Kate's P.O.V.
"Because it's not! Now, all we need to do is get out of these ropes." Star said, then something caught her eye, "And that shouldn't be such a big deal, I have another idea."
"Oh dear," Kate said.
"See, it's simple," Star said, "Now all we need to do is get from here over to the really sharp pointy looking rock."
"How do you expect us to be able todo that?" Kate asked, "That is basically IMPOSSIBLE."
"We just have to work together," Star said, "And get up carefully." Kate widened her eyes, that was almost impossible.
"So? Do you have an exact plan on how to get over there?" Kate asked.
"Well," Star said, "You have super strength..."
"Star, I don't like where you're going with this," Kate said, nervously.
"Just put your hands, um, on my hips and lift while you do 'squats' just push up your legs and I'll push up mine." Star explained. So they tried Star's little maneuver. The two had some trouble at first. They stumbled a few times and fell once, but they eventually got it. They "squat walked" over to the sharp ended rock. Star turned and brought the rope down onto the rock, one time, two times, three times, four times... After about ten our fifteen times the first layer of rope broke, then the second, then the third, then the fourth, all the way until the twelfth. They were finally free, except their hands. They took turns slicing off the rope the bound their hands.
"Now what?" Kate asked.
"How am I supposed to know?" Star ran a hand through her long hair.
"You were the one who came up with a plan!"
"First, we find food. A girl with super speed has got to eat, ya know?"
"Sure."
"Why don't we find the nearest McDonald's or something? I got 5 bucks, we'll just order from the dollar menu."
"Sure." Just like that, the subject were changed, and the two girls were off to the nearest McDonald's "or something."
