Chapter 1: Getting the Golems

“We are the poorest family on Crasmperry Street,” Molduga said to her daughters, Sydna and Maia. “We only have infinity dollars!”
“Infinity?” Maia asked, wrangling her bunny paws.
“How much is infinity?” Molduga shook her head, her ears swinging side to side as she put her paws on her hips.
“Below zero,” she answered stiffly. Sydna walked out the door, her bunny feet softly tapping the stone floor. “I’m going outside to see if there are any Golems I can purchase.”
Molduga shook her head again. “Sydna never learns,” she said, frowning. “Golems are expensive! How dumb can she be?” She sighed.

Sydna walked into a bedrock shop.
“Welcome! My name is Rara, and you are going to go bowling! Woohoo! Bowling!”
Sydna made a face. “Wrong house,” she muttered to herself.

She went in another house, made of pure cobblestone.
“Welcome, I’m Ira, and today, you are going to purchase the best Golems in the universe!” Ira greeted. “One diamond golem for 400 rupees, and one iron golem for 200 rupees!” She took a breath. “Buy one! Please!”
Sydna laughed, “I’ll take the diamond golem.” The diamond golem got up and followed Sydna home.

Molduga looked at her beautiful daughter. “Maia, don’t make the decision to buy a golem, please,” she pleaded.
“Sorry, mother, but, I need one for protection,” Maia replied.
Molduga glared at Maia. “You have me to protect you,” she pointed out. “They are too expensive, anyway.”
Maia marched to the door, right when Sydna bursted in with a huge diamond golem following her. Bam! The sisters smacked into each other and fell to the floor. The diamond golem tried to attack Maia, but Sydna raised a sky blue paw to stop it. “Diamond Golem, this is my sister, Maia. Maia, this is my Diamond Golem.”
Maia rubbed her head. “I was going to go to the store to get a golem, Sydna, but you got in my way!”
Sydna ignored her and plopped down on the soft couch to watch Star Wars episode 6. The Diamond Golem sat down next to her. Maia marched out the door.

As Diamond Golem was watching Sydna’s favorite scene, Sydna got up and asked Molduga for some Golem ice cream and bunny bread. Diamond Golem licked it once, and loved it so much that she ate the rest. As Diamond Golem licked herself, Maia bursted in with an iron golem behind her. The iron golem looked at Sydna, and decided that she was innocent. That’s when Molduga walked in and screamed. “Sydna and Maia! WHAT is that?!”
Sydna calmly got up and brushed the crumbs of bread off her pearly fur. She used the Force to push Molduga out of the room.
“Sydna!” Molduga shouted, “Better start packing! We are going to Marmade Island for vacation!” Maia and Sydna looked at each other for a second. “Yay!” They shouted in unison. The bunnies packed.

For dinner, they had soup full of mosquitos, flies, and mushroom, all mushed together. “Eww, what’s this?” Maia, who was very picky, gagged.
“Picon soup,” Molduga explained, “made of fresh squeezed oranges with pulp.” Sydna forced herself to gulp a portion of it. It was as nasty as it looked.
“Do you like it?” Molduga asked. Sydna whimpered but didn’t answer. She forced herself to gulp down another portion. Maia took another sip of the nasty soup, then got up to pack. “Come on,” she said, “We need some sleep.”

Early in the morning the next day, Diamond Golem was clanking on a cup. “Quick!” Maia said, “We can catch the plane if we hurry!” Maia has always been optimistic. The plane flies at 9:00 a.m., and it was already 8:50 a.m. It would take at least 50 minutes to reach the airport, so the bunnies and golems rushed there just in time to grab on to a piece of rope dangling from the plane. The plane took off.

Sydna was slipping from the rope, and so were everyone else except the golems because of their ability to fly. Sydna and the others fell into the ocean.

Maia couldn’t breathe. It had been 20 minutes since they’ve fallen to the bottom of the ocean, and she really needed some air. Maia felt like her lungs were exploding, but Maia knew she was dead. She looked over at Sydna… and blacked out.
