"Nick, what are you doing here? Didn't we agree not to come over?" Amy asked, her eyes filled with doubt.
"Oh, here? Well, sis, I was really scared at that time, and the puppet said it would take me to a safe place, so I followed it here... Look at that TV, it's playing our favorite cartoons, and the popcorn is really delicious too."
Nick continued to focus on the TV as if he was completely unaware of how serious the situation was.
"Yeah, it's beautiful here, but we still need to go home. Aren't you worried that Mom and Dad won't be able to find us?" Amy tried to draw her brother's attention back, but she could feel that Nick was already deeply engrossed in this world.
Nick finally looked up and glanced at Amy, then around at the surroundings. "But, sis, this place feels really safe, and it seems like it's prepared specifically for us."
"Prepared for us? Have you considered that this might be a trap?"
Nick showed a puzzled expression, "Trap? Why would you say that?"
He casually turned back with a smile on his lips, "Oh, Amy, this show is really interesting. You should come and watch too. After all, I don't feel like going back to that thunderstormy house right now."
Amy Although feeling uneasy inside, she still sat on the sofa, watching TV with Nick.
Not long after, a magnificent figure entered their sight.
Laura, the mother of the puppet in this world, was wearing a long violet dress, and the hem of the dress gently swayed with her steps.
She exudes a warm aura, like a pair of wool slippers that instantly warm your heart when you put them on.
"Children, long time no see! I've missed you all so much. I have some good news today - I'm taking you to see a Broadway show. How does that sound?" Marionette Laura asked with a charming smile.
"Performing on Broadway? Really? That's amazing!" The two siblings responded almost simultaneously, as if their curiosity had been ignited.
Without giving Amy and Nick much time to hesitate or think, Marionette Laura quickly pulled them out of their comfortable little nest.
Two children were led to a luxurious sedan, feeling not the uneasy atmosphere of the new house and mysterious tree, but an unprecedented grandeur. Before long, the sedan stopped in front of a magnificent theater.
"Wow, look at this theater!" Nick exclaimed, his mouth hanging open in astonishment.
The appearance of the theater is like a palace, and the interior decoration is even more magnificent. The entire lobby is meticulously constructed with deep red velvet and gold decorations, with every detail showcasing exquisite craftsmanship and aesthetics.
Amy sighed, "I never thought that architecture could reach such artistic heights."
The high-hanging crystal chandelier is like stars embedded in the night sky, shining brilliantly and illuminating the entire theater.
There are also various intricate reliefs and murals on the ceiling, with every detail carefully attended to. The high-hanging crystal lights shine brightly, illuminating the entire theater.
On stage, the retired Broadway actor Alan was already waiting there. He seemed to have become younger, exuding a kind of vitality.
At that moment, the band started playing, and Alan began his performance. Every movement, every expression was so delicate, breathtaking. Especially when he started the flying scene, the audience couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
"Look, he can actually fly!" Nick exclaimed.
Indeed, puppet Alan displayed an incredible flying act on stage. His feet left the ground and gently floated in the air, as if he truly had wings.
"This is simply incredible!" Amy couldn't help but exclaim.
"It's truly outstanding!" Nick echoed once again.
After the performance, Amy and Nick hurried to the backstage, hoping to get the signature of puppet Alan. They weaved through a passionate crowd of audience, full of anticipation.
"Alan, your performance was amazing! Can you sign something for us?" Nick asked excitedly.
Alan turned around with a warm smile on his face and said, "Of course, I can, kids. You are so adorable."
He lightly signed his name on the souvenirs brought by the two children, then smiled and looked down at them, "I hope you will always remember the wonderful time tonight."
"We definitely will, thank you, Alan!" Amy said gratefully.
At that moment, the voice of Marionette Laura came from behind, "Children, it's getting late, we should go home."
Amy and Nick waved goodbye to Alan with reluctance, and followed Marionette Laura out of the theater. The night was deep, and the lights outside the theater flickered in the darkness, creating a dreamy atmosphere.
On the way, both children were immersed in the wonderful performance they had just seen, filled with admiration for the art.
Back at the Puppet family, the dinner table was already filled with a sumptuous feast, with a delightful aroma wafting through the air. At dinner time, Amy and Nick sat at the table, and Puppet dad Jack joined them.
Just like in a high-end restaurant, the table is exquisitely crafted from oak, covered with a white tablecloth embroidered with gold edges, and adorned with classic silver tableware and crystal wine glasses on both sides. The table is filled with various delicacies. Under the light, the food on the table looks even more enticing, from tender grilled meat to colorful vegetables, and sweet desserts, each one making the mouth water.
Marionette Laura served a plate of Italian risotto, where the rice, carefully cooked, has absorbed the essence of chicken and mushrooms, resulting in a solid and rich texture.
Next is the French duck breast, with tender meat stewed in red wine, emitting an intoxicating aroma.
Finally, there are some delicacies that seem to come from distant exotic lands, such as delicious seafood and tropical fruits with fresh and vibrant colors.
"Thank you for accompanying me to the Broadway show today. This has been the happiest day for me." Marionette Laura's smile was like the sunshine of summer, warm and radiant.
Nick's lips curled up, revealing a sunshine-like smile. "Actually, we are also very happy to have this experience. Thank you, Laura's mother."
As the final dessert of the dinner - a tiramisu sprinkled with gold foil - was brought to the table, Amy and Nick felt as if they were in a dreamlike world.
The dessert is placed on an exquisitely decorated porcelain plate, with delicate flowers and winding vines painted along the edge. The silverware on the table glistens as if it could start dancing in the moonlight at any moment.
At this moment, Laura and Jack are discussing matters regarding the garden, their voices not at all disrupting the dreamy atmosphere.
"Little brother, how about we go for a walk?" Amy turned her head and looked at Nick with a look that only siblings could understand.
Nick hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded, "Okay, sister, let's go to the backyard."
Two people walked through the narrow corridor and arrived outdoors. The night sky in the backyard looked like a large oil painting created with brilliant colors, with stars dotted in between, adding a sense of mystery and depth.
And there stood the big tree right in front of them, its gnarled branches appearing almost magical in the moonlight, giving off an unsettling feeling.
Suddenly, a voice broke the quiet night.
"Good evening, Amy and Nick!" Wearing an elegant blue suit, his eyes were blue, and his smile revealed a kind of heartwarming innocence.
Golden hair and dazzling blue eyes, despite being a puppet, have an incredible charm. He is the puppet boy I met last time - Jis, a young boy about the same age as Amy.
"I saw you in the backyard and wanted to come over and say hello," Jis said gracefully, but his smile was a bit excessive, making people feel uncomfortable.
"Of course, nice to meet you," Nick also said, although he felt a hint of wariness towards this suddenly appearing unfamiliar puppet.
"Well, nice to meet you," Amy pursed her lips, with a slight smile at the corner of her mouth, but there was an imperceptible uneasiness in her eyes.
She couldn't help but wonder why this puppet boy had suddenly appeared in their backyard, and why he was dressed so formally at this late hour. His blue eyes shimmered subtly in the moonlight, reminiscent of the tones in old photographs.
"Oh, by the way, there's a really cool place nearby. Are you interested in going there together tomorrow?" Jis continued, his blue eyes seemingly hiding a layer of mystery.
Nick's eyes immediately lit up, "Cool place? Where is it?"
Jis smiled at Amy and replied, "Well, it's a little surprise, can't reveal it, are you both willing to accept the surprise?"
Nick looked at Amy, who seemed a bit hesitant. Nick said, "It sounds intriguing, but we need to know more details."
Jis took a deep breath and began to explain, "Well, I can tell you that it's a forgotten place. There's an ancient site and a tunnel covered in vines. You might find some unexpected surprises there."
Amy's eyes narrowed unconsciously, and her intuition told her that things seemed more complicated than they appeared on the surface. She asked, "Why would that place be forgotten?"
Jis smiled slightly and replied, "Because not everyone can see the beauty there."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jis slowly took out a small box from his pocket, carefully opened it, and inside was a necklace set with a sapphire.
He walked up to Amy, locked eyes with her, and said, "And then I thought, this would be a very suitable gift for you."
Amy was shocked by this sudden gesture, but she didn't immediately accept it. "This is a very beautiful necklace, but why are you giving it to me?"
"Because I think this necklace suits you very well," Jis replied.
Amy took the necklace handed to her by Jis and lowered her head to let him put it on for her. The sapphire emitted a soft glow in the moonlight, tightly encircling her neck.
"So, the day after tomorrow at three in the afternoon, let's meet here and then go to that mysterious place together," Jis said.
After the three of them agreed, Jis slowly walked towards the exit of the courtyard.
Nick watched Jis's figure disappear into the darkness, then turned to his sister Amy and said, "Sister, why are you the only one who doesn't think there's something wrong with that puppet boy, and even accepted the necklace he gave you?"
Amy frowned slightly and replied impatiently, "Nick, I am your sister, and I understand certain things better than you do."
Nick was somewhat displeased and retorted, "Understand what? Accepting a gift from a strange puppet boy?"
"Nick, you're still too young. There are some things you don't understand, so it's better not to speak too much," Amy glared at him, then looked away as if pondering something more important.
Nick sighed, sounding a bit disappointed. "Fine, sis. Since you trust him, I'll trust him too. But if something goes wrong, I won't say 'I warned you.'"
Amy rolled her eyes at Nick and said, "Stop pouring cold water on it."
Nick changed the subject, his eyes shining with anticipation, "Let's look forward to the adventure the day after tomorrow!"
"Yes," Amy responded with a smile, but deep down she still felt somewhat uneasy.
Afterwards, the two of them passed through the small door and returned to their true home.
