps another new character had entered the story.  As it turned out they were completely wrong, for after a set of small stairs extended from the ship a figure appeared which was easily recognizable as Claudio McAwesome.  At this point RoboRabbit resisted the urge to utter "speak of the devil" at the sight of this pretty possum.  Instead he decided to discover why she was here.
    "Why are you here?" asked RoboRabbit.
    "I felt something deep within me telling me to come here," she replied.
    "Well good," said RoboRabbit, "for we need your help."
    "With what?"
    "We have decided," answered Teddy, "to find the One, and you have the most experience."
    "Well, long ago the Oracle told me I would find the One, and I have been searching ever since.  According to the Kukxi, the One and the Two must locate and climb the invisible stair to start their journey.  This stair can be climbed only when the One and the Two are present."
    "Where is this invisible stair?" questioned RoboRabbit.
    "The Kukxi doesn't say, but after much long searching I found it just before finding you.  It is located on the planet Liibed, at the end of a hallway filled with traps.  I attempted to climb it when I found it but I fell through after two steps."
    "Then it's off to Liibed!" exclaimed RoboRabbit.  And so they entered the ship of Claudio McAwesome, which was better than theirs, and flew to the planet Liibed, which they found to be a pure black planet with floating buildings throughout, so that there was only one spot where they should land, next to which was a simple door to a neon green building.  They landed and exited the vehicle, ready for anything, except of course shuriken-shaped hail, which was thankfully not a common occurrence on Liibed.
    RoboRabbit opened the door and the three of them entered, which is certainly a very interesting thing to do at a door.  They found themselves under a low roof standing at a cliff which was seemingly endless.  The pit was about twenty feet across and it was bridged by a tightrope.
    "I can't cross this," said RoboRabbit.
    "I can," replied Teddy, skidding across the wire like it was nothing.
    Claudio McAwesome then proceeded to duplicate his actions, leaving RoboRabbit alone on the edge. RoboRabbit shot his lasers at a single spot in the wall, attempting to make a hole, but to no avail.  Then Claudio McAwesome pulled out her rubber band and threw one end to RoboRabbit.  They both turned on their infinite coefficient of friction boots, and Claudio McAwesome began walking away.  When the rubber band was on the verge of snapping, RoboRabbit turned off his infinite coefficient of friction boots and flew straight towards Claudio McAwesome, who stepped to her right just in time for RoboRabbit ro fly past her and, since she was fixed in place, swing back and forth until finally he came to rest beside her and they continued walking.
