"I think it's over there Charlie" Maybeck sighed with relief at the sight of the dark cave.
"Oh thank goodness, this climbing isn't as easy as it used to be" Charlene giggled.
"Do you think the love birds were right? About the morque cave thingy being the Court of Miracles and the characters hiding?"
"It wouldn't surprise me one bit to be honest, but it does give me the creeps that the Court of Miracles exists."
"Of all the things that have happened to us, the Court of Miracles' existence is the one that scares you?" Maybeck couldn't help but chuckle.
"I mean, think about it" Charlene said, "Remember in Hunchbach? Its just kinda creepy to me. Its like the feeling I get whenever I see Ursula."
"Ohhh…" Maybeck finally understood, "It's ok, you have my hand to hold" he grinned.
"Always a pick up line…" Charlene sighed dramatically than.

"So where exactly are the OT's?" Philby wondered out loud. "Aren't they usually lingering around us?"
"I don't even know, they changed their normal routine" Willa said.
"Now they do," Philby sighed. "Do you have any ideas on how we're going to get out of here this time?"
"You do realize you're asking the pregnant one whose convinced that nothing good is gonna come out of this right?"
Philby grinned, knowing it was pointless. "You're right, how silly of me" he teased while Willa returned a smile.

"I just can't believe it" Finn said for what seemed like the hundredth time.
"Well you better believe it" Amanda said, hoping he'd catch on.
Finn turned around and looked at her in the slight darkness, "I'm sorry, I'm just really excited."
"I know you are" she smiled, but it disappeared.
"We're going to be fine Amanda, we'll get out of this alive just like we always do" he offered a warm smile.
"But this isn't like it always is Finn-this is different, I can feel it."
"What do you mean?" Finn asked of this new information.
"Don't you think it feels more dangerous this time?"
Finn contemplated this, "I guess I hadn't really thought about it."
"You know my feelings are never good" Amanda said.
Finn thought of many comebacks in that moment but decided to keep quiet. "I know" he sighed, "it did start out weird I will admit-I mean-it didn't even affect us" Finn pondered. "Or me" he whispered.
"I see you're catching on" Amanda said, "they ALWAYS go after you Finn."
"Hmm."
"That's never a good sound" Amanda grinned, knowing she'd gotten through to him.
"I wish this would just end-tonight-end for good," Finn said angrily.
"Whose to say we can't end it?"
Finn just stared at her, where did this sudden courage and certainty come from he wondered. Hormones, he thought. "You're right."
"Then let's do it."
Let me tell ya'll, I have not been able to write at all and am having great difficulty coming up with an ending for this story. I've been so close to just forgetting about it but I won't, I promise :)
If anyone has ANY ideas, PM me.
