Once upon a time there lived two pink and blue rabbits named Mike and GD. They lived in a cotton candy world filled with milk and cookies and bubblegum on the other side. They saw a house made of cookie bricks. They went inside. It was the house of a pencil named Kila. Kila was skinny as can be. She loved to chew bubblegum. She was friends with GD and said, “What up.” He was like, “This is my friend MKL.” They all went downstairs to the shopping market and bought three chains that said “GKL”. They all lived together and became best friends.
