There could have been all sorts of reasons — they weren’t used to climbing the tree from the ground up or they were dizzy from their quick escape or the wind had a little pixie dust in it — but they couldn’t find the passage, at least for a very long time. And when they did, it didn’t look right. They weren’t even in the same tree. Ghoulie checked his combination compass, GPS tracker, and odor analyzer and gave them a direction. Pretty soon, though, it was clear that they were going the wrong way. They could tell they were in the same neighborhood, though; the houses were just as strange. The one they were now passing was off-the-chart strange. It had a broad, flat roof that was almost completely covered with trees!

Beamer was totally befuddled. How could anyone plant a forest on top of a house? Where would the roots go? The trees weren’t all that big, but the canopy of leaves was pretty dense. Even with shafts of light from the setting sun prying into every nook and cranny, the forest interior looked very murky.

This was no time to explore. Night was looming in the east, and they were already late for supper. Ghoulie tried to call home, but his cell phone was dead. As it turned out, so were Beamer’s and Scilla’s. Good grief! They couldn’t be more than a half mile from home. Before they had time to think about it, things became even more complicated.

A stream of moths suddenly poured out from the forest and crossed directly in front of them. On second glance, Beamer wasn’t sure they were moths. It was really too early in the year for moths, and these were kind of big, the size of a small bird. They were almost white, but not quite. Actually, they were a lot of different colors — blue, green, pink, and yellow — all just slightly off from white. They were so bright that they seemed to glow. Come to think of it, they were doing just that — glowing.
