Frost's POV
"Guys, you may want to see this," I said as he looked outside. All of us then walked over to the door and looked outside. "We're not in Station Square anymore," Sonic said. "No, we aren't," Rocket said. Outside, we saw Saturn and its icy rings. "What is that," Sally asked. "It's Saturn." "I thought that was a weekday," Sonic said. "That's Saturday," Rocket said. "No, that's a country in Asia." "Saudi Arabia." "No, that's the Man of Steel," Sonic said. "That doesn't even make any sense," Rocket said. "Guys, don't. We have to keep playing the game," Sally said. "That's true. If we wanna go home, that's the only way to." All of us then went back into the house and walked back over to where Zathura was. "All right. I took my turn, so Frost goes next," Rocket said. "Right," I said before pulling the game closer to me. "Turn the key. Press the button. Read the card." The card came out seconds later and I grabbed it. "You are promoted to Starship Captain. Move ahead two spaces," I read. "Well, that was a waste of time," Sonic said as I threw the card away. "Got that right. Just a stupid promotion." "Is there a bathroom in this place," Sally asked. "Upstairs, second door on the left," Sonic said. "Thanks." Sally then got up and walked upstairs to the bathroom. "My turn," Rocket said before pulling the game closer to him. He turned the key, pressed the button, and watched as his piece moved further ahead. The next card came out and Rocket grabbed it. "Shipmate enters cryonic sleep chamber for 5 turns." "What does that mean," Silver asked. He got his answer when all of us heard crackling from upstairs. "Hey, Sonic. Didn't Sally go that way," I asked. "Oh, man," Sonic said as he got up. All of us climbed the stairs and walked over to the bathroom door. I tried to open the door, but it was frozen in place. "Push harder," Blaze said. "Who do I look like? The Hulk?" Seconds later, I was able to open the door and all of us walked inside and saw a frozen Sally. "Frost." "Not my fault. I was down there with you," I defended. Rocket then tapped his fist against Sally's skull. "Don't do that," Blaze said. "She's frozen like this for five turns. Think you can handle that kind of time," Rocket asked Sonic. "Maybe. I'd probably lose hope after two turns, though," he replied. "Come on. We should get back downstairs," Silver said. All of us then followed Silver's suggestion and went back downstairs.
"So let's assess the damage. So far, there was a meteor shower and Sally's frozen. This truly is a great game we're playing," Sonic said. "Just be lucky it isn't Jumanji we're playing. If it was, we'd still be on the ground but we'd also be facing a crazed hunter, a stampede, killer plants, spiders, and a lion. I say this is a lucky break from that," Rocket said. "That does sound like sheer terror all in one board game," Blaze said. "Trust me. It is." "Let's see what's next to happen," I said before turning the key and pressing the button. I saw my piece move and stop, causing a card to come out. I grabbed it and read what it said. "Your robot is defective." "Frost, you don't even have a robot," Silver said. All of us then heard thundering footsteps getting closer and closer to us. Soon, a tiny robot with red eyes and metal pincers came along. Sonic, Silver, and Rocket snickered at the sight of it. "That's it? I was expecting more than that puny tin can," Sonic said. "Maybe it'll sic its big brother on us." Because Rocket, Silver, and Sonic were taunting the robot, they didn't see it increase in size. "Emergency," the robot said. Sonic, Silver, and Rocket heard its booming voice and turned around. "You think it knows we insulted it," Silver asked. "Alien life form. Must destroy." The robot then grabbed Rocket's neck with one of its pincers. "I think it does. Either that or it thinks I'm an alien," Rocket said. "Not good," I said.
