The Invasion

Winnie made a mad dash for Hugo’s closet and slammed the door shut.

Hugo and Gigi looked at each other.

Hugo shrugged.

Gigi shrugged back.

They both knew that Winnie was very dramatic.

“By the way, who’s invading us?” Hugo called to Winnie.

“An army of Sasquatches with unicorn horns on their heads!” Winnie called back.

“Do they have sparkly rainbow tails, too?” Hugo asked.

Gigi giggled.

“Ha, ha, ha!” Winnie shouted angrily. “You two better come in here and hide if you know what’s good for you.”

“We’re fine out here, thanks,” Hugo said. “Anyway, we’ve never seen a Sasquatch unicorn before.”

“A Squatchicorn,” Gigi suggested.

And of course that made them laugh even harder. Winnie popped her head out of the closet and glared at them.

“Well, if you two don’t believe me, why don’t you just go outside and see for yourselves?” Then she shut herself back in the closet.

Hugo and Gigi looked at each other.

“Why not?” said Gigi.

They marched out of the bedroom, into the living room, and opened the front door.

Walking up the passageway outside Hugo’s apartment were two Sasquatches whom Hugo and Gigi had never seen before. And sprouting out of each of their foreheads was an honest-to-goodness unicorn horn.
