Less Continuity Than an LSD Trip

I was a Major Hewletts house from Turn and I was copying out a letter when I noticed the foot piece on the desk had hinges. After fanagling it a bit, it swung open to reveal a ladder going down. I never actually got to go down the ladder myself as havoc broke loose downstairs. Apparently, Hewlett had this monster that lived in the basement that sort of resembled an enormous bald chicken. The other occupants of the house and I spent a good deal of time running away from this thing, when we finally, finally made it outside, the house nearly demolished. We waited for a transport. We were now standing on the edge of a volcanic field, the houses at our backs and large ships flying above us. When we managed to board one, it took us to a place where I was to play a game similar to the one in Enders Game, where I floated around and the object was to get everyone on the other team out of the room through a tunnel. The issue was, there was not air in here. Almost everyone had a suit to help them breathe except one girl on my team. I think she may have been Toph from the Last Airbender. After a shoved a few of the opposing team through the tunnel, one of their snorkels flew off (don't ask me why they had a snorkel), and Toph caught it, using it to breathe up at the ceilings. At this point my point of view changed to Toph herself. I began to find trinkets and tools that could be used to win: a small plastic circle that somehow helped me breathe, a set of keys for cutting and stabbing, a heavy pad lock for bludgeoning or locking someone down. Unfortunately, before I got to use this, the game ended and we had to flee. Myself again, we ended up in a place that was pretty much a theme park, but it was run by someone evil. I didn't know this at the time but I soon figured it out. Here the kids and the parents sort of split into two teams, the kids trying to do our own thing and the adults trying to keep us safe, as one does, but you see, the moon had vanished. The moon had vanished and was now personified by one of the kids in our group. When I say "kids" we were late teenagers, 16-18. The mother of moon girl was determined to keep her safe, but we ran away on a quest to restore her. We escaped through a large pipe and as we left we realized the park was owned by a villain (not sure how, nothing actually happened). Airships were taking off and moon girl's mother was screaming in anguish as she realized her daughter had tricked her and run away. The four of us (Emily, moon girl, me and someone else) piled into Emily's car and we started a cross country road trip, eventually stopping at a market in the city. This was a special market. It was indoors, each room containing a new vendor and instead of using real money (called C-money) to buy things, you used essentially monopoly money (called AB-money) and it transferred later. It was filled with piles and bins of candy and pastries, interesting drinks and fruit and you could find furniture and jewelry. it was hard to walk through, there was so little space between the colorful stacks. We swiped food here and there, some free, some stolen, pastries and berries and cups of flavored water. My dad had followed us here, but he was on our side and I was thinking we needed to move on lest the other parents catch up to us. My friends were checking out and I was inspecting so jewelry when the dream ended.
