Both Linda and Wendy sweat deeply knowing what fate had now thrown into
their way, a deadly trap, both at the mercy of each other, a single button
in front of them would kill either of them, or let one of them go, who
would let who die? Would they both die? Would they both escape? There were
only them, the doors, the buttons, and the hourglass.
The hourglass continued to drop the sand, now running on what seemed to be 10 minutes left.
Linda looked in her cell for anything that could help her, anything that could perhaps pry the door open, do something to let her out, but unfortunately, there was nothing. She looked to the door for any other hidden switches besides the button, but found nothing as well.
Wendy too was looking for things that could help her escape, but she too found nothing of use to help her. She then searched her own pockets, and found something, it was a small mechanical arm, she looked to the door, looking out to the hourglass through it, and reached the arm to the hourglass.
Looking out at what was happening, Linda began to bang the door furiously, thinking that Wendy was going to knock over the hourglass and stop their time right now, but that was not her intention.
The hand grabbed the pinched point of the hourglass and began to shake it a little, just as Wendy had planned, the sand in the hourglass, stopped, stuck in the middle of the tube!
Linda's jaw dropped at this, knowing now that they had some time to get a solution started, she watched as Wendy's mechanical arm pulled back and into her own cell, while that happened, Linda looked down to the floor in her cell, and began to think to herself of any solution out of this very tough predicament.
She then got a thought, she began to think that this riddle of a trap, was it true? Was it actually meant to kill someone? Was it truly meant to do what it says it was supposed to do? Linda pondered on this, and then finally nodded. She moved to the button, and looked at it, her eyes widened, and then the quickly slammed a fist on it.
As she struck the button, she felt the room start shaking, she saw Wendy's room also shaking, but the door had opened on her side.
Wendy shrieked, realizing that Linda had hit the button, she went over to her own button, and pressed it, opening Linda's door. Both rooms now though, were beginning to sink into the ground as if they were moles!
Wendy easily got out of her own room, while Linda scrambled out of the other room, almost getting her legs smashed by the roof as it crushed into the ground. "Oh my god..." thought Linda, now about to faint, "I can't believe I did that." "YOU CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THAT?!" said Wendy, obviously infuriated. "YOU ALMOST GOT US KILLED! I WAS A MINUTE TO GETTING US OUT AND YOU DID THAT!"
Linda fell over at this surprise outburst of Wendy's, and staggered to her feet. "I, guess I deserved that..." Linda said sheepishly, as she turned to the hourglass, which was now flowing again. "Hey, how'd that get started up again?" "I don't know." Said Wendy, looking at the flowing hourglass again. "But I think we best get out of her before that hourglass finishes."
The kids agreed, and ran out of the room, looking around for a way out, luckily, they found a door, but unfortunately, it had no handle! "Geeze!" Linda yelled, "Problem after problem in this darn place!" Wendy quickly took out a screwdriver from her pocket and went to work on the handle-less door. After about a minute of tinkering and a small popping sound, the door opened, they quickly sped into the door, and realized what they were standing on as soon as they got in...
They quickly slid down another chute! This chute though seemed to be a straight diagonal line, and they were sliding fast! At the end, they noticed a door, they tried to stop, but were unable, they sped right into the door, the door gave way, and they found themselves on top of Jam, Slash, and Tommy!
"Ow!" Jam said, rubbing the new bump on his head. "Oof!" Tommy said as they landed on his stomach. "At least they didn't hit me that hard." Slash said smiling, with not a scratch on him, Linda quickly fixed that with a smack of her board upon his forehead. "Ugh..." Slash moaned after the quick blow to the head. Meanwhile...
A cold, yet very determined Nancy was making her way through a series of windy caves, the tunnels and multiple entries and exits were confusing her, but something in her would not let her at all lose her determination.
She continued through the paths, coming forth to what seemed to be an ice bridge, she looked at it closely, it was VERY thin, she decided it would be best to try and grind it with her snowboard.
She was definitely right, she quickly jumped up with her snowboard, grinding the bridge like a pipe, the center of it collapsed, but she had enough time to gain leverage, and get herself back up atop the bridge, she then swept down the other end of the bridge, and onward...
Would she be alright? Will she be re-united with the Snowboard Kids? Only time will tell...
