The dragon guarded their cave. The marshmallow watched. The Marshmallow’s name was Bob. Bob knew this dragon. Their name was Billy.
Bob knew someone was in the cave – but who was it? He had to know!
The dragon was huge – twenty times big-chungus! Billy’s back legs were blue, their front legs were green, their body was red, and their head was also blue. Billy’s stick hair was navy blue, and all over their body, they had happy face tattoos. Bob thought that Billy would feel very slimy to the touch.
Bob liked Billy’s smell. Billy smelled just the way Bob thought his ancestor Caillou would have smelled – like glasses. Billy was roaring and roaring because there were wizards in the distance throwing spears at them.
Billy created a force field to protect themself and the cave. But Bob had made himself invisible.
Now that there was a force field, the dragon took a break from roaring and began to eat a cheeseburger. Yum, thought Bob, that looked delicious. Such cheesy goodness. As Bob watched the dragon eat, he saw the wizards out of the corner of his eye run off.
Maybe, Bob thought, they are going home for a snack.
Bob, being invisible, tiptoed into the cave. He ran right into another forcefield. Luckily, he could create portals. He created a portal and walked right through that forcefield. There was a wizard on the other side.
Bob decided to become visible. With a poof he could be seen.
“Hi!” he said to the wizard.
The wizard cackled. He raised his wand and turned Bob into an eyeball.
Bob panicked. He wasn’t exactly sure what happened, but he knew there was danger — maybe a fire. He stopped, dropped, and rolled. But that did nothing. Then he tried to talk and that didn’t work either.
That wizard was a meanie. Bob made himself invisible again until he could figure this out. He rolled invisibly to the wizard’s space wand and turned himself back into a marshmallow – yay! But then he heard something.
It was Billy. “I smell something sweet to eat!” Suddenly they bit off Bob’s head – ack!
Fortunately Bob could regrow his head — he thought! But somehow it came back weird. He felt it with his six hands and realized it was a camel head.
Bob ran away just as the dragon bit again, this time biting air. Bob used his sticky power to run to the ceiling. There he began to sing “Old Town Road”.
The dragon chased Bob.
Oops, thought Bob. He quickly stopped singing.
The wizard threw a potion at his own arm, and it grew and grew. It got so long that the wizard was able to punch the ceiling into the sky!
Now Bob was flying through the air. Luckily he had flying abilities. He flew and flew but then his flying flubbed, and he fell through a roof and into a heap of wizards.
“Woah!” said a wizard. “It must be our wizard saved from the dragon.”
Ohhhh, thought Bob. It’s those wizards… the ones with spears.
Then the meanie wizard walked into the house. “I’m safe!” he yelled. “I escaped!”
“Wait a sec!” said another wizard. “Who is the invisible person who just fell on Joe the Wizard’s head?”
“It must be the marshmallow,” said the meanie wizard. “It’s okay! I’m not really mean and you saved me. You distracted the dragon. I am your friend forevermore!”
Bob became visible and he and the wizards were friends forevermore!
The End.
