Chapter One- The Earthquake.
Summer Forest, Avalar
One day Elora and Spyro were at Elora's house playing video games. They took a break and decided that they were hungry and would have a snack.
"Let's make peanut butter and jelly!" exclaimed Spyro.
"Yummy!" said Elora.
Well, when the dragon and faun were finished, they found out that they weren't very good cooks. Elora's sandwich looked all right when she had started, but then she tried to fry it in a pan, put syrup on it, and somehow an old sock was found somewhere in the middle. Spyro's was inside - out! They decided not to eat the sandwiches, because their doctor had told them the dangers of eating their own "cooking". Just when they thought all hope was lost, Spyro had an idea.
"Elora, I have an idea," he said, with about as much enthusiasm as it takes to watch a blade of grass grow, knowing that his friend would most likely not go along with the plan. But Elora did agree with his idea. When Spyro told her, she said,
"Let's go"!
Then they started out the door.
Meanwhile at Chateau Ripto…
Ripto was lying on the couch holding his head.
"Stupid migraine" he growled to himself.
All of a sudden, he heard the doorbell ring.
"DingDong"
"DingDong"
"Dingdongdingdongdingdong".
Just as he thought things couldn't get any worse, he opened the door to come face-to-face with the purple dragon that always succeeded in ruining his day.
"Hi!" Spyro said happily. Elora, who was standing right behind him, waved.
"What do you want?" Ripto snarled.
Elora spoke up.
"We heard that you were the only one around here who had an automatic peanut-butter-and-jelly making machine.
"And we were just wondering if we could use it." Spyro added in.
"No" Ripto yelled at the two, and slammed the door in their faces.
"DingDong."
Ripto opened the door again.
"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease."
"No. Now go away, I have a headache!"
He slammed the door once more.
Ripto started walking back to the couch, hoping that they would go away. To his displeasure, he heard Elora again.
"Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. But we're just gonna keep ringin' the dumb bell 'till you let us use the machine!"
"We are?" he heard Spyro ask.
"Yes, we are Spyro, even if we have to STAND HERE ALL DAY!" Elora yelled the last four words loud enough so that the Riptoc could hear them nice and clear.
"Oooooooooooh" came Spyro's reply.
"YEAH"! he yelled extra loud at the door.
Ripto couldn't stand them any longer, so he opened the door and yelled
"Fine, but only 'cause I want you to leave. And you get five minutes." He held out his five fingers to prove his point. "Wow." said Spyro as he started towards the kitchen. "Really nice place ya got here. When was" – "Just use the machine and get outta here!" Ripto yelled at the dragon. He only let them in because he wanted them out of his hair (Which is odd because he doesn't have any).
Spyro and Elora walked down the hallways of Chateau Ripto, which were dark, and mostly lit with candlelight. The walls in the Chateau themselves seemed to glitter with the diamonds that were set in almost every inch of the fine granite that surrounded them. The mansion almost looked like it could have belonged to Moneybags! The shine from the walls was so bright that the Dragon and the Faun, who weren't used to this like Ripto was, had to shield their eyes unless they wanted them singed out of their sockets…it was beautiful!
Five minutes later…
Elora and Spyro came out of the kitchen with a backpack filled to the brim with sandwiches. Spyro was eating one. When they were walking back down the hallways, they took out spray paint, and decided to do some graffiti on the walls. Spyro painted a picture of Ripto's head, but he had googely eyes, and a nose that was larger than necessary. Elora did a heart with "Spyro + Elora 4 eva'" inside of it.
They finally made it to the grand lobby, which was decorated with a huge, diamond chandelier on the ceiling, and a ton of doorways that led to who knows where. But when they were greeted by a big surprise, as well as an ear-shattering rumbling sound almost the second they set foot in the entrance hall. Suddenly, the whole Chateau started to shake. You guessed it – an earthquake. A really BIG earthquake. The three could hear sounds of large boulders and/or rock debris falling around the building because unfortunately, Ripto lived right next door to Avalar's second largest "Boulder Farm". But as quickly as it started, it stopped. Spyro hurriedly ran over and looked out of one of the few windows in Chateau Ripto. Rocks. He saw rocks. Heavy, impossible to move, rocky, rocks. Elora started to push on the front door. Nothing. Ripto, Spyro, and Elora started to run around the castle pushing on various doors and windows. Elora even tried to push open a sunroof in the living room that wouldn't budge. But still, nothing. They all met back in the main hall. A thought had just occurred to Ripto. If we can't get out, we're stuck in here. Together!
Well, as chapter one comes to a close… um…chapter two starts!
