Before the girls entered the 1st stage in world 2, Brittney's compowder rang again. She took it out and I appeared on the small screen.
"Now what." Brittney said as Sam gathered around her left shoulder.
"Now new enemies lie ahead like ghosts in the fortress, Micro-Goombas, that hide in some wooden blocks, fire snakes, which are the long fireball enemies, and some of the same enemies from world 1 like the regular goombas and buzzy beetles and others. This world is made up of a desert, but there is a stage that requires a swim. As you 2 girls know it is the 2nd stage." I explained. (A/n: If the word, desert rings a bell to you, then you might be thinking of season 2's "I want my Mummy.")
Brittney closed her compowder after I finished speaking to her and Sam. Then, they quickly entered the 1st stage.
The sun was shining brightly, like back in the real world.
"It's a good thing we mostly do our missions in the dry," Sam said.
Brittney and Sam both started running until they came to a block that jumped by itself.
"What is that?!" Sam screamed, jumping out of the way.
Brittney jumped over Sam's head after she landed on the ground and took out the Micro-Goomba that was inside the block.
"Thanks, Brittney. I owe you big time." Sam said in relief.
"No problem, I think that was the Micro-Goomba thing that Mathew was talking about." Brittney said, lending her hand to Sam's helping her up off the ground.
The 2 girls continued on, jumping over blocks and taking out enemies along the way. They came across 2 ? blocks as they were running. Sam stood on the left side, and Brittney stood on the right. They both jumped up and Sam wound up with a coin, and Brittney got a starman. She ran and grabbed it and her and Sam became invincible. The 2 girls ran taking out the fire snakes and Micro-Goombas, and all the other enemies.
They had made it through the 1st stage in one piece, but more still lay ahead.
Before they entered, Brittney's compowder rang again. "Hmm? What now, Mathew?" She asked.
"Girls, this is the next swimming level, but be careful because there is quicksand in some stages as well as enemies called Cheep-Cheeps that are in a lake. The Cheep-Cheeps are fish in either red or green. In this case, it is green. I'd strongly advise you 2 to use a fire flower. Don't worry the water doesn't wash away the fireballs, but it will kill the fish. Are you 2 changing?" I asked after explaining the detail to the girls.
"Well, this desert level is even hotter than a real one, so I'm changing no doubt about it." Sam said after thinking it over for a moment. She then turned to Brittney.
"I suppose I'll change too." Brittney said.
"Can you look away until I say so?" Sam requested as sweet as she could be.
"Sure thing." I said, turning my head away.
Brittney put down her compowder while her and Sam sat on the ground and started taking off their green and blue boots, then they stood up and took off their heart shaped belts that were fastened around their waists, and finally, their gloves. Then the 2 girls started unzipping their blue and green spy jumpsuits until they were reduced to their bathing suits and folded them neatly. Sam stood in her green one-piece bathing suit with her sides showing and Brittney stood in a plain blue one-piece bathing suit.
"You can turn around now, Mathew. We're finished changing." Sam said after she picked up Brittney's compowder.
"Okay, now, girls, in the transmission, I also set up for you 2 to pick up your clothes storers at the end of the stage. Remember, there are a couple of quicksand chasms in this stage. So be careful. And there is a super leaf in a wood block, but if you get it, you won't be able to defeat the enemies in the lake. Also there's a pipe at the other end of the lake, which is your way out and to the goal," I explained after turning around.
"Okay, then. Thanks for the advice, Mathew." Sam said sweetly.
After they changed, Brittney closed her compowder and put it in one of her pockets of her blue jumpsuit while Sam reached into the item box and pulled out a fire flower, and parts of their bathing suits turned orange. Before they both placed their neatly folded spy jumpsuits in the clothes storers, Brittney and Sam took out their backpacks, zipped it open and took out their breathe-easy-go-anywhere masks, which were in the shape of a heart. Then they closed up their backpacks, placed them back in their clothes storers and they disappeared from them and then reappeared at the end of the stage.
"You never know when these things come in handy," Sam said.
"Mm-hmm. Let's get started. We've still got a ways to go," Brittney stated looking even more serious than ever. She held her mask in the palm of her hand.
"My thought's exactly, Brittney," Sam said to her also holding her mask in the palm of her hand.
And with that, the 2 gals entered the 2nd stage.
In there, they pointed their fingers at every enemy they saw, releasing fireballs. On the first leap across a quicksand chasm, Brittney made it cleanly, but Sam couldn't jump far enough, and almost fell in the quicksand. She tried holding the ground with the side of her hand, but it slipped! She had landed feet first in the quicksand. Sam started panicking as she slowly started sinking. Just when things were not looking good, Brittney, hearing Sam's calls for help after she took a quick glance over her shoulder and seeing Sam didn't make it across the chasm cleanly, quickly grabbed her hand and with all her strength, yanked Sam out of the quicksand. Both of Sam's feet and half of her legs were covered in quicksand as she landed right on Brittney's torso accidentally getting quicksand on her knees and a part of her blue bathing suit. Brittney's face was buried in Sam's stomach.
"Thanks again, Brittney. I thought I was going down," Sam said sighing in relief after getting off of Brittney.
"My pleasure, Sam. Are you okay," Brittney asked.
"Mm-hmm, but I hope this quicksand will come off. Maybe I should've stayed in my spy outfit. Oh and uh, sorry about me landing and getting quicksand on you," Sam said apologizing and looking a little embarrassed at the quicksand on her legs and feet.
"It's no big deal, Sam, but hold your head up. Mathew said there's only one more chasm to jump across so let's try get across cleanly and maybe the quicksand will come off when we jump in the lake. Now let's hurry up and get it off before it completely dries up," Brittney said, trying to cheer Sam up.
This time, when the 2 girls made it to the final quicksand chasm, Sam jumped across first, making it clean. Then she stepped forward to make room for Brittney's leap. Brittney got a running start then, with all her strength, jumped as far as she could. She landed on the same spot where Sam landed. They had both made it across cleanly.
"Nice leap, Brittney." Sam complimented sweetly.
"Yours was as good as mine." Brittney complimented back.
"Look, there's the lake," Sam said excitedly.
"Mm-hmm, thank goodness. Now let's hurry and jump in. The quicksand is just nearly starting to dry." Brittney said in excitement too.
The 2 girls ran as fast as they could jumping up 2 wood blocks that led to the lake with the enemies. They were still equipped with the fire flower Sam had taken out before they started the stage. The 2 girls noticed a wood platform above the lake. Sam laid one of her toes on it then the platform started drifting away with no one on it.
"Guess Mathew forgot to tell us about that platform, but at least we have all the room we want when we jump in." Sam said.
"Mm-hmm, but let's not forget that we have the breathe-easy-go-anywhere masks Jerry gave us. Besides, even though this lake is pretty small, we won't have a problem coming up for air and losing the fire flower." Brittney said to Sam.
"Yet, this might be a mirage, and we would've worn our bathing suits for nothing. Do you think it's a mirage, Brittney?" Sam asked turning to her.
"That's what I'm gonna find out." Brittney said putting on her breathe-easy-go-anywhere mask.
Still wearing their bathing suits, Brittney and Sam finished their quick conversation then were ready to take a swim. Brittney gingerly walked to the edge of the top wood block then she jumped into the lake. Sam could hear the sound of Brittney's splash as the fresh water washed away the quicksand on her knees and blue bathing suit. "The lake isn't a mirage, Sam. Jump in and see for yourself." Brittney said after she came up to the surface and got out of the way and waited for Sam to jump in. Her long dark hair and her light skinned body and her blue bathing suit were wet.
Maybe Brittney's right, Sam thought as she put on her breathe-easy-go-anywhere mask. The redheaded girl took a deep breath, and quickly jumped into the lake. When she landed inside, she could hear her own splash as well as feel the water touching her body and her bathing suit. When she came up to the surface, Sam looked down at her legs and noticed the quicksand was gone. Brittney was right. "Brittney, you were right. Ooh, this feels like taking a nice warm bath," Sam said feeling like she was in her hot tub back home.
Strategically, the 2 girls decided to stay submerged underwater. While submerged, they pointed their fingers at the Cheep Cheeps that were in their way, killing them one by one. Underneath the water were a few wood blocks. Brittney and Sam swam around them and continued on. While underwater, Sam noticed the other side of the lake. "I can see the end of the lake," she said to Brittney.
In their way was one last Cheep-Cheep. This time, Brittney pointed her finger at it, releasing a fireball and killed it. A few moments later, the spies were at the end of the lake. They waded out of the lake while taking off their breathe-easy-go-anywhere masks from their faces.
"I hope we can dry off. I don't want to wear my jumpsuit over my soaked bathing suit." Sam stated. Her entire body, including her green bathing suit and her long red hair were completely soaked.
"Count me in." Brittney said. Her entire body, including her blue bathing suit and her long dark hair were completely soaked.
"Look, the pipe. It's the way out." Sam said.
The 2 girls crawled into the pipe, wet bathing suits and all. After they came out, they saw the goal, and their clothes storers. They grabbed their clothes storers and made their way to the goal of the stage. Next ahead was the fortress.
"Geez, all of a sudden I feel like going back and swimming again," Sam said while she opened her clothes storer and took out a towel Jerry had kept inside. Brittney had one in hers too.
"Well, Sam we'll do that after the mission. Right now, we've got to get dried off and dressed again," Brittney said.
Brittney and Sam grabbed their jumpsuits after drying off. Their bathing suits were still a little wet, but they slipped their green and blue jumpsuits back on anyway. Brittney grabbed her compowder out of her pocket and called me once again. "Mathew, that was the next stage with swimming, but where's the next one?" she asked.
"Stage 4, but you've got to ignore it because it doesn't lead anywhere. There is more swimming in the next world, which as you know, is the sea. Where are you 2 now?" I asked after explaining the details to them.
"We're at the fortress. What's the word?" Sam asked.
"You 2 oughtta take a starman out of the item box and once you enter the fortress, run and jump high. If you're fast and lucky enough, you could destroy every enemy in the first part of the fortress." I said holding up an index finger in the air.
"Okay, thanks." Sam said to me as sweet as she was.
Brittney reached into the item box and took out one of the starmen and they both became invincible, then they entered the fortress.
Once inside, Sam and Brittney ran as fast as they could touching every enemy in the first leg of the fortress as fast as they could. Eventually, they wound up cleaning up the leg of the fortress before the starman wore off of both of them. They jumped up into an only pipe and they wound up in the next leg of the fortress. Sam and Brittney quickly jumped to a platform where a Whomp fell straight down to their feet. It just missed Sam's boot. Once it went back up, the 2 girls jumped to the other platform and ran as fast as they could past a few more Whomps and made their way to a door. Sam went in the door first, while Brittney followed. Ahead were some spiked platforms that were falling down slowly. Once the first platform was raised back up, Brittney and Sam both ran as fast as they could underneath it, eventually making it. They did the same for the other 2 platforms and found another door, but it was being raised and descended along with the spiked platforms.
Once the door came up, the 2 girls entered it and were in one last room where they saw a Boom-Boom sleeping. Brittney took out her compowder, but after she took it out, it rang. "What now, Mathew?" She asked opening it up.
"You girls haven't faced this enemy yet. It's called a Boom-Boom. Defeating it easy. All you have to do is stomp on it 3 times, but not when he's curled up." I explained, then Brittney closed her compowder.
The 2 girls walked over to where the Boom-Boom was sleeping, then the battle had started. Sam stomped on it first, then Brittney, then Sam one last time. They had beaten the Boom-Boom for the very first time.
Next ahead was the 3rd of the 6 numbered stages.
Working together, Sam and Brittney made it through the next few stages and the pyramid and the desert stage no problem. Next ahead was the airship, then the sea world. They knew the sea world meant more swimming and more changing, but they didn't mind at all.
(Will Sam and Brittney make it through world 2? Will they ever use the whistles they found? Review this chapter and I'll update as soon as I can. If you have a comment or something about Sam and Brittney changing from their jumpsuits to their bathing suits in stage 2, please be nice about it. I'll wait for more reviews. If you review more, then the most likely I will update sooner.)
