Triva Answer: Equation. "Oh, its an equation."
"Ready? Begin." The counciler instructed, waving a green flag.
"Um, should we really try to win this?" Chad asked.
"There is no other way to get out of here, unless we win." Kelsi replied.
"Come on, I don't want to be stuck here any longer." Gabriella said.
"Woah, Gabs. You really want to go in there? Look at your necklace." Troy replied, taking her hand.
"Yeah, I mean we want that trip. And the sooner we win this, the sooner we get out of here." Gabriella replied.
"Ok, lets win this." Ryan replied.
The friends started to walk into the woods. Cautiously.
"Already I am hating this." Taylor commented.
"Nothing has happened...yet." Gabriella replied.
"Look! There is one of the clues that leads us up to the treasure!" Sharpay said, pointing to a piece of paper hanging off a tree.
"How many do we have to find anyway?" Zeke asked.
"I think 10." Kelsi replied.
"What does it say?" Ryan asked.
"There are many things out here in the woods. And a few of those things are animals. You will find the next clue above your head, the animal looking straight ahead." Gabriella read out loud.
"I am sorry, but that was a pretty lame rhyme." Troy said.
"It was, but we want to get out of here, so look up!" Taylor said.
The friends looked up, and stared at the trees.
"I don't see anything." Jason stated, looking around.
"There!" Chad yelled, pointing to a bird's nest.
"Of course!" Kelsi said, starting to jump up to reach the nest.
"Do you need help?" Jason asked.
"Yeah." Kelsi replied, blushing.
"Here get on my back, ill give you a piggy back ride, so you are a little taller." Jason said, leaning down.
"Thanks." Kelsi said, climbing on.
Kelsi was on his back, trying to reach for the red paper.
"Aww, look." Sharpay said, pointing to her friends.
"I know, how sweet." Gabriella added.
"I know." Taylor added.
"Listen to them dude, they think that is sweet." Chad said, listening in on the girl's conversation.
"I know dude, maybe if we do that, we will win their hearts." Zeke added.
Troy was about to open his mouth when his phone rang.
"Dude. Why is your pants ringing?" Chad asked, pointing to him.
"Please, it's my phone." Troy replied, taking it out.
"Hello?"
"Who is he talking to?" Ryan asked.
"Who knows." Zeke replied.
Just then, a shadow blew across the friends, but quickly dissapearing.
"What the heck was that?" Taylor asked.
"I don't know." Chad replied.
"Ok, this is getting a little freaky now." Sharpay added.
"Got it!" Kelsi said, getting off Jason.
"What does it say?" Sharpay questioned, coming up to them.
"It says, acorns usually fall off the trees. Where do they land? That is where you will find your next clue." Kelsi read.
"The ground?" Ryan stated.
"Ok, no offence to them, but they are really bad at making clues." Taylor added.
"But seriously, what the heck was that?" Zeke asked.
"What was what?" Jason asked.
"It was like this shadowy figure, and it just dissapeared." Ryan explained.
"Where is Troy?" Gabriella asked, getting worried.
"Yeah, where is he?" Sharpay added.
"Over there, talking to someone on his phone." Chad said, pointing at him.
"I bet'cha 10 bucks that its Tiffany and he is breaking up with her." Kelsi said, sarcastically.
"Haha, I would love to see that." Gabriella replied.
"Guys guess what?" Troy said, coming over.
"What?" Zeke replied.
"I broke up with Tiffany." Troy said, smiling.

"Aren't you guys happy?" Troy asked.
"..."
"Are you CRAZY! OH YEAH WE ARE HAPPY!" Chad replied.
"FINALLY!" Sharpay yelled. "Wait."
"What?" Troy asked.
"Who knocked some sense into his head?" Taylor interupted.
"That was what I was going to say!" Sharpay replied.
"YES! THE THING IS GONE!" Gabriella screamed.
"She is gone!" The friends sang, cheering.
"Anyways, what did the clue say?" Troy asked, his eye color flickering to green, but instantly changing back.
"Guys." Gabriella said, backing away from Troy.
"What's a matter Gabs?" Kelsi asked.
"Yeah, he broke up with her." Ryan added.
"Then why is he happy?" Sharpay replied, also getting a little suspicious.
"I don't know, but who cares?" Chad asked.
"What was the next clue?" Troy asked, getting angry for his little patience.
"Dude, calm down." Jason said.
"Guys my necklace-" Gabriella said.
"Dude calm down!" Chad added, staring at his friend.
"When did Troy change his eye color?" Kelsi stated.
"What are you talking about?" Sharpay asked.
"T-that." Kelsi replied, studdering.
The friends turned to look at their friend, his eyes were now ice green.
"GUYS!" Gabriella yelled.
"What? Look at Troy, there is something wrong with our friend." Chad pointed out.
"Listen to me! He-" Gabriella started, watching 'Troy' change right before their eyes. "MOVE!"
The friends just stared in fear and amazement.
"Did you hear me? I said MOVE!" Gabriella yelled, pushing her friends out of the way.
"What happened?" Zeke asked.
"That isn't Troy." Gabriella stated, as they ran.
