Then, before long, Kabe and I finished dinner; and then we talked for a while, and then eventually we went to sleep…

  And then the next morning I woke up, and then Kabe and I ate some breakfast and then went back to making doughnuts…

  Then, as we were making doughnuts, the door unlocked and opened again; and then Kabe turned towards the door and said, “Hey Skye!…” and then Skye said, “Odd…

  Why do you already know about me?…” and then I said, “We talked with officer Rose about you…” and then Skye shrugged and said, “Fair enough, I guess…

  But, anyway, I’m just here to collect the doughnuts that y’all have made so far…” and then she pressed a button on a remote control, and then the roof of the room suddenly! opened up above us; and then her extra arms all became visible, and then she used all of her arms to collect all of the doughnuts that Kabe and I had made so far; and then she sped! up and into the sky, and then the roof above Kabe and I closed again…; and then Kabe said, “It’s crazy how she looks exactly like how she looked in my dream…

  I mean, I’m starting to think that maybe I met her in a previous life or something, ya know?…” and then I said, “It’s pretty crazy, for sure; and I’m not sure exactly what to think, to be honest…” and then Kabe and I went back to doughnut-making; and then after a while it was lunch time, and so then the 2 of us began to eat some lunch…

  And then, as we were eating lunch, the roof opened again; and I was expecting to see Skye come through the open roof, but instead there was a hot air balloon above us!…; and so then I said, “This is odd…” and then I suddenly! heard a voice say, “Are you sure that this is the room that they’re in, Jelly?…” and then another voice said, “Oh yeah, it’s gotta be!…

  But thanks for coming with me to help me identify them though, Jasper; because we definitely wanna make extra sure that it’s them!…” and then I said, “Wait…

  We’re being rescued by Jasper?…” and then a rope ladder suddenly! lowered from the hot air balloon, and then a man climbed down the ladder; and then he looked at Kabe and I, and then he said, “Very good!…

  You’re the correct people, for sure!…” and then I said, “I guess somebody showed you a picture of me?…” and then he said, “Yup!…

  And so now just follow me up this ladder, and then we can fly! away from here!…” and then Jasper climbed up the ladder, and then Kabe and I quickly climbed up the ladder after him; and then once I was inside of the hot air balloon I saw that there was a living doughnut who was near the hot air balloon’s steering controls!…; and so then I said, “And so you must be Jelly?…” and then she said, “Yup!…

  And I discovered that Keys broke the rules by sending Jasper over to Rexy, and so I threatened to get the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper to label them a miscreant and require that they go though the rehabilitation program unless they declared that you 2 are now fully rehabilitated; and so now the good news is that Keys has informed the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper that you’re fully rehabilitated, but the bad news is that Keys still has their officer position for now…” and then I said, “Hmmm…

  That’s interesting that if the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper were to find out what Keys did then he would declare that Keys is a miscreant and would require that Keys go through the “rehabilitation” program…

  Though perhaps before we discuss this more we should put some distance between this terrible place and the hot air balloon that we’re in!…” and then Jelly said, “Sounds good!…” and then she adjusted the hot air balloon’s steering controls, and then we all began flying away! from the villainous “rehabilitation” center!…; and then after a little while Kabe said, “Well…

  Thanks for saving us!…

  And so why would the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper care about Keys sending Jasper over to Rexy, anyway?…” and then Jelly said, “Well; Rexy is a tyrannosaurus rex, and the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper has strict rules against any of his underlings killing anybody; and so Keys is totally not allowed to send anybody over to Rexy, and Keys has actually had to go through the rehabilitation program in the past when they’ve been caught sending folks over to Rexy…” and then I said, “Rexy’s a tyrannosaurus rex!?!?!?!…

  And so how did Jasper survive then???…” and then Jasper said, “Rexy almost gobbled me up, but Jelly here arrived just in time in her hot air balloon and saved the day!…” and then Kabe said, “Whoa!…

  If you discover this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

  That must’ve been terrifying!…

  And it sure is a good thing that Jelly showed up to save the day, for sure!…” and then I said, “And so then I guess the 2 of you got back home and then learned that Kabe and I had been captured too?…” and then Jasper said, “Yup!…

  And it was at that point that Jelly came up with the plan to get Keys to declare that you 2 were rehabilitated so that the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper would allow you to return home!…” and then I said, “Nice!…

  Though now I’m wondering why Keys was allowed to even be a rehabilitation officer again!…

  I mean, since they got in trouble for breaking the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper’s rules back in the day, why were they allowed to become one of the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper’s officers again?…” and then Jelly said, “Well, I mean, it’s still a villainous operation (even though the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper isn’t as villainous as Keys is); and so the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper always ends up reinstating folks like Bear and Keys after they’ve been caught breaking the rules and have then been required to complete the rehabilitation program…” and then Kabe said, “He reinstates them even though they’ve killed people!?!…” and then Jelly said, “He’s a villain!…

  I mean, I certainly wish that Keys and Bear were never reinstated!…” and then I said, “And so how do you know all of these villains, anyway?…

  I mean, you don’t seem like much of a villain to me…” and then Jelly said, “Well; I was created by the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper a while back, and so I was naturally a part of his villainous team after I was created; but I never really liked villainy, and so I’m only kind of still a member of the team at this point…

  And, I mean, I do often get tempted to just completely distance myself from the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper and his fellow villains…; but if I were to do that then I wouldn’t be able to rescue people from the villainous rehabilitation center like how I just rescued you 2, and so I’m somewhat reluctant to completely leave the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper’s villainous team, ya know?…” and then Jasper said, “And it’s hard to say what the best move for Jelly would be in this situation, but it does seem pretty sensible for her to be tempted to continue using her association with the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper so that she can rescue people; and so, sure, being associated with the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper like she is kind of makes her a villain; but since she’s using her association with the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper to save folks I’d say that she’s kind of heroic too!…” and then Kabe said, “And, I mean, Decker and I are certainly very grateful that we got rescued!; and so we’re not going to complain about being able to return home now, that’s for sure!…; though is it possible that being so closely associated with the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper could lead to being able to bring him and the rest of his villainous team to justice?…” and then Jelly said, “I’d love to bring them to justice, but the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper is very powerful…; and so any attempt that I might make to bring him to justice would almost certainly fail…

  I mean, he’s so powerful that he’s currently got the Devil themself and one of the Devil’s minions locked up inside of his rehabilitation center!…” and then I said, “Whaaaaa??????…

  For real?…” and then Jelly said, “Yup!…

  And so if I ever encounter some heroic folks who seem powerful enough to bring the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper to justice then I’ll probably try to convince them to try n’ bring him to justice, but I’m not really expecting to run into any heroic folks who would be willing and able to do that any time soon…” and then Kabe said, “Yeah…; it certainly sounds much easier said than done, that’s for sure…” and then Jasper said, “But, who knows?…; maybe someday it’ll happen!…” and then I said, “For sure!…

  And I guess in the meantime Jelly will just have to figure out how exactly she wants to proceed in regards to the Dreaded Doughnut Dropper, and at least she’s saving folks like us from his villainous “rehabilitation” center!…” and then Jelly said, “Yup!…

  It’ll be up to me how I decide to proceed, and regardless of how I end up proceeding it’s still good that I’m rescuing folks like you 3!…

  Oh!…; and we’ve now arrived at y’all’s home, and so now y’all are free to return to your lives!…” and then I looked down over the edge of the hot air balloon, and I did indeed see lots of familiar sights beneath me!…; and so then I said, “Woohoo!…

  Thanks so much for saving us, Jelly!; and I wish you the best in all of the decision-making and whatnot that awaits you!…” and then Jelly said, “You’re welcome!; and thanks for the well-wishes!…” and then Kabe and Jasper also said thank-you and farewell to Jelly, and then Jelly said farewell and thank-you to them as well; and then Jasper, Kabe, and I all climbed down the hot air balloon’s rope ladder; and then once we were all standing on the ground we all looked up towards the hot air balloon and waved goodbye to Jelly!; and then Jelly waved goodbye to us!; and then Jelly and the hot air balloon flew up into the sky!; and then before long Jelly and the hot air balloon had traveled out of sight; and so now Kabe, Jasper, and I all had our freedom again and were all very close to our abodes; and then Jasper said, “Well!…

  I suppose that all’s well that ends well, eh?…

  And so do you 2 wanna head over to a coffee shop and chill and drink some coffee and eat some snacks before we all go our separate ways?…” and then Kabe said, “Sounds good to me!…” and then I said, “And it sounds good to me too!…” and then Jasper said, “Awesome!…” and so then the 3 of us headed towards a coffee shop; and as we all walked towards the coffee shop and talked happily with each other I was in a very good mood and was feeling very confident that we were all going to live happily ever after!…

  The End
