| Chapter 17 continued "Anyway, let's get to climbing..."� Roses pointed in the direction of� a staircase labeled 'to top of tower'. "Hey, when did that get here?"� Jaina noticed. "It's a fiction story--just play along."� Crayak whispered. "Oh, okay."� Jaina smiled. And so the group went to climbing the stairs.� Which gradually grew steeper.� Until they were really, really, steep.� "Hey these stairs are really really steep."� Rosey called out. No body answered.� "HEY!� These stairs are REALLY steep." Still, no one answered.� "Can you guys hear me?� HELLO?" "Rosey, shut up!"� various voices yelled. "Fine.� I wish Bunny was here."� Tears began to fill Rosey's eyes. But suddenly, out of nowhere, a blue figure appeared before him...and it whispered to him.� "Use the force, Roseidous, the force." "What?� The quarts?� But I don't want a quart." "The Force!" "The farts?� That's just disgusting." "You Idiot!"� the blueish figure, shaped like a bunny, pulled out a notebook and wrote "FORCE" in big letters and shoved it in Rosey's face. "Oh, the force"� Rosey thought for a minute "What the heck is that supposed to mean?" "Just climb the darn tower."� And the blue figure faded away. "Okay.� I love you bunny." "Love?� My butt."� The bunny laughed as he completely disappeared. "Hey, you know, it's not right that you just can't understand my feelings for you!" "Rosey, who are you talking to?� Ty asked. "Bunny." "Bunny's dead, you numbskull." "I know---it was his ghost." Ty sighed and continued climbing. Finally they reached the top.� "Hey, we made it!"� Jaina cried. "Yep...now what?"� Ty wondered, looking to Crayak and Roses. "Um...we...uh..."� Crayak stuttered. "Let me talk, flying nun boy."� Roses pushed Crayak behind her.� "We use Holli's laptop and send a message to TAS so he can rescue us and then all will be good." "Oh."� the group replied. Holli pulled the laptop from her purse, which just recently appeared, and turned it on.� Meanwhile, Roses tied strands of Rosey's hair into braids which Ty and Crayak connected to the wires of the tower as Jaina and Pen/cil held them in place.� It was a group effort. Soon the laptop was up and running.� The group went to the MZ MSG board and posted a message entitled:� "TAS!� HELP US!� We are in Clyattville.� Rescue quickly!� NT" "So now what do we do?"� Holli asked. "We wait."� Roses sighed. And so they did wait...and wait...and wait.... << Chapter 16 ������������������������������������������������ Back to Home �������������������������� Chapter 18 >> |
