Author's note: Samlover? If you've been reading my stories as much as you say you were, why has that been the first review I've gotten from you? Oh well. Time for the next chapter.

Chapter 7: Earth Temple approach

AFTER THE SHOW
"Wow, that was pretty fun," Alex said. Sam and I agreed.
When the coast was clear, Sam approached the guard guarding Tina D.'s trailer with a sheet of paper. "Excuse me? Would you mind having Tina D. sign an autograph for me?"
"No sweat," the guard responded, and he entered the trailer. A moment later, he returned with Tina D.'s signature on the sheet of paper.
Meanwhile, I contacted Jerry on my DS. "Jerry, you may know that we're on the game show RPGames. Can you run a search on all the contestants who've ever been on the show and where they are now? I smell foul play."
On the screen, Jerry blinked. "Well, I don't see why, but okay. Just a moment. I'll be back with the analysis in a moment."
"Wait, Jerry, one more thing." I took Tina D.'s autograph and put it on the DS touch screen. "Have this scanned for handwriting analysis."
"Okay. I'll be back with everything by this time tomorrow. Good luck."
THE NEXT DAY
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to RPGames! Tina D. here, and I'm happy to bring you footage of the next leg of the adventures of this week's contestants, Samantha, Leo, and Alexandra. When we last left them, they had just saved the king from the hunter-turned-beast Otora. They're about to set off to find the four rings that may save the land. Let's look.
We left the house as Alex looked at the map. "Looks to me that we should start by going north. The Earth Temple is just past Moose Meadow. Come on, let's go."
After leaving the city and starting down the path, things were quiet for a while. Then, a flash of light took us to what looked like a little field. On one side were us, on the other side, two raccoon-looking things. Random battle time! It's the three-member team against two Raccoons. Let's see who wins.
I acted first and shot an arrow at one raccoon. Sam kicked the same raccoon, and Alex attempted to steal something from the OTHER raccoon. She got a Magic Vial 1 (who knows why he had that thing). Then, each raccoon tried to bite us, but neither did any damage.
The second turn was just as successful. I took down the first raccoon with one more arrow while Sam and Alex attacked the second, with Sam using a magical attack. He fell as well. A battle has been won! The girls and the boy get an extra 9 G, and 8 EXP apiece to boot! And … LOOK AT THAT! Leo is ready for a level up!
I was enveloped in a shaft of light. When it cleared, I felt stronger. All right, Leo. Your HP and MP have increased by 2 each, and your Defense has gone up by 1. Be proud, glorious hunter!
After the battle ended, we continued on. We fought some more annoying foes, and Alex got the next level up. Eventually, though, we made it to Moose Meadow. We could see what HAD to be the Earth Temple past a fallen tree, but there was no apparent way to get to it. "Drat," Alex muttered. "Now what do we do?"
There was a sign that we hadn't noticed before. It said, "Warning: Do not feed apples from the tree on your left to the rabbits in the area."
"When it says not to do something like that in an RPG," I advised the girls, "it's generally a good idea to do it." Sam plucked an apple and handed it to a rabbit, who loved it. It then jumped Sam and stuffed her into one of his big rabbit ears, and did the same with Alex and me. (We decided not to ask questions.) After doing that, it hopped off.
The rabbit squeezed under the fallen tree and made a huge hop that took him into his burrow. As he did, we tumbled out of his ear and landed in a heap on the ground. "Okay," Sam declared, "THAT was totally weird."
"Agreed," Alex replied, "but at least we can get to the Earth Temple now. Come on, let's go." We entered.

What's next? You won't find out until the next chapter! And Mat, here's the idea I was thinking of:
Instead of doing a real Totally Spies episode, you can do one of my Totally Spies stories instead. Choose whichever one you want, but it has to be one that's already complete. What will you choose to be doing? Hiding in the vents, witnessing Clover's transformation into a fox? Watching the ocean from the S.S. Toybox while hand in hand with Brittney? Hacking through the jungle of the Carlsbad Apartments atrium floor? The choice is yours.
