Chapter 7

The 4d stared at Dopey, wondering if he was joking or not, but the look on Dopey's face showed he was being sincere. 

 "Well, then what are we waiting for? Lets go get him!" Doc exclaimed. 

 "Heigh Ho!" 

 "But, why didn't he just show us in the first place?" Sleepy questioned. 

 Back at the cottage, Bashful was curled up on the couch, sadly moaning to himself, when he heard to door open again. He tensed himself for the Glooms, but instead, saw 5 of the 7d. 

  The shy cat smiled, but then realized they probably still didn't know he was the cat, and frowned again. 

 Dopey then ran up to Bashful, and gave him a hug. Bashful was surprised. 

 "Bashful, we know you're the cat." Happy cheered. 

 Bashful was more than overjoyed, and purred happily. 

 "Did the glooms do this to you?" Sneezy asked, and sneezed as well. Being around cats made his nose very itchy.  

Bashful nodded his head. 

 "You poor thing, but why didn't you tell us? Dopey can understand cat." Sleepy commented. 

 Bashful sighed, and crawled over to one of the glooms spare wands. 

 "The glooms cast a spell so you cant talk to us?" 

 Bashful went back towards the 5d, and sadly nodded his head. 

 "You'd would of think it'd be obviously suspicious that an animal can't speak." Doc said.  

 Dopey shook his head, saying that animals that never learned to communicate with other animals might not have learned how to speak. 

 "Oh..." 

 Happy then picked up Bashful, and started walking towards the door. 

 Bashful shrieked, and jumped out of the smiling dwarfs arms. 

 "What's wrong Bashful? Don't you want to leave?" 

 Bashful nodded his head, but gave them a sad look. "The glooms cast a spell so I cant escape." 

 The others looked at Bashful in confusion, so Bashful sighed, and walked to the door. But right before he got out, a powerful burst of magic hit him, almost knocking him out. 

 The others gasped, and went to Bashfuls' side. 

 And at the same time, the projector on Docs machine turned off...

"We've been at this for AGES!" And we STILL cant find that stupid Queen and her cloak!" Hildy yelled angrily.  

 "Aw, don't sweat my wicked, we'll find her!" Grim said determinedly. 

 Hildy just rolled her eyes. 

 And then, she saw Queen Delightful disappear. 

 "Wait, how did she disappear?" The goofy warlock asked in confusion." 

"I don't know!!...." Then it hit her. "It was a trick by those wretched 7d! They somehow made some sort of projection of their stupid queen, and made it look like it was real!" Hildy hissed.  

 "OH!!!!.....what?"   

 "Never mind. But its going to take us AGES to get home! Considering I didn't bring my teleportation wand..." 

  And with that, the wicked coupled started to fly back to their cottage. 

******* 

  "Bashful? Are you okay?" Sleepy asked worriedly. 

 With the little energy he had, Bashful nodded his head "yes" and gave painful meow. 

 Happy picked him up, and gave him some comforting strokes. "There, there, you're safe now." He said soothingly. 

 The shy cat gave a weak smile, and started purring. The others started to giggle. But, the giggling stopped when they realized they still had no clue how to help Bashful escape. 

 "We could just take off the collar.." Sneezy suggested, but Bashful meowed frantically, symbolizing "That a bad idea!" 

  They kept on thinking for a few minutes, until Bashful seemed to have started to get a bit fussy. 

 "What's up with him?" Sleepy asked, and then his question was answered. 

 Bashful had curled his tail around his face in embarrassment, and Dopey went into the kitchen to fetch the kitten chow for Bashful. When he got back, he put the chow in a bowl, and gave it to Bashful, who started eating the disgusting excuse for food. 

  The 5d were still thinking up idea's, when they heard a scream. 

 "GET THIS STUPID PEGASUS OFF OF ME!!!!!" 

 The 6d recognized that voice, it was none other than Grumpy's. 

 They went outside, to see the miniature pegasus on top of Grumpy, and the Crystal Ball glaring at him. 

 "You're so FAKE! Faker than the sleepy-dwarfs plush!" 

 That line seemed to trigger something in Sleepy, and Mr. Hicklepips, who gave the Crystal Ball a kick, which sent him rolling. 

 "Mr. Hicklepips is TOTALLY real!!!!" Sleepy yelled at the green ball. 

 "Id love to stay and chat, but it seemed my time has...KICKED the bucket!.....AHH!!!!" The joke-cracking ball screamed, as he rolled down the hill. All the yelling then scared the pegasus off of Grumpy.  

 "FOR THE LOVE OF CHEESE! THANK GOSH!" Grumpy yelled, before ripping off the costume, showing his regular outfit underneath. 

 "What the heck happened Grumpy?" Happy asked. 

 Grumpy's face then turned disturbed. "You DON'T want to know!!!! All the rainbows, puppies, animatronics holding cupcakes(FNaF reference)." 

 "Animatronics?" Doc questioned. 

 "What is an animatronic?" Dopey whistled. 

 Grumpy just shuddered in response, before asking "Have you found Bashful?" 

 Sleepy nodded his head, he had seemed to calm down. "Yeah...but he's a cat now, and he cant escape because the Glooms cast a spell on him to prevent him from doing so." 

 Grumpy stared at Sleepy for a second. "He got turned into a CAT?! I expected much worse...." 

 "We don't have time for this 7d, we have to figure out a way to get Bashful out, before the machine breaks..." 

 "Too late." Happy said, pointing at the machine, and the projector was turned off. 

 "Uh oh..." Doc said. 

 Happy then patted Doc's back. "Well, at least it cant get worse." 

 Then the 7d heard the Glooms cackling in the distance. 

 "Okay then, I stand corrected..."
