"Who will come with us to find Evangeline and Iris?" inquired Jahnavi, who was very impatient.

"Nobody," said Merrick simply.

"Jonas and Shinkai, you both should come. It's gonna be very adventurous," persuaded Jahnavi.

"Mhm ok, but what will you give us?" asked Jonas.

"Hmm...I can steal candy from Evangeline," said Jahnavi thoughtfully.

"Alright...accepted," Jonas said, but with an unbelieving look.

"Let's help them this time," Shinkai suggested to Jonas.

"So where should we start?" asked Jahnavi.

"No, she said to find the others first," replied Merrick.

"NO, they're not in danger. But Evangeline and Iris are and we need to help them," commanded Allison.

"I am not going through that wall," answered Jonas, eyeing the wall suspiciously.

"I have an idea. How about Allison and I go halfway through the wall and we try to search for them," proposed Jahnavi.

"Yeah, but you'll get stuck there like them idiot," said Merrick.

"No, idiot, half of our body will be on the outside and you guys will be holding us back so we don't go inside the wall," scorned Allison.
"Okay, how the heck does that work?" questioned Jonas.

"OMG, just follow our lead," ordered Jahnavi.

"What do we do?" inquired Shinkai.
"FOR THE LAST TIME, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO HOLD US BACK," Allison shouted, enraged at the boys' ignorance.

"Ewww, I'm not holding your hand," replied Jonas and Merrick.

"Ughhh, I do NOT want to do it either," scoffed Allison
"Let's do the Mrs. Mayer method and put a book between us," suggested Jahnavi.

"Alright," sighed Shinkai.

"IrisYyYYYY? Where are youuuu?" Evangeline called.

"Over here," Iris responded, choking. Unfortunately, Evangeline could not hear her through her choking.

"Wha—IRIS! I can't hear you," said Evangeline, lighting another match and walking around.

"Owwww," moaned Iris.

"Wait, I hear voices," replied Evangeline.

"Evangeline? Iris?" called Jahnavi.

"We're here, we're here!" Iris cried out weakly.

"I HEARD SOMEONE," declared Jahnavi.

"Same, I think it's them!" agreed Allison.

"Iris, light a match," suggested Allison.

"Wait, we could form like a chain so Jonas holds Shinkai's hands, Shinkai holds your hand while you hold mine," Jahnavi suggested.

"EWWWW W.T.F JAHNAVI!!! I would never do that," cried Allison.

"Um, okay. Change plans. I guess we'll just let them follow us," decided Jahnavi, who was lighting up matches.

"No comment," said the boys together.

"Ok, we will scream for 30 seconds and you guys come towards our voice," said Allison.

"3, 2, 1—" said Allison.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" screamed Allison and Jahnavi together.

Evangeline and Iris slowly found their way towards the sound until they crashed into Jahnavi.

"Aghhh, that hurt," complained Iris, who was now wearing a bandage wrapped around her head.

"Oops sorry, at least we found you," said Jahnavi, as they walked across the wall together.

"Where are the boys now?" asked Allison, sighing.

"BOOOOOO!" yelled the boys from the darkness, trying to scare the girls.

"E—?" shrieked Evangeline.

"S is better (:" Iris and Jahnavi said in unison.

"HAHA, did you see the look on her face?" snickered Merrick, who was trying to piss Jahnavi out the most.

"Bro, when will you learn to stop," responded Jahnavi, who was beyond annoyed.

"No, let's go," said Allison simply, while pulling Evangeline to the left side of the tunnel.
