Alita's POV:

"Wow…check this out!" Od said. We were stuck cleaning out the attic in the library because we were caught skipping class. Thankfully, we had been able to make it to Lyoko in time, but now we were stuck cleaning for a few days.

"Od, the sooner we get this done, the sooner we get to go." I said, turning around any way. He was holding a stuffed wolf.

"Wouldn't this make a great friend for Kiwi?" Od asked. I shook my head.

"Od, we're supposed to be cleaning, not picking stuff out for ourselves." I said.

"But isn't this stuff cool?" Od asked. "This used to be the lost & found. There's lots of cool stuff up here…"

"Including the family of rats that live up here?" I asked. After all, that's why Jim decided to make us clean this place out…

"We skate in the sewers all the time. Rats don't bother me." Od said as we went back to work. "Oh, wow…Alita! You've got to check this out!"

"What is it now, Od?" I asked, turning. He was holding up an old board game.

"I say we take a little break." Od said. "At least until Jim comes back to check on us…" Before I could say anything else, he had already opened it up & sat it on the floor.

"Od…" I said.

"It won't take long." he said, pulling the game pieces out…which then shot out of his hand, landing up right on the start.

"It probably has magnets in it." I said, before Od even asked. I'll admit that I was interested then. After all, most of this stuff was pretty old!

"So cool!" Od said. He looked at me. "It's kinda my fault you're stuck in here, so I'll let you go first if you want." He handed me the dice.

His collision with me was probably what got us caught...

"Od…We have work to do." I said dropping the dice on the game board. I was about to get back to work when I saw something impossible.

One of the game pieces was moving on its own…for 11 spaces. The same number that was showing on the dice.

"More magnets?" I said, sitting down. This seemed to be a pretty advanced board game…

"I told you it was cool!"

Some writing was appearing in the center.

"They haven't moved on, they're free to roam. Look out, you're not alone." I looked up at Od after reading the text aloud. "What does that mean?"

Just then, the lights started to flicker. Things started to shake & some old books fell off the shelves…for no apparent reason. It felt like there was somebody else in the room.

A minute or so later, whatever was happening ended as quickly as it started.

"…What just happened?" Od asked.

"…I have no idea…" I said. "But I think we should look at the directions for this game…" I heard the dice hit the board. "Od!"

"What?" he asked as his piece moved 6 spots. "It's a board game, it's not hard to figure out…"

I rolled my eyes, but I looked to see what the game would say.

"Icy clods begin to hover. You may want to seek some cover." Od said. "Ow!" he said. "Something just hit me!"

I jumped as something bounced off me, as well. I picked it up & looked at it. "It's…ice." I said as more started to fall…

I should have known this was a bad idea…


After a few very fluffy fics, I decided that maybe an adventure story would be a nice change of pace…& Jumanji is one of my favorites! I hope you guys like my take on it!
