"You still watch that show?" Dakota sighed as he looked between me and the My Little Pony related accessories that I was covered in.
"Yeah of course I do, waiting on season 4 baby woo!" I said as we open the doors, leaving the prisonwe call school. My best friend, Dakota, and I were stoked for our little adventure we were going to have over the weekend. Near my house isa stony entrance to what we think is an underground bunker, or maybe even a cave!? We'd have to be sure to bring our pick-axes and torches (haha minecraft). It was a cool Friday evening, resting between summer and fall, perfect jacket weather. Dakota and I part our ways, he was walking home while I went driving. I couldn't help but let a smile slip onto my face, thinking of the fun we'd have exploring the, well, whatever the heck it is.
We didn't have access to pick-axes and torches but we did go out and buy some spray paint to mark our way, so we don't get lost and big flood lights that I borrowed from my dad. Ok, so…borrow is a bit of an understatement but he won't miss them. As I pull up to my house I grab all the stuff I had; such as backpack, school laptop all that jazz. I walked in and greeted the folks and my bro, who gave a playful gut punch which almost made me crap myself. (Yeah, so playful...) I headed into my room to cool off from the day. I turned on my Xbox, anxiously awaiting Dakota to get his a** over here. We already mapped out our journey. Around noon tomorrow (Saturday), we'd tell my mom we were going out to hike in the woods or something. Then we'd head straight for the door way to the mysteries that awaited us.
Dakota finally arrives with a backpack of clothes and his utensils that I told him to bring; some batteries, snacks (I'm fat, I get hungry, bite me), a lighter, and matches in case the lighter doesn't work or runs out of fluid. I, with the equivalent of items in my little bag, start to set up everything. We sit in my room, prepping as we talk of what we might find. Dakota was rambling on about some missing Tommy gun that an old gangster left behind. Though the thought was cool I started daydreaming of more fantasy stuff. Dakota quickly snapped me out of it so we could get ready for dinner. Dinner was alright as the simple small talk ended when everyone cleaned up and said their goodnights. I set up Dakota's bed on the floor, and got into my pajamas after brushing our teeth and what not. Neither me nor Dakota fell asleep that night, we stayed up throwing ideas back and forth of what we might find, what happens if we get separated, so on and so forth. We soon passed out due to lack of sleep from getting too excited.
I awoke in a daze, vision blurred and an anxious Dakota shaking me, yelling at me to get up and ready, saying that I over slept. I rolled over cursing his name to see my clock read: "1:22pm".
"Oh sh**!" I yell as I spring up and into the bathroom to get ready.
"Yeah, 'oh sh**'. Hurry or I'm going leave without you."
I cursed his name once again and started my normal morning routine only at a quickened pace. After getting ready with a nice shower and teeth brushing (hey, just because I'm exploring some unknown "thing" doesn't mean I can't smell good). We geared up and left yelling bye to my mom who replied with a "be careful". Then, we set out to unknown treasures that waited…or so we hoped.
Let's give a bit of background here. I, Scotty, am no small fry. I weigh about 300 lbs. (though not much of it is in my stomach), at a height of 6 feet and 2 inches. Dakota and I are both seniors in our high school. The only real difference between me and him is that we don't share the same interests in each other's hobbies (except for video games, we can play the sh** out of video games). One thing we don't come to terms with is our interest in the show; My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I myself am a huge fan of the show, while Dakota doesn't quite care for it. Now don't get me wrong, he doesn't hate it but doesn't watch it. Ha-ha I swear, any accessories I see that relate to the show I buy it almost on the spot. Ahem, anyway back on topic; Dakota and I make our way around tall oak trees, tripping over rotting, protruding roots as I turn to him and ask,
"You sure we're going the right way?" I turn back to face the direction that we were wandering aimlessly towards.
"Of course we are. It's not my first time navigating through the woods. Sheesh..." I rolled my eyes turning back to him, walking backwards. "Well could at least tell me if we're clo-"My sentence was cut short as I bumped into a familiar concrete object. Turning around I gazed at the entrance to God knows what. Dakota and I both took a step back looking into the deep, dark hole in the hill just waiting for someone to discover its secrets. I looked to him and he looked to me.
"Ok, no splitting up, report anything we see, no splitting up, we share any treasure 50/50, and finally no. splitting. Up." I said, looking back into the hole.
"Agreed" He said, nodding in approval. We clicked on our flashlights, and delved into the door way to darkness with one thought in both of our heads; 'I hope this door doesn't lead to my tomb…'
We were walking in almost utter darkness until we arrived at an intersection of what we thought was about 6 or so corridors. We looked side to side, each hallway had the same amount of pitch black at the end (if it even had an end). Dakota slowly approached one of the hallways, and brushed some (ok a whole sh** ton) of dust off of the wall revealing a plaque with some sort of cartoony looking skeleton and for some strange reason I noticed a faint smell of pumpkins coming from said hallway.
A sudden smack of realization struck. "Oh! I get it! Ha-ha! See Dakota, that's Jack! Jack Skellington! You know Nightmare Before Christmas!?" I had the dumbest grin on my face waiting for Dakota to get a big smack from realization herself…seems this time she was merciful. Dakota shook is head,
"No idea what you're talking about dude". He said. My jaw almost struck the floor.
"How do you not know that movie, how!? That's like, against the rules of the universe!" I shouted frantically, my voice echoing through the halls.
"Hey now, there are a lot of things that you still haven't seen!" He retorted back.
"Ok ok fine fine….jeez..."I sighed looking to every other hallway seeing if I could identify any others, but the plaques were either to dusty or they were rusty. (Ha that rhymes...er sorry). One particular plaque stood out to me the most. Printed onto it was what appeared to be a unicorn with wings, with what looked like a sun sitting on her right wing, and a crescent moon sitting on the left. The scent flowing from the end of the hallway was unbelievable! There was a sweet apple, a sort of cotton fresh, a cake or well pastries in general, and others I couldn't quite describe but that's not what got my attention. At the end of the corridor were to oval shapes that glowed like a small yellow nightlight that began to grow dim. They went up to about my waist in height and stuck side by side like to….eyes?! Without hesitation I broke my number one rule. I left Dakota and followed the ovals almost running at them. I quickly slowed my role thinking; 'I don't want to scare it…wait it?! There's something in here other than me and Dakota?! Best to make friends with it right? So as not to get eaten...' I gave myself a nervous chuckle and kept following the ovals as they turned a corner and disappeared. I, now sprinting, tried catching up to the floating ovals I almost had forgotten where I was going. Oh who am I kidding? I was lost after the fifth turn.
I was stopped dead by the sudden drop of the earth under me. Ahead of me was an enormous hole that apparently had no bottom. I leaned over ever so slightly peering down to what was some faint glow…bigger than the ovals. Much bigger, almost like a hole. Before I could make up a theory of what the hell I was looking at I turned around to the ovals, now at head height flying towards me. They almost screamed something like "Excuse me!" but that wasn't my main concern. My main concern was what was at the bottom of the hole. Seeing as I was plummeting down it! The purple swirling mist getting closer and closer. The Yellow ovals shouted something like; "My bad!" I still didn't pay attention seeing as I was falling to my death.
I let out an ear piercing scream as I was engulfed in the mist, leaving my world forever…but entering a completely new one.
