Anyone who happened to be passing by the beach that day would've smiled at the sight of a group of friends, racing each other along the sand. Only they wouldn't realize that said group of friends were racing towards an adventure, incomprehensible to the closed minds of the residents of Astoria.
Mikey and Sammie were in the lead beside each other, Mouth was a close second, followed by Stef and Data, then Andy, then Chunk and then finally Brand, who was walking. The group stopped when they reached the opening of the cave to catch their breath.
"Looks...dark...in there." Gasped Chunk.
"Well then it's a good job Sammie's smart." Smiled Stef, moving to the younger girls backpack and producing one of the torches.
"Cool, protections."
"Provisions, doofus." Mouth flicked Mikey's ear only to receive an elbow in the ribs.
Sammie twisted the torch on. "Ready?" She asked.
"Born ready." Smiled Mouth.
The plum haired girl smirked before leading the gang slowly forward.
The cave was long, dark and wet and Sammie kept wishing she'd worn wellingtons. After half an hour of walking, the walls got narrower and narrower until the group was single-file, squeezing their way through. Suddenly, Sammie stopped.
"What is it?" Asked Mikey. Sammie shone the torch on the floor, even though Mikey couldn't see.
"Shit." She mumbled.
"What?" Asked Mouth.
"There's a huge hole in the floor." Awkwardly, Sammie managed to crouch down, shining the torch down.
"How deep?" Came Data's voice.
"Dunno." Sammie mumbled. "Data, do you have any rope?"
"Sure thing, Here you go." A thick coil of rope was produced from Data's bag and passed down the line until it reached Sammie. She tied one end around her torch and started to slowly lower it down. It hit the bottom a sort drop down and Sammie turned to Mikey.
"It's safe."
"Well jump down then."
"You jump down."
"You're at the front!"
"This was your idea, Mikey!"
"So?"
"So, you should go first."
"Girls, girls!" Interrupted Mouth. "Data will go first."
Data's eyes widened. "I will?"
"Course you will, you're Data!"
"OK, OK." Data dropped to his knees and started to crawl through Mouth, Mikey and Sammie's legs. Slowly, he lowered his legs into the hole, muttering about god knows what, and dropped down.
"Data?" Sammie called. "You OK?" The torch light was turned up and into her eyes.
"Data's fine, come on down."
Sammie dropped down first, followed by Mouth who landed straight on top of her.
"Jesus Christ, Mouth!" She moaned shoving him away.
"Sorry sweet cheeks. You know you love it."
"In your dreams Mouth."
Mikey arrived soon after, then Chunk, Stef, Andy and Brand.
"Which way Mikey?" Brand asked taking the torch from Data and shining it onto the map.
"Erm..." Mikey scanned the ancient papers until he found what he was looking for. "We go left."
This time Brand lead the group forward whilst Sammie was sandwiched between Mikey and Mouth at the back.
"You're different to how I remember." Commented Mouth.
"You haven't changed." Mikey smirked at Sammie's remark earning a glare from Mouth.
"Jeez. You try to pay the lady a compliment and she-"
"See's straight through it. Don't patronize me Mouth."
Sammie quickened her pace until she passed Chunk and Data and was walking beside Stef.
"You get used to him." laughed Stef only for Sammie to huff and mumble a "not bloody likely.""
