~chapter 26~
The Giant has scooped them up and carried them inside. The inside of the castle was huge. Huge… that's such an understatement. The roof reached at least 200 feet tall. The room was also filled with furniture, which was also extremely large. They felt like insects compared to the scale of the room. The giant set them on the table rather violently, causing them to lose their balance and fall onto the wooden surface.
"Great, lemme guess, you're gonna eat us?" Link said.
"HAHAHA!" the giant roared with laughter. "Oh, I mean yes." He began to hum to himself.
"Wonderful, now we get to be eaten by a giant." JD muttered.
"Actually…" the giant pulled out spectacles and a planner. "I'm rather busy now. Tonight I have that committee meeting; tomorrow I have that village to wreck, the next I planned on making a meal out of an entire field of cattle, and the day after I have my floral decorative basket weaving class. I just won't have any free time to prepare you; goodness knows how long you little people take to get the flavor just right." He smacked his lips and gave a slight guffaw. He scooped up the group again and set them in separate glass jars.
"I'll just keep you in here until then." Said the giant before trotting off to do whatever giants do in their spare time.
'I'm beginning to think this whole thing is a lot more trouble than it's worth." Link muttered.
"Worry not, we'll get out of this." JD said.
"Right, so how do we do it?" Mitch asked.
"Well, we… um…" JD paused
"I got an idea." Link said. He quickly jumped at the side of the jar.
"Poor boy's gone looney…" Bobby muttered. Link ran to the other side of the jar and jumped at it. He continued running back and forth, throwing his body weight into the sides of the jar.
"Link, do you mind telling us what the hell you are doing?" JD asked. Link kept his motion up. Slowly, the jar started to shake back and forth, the edge raising a little higher each time.
"Ah, I see, he's tipping the jar over." Justin said. Link ran into it a final time and it leaned over, balancing on the edge then…. It tipped over onto its side. And then began to roll.
"Gah!" Link cried out as he was tossed around like clothes in a dryer as the jar rolled across the table at an increasing rate.
"Um… Link… you might want to stop before you go off the…" JD began, but was cut off as Link's glass slipped off the table as Link's scream faded away, followed by a *smash*.
"Edge…" JD muttered. They all craned their necks to try and see… but since they were so small, and the table was so big… well yeah, pretty stupid.
"You alright Link?" Justin called. Silence.
"Well, doesn't that suck?" Mitch said. There was a long silence.
"Um… so what now?" Ron asked.
"One thing's for sure, no tipping jars over." JD said. A voice came from below, but it was not Links."
"What the crap is all this glass? And why is Link unconscious?"
"Who's that?" JD asked.
"I recognize that voice!" Justin shouted.
"Where are you guys?"
"We're busy frolicking in a field of daisies with the giant… WE'RE ON THE TABLE!" Bobby shouted. Moments later, Jared appeared at the edge of the table.
"But… How did you… The Greeble…" JD said.
"Apparently Greebles have no read stomach. I was lucky it swallowed me whole." Jared said. "What's with Link?"
"He fell off the table, is he ok?" Justin asked.
"He looked alright, just knocked out." And then, as if on cue, a groan was heard from below.
"What the hell was I thinking…" Link's dazed voices muttered on the floor.
"Y'alright, Link?" Jared shouted.
"Jared?! Is that you?!" Link shouted back.
"Yeah, yeah, just get up here and help me get these guys out." Jared walked over to the jar Justin was in.
"How are we supposed—" Jaredf began, but was interrupted by the front doors opening.
"Hey! What's going on?!" a loud voice boomed. The giant was back.
