Jay huffed as he collapsed on his bed, Kai following suit, and then Cole.

Behind them, Mia peered in, looking sheepish.

" Sorry I left you in there for six hours." She said. " Are you tired?"

Jay managed to glare at his sister. " You think?" He groaned.

Mia smiled sheepish. " Well, I hope you don't mind if I push this button."

Before they could ask, she pushed it, and the bed opened, revealing a slide. They dropped onto it and slid down.

" MIA?!" Jay yelled. " WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON YOU..."

Jay's voice echoed as he and the others were launched down the hidden slide, the smooth surface spiraling them through the walls of the house.

“Mia!” Kai shouted, flailing his arms as he tried to slow his descent. “Why can’t you ever just let us rest?”

Cole, who was ahead of them, could only manage a tired groan as the slide twisted sharply, sending them into another rapid spiral. “I’m too tired for this!”

Mia’s laughter echoed down the chute, playful and unapologetic. “Consider it a cool down from the exercise!” she called after them, her voice full of mischief.

The slide finally spit them out into a massive ball pit, which did little to cushion their fall as they landed with a series of ungraceful thuds.

Jay surfaced from the sea of plastic balls, sputtering. “I’m so done with this…”

Kai emerged next, his hair a mess, trying to shake off the balls that clung to him. “Mia, you’re impossible!”

Cole was the last to appear, still too drained to be properly annoyed. He flopped back into the pit, covering his face with his hands. “Let’s just stay here and never move again…”

But even as they tried to catch their breath, the sound of footsteps reached their ears. Mia’s face appeared at the edge of the pit, looking down at them with a grin that was both apologetic and mischievous.

“Sorry, guys!” she said, genuinely sounding a bit guilty this time. “I didn’t mean for it to be so long… or so intense.”

Jay narrowed his eyes at her, his exhaustion momentarily forgotten as he thought about getting even. “Oh, you’re going to pay for this, Mia. Just wait until we—”

Before he could finish, Mia pulled out another remote from her pocket, eyes twinkling with mischief. “You might want to save your energy for this next part…”

“Next part?” Kai asked, his voice tinged with dread.

With a playful wink, Mia pressed a button on the remote, and the bottom of the ball pit began to rumble ominously.

The boys barely had time to brace themselves before they were sucked down once more, the pit transforming into yet another slide that spiraled even deeper into the house.

“MIAAAA!” they all screamed in unison as they were sent on yet another unexpected ride.

As they disappeared down the slide, Mia watched with a fond smile, shaking her head. “They’ll thank me one day,” she said to herself, before turning to follow after them, ready for whatever chaos came next.

The pit was dark and foreboding, the walls lined with sharp, gleaming nails that seemed to shift and shimmer menacingly. Jay, Kai, and Cole landed with a thud, their earlier exhilaration giving way to sheer panic as they took in their new predicament.

Cole’s eyes darted around the pit, eventually landing on a large, menacing hammer hanging ominously from the ceiling. “Uh, guys? I think we’ve got a problem,” he said, his voice trembling.
