Here we are-

"Ron, hold on! I'm coming!"

The boy struggled to hold on to the narrow strip of land that served as the creek's bank.

Before she could even think about what she was doing, Kim was plummeting down herself. (Keep in mind 10 feet is huge to a 4 year old.) It seemed to last forever; all the while she was thinking 'Oh please God save Ron, I promise I'll do anything I'll go back home and never do a bad thing ever again, please help us!'

She had a rough landing in the dirt but miraculously she was unscathed.

"Kim!" Ron screamed in amazement. He was now being swept along by the dark water a few yards away. He held out his hand. There was no way she could reach. She took a broken tree limb and extended it towards her friend.

Just a couple more inches…almost there…got it!

In her attempt to reach far enough Kim accidentally fell into the creek. It was much deeper than it looked, the bottom was nowhere in sight.

"Don't let go!" she could barely see Ron's head sticking out above the water.

The creek, it turns out, was no creek at all. It was sort of a tributary to a wide, winding stream. And Kim and Ron were in it.

Oddly, she did not panic. The redhead was trying to figure out a way to get out of this and wondered how Ron was doing. But she did not panic.

The strong current moved them along for what seemed like hours. They were tired, but neither let go of the branch. The stream took them through sharp turns and rocky water, and nothing was in sight except for wilderness.

Finally they were thrown into a crevasse. Both first examined themselves, surprised they were still alive, then saw their surroundings.

"Is this an underground cave?" Ron stared at the rock walls.

"Who cares? As long as its dry."

"Kim, you're hurt! Your legs are scraped up."

"You don't look so great yourself, Ron." She pointed to his bleeding elbow.

In an epic love story, one of them would tear a piece of clothing to use as a bandage for the other's wounds. Lucky for us, these are little kids in a traumatic situation.

He shrugged. Kim looked down and noticed that the cave wasn't as dry as she had thought.

"Hey, I think I have some soggy Pixie Muffins in my pocket. Want to share until someone finds us? Wait a minute, what is it?"

"Th-the cave's going to flood," she whispered. "We're trapped."

Ron's eyes grew wide. "You- you mean we're going to- die?"

Another cliffhanger!

Nasty, I know. But don't worry, they will not die. That would be inconsistent with the show, plus I like them too much to do that. And yet…

How will they get out? You'll see.
