Chapter 9: The Average Fall
Down, down, down, that's where three heroes where going.
Falling from a trap door, it felt like the "Alice In Wonderland" story. The place they had fallen from could no longer be seen from looking up, and were ever was the ground? Even if it was there, they probably wouldn't have been able to see it.
Jimmy covered his ears, he, Ginger and Libby where all screaming, it was quite loud, but can you blame them? Falling into a nearly endless pit, Jimmy wondered, how far into the Earth where they heading? By now they must have fallen at least three or more miles.
Libby felt like the end had come, was there anyway to survive a fall like this?
Her question was soon to be answered as she noticed the ground was partly white, and the speed of falling sped up to an enormous rate. Hearts beating fast, she could only wait.
Meanwhile, Cat Dog ran fast, and hard, it was all their fault! They hadn't known that behind the gates was a trap door, they had been terribly threatened to not go back there, but Cat and Dog had forgotten this, since they had been so surprised to see people actually down there, and if the worst of fate had come, they might not see them again.
Cat soon noticed the rope ladder is the distance, "Hurry Dog!" He hollered.
Cat and Dog quickly rushed up the ladder and knocked loud and fiercely on the door.
The door was instantly opened, Arlene stood there, "Catdog?" She raised her voice in confusion.
Now Carl, Hoodsey, Tommy and Sandy where now surrounding Arlene.
"What's going on here?" Asked Tommy suspiciously.
"We're the guardians of the gate (the five of them gasped) and Jimmy, Libby and Ginger are in trouble!" Dog told them.
Carl had a completely determined face, "Ladies, gentlemen, we're goin in!"
Meanwhile, Cindy, Spongebob, Dodie and Kimi had been forced into a new room, at least now they where on solid ground and could sit next to each other.
Kimi pointed out the mattress in the corner, she headed over to sit on it, but Spongebob held her back.
"You don't know how dangerous that might be!" Spongebob warned her.
Kimi rolled her eyes, "Yeah right Spongebob! Why would a mattress be dangerous?"
Before Spongebob could answer, Dodie suddenly heard a faint scream.
"Say, do you guys here something?" Dodie asked.
Cindy strained her ears and listened closer, the screaming was coming nearer.
"Yeah … I hear it. Where's it coming from?" Cindy pondered out loud.
With that the four rushed to the iron gate keeping them from getting out and looked to the hall way, expecting maybe that Jimmy and the others where coming this way to rescue them. Of course, why would they be screaming?
Suddenly the screaming sounded very close.
"I hear it, but I don't see it!" Said Kimi, who was a bit annoyed.
"Who do you think is screaming? They sound like their right on top of …" But Spongebob couldn't finish his sentence as he and the others quickly spun around to see Libby fall right onto the mattress from the ceiling, she bounced off and stood a little awkwardly.
Finally Ginger landed on the mattress feet first, but due to the springy of the mattress, she flipped forward and did a summersault on to the ground, feet first again. When Jimmy landed, he just landed, fairly hard, but right on the mattress.
Everyone was a bit too shocked to say anything.
Suddenly, talk burst out of everyone's mouths.
"What are you doing here?" Asked Kimi.
"How'd you find us?" Asked Spongebob.
"Where's everyone else?" Dodie also asked.
"Where did you fall from?" Asked Cindy.
But the others had questions too.
"Where are we?" Asked Libby.
"Are you guys ok?" Asked Ginger.
"Where's Plankton?" Asked Jimmy.
Everyone paused, they clearly had forgotten they all planned to be excited when they saw the others again.
Libby sighed, "Lets make this nice and easy, we'll answer your guys questions, then you'll answer ours, ok?"
Everyone nodded, then they walked up to each other.
"What are you doing here?" Asked Kimi, once again, and Jimmy explained about Catdog, and the trap door.
So since that pretty much answered their questions, Jimmy, Ginger and Libby started to ask their own.
"Do you guys know where we are?" Asked Libby.
Cindy looked around then said, "One of Plankton's dungeons, he called this vault #2."
Jimmy then asked, "Do you know where Plankton is?"
They all shook their heads no.
Jimmy sighed, and then Ginger decided to ask a more welcoming and relaxing question, "Are you guys doing alright?" Asked Ginger.
Everyone smiled, finally, a question they all had a good answer too.
Spongebob shrugged, "If you called feeling completely cold and miserable in a cage for the past many hours alright, then very, very, alright."
Cindy then said, "We're doing ok, it's just so boring, and terrible, and scarry down here. None of us have been kidnapped before." Cindy frowned.
Jimmy patted her on the shoulder, making a notion not to worry.
Dodie looked around the dungeon, "I guess this is kind of cozy, not a Courtney Gripling cozy, but it's not like we'll be stuck here forever, I mean, the others are coming, right?"
Jimmy shrugged, "We have no contact with them, I have the other walkie-talkie."
Kimi also was frowning, "By the looks of it, we might never see our friends and families again! This is terrible! We have to figure out something to do to save our skin, and his brain." Kimi pointed to Jimmy.
"Don't remind me," Jimmy grumbled, clearly being de-brained didn't come bright to him, and who could blame him.
"Maybe CatDog will get back to Arlene and the others," Cindy suggested.
Jimmy smiled, "Hey, I didn't think of that! Maybe there's a way we can contact Catdog!"
"How?" Asked Libby.
"Libby, do you still have your cell phone?" Jimmy asked.
"Yeah," Libby replied.
Then Jimmy turned to Kimi, "Do you have that ever lasting battery (from chapter 3: Cell-Phones and Brains)?"
Kimi smiled, "Sure do!"
Then Jimmy turned to Dodie and Cindy, "Would you girls happen to have any bobby pins?"
Cindy and Dodie rolled their eyes, and Cindy said, "Of course! We're girls, and this is an escaping story, of course we have bobby pins!"
Dodie nodded in agreement.
Jimmy turned to Spongebob, "Can I use some of that fabric from your tie, Spongebob?"
"If it'll save us, sure!" Spongebob replied.
Jimmy lastly turned to Ginger, "Do you have any type of bracelet or necklace?"
Ginger held out a necklace, "What do you think this is?" Her voice was in of course a jokingly way.
Jimmy smiled, "Then I think we have ourselves an escape plan!"
