I'm running out of Hellos….Hi! Hope you all are having a good day…enjoy!
Also, so sorry I didn't update yesterday! It was a crazy day...my baby cousin was over and I had a show. Again, sorry!
DISCLAIMER- I'm eating breakfast right now, but I'm not owning Disney right now...
Chapter 11: (We're almost getting to magical chapter 12! Why is 12 magical? DISTRICT TWELVE!) A Disney Dream
"Good evening," Frollo said slowly, setting Finn's teeth on edge.
The Keepers didn't respond. Their theory was that by speaking, you are giving the enemy power.
As the time went on, the silence was proving unbearable. Willa had to step in.
She held her flashlight out. "What do you want?"
"Ah, child, you have such…what's the word?…grit for someone so small," he added after pausing, "and insignificant."
Finn stepped forward. "Where do you have her?"
"Her? I know no such person as her."
"You're lying," Philby said.
"My dear young man, when does a judge ever lie?" Frollo spread his arms out as to say, I have nothing to hide.
"You're full of empty promises. I know that for a fact. From personal experience," Willa quipped. "That time on the lake. I choose not to believe that you don't know where she is."
"Is that so? Well…" Frollo tapped his foot. "Let's challenge that. Let's say that I will promise to tell you the whereabouts of this so-called she if you beat me in this little…game."
The Keepers stared at each other. They made sure their faces didn't show their true feelings, but they knew that each was confused about what the judge meant by game.
"How so?" Willa added slowly, afraid to let on too much.
"Your team," Frollo pointed rudely at the Keepers, "against my team. Whoever wins…divulges what they need to."
Frollo continued. "The game…consists of two parts. You have to swim to the bottom of the swimming pool. Then, grab the keys from the bottom. Then you must bring them to me. When you bring more than three of them, you win."
The Keepers looked at each other. At first, the game sounded silly, but once the news sunk in, they realized how dangerous this could be.
"Challenge accepted?" Frollo put out his hand for one of them to shake. Finn hesitated and sought approval from his friends. Philby nodded quickly. Willa waited a while, looked around, then at Philby and mouthed something. Is it safe?
Philby answered with his eyes. Willa then nodded carefully.
Finn put his hand out to shake.
"Challenge…gladly accepted."
The Keepers walked toward the pool. The Green Army Men stood at the edge. Suddenly, six room keys appeared at the bottom of the pool.
Finn whispered to Willa quietly. "Willa, you're the best swimmer. Jump in first. I'll follow a few moments later. Philby…"
"I'll jump in when I need to."
"That works."
"Just come in at some point. You were brilliant this afternoon, and you learned so fast. I can count on you," Willa encouraged Philby.
"Thanks."The next few moments of silence were driving them nuts.
Right before Frollo began to give the go, Willa whispered oh so quietly to Finn.
"This isn't safe."
"Nothing is."
"And, remember, my friends, don't cheat in front of a judge." Frollo added to his neverending list of rules. "I'll have my friends here to make sure you don't lie…"
Frollo laughed maniacally.
In the pool, several electric eels appeared.
