"I have to leave," said Ozzy. "Call me if you need me." And she gave Diomedes her phone numcer and left, her spotlight following her down the indefinite hall. Killer Kangaroo than took RoboRabbit's body and carried it as they continued forward. Ir wasn't long before they heard a casually apathetic chuckle behind them. Everyone turned around to see Hilarious Hyena approaching and laughing from behind. Her laughter grew ever louder and then slowly faded.
"Hi," she said to the group.
"Hi," said the group to her. And then they proceeded through the hallway. They entered an open area and immediately smelled an extremely cute scent coming from the right. They turned to behold Jhoqi sitting cross-legged in the grass, humming to herself. They immediately waltzed over to her (for she was humming waltz music).
"Where are we?" asked Teddy.
"This," replied Jhoqi, "is the room of the invisible stair. You can only climb the stair within the presence of the One and the Two. It leads to out true home, but only the One and the Two together can unlock the gate."
It was then that everyone noticed that the ceiling of the room was different from the preceeding hallway. They saw a large piece of notebook paper which, even as they looked, flipped over to reveal that it was not just one paper but an entire notebook. After it flipped the ceiling paper was blank.
"What is that?" inquired Hilarious Hyena.
"It's a spiral bound notebook," said Jhoqi.
"But what's it for? What's it do?"
"Just keep watching," replied Jhoqi. "You'll see."
And so they kept watching, and watching, and they watched for hours and then days and then months, but for me it was only a few minutes. They got so bored that they began carefully searching for the invisible stair, which they failed to locate. This they took to mean that the One and the Two were not both present. But when they told Jhoqi of their findings, she disagreed with their conclusion.
"There are actually two things required to even touch the invisible stair. First, the One and the Two must be present. Second, they must want to climb the stair, which requires consciousness. I suggest you cover all your bases before concluding that the One and the Two are not both present, for they very well might be here."
Then everyone realized that they hadn't looked at the ceiling in a while and looked up to see it had flipped again and was filled with words. It read:
"even as they looked, flipped over to reveal that it was not just one paper but an entire notebook. After it flipped the ceiling paper was blank.
'What's that?' inquired Hilarious Hyena..."
"It's us," said Killer Kangaroo as he read on. "It's our story."
"I suppose the invisible stair leads up to it," said Diomedes.
"Yup," said Jhoqi. "But you'll need the One and the Two physically and mentally to find it."
"We'll probably have to revive RoboRabbit then," pointed out Teddy.
"How are we to go about doing that?" asked Hilarious Hyena.
"Have you ever seen Snow White?" asked Jhoqi.
"Yes," Hilarious Hyena, "and I know where you're going. There's no way I'm doing that."
"What?" said Jhoqi. "I was just gonna say that I could really use one of those apples. I'm so tired!"
"Oh yeah," said Hilarious Hyena. "Me too."
And the ceiling notebook flipped again to a blank page.
