Cordelia screamed when she felt a hand on her shoulder turning around everyone saw Melinda who told them "We have to find somewhere to go or we play it here." Looking at Buffy she saw the look on her face "The man is called Van Pelt, I lost him when he ran out of bullets which means next time we see him he will have more maybe even a new weapon."

Angel grabbed the board then the dice and rolled while saying "Going somewhere now will take too much time lucky for me the sun has set already." Looking at the black centre he read aloud "Don't be fooled, it isn't thunder. Staying put would be a blunder."

Everyone looked at either Melinda, Willow or Giles hoping for an answer, the ground began to shake, Dawn clutched onto the person closest to her who happened to be Angel who picked her up and held her to him.

Melinda looked behind everyone then shouted "It's a stampede run." She grabbed the game then everyone began running to somewhere safe, this took a long time luckily no one got hurt but at the last second they did have to dive out of the way.

Buffy looked at the game and rolled "Elephants charging! You must confess...A freight train's damage would be far less." Luckily the Elephants only added to the others in the stampede.

Melinda dropped the game just as she was about to grab it Xander did and rolled the dice saying "I best get my turn over and done with." It read this time "With six-foot wingspan, sound of swish. It thinks the game board is a fish."

Melinda groaned upon seeing more pelicans than she saw in the stampede orginally, one stopped near the game which Xander dropped when she groaned then picked it up before anyone could grab it.

Not thinking Xander began to chase it which caused everyone else to chase after him, eventually the pelican stopped at a river near the woods, Xander saw a fish grabbed it and chucked it at the Pelican just to have it kick the game into the river.

Buffy ran further ahead then seeing a toppled tree hanging over the river she grabbed the tree with her logs once she was half way then swung down grabbing the game just as it reached her hands. Swinging back up she took the offered hand from Melinda, both walked back to land where Buffy asked Melinda "What was in the stampede?"

"Elephants, Rhinos, Pelicans and more of the animals that have already appeared." Looking at Willow she asked "Whose turn is it next?"

Willow looked around then at the game "Cordelia."

Rolling the dice this appears "An angry sky hurls bolts of light. If you can't take cover, you'd better take flight." Cordelia then says "Lucky we do have cover then isn't it."

Melinda looks at her and sighs "Trees are not good cover against thunder."

Just as she said this bolts of lightning began hitting the ground around the woods then some hit the trees causing them to set light.

Buffy saw the fire then everyone else did and began running again just to end up in a busy road where everyone was running away from something, concentrating on this no one notices Van Pelt until he takes the game.

Dawn sees this and manages to get out of Angels hold, she weaves her way through everyone who is running past them now and grabs the game. He tries to grab her but she gets away, running she nearly gets hit by a car just for it to stop turning around she sees the stampede so she does the first thing that comes to mind she hides in the car below the steering wheel. She begins screaming when elephants begin running over the car.

Seeing her stuck Van Pelt opens the car and grabs the game walking off before anyone could stop him.

Buffy grabs Dawn and helps her out while hugging her "Don't do that again you scared me half to death."

"Where's the game?"

Everyone looks at Dawn who has tears running down her face "He took it."

Melinda knelt in front of Dawn "It is not your fault." Standing she looks at the others "We have a board to get."

Angel picks up Dawn then they all begin running in the direction Van Pelt went.

Hearing shouting coming from a shop nearby Melinda stops to see the game on a table in the shop, running in she goes to grab it just to have a gun pointed at her "Well if it isn't Melinda."

Imitating him she says "Well if it isn't Van Pelt." Using her other arm she hits him causing him to let go and fall backwards into a shelf which then falls down onto him. Paint cans covered him and knocked him out in time for Melinda to grab the game, run out of the shop then drag them all to the mall which now seemed abandoned.

Shoving the dice into Willow's hand once everyone sat down again Willow looked at Melinda who told her "Roll." She rolled the dice and read aloud "Big as fists these balls of ice. Through umbrellas they will slice."

Before anyone could figure this out hail as big as a fist came tearing through the glass roof, not only where they dangerous so was the glass that fell upon them. Grabbing the game they run into one of the shops where Dawn grabs the dice and rolls while everyone else is looking at the hail.

Only when she reads this aloud do they turn to her "Enormous and yellow these flowers grew. Their flesh-eating blossoms are hungry for you."

Cursing Melinda grabs the game looks out of the shop to see the hail had stopped but all over the mall the plants where growing by the hundreds Running out of the mall they ran back to the school where Melinda decided to say "Why did that one have to be next the Mall was a great place to stay."
