| Chapter 17 - Holli Within the woods, the travelers experienced many perils. They fought dragons and wildebeasts, and even a blue centaur looking thing with a scorpion tail that seemed to be under the control of a small grey slug that wrapped around his head. They fought bravely, using a new power they had acquired from War Prince Elfangor...The power to morph. But, there was a limit in this power, you can only stay in morph for 2 hours--or you'll become a nothlit. Pen found this out the hard way, morphing into a pencil. But they battled bravely, and the casualties were low--in fact, not even Rosey died. Damn shame though... Finally, the group reached the end of the woods, only to find that they were blocked by a large fence. Suddenly, Crayak had an idea. "Hey, you know, I just remembered, I could get us over this fence in a jiff!" "What?? You could have done that a long time ago, and you didn't??!!" Roses exclaimed. "Yes." the fourth dimensional being said, moving to hide behind Rosey. "Well--we had an adventure along the way, at least me and Ty did." Holli winked at Ty, who smiled proudly. "Well do it already, flying nun boy!" Jaina exclaimed. "Okay, okay, come on, get in a circle, and hold hands." "Does anyone else feel like a hippi?" Ty said as they did as Crayak instructed. "Now, close your eyes." "Wait a minute, I am standing next to Rosey--I am NOT closing my eyes." Roses stated. "Whatever could you mean, Roses?" Rosey smiled innocently as his hand began to wander to her shoulder. "That's it. Ty, switch!" "But---then he'll do it to me?" "I don't care, move!" 'Yes, your majesty" Ty mocked as he moved to stand between Holli and Rosey. "Okay, you guys done?" Crayak sighed. "Yes." The group shouted. "Then let's get into that tower!" BOOM!! A light consumed the group. It travelled up over the trees and in through a small window on the first floor. The girls bathroom... "Oh man, this is the mecca!" Rosey exclaimed as he opened his eyes. Holli and Roses slapped him. Jaina punched him in the arm. "Ow!" "Perv!" the three girls yelled. "Um, I am betting we should get out of here as fast as possible," Ty's eyes were wide as he backed toward the door. "Wait a minute--I wanna inspect the grounds." "Rosey! NO!!" The girls dragged him out, Crayak laughing. "Okay, so where are we, Roses?" Jaina asked. "Um, the first floor---but we have to climb the tower to get the best signal." "So that means, we should find some rope, and find a villan so we can pretend to be the cast of Scooby Doo. Hey Holli, I'll be Fred if you'll be Daphne! Rosey can be Scooby." Ty smiles evilly. "Hey, I don't wanna be a dog, can't I be Velma?" "Velma?" Roses rolled her eyes. "Uh...I mean...uh...shut up!" Rosey blushed as his Scooby fantasy had just been revealed. < |
