This is the story of Sid, who woke up one day to find that he had become a large head.


Part 7. (at long last)





It took a while for Sid to be filled in with the events he had missed. But their journey to find a piece of this The Rob, gave them the time they needed for both the story and Sid's own thoughts.

So much had happened and it seemed as though it had happened all in one day. He felt that it would be hard for anyone to feel like this.

The pig and the small pink fluffy thing hardly spoke to Sid which made him rather uneasy. But after all had he not become some evil being to them not that long ago? He decided to prove himself to them. It wasn't his fault all this had happened was it? But his companions were not unwelcoming. The pig still joked and the small pink fluffy thing was quite talkative. They were his only friends in this world and he was greatful for their company. And so the small pink fluffy thing flew, the pig waddled and Sid rolled along. On the journey Sid had his first proper night in this world and it made things easier for him.


It was apon the second day of this strange trek that they heard an odd sound. It was like a child's playful cries yet it was adult and echoed in such a way that it cause confusion to all in the small party. In the heavily forrested area it was almost creepy yet oddly calming.

"It's a piece!!" the pig squealed happily. "We've found it!"

"We can't catch it this form," the small pink fluffy thing said and turned into a tall woman clothed in some brown rag. It's voice even changed. The pig followed his example and transformed into smaller very thin man in a light brown rag.

"Funny isn't it," he chuckled. "That I become a pig."

Sid starred. The expig-man chuckled again. "This is the real us. Expecting something different?"

"Why don't you turn into your real forms all the time?" Sid asked confused as always.

"It's takes a lot effort," the exsmall pink fluffy thing-woman sighed. "Besides, flying is fun," she added with more humour.

"I wonder what you look like Sid?" the man asked with his grin.

Sid had to grin too. "Not much of a looker I'm affraid," he sighed.

"Why so negative?" the woman asked.

The man laughed. "Are we going to catch this piece or just have a nice chat?"



The man and the woman wondered through nearby bushes and Sid rolled after them. The sounds of play led them on and on through the forrest. There was no sign of any life except trees. The forrest was empty and the only sounds came from the piece and the wee group of three.

There! There was a strange light through the trees. A white glow. The sound louder. As the group approached a small child could be seen holding and slashing a stick obviously in some fantasy adventure of his own. It was this that gave off the glow.

Sid just looked at it. It was just like the one in the cage he had seen before. But this one produced light. Was there a difference between each peice or had something happened to the last?

While Sid was thinking these thoughts both the man and the woman were slowly sneeking up on the piece. It showed no clear sign of being aware of them. The man gave a sudden shout and charged at the piece which fled in a panic towards the woman. She grabbed the peice and carried it while it stuggled and screamed. The noise was awful and it affected all of them. The light flickered violently.

"Are you sure that's how it should be done?" Sid called.

The man ran to help the woman and called back, "Yes. It's not entirely alive not entirely a person. It's not really anything. I'll explain later," he added after seeing how confused Sid was. This world was too much for him. The woman and the man brought the piece towards Sid and set it down. It suddenly stopped screaming and began to play again as if nothing had happened. "There you see now?" the man said happily.

The piece walked happily towards Sid and touched his rather large nose. There was a sudden burst of light and great pain ran through Sid's er head. So much light he couldn't see and he couldn't move.

"Sid!!" the man and woman called out and tried to remove the piece from Sid. It was no use. They could only affectivly watch the strange event that was taking place before them.

This is the story of Sid, who woke up one day to find that he had become a large head. Part 6


Sid opened his eyes to find a sword being thrust upwards by pair of eyes that would bring the bravest man to tears. He blinked away his shock. What had happened where was he now? Now standing over him was a boy a real boy in this extremly odd world. The sword in the boy's hand was shaking along with the boy's mussels as he readied them for the strike.

Sid was in the flying castle but it was now a ruin and on the ground. He could hear screamings and clangins which seemed to becoming less frequent and slowly stopped all together.

Suddenly the eyes changed from anger to confusion. The boy's whole face changed but the sword remained poised and ready. The boy seemed as lost as Sid was at this moment. He looked down with the sword still held up.

"No it's some kind of trap, I iknow it," the boy thought aloud. He then looked up again. He smiled as if not falling for a joke. "Are you still Lord Diss the Dark?" The boy asked with a voice that matched the grin.

Sid just stayed there not knowing what to do. "Erm... My name is Sidney. Erm.. Sid," He said decidingto play along with this new turn of events along with everything else.

The boy's face changed again. "Sid... The forgotten one." The sword lowered slowly and was dropped. The boy sat down and turned into a turnip. "So it is over then," he sighed.

"What's over?"

The turnip smiled as if in joy. "The war." Sid's blank face gave him the message. "The war that split this world in two. That destroyed all that was once well... nice. That brought extreme order to this world. That shattered The Rob into thousands of pieces across this world giving both sides great powers. That erm. I think that's it."

"Ok then," said Sid wondering how to get away from this rather large vegetable.

"After the defeat of Bill the Happy Bunny he changed back into his normal bunny form with no memory of what had happened. That happened during the famous rescue of the prisoners by the great Jake the Armchair. I don't know the rest. But the crow of the north will be more help. He's in charge of our amry." The turnip then changed back into the boy. "Come on the war's over time to party."

"How'd you change into a boy?" Sid asked hopefully.

"When the powerful Rob was shattered into pieces the power that we were given could turn us into our real forms. Erm... I don't think you can turn back though."



"It was a dark monster that took over your body," the old man wheezed. They were inside the crow's tent. Outside the clouds were making the land a sort of dark purple. The Land of Rob had become a ruined land since this war had begun. Every tree was dead and no grass grew. From inside the tent sounds of a mad celebration could be heard. The old man was the crow in his real form.
"The dark monster once took control of Bill the Happy Bunny before you. With you it must have found the perfect host to carry its self. A new arriveal that no one knew anything about. No one would even give any attention to your strange behaviour for no one knew what you were like to begin with.
It mad you hate Rob by putting you through more random things than most people here experience. That hole in the wall which you described was part of it's plan to study you in more detail. The plan didn't work the way it wanted but it work as it found a new body to take over at the last minute as the great armchair attacked. You just missed that attack. From what you describe you were already under that thing's control."

Sid didn't know what to say to this. "I was just angry with that Rob for sending me here in the first place."

The old man sighed. "Rob didn't send you here. You sent your self. He created this land by an accendent and has tried to keep it from going too far with the wise clock at his side. He only wanted to help us by making our time here go by smootly."

Sid was confused, yet again. "But how did I send myself here?"

"Only The Rob can know that, which brings me to what I must say next. This world is dieing. It will not be long before it is destroyed completely with us all trapped inside it. The only way to save it is to bring back The Rob. The only way to do this is to change the past so the war never happened. If this was still the time of randomness we could open a portal that could send you there but in this time of order we simply can not do that.
"There is a way that we are working on now and will continue after the party. We are searching for the pieces of Rob that are lost in this world. This is one of them." The old man walked to a corner of the tent and dragged a cloth off a cage. Inside was a child no more than 5 years of age. The child looked bored and began to cry. The man quickly pulled the cloth over the cage again. The crying stopped and quiet sounds could be heard of the child going to sleep.
"I'm now going to make you search this world for more pieces. You will not be looking for them alljust one. We have tracked down nearly all of the pieces but we need to catch the rest. We know one is here," the old man pointed to a location on a map on the tent's wall. "With all the pieces together we can return this world back to normal maybe even change the past so it never happened. The world is in order so there is no danger except from that dark monster that took over your body Sid. It vanished when it released you. I'm providing you with two companions that will help you along the way.
"When you catch the piece of Rob do not let it out of your site for it will escape. Return it here at once. Do not trust anyone for the dark monster may have taken over them as well. You will leave at once. Good luck."

Sid rolled out of the tent. The old man's words seemed to have power. He just could not question them. That must have how he's been such a good leader over these people Sid thought.

He stopped rolling and looked. There to meet him were the pig and the small pink fluffy thing.

This is the story of Sid, who woke up one day to find that he had become a large head. Part 5.

It was when the pig looked up at him that he knew this wasn't right. Everything didn't seem right in this so called Land of Rob but he could somehow tell that he wasn't in the woodland anymore but in some sort of copy of it. Even with the sounds of birds, the smell of pine and his little piggy friend was there as it was before but it just didn't seem real somehow. What was it that made him feel this way?

Suddenly the pig chuckled. "I see it happened to you too. I know I'm a pig but a giant head, now that is new." It was now clear what is was that was wrong. This had already happened. Had he gone bad in time? With all that had happened this seemed very likely. He thought he'd play along and see what would happen this time. But it didn't go on much longer.

The whole world seemed to dissapear and the pig changed to that small pink fluffy thing. The woodland changed back to the passage of that castle he was in a few seconds ago. Everything was happening at once and Sid began to wonder if this was a dream, this world was mad and he was quite sick it of it now.

The small pink fluffy thing floated over to him and whispered urgently to him. "I bring word from the arm chair, a rescue is in progress for you."

Sid sighed. He had had enough of this. He now understood why Bill the Happy Bunny wanted revenge on this Rob. What right had this person to send people here against their will and turn them into things. And now this. Bring word from an arm chair? Oh come on. But he might as well follow this small fluff ball as there seemed nothing else to do.

A secret door appeared, coughed, danced a jig then opened to reveal many strange things all moving and talking. There was a toaster, a telephone, a CD, a tennis racket, a balloon and many other things. The pink fluffy thing floated high above them all and spoke. "Prisoners of Bill the Happy Bunny. Jake the ArmChair has come to free you all." To Sid's amazement these house hold goods began to cheer. Each one used to be a person with a life, Sid said to himself. How can they be happy here?

The things began to move down a corridor that sung away to them all. With merry dances and clangings from these things the whole room moved cheerfully along. The noise was not helping Sid's bad temper. He had had enough of all this nonsense and randomness. This had all gone too far. He almost wanted to join Bill's campain.

As if in answer to that thought there came a sound that silenced everything. All the items stopped moving at once. And for a while they just stayed motionless. Then suddenly with many bangs and yells they began to make an atempt at running. Sid looked around to the passage they had just walked down. No longer was it lit and dancing but now it was dark. So very dark. An icy wind was blowing down it growing stronger everysecond. Then the sound again. An icy scream to match the wind. The sounds of the others died and echoed away in his mind for a while. It was growing darker. So dark he could hardly see. Then there it was.

Two white ghosts of eyes were charging at him screaming high pitched and spine chillingly. There was no doubt it was Bill the Happy Bunny after them. Everyone was running in a panic. Fearing for their very lives. But for some reason Sid didn't move. He didn't want to. This rabbit wanted what he wanted. It was his ticket out of this insane world and he now wanted to help in ending all of this and putting a stop to this Rob once and for all before anyone else ended up here.

The eyes raced towards him now at an insane speed charing down the corridor leaving only darkness behind. The cold wind was now a storm banging all sides of Sid. His ears had lost all sound and his eyes could see nothing more than the two empty dead ones that were whizzing towards him faster and faster. The warmth from Sid left and he suddenly felt all of his very soul being sucked out of him. Feeling empty, cold, alone yet happy. An evil smile grew on his face. His eyes grew dead and he looked at nothing anymore. With a single thought he had joined Bill the Happy Bunny and had become just like him. When the eyes reached him he was no longer Sid.

The whole world grew dark around him. Only now did he relise what had happened. Only now did Sid see what he had done. But it was too late.

This is the story of Sid, who one day woke up to find that he had become a large head. Part 4.

What he saw was not the site he had expected. A giant rabbit with glowing orbs for eyes. It's face set in a grin that did not imply humour more insanity yet when looking at both the mouth and eyes as one Sid felt a sinister chill. This rabbit looked possessed by something. Some kind of ghostly like being that made this rabbit stare forwards at eternity and quack like a duck for no reason.

Sid gazed at so called "Bill the Happy Bunny" for what seemed like a long time before anything happened. There was a deep wheezing sound and then a voice to match that came from the direction of Bill but not from him. The quacking stopped instantly. With the voice that followed the whole room seemed to darken. The gold no longer reflecting any light and those two white orbs glowed brighter. "Welcome to this strange new land, Sid. We hope you feel content with your room for you shall be here for a long time. Do not think that you are important. You have been selected randomly for my experiments."

Sid couldn't help but shake. This voice seemed to freeze his very soul. The voice continued. "Rob sent me here and made me suffer in this form. Now with my new power I shall take my revenge and destroy this land. I am destroying his oredered chaos so now it is only a matter of time till this new chaos goes too far and all is lost. Keep this in mind as you return to your room." With that the wheezing stopped, the room regained it's light but the quacking stayed quiet.

The small pink fluffy thing led Sid back to the ledge where night time had moved in with suitcases and holiday photos. While the ledge began it's desent, Sid wondered if this small pink fluffy thing would answer him if he asked a few questions. "Erm...Small pink fluffy thing?" he called.

The small pink fluffy thing looked down at Sid from where he was floating. "Yes?" it said.

"Is it always like this here with large bunnies trying to take control or destroy?"

"Yep." The shortness of his answer made Sid shiver. How can it always be like this?

The ledge arrived at the door to the long corridor. It would be a long roll back. Out side the world was calm and peaceful, not letting on that all of it was in complete chaos. Inside the corridor seemed even longer than before.

As he moved along the corridor he noticed something that he was sure wasn't there before. It looked like a tear with bright white light shinning out of it. Moving close to it he was sure he could see shapes moving in it. He stood there looking at it wondering what to do when it suddenly began to move to him and suck him in.

All was blackness yet there was noise. Bird song. Wait he wasn't in blackness, his eyes were just shut. He opened them to see that he was standing in the woodland again and there was the pig standing smiling at him.

What the? Had he escaped? If he had then that was very easy. He didn't know why but it felt very wrong. All of it didn't feel right. Yet the pig was there, the trees and everything before that giant sheep had flown in. Maybe it was just him.

This is the story of Sid, who one day woke up to find that he had become a large head. Part three.














Sid's eyes opened slowly to face his room again. He was undercovers and warm. Everything was normal as it had always been. The same walls, floor, light and window as he had remembered. It must have all been a dream. So clear was it now that he felt like hitting himself for thinking that what he had been trough was real.

Well no matter, he had to get up anway. He must be more tired than he thought as getting out of his bed seemed more diffilcult than normal and his walk wasn't steady. His head ached as well. But this was just the beginning of his problems for when he looked into his mirror he saw the nose pointing at him. He was still the head.

At that same moment he heard a noise coming from his closed door. Moving as quickly as he could he made his way to it. The door opened by it self (for some reason) and Sid was faced with a different corridor than waht he was used to. Windowless, doorless, anythingless, it streched out into the distance at which he could see light. There also seemed to be a draft. Whatever this meant, he didn't know but he felt there could be answers at the end.


After a long and very boring roll along the corridor, in which the draft became stronger every second, the answer to the light was given. A ledge. A ledge from which the whole of The Land of Rob could be seen. A ledge off the wall of a floating castle.

The world below seemed oddly calm. After what Sid had seen and heard he thought things would be in chaos but yet it was peaceful. A river running off into the distance, a road joining another going over the river and woodland. The hills in the distance were hazy and the sky white with cloud. Did that river wink at him? It seemed like it. But that was not important for a small pink fluffy thing was floating next to Sid.

"I am the lord of doom," it said happily. "All shall feal my wrath." Sid just looked at it not knowing what to think. The small pink fluffy thing floated there for a few seconds then cried like a child. "You're not laughing," it moaned. "My whole point of being is to make people laugh as my master says. Now I have failed." And with that it floated away sobbing. Suddenly the ledge clicked then began asend the wall. Above, Sid could see what appeared to be a door into which the small pink fluffy thing was flying into still crying.

Now Sid was facing a new room which seemed to glow with all the treasure inside. Gold coins, slabs, statues, birds, lions, frogs, glasses, teapots, cups, spoons, paper, pencils, pens, rulers, calculators, protracters and a combineharvester. Not only gold but rubies, pearls, and me (the writer) of course for I am worth something, I mean mummy said so. The floor was soft and the walls covered with stuff.

Ahead was a curtain infront of which floated the small fluffy pink thing. "Welcome to the rest of your life," it said, it's voice completely changed to a now mocking tone. "We made your cell to that of which you are used. Now you shall meet my master." The curtain opened slowly to reveal Bill the Happy Bunny, quacking away.

This is the story of Sid, who one day woke up to find that he had become a large head. Part 2. Part one can be found on The Land of Rob.


Both Sid and the pig gazzed up to the angry eyes of the wise one. There was silence as the all three stood there wondering what would happen next. The eyes of the wise one seemed to become more angry the longer Sid look at them. There was life in them yet something felt wrong.

It was the pig who made the first sound. He squeald loudly suddenly, his smile gone and began to run aroung in what could only be described as a state of panic. Sid turned himself (nose and all) to his worried little friend. This world was making even less sense now. The pig continued his squealing.

"The wise one, he got to the wise one too!!!" he squeaed. "He stopped the wise one!!! Can't you hear?"

"Hear what," Sid asked.

The pig stopped in his tracks and frowned at him. "The wise one is a clock and the ticking's stopped!!!"

"Well who did it?"

"Bill the happy bunny. He's been out for revenge. I never knew that he could get at the wise one!!!" He began to sob. "Look." He woddled his fat little body around the bad of the wise one. "The battery has been taken."

Sid rolled along to see what this "battery" was. The back of the wise one towering over them was almost plain except for a black box with a large space where this "battery" would normally be.

The pig looked up at Sid. "Now the power of the wise one is gone. It was the only thing that kept an order to the events here. Now in this world anything and everything happens at any time." And as if on que, world war three broke out around them. Within the blizzard of bulliets, explosions, men, missiles, the wise one had dissapeared. "Run!!" the pig shouted as a yellow bomb with a friendly face came falling from the sky.

Through the shell holes and ditches they fled. Well the pig fled, Sid rolled. He was beginning to get the hang of moving, but getting back up was an other story. Suddenly as it had began, the war ended and they were back in the forrest. Everything was back to the way it was again as if nothing had happened. The smell of burning and destruction that was still lurking in Sid's nose was beeing replaced by the warm smell of woodland. He looked around to see where he was. The pig was there again, and had grown his smile back, but the wise one wasn't. Sid thought he should have some more answers. This world seemed to make some sense but there were many mysteries that he wanted answers to.

"So who is this 'Bill the bunny?'" he asked trying to sound calm as though everything was normal.

"Bill the happy bunny. There's a difference." He chuckled merrily. "Bill the bunny is a good friend of mine."

Sid sighed. This was going to be a very confusing time.

That was when the giant sheep flew down and fleeced Sid away in to the air. He fainted at once from the sheer force of that sheep hitting (I'd like to say his head but since he is a head I'll say) him. The last thing he did hear was the distant squealing of his piggy friend somewhere below.
