The young girl filled with happiness and laughter as she chased the red balloon around the backyard. She chased it with nothing better to do but she found joy in it. The balloon went over the fence and the young girl, Lucy, went through the gate and followed it. She chased it, determined to catch the balloon. She followed it across Maple Street, crossed the road to get to Penny Street and then followed it through a tunnel. It was a long tunnel but it finally ended. She exited the tunnel and a man outside of a small shop caught her balloon for her.
"Hey mister, can I get my balloon back please?" Said Lucy.
"Why of course dear. My name is George. What are you doing way out here by yourself?" The man asked.
"Well, I chased my balloon and somehow I ended up here. I'm Lucy by the way. Where am I?" Lucy said.
"You're in Magic Town of course." George said excitedly.
Lucy visited a mini sculpture town called Magic Town about a year ago, but there's no way she could end up in a sculpture town.
"Magic Town?" Lucy asked very confused.
"Yes!" George said happily. "And welcome to it!"
Lucy could not understand how she ended up in Magic Town. She gazed at the town and confusion turned into awe. The town, full of beautiful and lively people, put a sparkle in her eye. Everyone in the town appeared joyful and greeted each other as they crossed paths. As she gazed down the streets she saw shops filled with doughnuts, shops with candy and so much more. George noticed her awe towards Magic Town.
He smiled and said "Would you like to take a tour?"
"Oh yes I would like to take a tour!" Lucy said with excitement As they walked, Lucy fell in love with the city. The people, the buildings, the sights, the smells, everything appeared just perfect.
Then Lucy asked with curiosity, "Will the town always appear this perfect?"
"Sadly it will not" Said George. His grin turned into a frown after saying this. He looked at Lucy sadly.
"I don't understand. What will happen to Magic Town?" Lucy asked with her smile also fading.
"Well as you know, Magic Town is a town made of sculptures, at least to the people on the outside." George stated.
Lucy nodded.
"You see, the people on the outside do not come to see the exhibit as often as they used to. And that means not as much money for the owner. So Edwin, the person who rented the building to the owner of Magic Town, is shutting the exhibit down." George said sadly.
Lucy was in shock.
"How could they do this? What will happen to you guys? How do we stop them?" She said hysterically.
