Chapter 10- Double D: Librarian by Day, Adventure Hero by Night!
Part 2
Sara and Double D. foot steps echoed off the walls of the long dark tunnel. None of them had spoken since Double D's hat had been removed. Double D because he was too busy concentrating on the tunnel before him, Sara because she was in a state of utter shock.
Who could blame her? (I'm still in a state of shock and I wrote this!)
"Double D?" Sara finally said. Double D stopped and looked back at her. "What's up with….that…..thing?" she asked pointing to the Indiana Jones hat on his head. Double D. rested a hand on the brim of the hat. "I'll only tell you if you promise not to say a word about it." Double D. said. Sara folded her arms. "And if I don't?" Sara asked. Double D grinned evilly. "I could always leave you to the bats." He said. Sara's eyes bugged out an d she said quickly, "I'll be good!."
Double D. nodded. "Thought so." He said. He took a deep breath and began his tale, "Well when I was a little boy my father tended to travel a lot and he'd often take me and my mom with him. The trips were often dangerous but I still enjoyed going along. But eventually, as my dad grew older he could no longer keep up with all of the adventures and dangers so he retired, and his hat now belongs to me."
Sara tapped her foot impatiently. "So what does that have to do with anything?" she asked. "The hat is what gave him the ability to do all the things he did, something about nuclear power or something along those lines, but when he gave it to me then eventually I was able to do the things he did. But so enemies wouldn't find us I have to keep it secret."
"So who is your father?" Sara asked. "My father's name was…." He hesitated for a moment then said in a voice just above a whisper, "Dr. Henry Walton Jones." Sara gasped. "You mean-" "Yes, my father was Indiana Jones." Sara stared at him for a few moments, then collapsed on the ground gasping with laughter. But when she looked up, Double D. was gone and the tunnel was empty and dark. "Double D?" Sara said. She sat up looking around.
"Double D!"
With the other Cul-de-sac Kids
The elevator was slowly rising higher and higher up the shaft, so slowly everyone thought it would have been way faster to have taken the stairs. "Are we there yet?" Johnny moaned for the umpteenth time. "No" Plank and Marilyn said in unison. Eddy was at wits end with impatience and was pacing back and forth in the elevator.
"I knew we should've just left sock head in there. But no one listens to the short guy!" he muttered. "Come on cheer up Eddy." Nazz said, "It could be worse." At this everyone turned to Nazz with shock and just plain scared to death expressions on their faces. "What?" Nazz asked.
"Nazz are you crazy?!" Eddy said, "You know what happens when people say that in Cartoons!" Nazz snickered. "Oh come on! That's just an urban legend." At this Rolf broke out from his silence of 3 chapters and said, "No Nazz-girl it is true. The curse of cartoons!"
To everyone's dismay he whipped out an accordion from no where and began to play and sing at the top of his voice. "OH MY PAPA WAS A NICE MAN, THE NICEST OF THEM ALL! BUT ONE DAY HE WAS ON A SHIP WHEN RAIN BEGAN TO FALL! HE SAID, 'IT COULD BE WORSE' AND THE WIND BEGAN TO BLOW, CARRING AWAY MY PAPA TO A DISTANT COUNTRY SO-"
"Rolf!" Marilyn said suddenly. Rolf stopped his murder of everyone's ear drums to look at her. "Please!" she pleaded looking rather distressed. Rolf put the accordion back in the black whole from wince it came and stopped screeching. The only one who really took notice to this was Kevin who mentally put the note in his head for later.
Just then a rumble shook the elevator and motion ceased. "What happened?" Eddy asked. "Looks like the elevator stopped." Nazz observed. Nazz could feel people glaring at her. "Alright alright so bad things do happen to Cartoons when they say, 'It could be Worse.'" She said. "Nazz!" Nazz put her hands over her mouth. And then the lights went out.
Back in the creepy tunnel….
"Great just great, this is what I get for trying to rescue him from ghosts." Muttered Sara angrily as she continued down the tunnel in search of Double D. She reached another open chamber with a pedestal in the center and a gold figure rested on it. Sara crept forward to get a closer look and saw it was….a chocolate bunny?
"Weird...but delicious!" thought Sara reaching towards the gold aluminum wrapped candy. Just then something caught her eye behind it. It was another one of those stone tablets with the ancient Mayan message on it. "If you come any further you will experience pure agony….what are they gonna do call weight watchers on me? I'm not that old!" Sara said snatching the chocolate bunny off the pedestal.
Just then a rumble shook the chamber and a deep voice (that seemed slightly familiar to her) resonated through the tunnel. "Infidel! How dare you touch the sacred gold statuette!" it boomed. "This is a chocolate bunny idiot!" Sara shouted. "Oh….well….how dare you still! Return the sacred statue immediately or suffer dire consequences!"
"Oh I'm shaking in my sandals" Sara muttered sarcastically. She unwrapped the rabbit and began bringing it to her mouth. "I'm gonna do it." "Don't you dare!" "I'm gonna do it…." "STOP!" But it was to late, Sara had stuffed the whole chocolate coated rodent in her mouth.
Suddenly the tunnel began rumbling. "FOOOOOOL!! NOW PREPARE TO SUFFER PURE AGONYYYYYY!" Then the rumbling stopped. "Is that it?" Just then, it began the music began blaring out of no where. "Bob the builder, can we fix it?? Bob the builder, yes we can!!" Sara screamed covering her ears. It was the second grade all over again!
She began darting down the tunnel while the music continued getting louder and louder. "Bob the Builder, Can we fix it?! Bob the builder, yes we can!!" Suddenly more rumbling came from behind her. She looked back and an even greater horror than what she had seen before filled her. Coming at her was a giant stone sculpture of Bob the Builders head!
"Now this is just too much!" she shouted. She came to another open chamber with a long deep trench that extended down into a dark oblivion (I very much like that word) Sara looked around frantically. There was no bridge, no other tunnel, no escape. "Where is double D. when you need him?"
Elevator….
Everyone was still sitting in the dark as Jimmy began singing. "On top of spaghetti…All cover in cheeeeese I lost my poor meat ball, when somebody sneeeeezed." Eddy was a verse shortof banging his head against the wall. Everyone else was equally as annoyed. "So painfully boring…."
"It rolled off of the table….and onto the floor…and then my poor meat ball rolled right out the door…" "This is dumb, I bet they were all eaten by ghosts by now." Lee moaned. Marie elbowed her. "Nu-uh! Ghosts don't eat people. They haunt them." "Eat" "Haunt" "Eat" "Haunt" "EAT" "HAUNT" And thus they began practically killing each other.
"It rolled into the garden….and under a bush…..and then my poor meatball….,was nothing but mush..." Jimmy sniffled. "Poor, poor meat ball…." He began sobbing as he mourned the lost of the dearly departed meatball he never actually knew. And Eddy was very short to blowing a fuse.
Tunnel….
The bob head was bearing down on her now. Sara squeezed her eyes shut, waiting to be pulverized. Just then she wasn't standing on the cliff. She was being carried as she swung through the air. She cracked an eye open and saw it was, who else, but double D. "See this is why you can't leave girls alone." He stated without much interest.
"Double D…." She whispered in surprise. "Yeah?" Sara started attempting to strangle him while Double D tried fighting him off best he could. "DON'T YOU EVER LEAVE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!" "Ah! Sara let go I can't steer a rope all that easily in the first place!" "Not until you promise!" "Now isn't the time-" "PROMISE!" "Sara that hurts!" In the mass struggle the two didn't see the wall of stone right in front of them until it was right in front of them…
Elevator again…
(I'm sure I'm annoying everyone with my hopping back and forth aren't I?)
Finally Eddy began smashing his head against the wall as hard as he could trying to tune out all of the noise surrounding him. After doing that for about five minuets he smashed it so hard that a rumble shook the elevator and the light came up again. The elevator began moving up again bringing cheers from the other cul-de-sac kids. "My hero." Nazz said jokingly. Eddy turned beat red and slank away to a far corner. (I don't know if slank is a word…) Jimmy shouted triumphantly, "We're coming Sara!"
Tunnel…..
Sara screamed as they careened into the wall. Surprisingly enough instead of their faces getting scrambled the wall gave in and suddenly the two of them were free falling down a long narrow passage way. "This. Is. The. WORSE VACATION EVER!!" Sara screamed.
Just before they hit the ground though another trap door opened and they fell through but instead of hitting stone they hit rubber, a rubber band that is. It was a giant sling shot. Before they could get out a "What the…" They were flying up a tunnel and right into the wall which flipped over and they weren't in the long creepy tunnel system anymore. They were back in the boy's hotel room.
The door opened and the other cul-de-sac kids walked in. "Hey are you guys all right?" Sara looked back to Double D. who was back in his normal black and white stripped hat with a book tucked under his arm. "Yes, I was just getting ready to come back out." He said joining his friends by the door. He glanced back at Sara who had a confused and bewildered look on her face.
"Well…are you coming Sara?" "But you…and the hat and…." Sara fell on her back on the bed, KO'd. "SARA NOOOOOOOOO!" Jimmy cried running to his friend's side. "Sara, speak to me, SPEAK TO ME!" "Jimmy….Is that you…" she mumble. "Yes, I'm here Sara." "I need a vacation…."
Once they were back outside again everyone finally realized that Ed and May weren't there. "Say, where are those two anyway?" Double D. asked. They walked over to the beach where on the sand there was set up a wooden crate with a table cloth, a lit candelabra, a spaghetti and meat ball dinner and sitting on either side Ed and May.
The two were currently slurping on a single noodle (Think Lady and the Tranmp) and they were moving closer and closer until suddenly. "ED!!" Ed stopped slurping and turned to them. He got a big goofy grin on his face. "Hiya guys!" Then he saw double D. "DOUBLE D!!" He enveloped his friend in an enormous bear hug (Which was more like a rhinoceros hug) "You're not turned into a creepy scary ghostie guy!"
"Um yes Ed…I'm alive… but I would very much appreciate it if you'd…" "Let go of Sock head he's turning blue." Ed dropped Double D. "Blue? I WANNA TURN BLUE NEXT EDDY! AH PLEASE EDDY I WANNA BE BLUE!" Ed galloped off in another direction.
"Ok….well anyway did anything happen while you two were in there?" Marlyn asked. "Nothing to speak of, but I will say that there is something suspicious about this island." Double D replied. They all looked back to the looming hotel wondering what they had gotten themselves into.
Just then something wet and slimy fell on Eddy's head. He looked up and saw Ed covered in a blue gunk. "I am blue man, Destroyer of evil!!" he announced. "Um, Ed? Where exactly did you get that stuff?" Double D asked. "leftovers from my sandwiches!" Ed stated proudly. Eddy erupted. "ED!!" And thus Eddy chased Ed around until it was time to return to the hotel room.
