The start of a new world for my stories, this story includes myself, sournote103 and our friend bullinova!

An attic that's far larger on the inside than it should, well who would've guessed that this attic has some magic in it. And it's set its gaze on an otter and a dog who're in need of a new perspective on life...

I hope you all enjoy, I would love to hear what you all think! ^-^


"Hey, thanks for the help Rerim. I've been meaning to clean this place up for weeks but I haven't had time." Tiran explained as he poked a stick with a hook on it up into a hole and pulled down a flight of stairs, "Here we go." The otter winced as a plume of dust poured out of the attic. Both of them started to cough and sneeze as the dust settled.

"Well, shall we go up?" Rerim asked as he wiped away some dust left on his nose, Tiran nodded as he wiped dust from his eyes. Walking up the steps, the dog and the otter walked up the stairs. "Rickety stairs..." Rerim muttered, Tiran nodded and wiped away some dirt from his eyes as they stepped into the dark attic.

They couldn't see anything but what was directly in front of the staircase, "Here, let me hit the lights..." TIran muttered as he dragged his paw across the wall and found the lightswitch. Flicking it on, they both blinked as an immensely bright light turned on. "Ouch! I forgot, my dad installed LED lights up here."

"You're just trying to destroy my eyes tonight, aren't you Tiran?" Rerim muttered jokingly as he rubbed his eyes once more. Pulling his paws away from his face, Rerim's jaw dropped as he saw how large the attic was. "Good grief, did you make this room inside of the TARDIS?" The space instead of the attic was ridiculous, it was far wider than the dog had imagined. Even with the accumlated junk of the years, it was as if they were walking through a basketball court.

Tiran laughed, "Yeah, that's what I asked when I came up here with the renter. Every person who's ever been up here notices it too, this space is far too wide to be in a regular house. But the walls are absolutely impervious to any modification, well... except for paintings. We can still hang up things on the walls, but there is no way to knock one out to see what's on the other side." He then took Rerim by the paw and led the dog through the space towards the center of the attic, looking around the pair saw aisles of accumulated junk.

Rerim looked around in awe, "How long did it take you to clean this place up before?"

Counting off on his fingers, Tiran mouthed a few numbers before smiling at his friend. "Well the last time we did this, it took us over a week to clean up a half of this place. And from what I remember, that was over three years ago!" He said cheerfully.

Rerim staggered, he realized how much time it was going to take for them to complete the task. "Yo... you're paying me how much again?"

"Five thousand, I told you that this place is big." Tiran said with a smile.

Rerim rubbed his eyes, "Yeah... yeah you did. Well, we'd best be getting started then..." He muttered as he started towards one of the aisles with his friend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The pair was sorting through the junk meticulously, they were often times stopped by interesting pieces of history found amidst the junk. "Wow, I didn't see this last time..." Tiran muttered in shock as he held up what looked to be a magic wand, "Think it works?" Tiran asked with a grin on his face.

"I wouldn't try... With how big this place is, if that thing really does work you might shrink this place down to a regular size..." Rerim muttered, though he couldn't deny how excited he was at the prospect of a real magic wand.

"Yeah... I guess you're right." Tiran said slightly dejected as he set the wand down, walking away the pair didn't notice the tip of the wand glowing a dazzling rainbow before fizzling out.

Cleaning up the walls and floors of the attic, Rerim noticed an odd sight as he was walking around. "Hey, Tiran. Why are there other door up here?"

Tiran looked back with a mischievous grin, "I'm glad you noticed. I asked the same thing of the realtor, nobody really knows. All I know is that the door leading to my house is the only one that opens, the rest are locked. And none of them have keyholes. Though I have to say..." Tiran looked at the doors with a look of distrust, "I've thought I heard people in the attic before, I heard footsteps and when I tried to enter the attic the door was locked tight. But when I got up in the morning, it was unlocked again."

Rerim shivered, "That's creepy..." Tiran nodded, and they continued to work. Rerim snuck away a few times to try to open the doors, but none of them would open. He did note that no two were alike, some of the doors were old rotting wood doors, while others were locker doors like those that would be in a gym. "This is really weird." Rerim said.

As the pair worked around the room, cleaning up dirty spots here and there day after day, Rerim got into the habit of trying to open the doors. But after five days of trying them, he gave up. Tiran had whistled as they got to the halfway point of cleaning up the attic, "Wow, seven days and we're halfway done. Give it another week and we'll be all done bud!"

Rerim smiled and nodded, he couldn't wait to see more of what the attic had in store for them. But what he didn't know, was that the room was planning something special for its guests.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was wednesday when the room decided to treat its guests to its magic. Tiran and Rerim were grunting as they were dusting off some of the older memorbilia, "I don't think I ever want to smell pledge again after this..." TIran muttered in annoyance.

"Yeah, I know what you mean." Rerim said as he threw his towel down, the pair had been working late into the night. It was eleven, and they were trying to get as much as they could done. Walking down the hall to get more done, they both jumped in shock as a bunch of junk suddenly fell of its own accord to reveal an old tube TV. "Whoa!" Rerim shouted in shock at the sudden fall of the junk.

"Whoa..." Tiran muttered as he walked towards the TV, he'd never seen one like it before. It appeared to be an old black and white tube TV, but it carried an odd aura about it. The otter didn't notice the slight black outline to the box, but he wouldn't of minded it even if he had.

Walking towards the TV, the pair looked it over and saw that it had no visible cords. "Huh. I guess it's busted." Rerim muttered, but Tiran tried the power knob anyways and jumped in shock along with the dog as the TV turned on to reveal a diaper ad. "How did you do that?" Rerim asked in confusion.

"I dunno, but my question is where is this ad from? The nineteen eighties?" He sniggered as he watched the odd antics of a toonish looking adult tiger wearing a diaper, "It's a bit weird that an adult would be wearing diapers though..." Tiran muttered.

"Come on Tiran, it's a cartoon. It's not like it's real or anything." Rerim said, the pair laughed but they found themselves continuing to watch the strange ad. As the Tiger did odd antics, they both laughed as he fell onto his padded bum and bounced right back up as if he were a bouncy ball. Had the pair been thinking, they would've realized that the TV shouldn't of been connected to any channel as it had no cable connections but they were enthralled by the black and white ad.

Watching the tiger, they noted that the tiger had spirals in his eyes but they didn't really pay it much heed, they just assumed that it was a part of his design. As the pair sat down they chuckled and laughed as the ad went on and on, not realizing that it was far longer than any ad had any right to be. A jingle kept on playing in the background, but they didn't really think anything of it as they were too excited on seeing what happened next to the goofy tiger. "Toon Diapers, they're the tooniest. They'll make you go toon toon toon!"

The pair were so enthralled, they didn't notice their colors starting to drain out of their fur and spirals starting to appear in their eyes. "Golly gosh, this is the best ad ever!" Rerim said, not really realizing the lingo he had just spurted.

"It's really keen, isn't it Rerim?" Tiran said cheerfully, as they watched more and more they felt themselves forgetting the colorful world outside and only thinking about the cheerful thoughts of the black and white toon world. Soon both were toons just like the tiger in the television, sporting white gloves and sporting thick black outlines they were giggle happy as diapers appeared on their bodies and were pinned up by an invisible force.

Soon the tiger bounced up to the TV and looked out at Tiran and Rerim, "Hey you guys! You're gonna be late for the new ad, come on in!" The pair stood up and giggled as they bounced into the TV naturally.

"Gee whiz, it would've been bad if we had missed this!" Tiran said as the trio hopped and bounced towards their destination.

"Yeah! I couldn't imagine missing out on such an awesome ad like this!" Rerim said with a grin of glee, and the trio of toons went off to perform as they remembered themselves doing for all of their lives.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The TV was covered up by junk again as the room locked up the door to Tiran's house once more, knowing that the house would be cleaned out by its magic soon enough. There was a clicking noise as one of the doors opened, it couldn't wait to test another magical spell on this new visitor...
