"Will yous two stop it." hissed dgreqeen as she and Pandora walked out of the shadows. "Awwwww dgre, we were just haveing fun." pouted Trill. "This is not suposed to be fun." said Pan. "It's not??? Geez, what am I doing here then?" said Kali.

"So how do we get in, oh fearless leader??? brake a window, dig a tunnel, blow the side of the building away?" said Trill.

"No, we pick the lock and walk in." said Dgre. "Geez, your no fun, no imagination." grumped Kali. Dgre quickly picked the lock and opened the door. Pan, Trill and Kali floowed her in and closed the door behind them.

"I know there's a switch here somewhere." "OUCH, my foot." "Sorry." "HEY, that's my nose your trying to flip!!!" said Kali. "OOPS." said Dgre.

**GROWL**

"Geez, Trill, did ya miss dinner?" said Kali. "Uhhhh.... that wasn't my stomache." said Trill. "I got it." said Pan as she fliped the light switch.

The screams frooze in their throuts. The dog stood a few feet away, it's tree heads turned towards them. Six eyes stared at them, three noses twitching. It growled, loudly. It seemed unsure which one of them to bite first.

Dgre grabbed the handle, shoving the door open. The four of them came pouring out of the greenhouse, slaming the door behind them. Something slamed agenst the door, howling. They ran for their lives, afread the beast might brake the door down. Jade, who had been sleeping near her doghouse opened one eye as the four of them ran past her, screaming at the top of their lungs. They tore up the steps and into the castle, slaming the door behind them. Jade yawned, as if the sight of four APEC ladies, two of which were dressed in silly supperhero costums, running for their lives wasn't strange. Jade rolled over and went back to sleep.

While both teams one and two had failed, the ladies were not dicouraged. They were, in fact, more determined then ever to find out what Heather was doing in the greenhouse. She spent most of the day in there, coming out only to grab something to eat from the kitchen and sleep.

team three - R.A.S.S

Rave, Angelmay, Strytlr, and Sycorax tryed the next night. They disided to bypass the three headed dog, who growled at them from inside the greenhouse, and dig their way in to the storeroom. It took much of the night, but they finally made it. Angelmay broke threw and pushed her head out of the hole... And staired at the bared teeth of one of the dogs heads. They had miscalulated the tunnal. Instead of the storeroom they had tunneled into the main room. Angelmay ducked quickly back into the hole. She felt a rush of air as the dog snaped at her retreating head. Outside they could hear the beast growling into the hole.

team four - TROPICAL HEAT

HawaiiKai, Maritas, and Elfwina tryed the following night. They dunped a jumbo bag of dog goddies threw the hole team one had left in the glass. Once they heard the dog munching loudly of the goodies they headed to the back door. It was only a few feet from their to the storeroom. The poped the lock and opened the door.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH" they screamed, clutcheing their ears. "HIT ME BABY, ONE MORE TIME" It blared out the door, loud enought to wake the dead (or undead) Their ears rang for a week.

"WHAT is she hiding in there?" growled ES. "What ever it is, it better be worth all this." grumbled Twilight.

team five - LADIES OF THE NIGHT 

Twilight, VisionAri and lunaC stood outside the greehouse. It was their turn tonight. They climbed (or in VA's case flew) to the roof of the greenhouse. They pryed open the skylight. There were lots of pipes running along the celing and they desided to make their way along those to the storeroom. VisionAri (as her normal tiny size) fluw down threw the opening. It was her job to destact the dog. She flited about the beast. It snarled and snaped it's three mouths at her as she buzzed past it again.

Twilight and lunaC climbed threw the skylight, grabing the pipes and made their way, hand over hand, towards the storeroom. With VA still teasing the beast, they droped to the floor. Twilight opened the door, there was a slight poping sound. Suddenly, Twilight and lunaC fall backwards as a horid, rancid odor poured out the door. It was like rotten eggs, dirty diapers and limberger cheese all rolled into one. Twilight and lunaC ran for the back door. They threw the door open, setting off it's defences. "OOPS..I DID IT AGAIN" blared as they ran away. VA shot out of the skylight coughing. They spent the next day trying to get the smell off themselves.

"What about Kai 13?" asked dgre.

"No good." grumped ES, "I had MicroMary talk to him yesterday. He swares Heather didn't tell him what she was doing."

"So what do we do now?" said Vig.

team six and seven - TAG TEAM

Evening Star, Vigdis, ScapeGirl, necro, dishroom_princess, and doffy stood outside the greenhouse. It was up to necro, DP and doffy to keep the dog ocupied. They brought three jumbo bags of dog goodies. After tossing several in the hole in the glass (which haddn't been fixed yet) they were relived to hear the beast cruching away on them.

ES, Vig and ScapeGirl stood on the other end of the greenhouse. They put on their ear plugs and nose clips. Carefully, ES opened the back door. Silence. No music. They moved inside slowly towards the storeroom. Again, ES carefully opened the door. They detected no foul odors coming from the room and stepped inside. ES pointed to a locked cabinet at the back of the room. Vig and Scape nodded. They made their ways towords it, keeping their eyes open for more traps. The stopped in front of it. ES reached out... Suddenly the floor dropped out from under them. They screamed as they plumited down a dark tunnel. The wind whiped past them, drowning out their screams. Suddenly they were launched out the tube and landed on a pile of dirty clothing. They were in the laundry room, far below the APEC castle. Vig looked over at ES, who was sitting on a pile of used drool towels, "Like I said, so what do we do now?"
