The Goonies and company walk farther through the tunnel and spread out to explore. Mikey, Data, and Mouth take their time investigating up on a ledge to look at the walls for markings or any other signs.
"So guys, what about Scott?" Mouth asks suddenly. Data and Mikey take turns looking at each other and then back to him.
"What about him?" Data asks back.
"So, if he's Kelly's brother, is he a Goonie?"
"No." Mikey answers back quickly. "Kelly isn't a Goonie."
"Right, I guess she hasn't taken the oath." Mouth scratches his head and chuckles. "I thought you would have done that already so you can have an excuse to, I don't know, sneak in a kiss or something."
"Mouth, that's disgusting. I would never want to do that."
"What? You don't think she's pretty?"
"No! She's Kelly. That's weird. You're weird. Stop." Mikey rolls his eyes as Mouth makes kissy faces at him.
Data chuckles. "You two don't get it, do you?"
They stop and look at him, obviously confused. Data shakes his head and sighs. "Kelly makes goo goo eyes at Brand all the time. She really likes him, but she won't do anything about it when he's got his eyes on Andy instead."
Mouth's mouth drops. "I… wow."
Mikey remains silent and crosses his arms. His eyes shift to the ground.
"Kelly likes older guys?" Mouth slicks his hair back. "Maybe being a few months older works for her too."
"Mouth, shut up." Mikey intervenes. "We're dropping this right now. It isn't our business."
-ooOoo-
Kelly watches the boys from above and frowns. At least one of them was usually with her, and now she's stuck with her boring brother.
"So, is she single?" He points at Andy.
"No, she and Brand are together."
He playfully punches her arm. "You okay, dweebo?"
"No, it's just. They know about Troy."
"So? They're going to like you less for that?"
"Yes, they are. Uncle Tom wants to foreclose his house."
"Oh…" He scratches his head. "Well, if they're your real friends, they won't just disown you because of who you're related to. You aren't the one trying to get rid of them."
"We have to help them, Scott."
"With WHAT?" Scott says angrily. "Have you forgotten why we moved in the first place?"
"…No."
"Good, now like your friend said before, if we don't find this treasure stuff, they get their house foreclosed, and then a lot of extra shit. We could use some of that treasure too. Or, I could use it. For Elaine."
"So, you're not attracted to Andy anymore?"
"Well hey, might as well look around in case we don't move back." He chuckles. "If you really want your friends to like you after finding out about the Troy thing, why not put in all of your effort and really show you care by finding the treasure for them. Now you've got a whole new goal."
"…Yeah. You're right."
Just as they were about to split up, Brand interrupts with a shout. "The Fratellis!"
The whole group scatters into another tunnel that resembles the mouth of a skull. They all lock arms as they run away. Eventually, the come up to a river with only a log that serves as a bridge to help them across.
They all look at it wearily before Kelly steps in and takes the lead. "This way! To the treasure!" She carefully steps across as others follow behind her.
Data hasn't even started yet as the gang finishes walking across. They all yell at him to hurry when he looks up with a smile.
"I have a great idea guys! Slick shoes!"
"Slick shoes? Are you crazy?!" They yell back.
As he walks across, oil spills from the back of his shoes to make the log very slippery. He eventually makes it all the way to the end. None of them look back as they sprint away.
A couple of shots were fired and Mikey's hand barely misses a bullet. "Hey!"
They reach another room filled with cobwebs. No one can see because it's pitch black in there.
"Light those candles!" Andy yells.
Data takes them out and slowly lights them all. The new light reveals a piano made out of bones in the middle of the room.
Mouth takes out the map and starts to read. "To move on, play the tune as each note is said. If you make too many mistakes, ye will surely be… muerto."
"Muerto? What does that mean?" Stef asks.
"…Dead." Mouth flips over the map. "Guys! There are notes on this!"
"Andy! You took piano lessons!" Stef yells.
Andy gulps and lays the map out of the piano. "I was 4 years old…" Everyone continues to cheer her on as she finally gives in and starts to play.
She gets the first note right and a rock moves to reveal a small opening. The next note is wrong and part of the floor falls through. This process is repeated over and over until the door finally opens completely and they all get away.
In the next room is some sort of waterslide. Brand urges everyone to go down.
Mikey is about to go down when Kelly grabs his shoulder. "Mikey wait!"
"Yeah?"
Before she can start, Mouth pushes them down and everyone follows suit.
They all slide down into a large lake inside a cave. Data pops his head and looks around for the rest of them. Eventually they all suddenly appear out of the water.
Kelly swims around. "Mikey? Where are you?"
"I'm over here!" He meets her halfway and grabs onto her. "Kelly are you okay?"
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine!" They look at each other and giggle before their smiles fade. Kelly looks from his eyes to his lips, and back to his eyes again while Mikey laughs nervously. He looks away to avoid her gaze and his eyes grow wide. Soon she does the same and her mouth drops.
They all look the same way and cheer as they look at what's there: a giant pirate ship. They all take turns hugging each other.
Mikey makes his way back to Kelly and opens his mouth to say something when suddenly Stef cries out.
"Oh my god!" She exclaims while closely embracing Mouth. It takes a second for what she's doing to register before she cries out again and shoves him off.
They all excitedly swim over. They finally made it.
