5|It all starts here

"𝑰𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆"

Everyone steps over Chunk entering the restaurant. "Thanks Chunk." Data and Mikey say at the same time. Everyone starts arguing and Mikey cuts them all off. "Shut up! We've got to get to the lowest point of the floor." Mikey states. "Lowest point nothing Mikey! Let's go now!" Brand speaks up scaring everyone. "No Brando!" Mikey snaps back firmly. Screaming is suddenly heard as Andy and Stef run in. "Turn on the lights." Mikey commands looking around for the light switch. "It was disgusting you should've seen it." Stef says her scare wearing off. "It jumped out from the bushes and almost killed us. I swear to god." Andy says clinging to Brand. "Come on Brand please." Mikey begs looking at his brother. "What if we find something? A couple more minutes isn't going to hurt." Tara says looking at Brand, arms crossed.

"Come on Mikey, we're going right now!" Brand demands like a parent scolding their child. "Hey Brand..." Andy says grabbing his hand. "Give him a few minutes. As long as you stay here, with me." She adds biting her lip at the end. Tara turns to Mouth and makes a gagging noise making him laugh quietly. "Listen to her; she knows what she's talking about!" Mikey exclaims. "Yeah she does!" Mouth agrees. All the goonies head towards the basement stairs. As they're walking down them a grunt is heard scaring everyone. "Chunk, I hope that was your stomach." Stef states wearily. "No that's the IT." Mikey says in wonder. "Sounds like kong." Chunk states. "Part of it's human. Wanna see it?" Mikey questions his friends, another groan sounds out throughout the area. "Don't worry, It's chained to the wall." Mikey adds on seeing his friend's faces in the dimly lit staircase.

The group carry on making their way down the stairs, chains rattling filled everyone's ears. "I don't wanna go, Mikey. I don't wanna go. I just.." Mouth trails off scared. "Why not? It's chained to the wall." Mikey says again. "I know it's chained to the wall, right?" Mouth questions. "Come on... you wanted to go, didn't ya?" Mikey says. "Yeah, I wanted to go. I wanted to go..." Mouth agrees. "So let's go!" Tara says impatiently moving to stand beside Mikey at the front. They all begin to go forward Mikey opens the door and the beast shouts and chains rattle. Scaring everyone, they all move back frightened creating a domino effect once again Tara lands on Mikey. Looks like that say the universe wanted her to be close to him. "Are you okay?" Tara questions as she landed right on top of him. "Yeah, are you okay?" Mikey responds. "Yeah." Tara whispers, they stare at each other small smiles on both their faces. "Shame, Shame!" Chunk sings out making Tara jump. She looks over to see Brand and Andy about to kiss. "We know your name!" Data joins in. "Come on, Brand, slip her the tongue!" Mouth adds, Stef starts to gross out whilst the goonies scramble up off the floor. "Get me up guys!" Chunk demands from the floor. The group pull him to his feet.

"Can't you smell it, guys? One-eyed Willy really is down here." Mikey says happy. "That's great. You know, you guys? I'm gonna build one like this." Data tells no one in particular. "Alright, we're walking right above here." Mikey says pulling the map out. "back, and the stairs go up, and right about here must have been when we said we got to get to the lowest spot." Mikey talks to himself, he walks over to a part of the room which has a giant rod in and picks it up. "What are you doing talking to yourself again Mikey? OW!" Mouth shouts the end of his sentence as Mikey hits him with the rod accidentally, Mikey mumbles an apology. "What the hell are you doing?" Mouth questions as Mikey swings at the solid floor. "Mikey, you're gonna lose your filling." Mouth states. "Mikey be careful." Tara scolds. "Mikey, what are you doing? You little." Brand says as he snatches the rod from Mikey. "Brand!" Mikey complains.

Tara moves away from the brothers arguing and joins Andy and Stef, who are watching the boys arguing, Well only Stef is watching Andy is daydreaming. "Brand is being so sweet to me." She sighs as Tara once again gags and Stef is annoyed. "Oh, come on. Come on! Where are you? You're in the clouds and we are in a basement!" She exclaims snapping Andy out of the daydream. Meanwhile, Brand was inspecting the fire place. "I told you! Ha ha! Told you. I told you." Mikey shouts out they break the boards. Tara joins Data at a machine he managed to get working. "Fifty dollar bills? Fifty dollar bills? Fifty dollar bills. Fifty dollar bills!" Tara and Data shout at the same time! "Guys there's hundreds of fifty dollar bill! We have the money to save the goodocks!" Data screams ecstatic, everyone else gathers around excited until. "QUIET!" Brand shouts. "They're fake. They're bogus." Brand points out. "You get twenty-five years for counterfeiting." Andy exclaims.

"You guys, I recognise these people." Stef says holding up a newspaper. "Look at it. It's the frratellis." Brand adds. "Oh my god." Tara whispers. "That's the guy from upstairs." Data points out. "And the guy who tried to sing." Mikey adds. "See, you guys, you never listen to me. I said that there was going to be trouble, but you didn't listen to me. You guys are crazy. You know, you guys are self-destructive. There's a funny farm and it has your names written all over it, but i'm gettin outta here. tha... I smell Ice cream." Chunk stops ranting and rushes towards the freezer. "They got Swensons! Oh look, they got pralines and cream, and they got mississippi mud and they got chocolate eruption and they got apple oh, and they got grape..." The group are staring at something behind him, but he doesn't notice. "They got Grape, and super duper chocolate eruption and. Wha? Wha? AHHHHHH!" Chunk cries out at the end noticing what everyone else is staring at.

The fear is cut off by the sound of the door upstairs open. "It's the door." Data whispers. "Pizza?" a shush was heard. "Pepperoni?" Another shush ran out in the room. The group hurriedly try to put the body back into the freezer. Everyone starts to leave except for Tara and Mikey they've come to a silent agreement. "Mikey, Tara come on." Brand whispers. "The fireplace, Brand. It's the only way out. You guys'll never get out that way." Tara responds, nothing but sincerity held in her voice. "What?" Brand questions. "It all starts here." Mikey states, everyone heads towards the fireplace and goes down. Once everyone is down Tara looks around. "Where's Chunk?" She questions noticing he's not with them. "Chunk's up there." Mikey tells her, Mikey and Brand go to check on Chunk after the Fratellis left. "Where's Chunk?" Mouth asks once they came back. "He went to go get the police." Brand states. "The Fratellis are there. We gotta go, come on guys." Mikey says and walks infront everyone else following.
