How the HELL did he do that?
"Who?" The woman asked.
"You don't know?" Justin asked back.
"Nope," the woman said.
Justin back down then, everyone else still staring at him.
"You kids are obviously not from around here," the woman said. "Only noobs would cross this bridge without knowing the password."
"Password?" Paff asked.
"Yeah," the woman nodded. "That's how you open that door." She pointed backwards towards the stone door.
"Oh," Yvon said. Then he made a silent groan.
"And those monsters...?" Samus asked.
"They're called Millipus," the woman answered. "A suitable name. Although, they obviously don't have a thousand tentacles, but, still."
"Well..." Jasmine started. "Who are you?"
"Oh, of course!" the woman exclaimed. "My name's Kimberly! But you can call me Kim."
The teens all looked at each other. The woman, named Kimberly, came to shake hands, carefully stepping over the holes in the dock. The teenagers didn't shake.
"What's the matter?" Kimberly asked.
"We knew a woman named Kimberly once," Justin said.
"And...?" Kaimberly asked.
"We watched her die the death she deserved!" Paff exclaimed.
"Oh...kay then," Kimberly backed away.
"And what are these?" Jasmine motioned to the creatures.
"Oh," Kimberly bent down, and the creatures got off her shoulders. "These are mine. This koala bear is Bobbles."
The koala showed it's razor teeth again. Kimberly spoke, "He was rapid when I found him. Now look at him; his unique chewers are a great tool to have. And he can hunt for himself."
"And what's that thing?" Samus pointed at the coosh-ball sort of thing.
"This is One," Kimberly said.
"Yeah, but, what do you call it?" Samus asked.
"One," Kimberly answered.
"Yeah, I can see there's one, but-"
"No, I mean it's name is One!" Kimberly exclaimed.
"What?" Jasmine asked.
"What kind of a name is One?" Paff asked.
"Well, he's a unique creature," Kimberly said. "I created his species. But, I need more money to create more of him. For now, I'm keeping him. And he's helpfull! He loves to care for the garden, too! One was the name I appointed him."
"You mean there was a Two?" Samus asked.
"Oh yes, but," Kimberly answered. "Poor Two didn't realize that window wasn't shatter proof. He's dead now."
"Was there a Three?" Jasmine asked.
"Oh, poor Three didn't know the icicles were loose."
"Four?" Justin asked.
"Oh, poor Four didn't know that plane was wired to blow."
"Five?" Paff asked.
"Oh, poor Five didn't know Neo was actually evil."
"Six?" Gers asked.
"Oh, poor Six didn't know that the door was about to close."
"Seven?" Yvon asked.
"Oh, poor Seven didn't see that tree root coming."
"Eight?" Samus asked.
"Oh, poor Eight didn't know Uranium was radioactive."
"Nine?" Justin asked.
"Oh, poor Nine didn't know kite strings conducted electricity."
"Ten?" Jasmine asked.
"Oh, poor Ten didn't know that the sniper had a hit on him."
"Eleven?" Paff asked.
"No, I never had an Eleven, or any number above that." Kimberly said.
"So there weren't any others, then?" Yvon asked.
"No, I have Zero!" Kimberly exclaimed.
"Zero?" Justin asked.
"Oh, poor Zero didn't know there was butter on the edge of that cliff."
The teenagers groaned, but Kimberly just seemed caught in her flashbacks.
"Anyways," she said, finally. "I guess you kids are heading to the city?"
"Yes, ma'am," Jasmine nodded.
"Well then," Kimberly turned, and faced the door. "Belah." the door swung open, suddenly, revealing it's dark passageway. Torches could be seen on the walls, lighting the passageway. "It'd be best if you kids stayed there. Do you have a place to stay?"
"No," Paff answered.
"Well, it doesn't matter," Kimberly shrugged. "Something tells me that you will find your way around, no problem!" And with that, Kimberly (Bobbles and One with her) jumped into her boat. She U-turned it quickly and sharply, and then rode away.
The teenagers headed into the cavern, and when all six were inside, the door closed.
Gers went up to Justin, "Why the hell would you ask a stranger something like that? She's not with them! Nobody is!"
"How do you know!" Justin hissed loudly. He strode along the caverns casually again, despite the fact everyone was staring at him.
