Aru Shah - Jumanji: The Next Level AU

Chapter 7

Boo and Sheela wandered around the town for a long time. The tile had stopped glowing a few minutes ago, and all of Boo's powers from his Jumanji character had vanished. Few things remained though, like one abnormal azure(blue) eye.

"Boo, how much longer until we get there?" Sheela whined, slouching as she trudged her way through the streets.

Boo squinted, tearing his gaze from the road in front of him.

"I'm not sure... but Sheela... You know how my tile gave me some powers from Lex?" Boo said, lugging the tile behind him.

"Yeah, why?"

"Well... What if you go half blind? Since your character was blind and all..." Boo said, nervously fiddling with his tile.

Sheela stopped in her tracks, "I don't think that would be a problem. That was one of my unlisted weaknesses, and I think we receive one strength instead of a weakness. At least, I hope so. But why are you so nervous all of a sudden? You're not being very... Boo-like."

Boo sighed, "Ever since the tile went out, I've been feeling a little out of it. It doesn't help that I went head first into 5 traffic light poles and tripped on pavement, and fell near a tree. Those roots are NOT comfy."

Sheela snickered, "It was actually 7 poles."

"I don't have any brain damage do I? Or a concussion?" Boo asked, staring at Sheela questionably.

Sheela inspected his pupils and made him stand under a street light to get light in his eyes, "I don't think you have a concussion, Boo. But I really wouldn't be surprised if you had brain damage. You have seriously gotta get some glasses."

"About that..."

"Oh my god, Boo what did you do?"

"I- Well... Nothing really... I just realized I had contacts in my pocket."

Sheela stared at him, an incredulous look on her face, "Are you telling me that this whole freaking time YOU HAD YOUR CONTACTS??"

"Eh, Wait lemme put 'em on. Lucky for me they are pre-cleaned."

"How do you even put them on?" Sheela asked, looking dubiously at the small circles about the size of Boo's iris'.

Boo touched one of them with his finger, and opened his right eye wide. He quickly put it in, blinking a few times to adjust the position until it was just right. He did the same for the other one.

(Sowwy I don't really know how to put in contacts. I don't have em. I just wrote what I think I remember seeing my cousin doing. It's probably not accurate xD- PLB)

"That looked really easy actually... But when did you get them? You could have avoided the basketball accident in school if you had them instead of your glasses, you know."

"I didn't have them at the time. I got these 3 days ago. And it wasn't an accident. It was just- What. is. That?" Boo retorted, suddenly pointing at something behind Sheela.

Sheela turned around just to find an alleyway that glowed with a forest green hue of light.

"I think we may have just found our second tile, Boo!" Sheela said, excitedly, racing toward it, Boo following suit.

Boo beelined into the passage after Sheela, suddenly feeling the need to shudder. The walls had strange graffiti paintings that resembled... Jumanji??

Of course. The Seer's alley just had to be slightly creepy with those jaguars staring at me like they're going to eat me for lunch. Although, I guess I shouldn't complain because I am getting an odd craving of bird seeds and bread crumbs... Wait what? Anyway... That jaguar is odd...
