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....
