CHAPTER I
"Welcome to Threadville"
"Yeah, Grandma, I'm gonna find it," Y/N said as they began climbing up into the attic. "Where's that stupid sewing machine? Come on, where are you hiding?"
They glanced around and muttered, "So many boxes... This is insane. What even is in all of these?"
After thirty minutes of searching, they finally spotted the machine on the top shelf. "Better take this back toâ"
BANG!
"THE HELL?! What even was that?" they said, turning toward a large shape under a draped fabric. Pulling the cloth down, they blinked. "A... mirror?"
"Hmm, what a pretty mirror. Why is it even up here? Maybe Grandma will let me have it."
As they reached out to dust it off, the mirror suddenly began to glow.
"Wait. WAIT. WAIT, WHAT EVEN IS THIS?! HELLO?! NUH UHâITâS SUCKING ME IN! GRANDMAâ!"
Everything went blank.
Oliver and Veena were enjoying a hot cup of tea near the bee area.
"I'm so happy my crops are turning out better every year. Sometimes itâs a bit hard to manage alone, but theyâve grown beautifully!" Oliver said, a silly smile on his face.
Veena, on the other hand, was already a little cranky.
"Ugh, Rocky hasnât moved from that spot in ages, and heâs been acting weird lately, especially with those night time crazy episodes. Is it just me, or did you notice it too?"
Oliver nodded, his expression shifting to concern.
"Iâve noticed... but when I ask, he just goes back to fishing. Weâll figure out whatâs going on someday, I promiseâ what is that?"
They both looked upâand saw something, or more precisely, someone, falling out of a hole in the sky. They quickly stepped out of the way.
"Fuck, man, that hurts," Y/N groaned, rubbing their head. As they opened their eyes, two figures stood in front of them.
"...You ruined my table," Veena muttered.
"I'm so sorryâone minute I was in my grandma's attic, a mirror sucked me up, and now I'm here... Where is here?"
"Welcome to Threadville!" Oliver said with a smile. "But we should probably figure out how you ended up here. Letâs head into townâoh, wait. Rockyâs at the exit. Weâll need to get some honey for him as a peace offering."
"Ugh, the bees are already mad we took honey for our tea today," Veena exclaimed.
"Iâll do it," Y/N offered. "Itâs the least I can do after destroying your table."
"Thank you kindly... uh, whatâs your name?"
"Y/N," they said, putting their hands on their hips.
"Iâm Oliver, and this is Veena. And as you probably heard, the guy napping over there is Rocky. Heâs a bit tense, but heâs a sweetheart."
Getting the honey was not a task for the weak. The bees swarmed all around the maze, making it tricky to avoid themâbut somehow, Y/N managed to grab the honey. The group made their way toward Rocky.
"Iâm so sorry to wake you up," Oliver said gently, "but our new friend here needs to get into town. Can you kindly move? We brought you honey."
"Oh, no problem, Oliver. Sorry for blocking the path," Rocky said, taking the jar from his hands. "Hereâlet me walk you all into town."
When they arrived, Rocky and Veena split off to go talk to Patty, while Oliver wandered into a little garden patch to check on his radishes.
"Hey Oliver, need some help over there?" Y/N asked.
"Oh no, no, I was just checking to see if thereâs a worm. Heâs been giving me troubleâkeeps eating my plants."
"Ugh, maybe you can give the worm a vegetable every time you grow new ones? Like a little offering? So he munches on that instead of everything else?"
"Oh, believe meâI tried that. He wants to cause trouble."
"What a little maniac."
Pattyâs house was tucked between a yarn-dyed shop and a building that looked suspiciously like a giant bubble. It smelled like lavender, cinnamon, and old buttons.
Inside, Veena leaned on the wall while Rocky stood awkwardly by the door, holding what was left of his honey jar.
Pattyâmid-40s, power stance, brushing her hairâeyed Y/N as they walked in with Oliver.
Oliver slowed his pace. âHey, youâve been super calm for someone who just got sucked in a antique mirror.â
Y/N let out a breath and laughed weakly. âHonestly? I think Iâm still in shock. Or maybe Threadvilleâs so weird itâs distracting me.â
Just then, a squirrel in a sweater darted across the window carrying what looked like⊠a crochet hook?
Oliver said with a sweet smile âYeah, give it a day. Youâll fit right in.â
âAh,â Patty said slowly, tapping the brush against her chin. âYouâre the one who fell.â
Y/N blinked. âPeople just⊠know that?â
âThreadvilleâs small. You sneeze and the fabric trees echo it by lunch,â she said. âAlso, thereâs a sky-rip above the forest. Not subtle.â
"Can you help me get back to... my world?"
"Mmm, maybe. Maybe not. Iâve never heard of this kind of mess before, but weâll give it a shot. In the meantime, Iâm rolling out a sleeping bag for you, âcause itâs late, I need my beauty sleep, and tomorrowâs gonna be weird enough without me looking like a mess. Weâll talk more in the morning. Nighty night!" Patty said as she headed upstairs.
Everyone went their way as nightfall crept into Threadville, the sky stitched with silver stars and a crescent moon shaped like a bent thimble. Y/N tossed in their sleeping bag, trying to find a comfortable position.
Theyâd almost started dozing off whenâ
CRASH.
THUD.
Y/N shot upright. "what theââ
Outside, loud stomps... a flower pot fell off the windowsill. Somewhere in the distance, a sheep screamed.
Veena burst through the door, hair wild, holding a tote-bag. âHeâs SNAPPINâ. Rockyâs having a NIGHT-TIME EPISODE. Itâs happening again!!â
"WHAT, IS HE GOING TO END US ALL, IS HE GOING TO EAT US!?" Y/N started to scream dramatically.
"No silly, he's just on a rampage from time to time, even tho the last episode he has ended up with a few broken ribs for Oliver, we just need to try and calm him down" Patty said as she walked down the stairs, tying a robe around her waist.
"ok, so how do you plan to calm him down this time?"
Patty shrugged, unfazed, as another loud BANG echoed from the valley. âWe throw yarn at him until he finishes his episode.â
âTHATâS the plan!?â Y/N shouted. âYâall donât have a bat or likeâtranquilizer cupcakes or something?!â
Veena was already stuffing colorful yarn balls into a tote bag like a baseball pitcher preparing for war. âNope. We improvise. And alsoâcupcakes are for after.â
Patty pointed dramatically. âTo the Craft Plaza!"
Outside, Rocky was stomping around with one eye popped out of its socket. He howled, swinging a garden gnome like a club.
Y/N ducked behind a barrel. âWhat in the Looney Tunes is this manâs problem?!â
Oliver appeared from behind a bush, hair messy holding his hat to his chest. âOkay, okay, I have a plan. Itâs dumb. But it worked once before.â
âDoes it involve getting body-slammed?â Y/N asked flatly.
âNo,â Oliver said. âWellâa little. But listen, we need to lure Rocky to my barn, Veena and Patty are going to make nets so there and we can trap him, so who's going to get chased by him?"
Everyone was silent... silently looking at Y/N. "No, nuh uh, not in a million years am I going to be chased, MAYBE AND MOST LIKELY, to my death by that."
Everyone went to the barn to secure the net to some trees around the area, while Y/N was chased down by none other than Rocky.
Y/N ran like their life depended on it, because it kind of did.
âTHIS IS SO STUPID!â they screamed, dodging the gnome Rocky picked up. âI DON'T EVEN LIVE HERE!â
âRUN FASTER!â Veena shouted from the treetops, holding two balls of yarn like twin grenades. âWeâre almost ready!â
âDEFINE ALMOSTâAAAAHH!â
Y/Nâs lungs were on fire.
âWHY IS HE SO FAST?!â they screamed, ducking as Rocky hurled a mailbox like it weighed nothing. âHEâS BUILT LIKE A TRUCK BUT RUNS LIKE A MOTORCYCLE!â
From behind a tree, Oliver yelled, âJust a little farther! Youâre doing amazing!â
âTHATâS EASY FOR YOU TO SAY, YOUâRE NOT BEING HUNTED!â
Y/N turned the corner, Oliver waving like a crazy man. âThrough the laundry lines! Trust me!â
Y/N dove under a row of floral bedsheets, accidentally getting slapped in the face by someoneâs polka-dot bloomers.
"THIS IS THE MOST CARTOONISH EVENT THAT CAN EVER HAPPEN RIGHT NOW AND I AM NOT OK WITH IT"
As Y/N tried to take the bloomers of their face, Rocky caught up to them. Slowing down, breathing hard, staring right in their eyes...
"You better look at me with BOTH eyes is you want to chase me like a lunatic, yeah, yeah GET THAT EYE BACK IN YO SOCKET"
Rocky was dumbfounded, mouth open, picking up his eye, putting it back where it belongs.
BOING.
Veena and Patty dropped the net.
Silence.
Y/N flopped to the grass, gasping. âI. Am suing. All of you. Emotionally.â
âCongrats. You just survived your first Threadville Rampage.â Patty said with a proud smile.
âNext time,â Y/N wheezed, âIâm leading the cupcake party.â
âNext time?â Oliver grinned. âSo youâre staying?â
Y/N remained silent, looking up at the stars.
Oliver ran over and knelt beside them. âIn any case, you did it. We did it.â
âI want a medal and a juice box.â
He laughedâsoft and warmâand reached into his satchel. âOkay, it's no medal, but⊠I brought this.â
He held out a tiny packet of strawberry candies. The old-lady kind that were wrapped to look like actual strawberries.
Y/N stared at him, chest still rising and falling from the run. âCandy?â
âI panicked and grabbed the first thing I saw in Pattyâs kitchen,â Oliver said, offering one with a sheepish smile. âThought you deserved something sweet.â
Y/N blinked, then took the candy, their fingers brushing his. âThanks⊠That was actually kind of sweet.â
Oliverâs cheeks turned pink. âWell, you were kind of heroic.â
