Hey! I'm back with another chapter! Hurray! *jumps up and down clapping while everyone stares* I'm going to start where they are showing Lisa the game because I messed up on the chapter and I want to redo it but I don't want to go back and re-type that scene, but if I did do that while I was talking then I wouldn't be rambling on about this so lets just read the chapter! .
"No! no! its not a joke!" Walter repeated
"No! its not! Watch!" Danny said setting the game down.
I laid against the wall and I would look at them and glance down at Lisa once in a while.
"Alright, so um… whined the key" Danny said pointing at the key.
"Alright, so I'm whinnying the key" Walter repeated but his hands on the key and twisting it 2 times just like Danny did. Then the button popped out with the dinging noise.
"So...now you push the button!" Danny exclaimed
"I push the button!" Walter exclaimed along with Danny. The numbers on the bottom started rolling.
"So…then the numbers start whining like-" Danny was cut off by Walter
"9!" Walter exclaimed
"Yeah like 9. Then your ship- the blue ship- because the red one is mine and I rolled a 5, so then it goes to 9 which would be right there" Danny explained pointing at the blue space. I looked over at Lisa her face was annoyed and impatient.
"Alright" Walter said
"Okay, then the card is going to pop out" Danny said starting to get excited.
"the card…the card…The card!" Walter and Danny chanted in union. "Here's the scary part" Danny wined as e covered his ears. Walter snatched the card away from the game slot.
"Alright, The card…Your promoted to star ship captain move ahead 2 spaces" As Walter read it his voice became disappointed. Danny wined and the blue ship moved to spaces ahead. Lisa nodded.
"Fascinating" Lisa said sarcastically while shutting the bathroom door. I ran to the door and started banging on it.
"Lisa! Wait! No! wait!" Walter begged
"Lisa! Lisa! Lisa! Wait! Aww man!" Danny wined
"Wait! Lisa that didn't count! This thing is crazy! Please!" I begged but what I expected she didn't answer. Walter turned to the game and turned the key. The 'GO' button didn't make its dinging noise and Walter tried to push it but it made a noise a buzzing noise. Walter put his arms out by his side. "Its stuck!" Walter exclaimed. "Maybe I have to go?" Danny suggested as he pushed the button the numbers started rolling again. I gulped.
"4, see it was my turn" Danny said as we watched the red rocket ship move to its spot. The card popped out of its slot. Walter tried to grab it but I did instead. Danny covered his eyes bracing himself.
"Shipmate, enters cryonic sleep chamber. For 5 turns?" I read. Walter looked at me and took the card reading it himself. Danny took his hands off his face and looked at me and Walter. "What the heck does that mean?" Danny asked. When I opened my mouth I was interrupted by the sound of something cracking. We slowly turn our heads were the noise was coming from.
The Bathroom.
I gulped. Ice slowly started growing over the door. Smoke started coming from under it. The smoke slowly approached us. We were still looking at the ice growing on the door.
"Lisa?" Walter called out. The was no response to Danny decided to brake the silence.
"Does cryonic mean ice?" Danny asked. Walter got up and pushed on the door trying to budge it. I walked over to help him. Me and Walter struggled and we turned to Danny.
"Could you help us?" We asked in union. Danny walked over to the door and helped. We all pushed on the door as hard as we can and after a minute the door finally opened. Walter slowly opened it and we saw that everything was frozen over.
Everything.
My eyes widened. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, Everything looked actually beautiful like it snowed outside. And each snowflake took its turn flying down and landing. I turned my head and gasped
Lisa…
She was frozen in place. She was frozen over too. But not to frozen just enough so she was stuck in place. You could still see her color and everything. I jumped as Danny grabbed my shirt and hid behind me.
"I killed her!" Danny exclaimed
"You didn't kill her, Dan" I whispered in a hushed voice.
"Yeah, she is frozen in cryonic sleep" Walter reassured.
We all turned our attention back to Lisa. Her hand was reached out to the frozen water as if she was trying to feel the temperature of it. Walter shook his head.
"I gotta melt her" He said and walked out.
"Walter!" I called out but it was no use he was gone. Me and Danny slowly walked up to Lisa's frozen body to get a good look. I could feel Danny's grip on my shirt tightened.
Suddenly I saw flames, I turned my head and saw Walter with hairspray and a lighter. My eyes widened.
"Walter! Are you crazy?" I screamed. Walter looked at me and turned it off.
"We cant just leave her here like this!" Walter yelled back.
"Guys! Maybe we should read the instructions…" Danny suggested.
Walter cleaned off the board and turned it over and started reading the instructions.
"Zathura, Attention space adventurers! Zathura waits, Do you have what It takes to navigate the galaxy? Its not the fame of heart, but once you embark on your journey there's no turning back until Zathura is reached, The pieces reset at the end of the game. Play more and more for different adventures"
Walter read. I listened to every word he said. Making sure I got everything.
"That's it, we gotta keep playing" Walter said throwing the board to the side. Danny looked at Walter like he was crazy. Walter sat down by the game board and looked down at it. I sat down too.
"I'm not playing that thing" Danny said. Walter and I looked at each other. I brushed my side bangs out of my eyes.
"Yes we are, it says we go home if we win" Walter said
"It didn't say that at all" Danny snapped
"Pieces reset after the end of each game, That means we get to go home when were done with this stupid thing!" I protested pointing at the instructions.
"All I know is when we play this game, bad things happen" Danny said
"All I know is I played that game and I got promoted, so I'm gonna win this thing and get us back home" Walter announced. I smiled.
That's my big brother.
"Wait, wait, wait, can we-" Danny was cut off
"Don't be a baby" Walter said
"I'm not a baby" Danny snapped
"Guys, seriously?" I said.
Walter looked at Danny and shook his head. He looked down at the game and turned the key 2 times. The 'Go' button popped up with a ding. Walter pushed it. The numbers rolled and went to number 8.
"Look number 8, I'm half way there" Walter pointed out. Danny gulped. The blue ship landed and a card popped out with another ding. I grabbed the card and read it.
"Your robot is defective" I read.
"What does that mean?" Danny asked
"It means my robot is broken" Walter answered.
"We don't even have a robot" Danny said. Then we heard a noise coming from the hall way. We saw a shadow get closer, and closer to us, I gulped and grabbed Walter's hand. A small silver robot with red glowing eyes came out of the corner walking towards us.
"Emergency, Emergency" It repeated. I let out a giggle.
"That's your robot?" I giggled
"At least I got one" Walter said
"Well…What does it do?" Danny asked
"Anything I want" Walter replied. Walter turned to look at the robot and smirked.
"Get me a juice box, B-i-o-tch!" Walter called out
"don't do that!" Danny announced
"Why not its my robot" Walter said.
As they fought I watched the robot, It started getting bigger by each second.
"Uh…guys" I called out
"You might make it mad" Danny said
"Its three inches tall, ill pun him across the room, its my robot anyway the card says." Walter smirked
"I never said it wasn't your robot. You don't have to be a jerk about it" Danny snapped
"guys?" I called out again. It was at least 6'0 now
"Dude, your just jealous because I have a robot and you don't" Walter said rolling his eyes.
"Why would I-" Danny was cut off by me.
"Guys!" I shouted. They robot was done growing by now.
"Emergency!" The robot announced in a deeper voice.
"Emergency" I was still growing just a little more. I grabbed Walters shirt and hid behind him. The robots arms started coming out.
"Alien life form must destroy" It said. My eyes widened and I tightened my grip.
"Walter, I think he is talking about you" I whispered. Walter looked over his should and gulped backing up. Suddenly, The robot was gliding towards us. We screamed. Walter grabbed me and jumped out of the way. The robot smashed into the fireplace. Walter slowly got up.
"ow…my head" I groaned. Walter put his hand out.
"You okay?" He asked. I nodded slowly and grabbed his hand. He lifted me up. We turned our attention to the robot who was frozen in place at the fireplace. Danny slowly walked from behind the couch to us. We sat there in silence as we watched the robot making sure it was dead. We all jumped as the robot moved its arm, and the other. It slowly turned its head towards me and Walter. The red light was shining on both of us. I hid behind Walter again.
"Danny, Take your turn" Walter instructed. Danny didn't hesitated and quickly ran over to where the game board was. The robot struggled even more to get out of the fire places grip. I looked over at Danny and his eyes widened.
"There's no key!" Danny announced.
"Find it!" Walter shouted. I ran over to where Danny was and helped search for the key. The robot struggled even more and started jumping.
Danny and I were scraping the dust of the ceiling to find the key. I was panicking, I started searching as fast as I could. Danny and I watched as we saw that Walter found the key but the robot had one of its hands out and was snapping at Walter. I gasped and hoped Walter would make it. Successfully Walter grabbed it and ran to our side giving Danny the key.
"Come on, come on! Hurry!" Walter rushed
Danny put the key back in. I watched as the robot got something out of its back. My eyes widened as I saw it added it to its arm and used it as a blade trying to get its self out. It succeeded and ran towards Walter. Walter sprinted and ran. The robot ran after Walter acting like me and Danny weren't there what so ever.
"Take your turn Danny! Now! Hurry!" I screamed. Danny flinched. Walter ran into the living room and jumped over the couch. The robot glided across the room and out the window.
"Why didn't you go? I could've been killed!" Walter exclaimed
"I was scared, but its okay because he's gone isn't he?" Danny asked but he was wrong as the robot blasted through the window behind Danny. Danny flinched. The robot slipped and left a track of flames on the floor.
We all slowly walked over to the other side of the room to get a good look where the robot crashed in. I thought It was over but yet I was wrong, the robot got back up slowly on its feet. Steam came out of its gaps on his head.
"Danny, take your turn" Walter instructed again. Danny very quickly turned the key 2 times. The button popped out and Danny pushed it. The numbers started rolling.
"Danny give me the card" Walter gritted his teeth.
"Its still moving" I said
The red rocket ship was still going.
"come on, come on," I repeated finally that's when the card came out with a ding.
"The card!" Me and Danny said in union. Walter grabbed the card and left. Suddenly everything started shaking again except we were tilting to the side this time. Danny and I watched as the board started sliding away. We stood up, looked up and saw…
the sun…
