The group gasped, in complete shock of what they had just witnessed. Fridge turned towards Spencer, looking up and down Dr. Bravestone's body.

"You better get in there and save her!"

Spencer pointed at the creek, "I'm not getting in there!" He grabbed Fridge's arm, "You get in there!"

Fridge pulled his character's arm back, "I'm not going in there. I have a backpack, you don't get in bodies of water with a backpack. Everybody knows that."

A loud clink echoed throughout the jingle. Tillie looked up, and noticed something appearing from the sky. It rapidly got closer and closer.

"There!"

Before anyone could respond to her, a body landed on its back on the ground. It slowly sat up letting out a high pitched, "Ow."

Tillie blinked, "What just happened?" She walked over to Professor Shelly Oberon, pushing long stands of grass out of her way. The others quickly followed behind.

Martha let out a loud yell, "Bethany!"

Tillie cut her off, "Are you okay cuz?"

Bethany stared straight ahead in a daze, "That was so intense. I like, can't even with this place."

"What happened to you after it ate you? Cause one minute you were there, and the next minute you were gone. It just swallowed your whole body in one gulp."

Bethany just continued to stare off into the distance, not answering her question.

"And then I just fell like 1000 feet out of the sky."

Martha spoke up, "Um guys?"

A loud growl sounded off in the greenery. Bethany, in Professor Shelly Oberon's body, quickly turned around looking.

Spencer and Tillie both looked at each other, having the same idea. They booked it, running in hopefully the opposite direction of wherever that growl was coming from.

Fridge yelled, "Bethany get up, Bethany get up!"

Bethany quickly tried to get to her feet. All three squealed, as they followed after Spencer and Tillie. Tillie leading the path, got cut off by a hippopotamus. She didn't waste any time turning and heading in another direction. The others, realizing what happened, followed in the same direction she went.

Tillie yelled in surprised as a vehicle pulled up in front of her, honking its horn. A man yelled out the open window on the driver's side, "Botanist Rhodes Knight!"

The others stood behind her.

"Dr. Bravestone!"

Tillie gave a brief look in Spencer's direction.

The man continued, "Welcome to Jumanji!"

He opened the doors to the vehicle, "Don't just stand there, get in! In you all go!"

Spencer yelled at everyone, "Go!"

Tillie not needing to be told twice, jumped into the backseat. Fridge quickly joined her, with Martha and Bethany squeezing in together on her other side. Spencer hopped into the passenger seat.

Once the doors were closed, the man began driving down the bumpy path.

The man looked at Spencer while driving, "Dr. Bravestone, famed archeologist and international explorer. You're known across the seven continents for your courageous exploits."

Spencer mumbled not knowing what else to say, "Is there a seatbelt?"

The man gave him a look, "I can't tell you how big of an honor it is to finally meet you." He continued, "And I'm not even embarrassed to say you're more dashing in person."
