Meanwhile, back on the deserted island...

"Thank god!" cried Meara as the key came out of Trist's parrot body (I won't go into the details). She grabbed the tiny gold key and quickly unlocked the unbreakable cage. Immediately, Trist got them both out of the hole. "OK, I'm gonna throw this key into the ocean, so no one finds it again...and I might as well throw the cage too." Leo appeared out of nowhere (not the place, he was on the island, idiot), perfectly healed (c'mon he had three days, no one stays downtrodden that long). And so Trist took them to where their nine friends (coughs) were in a state of despair...

At THE ADVENTURE STORE...

"What are we going to do!!??" cried Cisca (over-reacting, as usual)

"Buy a different adventure?" suggested Ron. Everyone stared at him as if he had just said the worst swear in the history of the world.

"Imagine, 26 more cents and we would be in the adventure of our lives!!!!!"

"Need more money?" asked a familiar voice behind them.

"YEA! MONEY!!" Yells Nikki in excitement.

"Yes Nikki money, its amazing. Will you give us 26 cents," but before Bekki finishes she realizes that it is Trist and Meara who were there, and cough, leo. "HEY! Whats happening?" Completely acting as if everything is normal.

"You know perfectly WELL what's happening." Says Meara quite shrewdly which i dont understand why...

"Well anyway, its a good thing we were able to get out, so now we can join u in the adventure," gleefully replies Leo and Meara.

After that there are a few murmurs of "crap" and "damnit bekki", not that I WOULD BE ANGRY ABOUT THAT LAST COMMENT! But enough of my problems, they will get their just rewards. hehe. I mean, have lots of fun cause they bought the freakin adventure and went in, but there was a slight problem.

"Wait, does anyone know how to work this thing??" Asks Cisca already frantic.

There is a answer of a group "no"

"What? ARE WE OLD PEOPLE OR SOMETHING? U MEAN NONE OF US READ THE DIRECTIONS!!" Cries out Bekki. "Great, so we just have to figure out how to work this thing. By the way, where are we? Are we in Nowhere?"
