You’re so…” June said, searching for the right word.

“Pathetic,” Greta jumped in.

“I didn’t say that!” June tried.

“You didn’t have to.” Greta frowned. She looked June up and down as she approached her, studying her fox sweatshirt and the shaggy red bob that always fell in her eyes. “So, you got a name, Haircut?”

“I’m June.”

“Hello, June,” Steve said. “My name is—”

“Steve,” June replied. “I know who you are.”

Gus looked genuinely excited. “You know who we are?”

“I didn’t think anyone still remembered…” Cooper said a little sadly.

“You guys are the wonder in Wonderland,” June said. “Or at least you were… What happened to this place?”

Boomer sat up and rubbed his eyes. He’d just caught the last bit of the conversation, and now he was staring at June, his face serious. “The Darkness happened.…” He nodded to the dark cloud hanging over the other side of the park. “It came when Clockwork Swings began to slow. And brought with it—”

“All right, bring it down,” Greta said, making fun of his serious tone.

“Okay, here we go,” Boomer tried again. “It was a day just like any other here in Wonderland… when the strangest thing happened: Clockwork Swings, the heart of the park, came to a dead stop. And that’s when we first saw it: the Darkness. It brought an evil that transformed the Wonder Chimp dolls into an army of Chimpanzombies. Every day since, the chimps have waged war, tearing apart the park and feeding it piece by piece into the Darkness… never to be seen again.”

June glanced around at the park. Many of the rides had giant sections missing from them. There was wreckage piled along the main path. “There was nothing you could do? Not even Peanut?” she asked. Then she realized that he was missing. “Where is Peanut?”

“He ventured out on his own to try and restart Clockwork Swings by hand,” Boomer explained.

“Why didn’t he use his magic?” June asked.

“He just said that he knew restarting Clockwork Swings was the only way to bring the life back into Wonderland. But…” Boomer trailed off, unable to go on.

June had to put the pieces of the story together herself. As Peanut crossed the bridge to the far side of the park, he was swarmed by the Chimpanzombies. He hadn’t been seen since.

“We lost any hope of turning Clockwork Swings back on and one day restoring the park to all its former glory,” Steve said sadly.

“Clockwork Swings…” June whispered to herself. She pulled the piece of blueprint from her pocket and studied it. It had the picture of her and her mom on it, but it also had part of the blueprint for Clockwork Swings. The design showed how all the pieces worked.

“Hey! Whatcha got?” Gus asked. He yanked the paper out of her hands. “It’s a blueprint… of the park?”

“Seems like Little Miss Muffet graffitied her name on it,” Cooper said as June grabbed the paper back. He was short and yellowish brown, with whiskers that curled at the ends.

“It’s not graffiti,” she said.
