Big Boogey Adventure

chapter 8

Meanwhile with the others...

Mandy was glaring at everyone.

"I'm gonna kill that witch the next time I see her!" Lil snapped.

"And I won't blame you," Mike said. "Lil, I'm sorry if I did anything with Zora."

"It's okay, Mike, I'm not mad at you, just her." Lil promised.

"Ooh, this air is bad for my hair..." Courtney frowned. "My hair's getting all frizzy."

"You think this is bad?" Angelica replied. "My hair is sweating like crazy and the frizziness is worse on me!"

"Don't break a nail, ladies." Otto deadpanned.

"At least Lu's not here, we'd probably never make it this far." Mike mumbled.

"I hope nothing bad will happen to us like it did to Mike and Lil," Courtney said as she lay down on Phil's lap. "I don't want to lose you."

"It won't, Court, it won't." Phil promised.

Arnold then comforted Reggie while Chuckie hugged a picture of Rhonda.

Otto rolled his eyes. "Couples, yuck!"

"I miss Spinelli," Twister said. "She always keeps me safe no matter what."

"Seriously?" Otto scoffed. "What does that girl see in you."

"She says I make her laugh." Twister shrugged.

"You're forgetting that Spinelli is the toughest girl in Disneyville." Otto reminded.

"Isn't she amazing?" Twister smiled.

They soon came up to a dock.

"My stomach feels like it's on fire..." Cindy groaned.

"Serves you right for eating three pieces of that cake!" Penn glared.

"Where are we?" Kimi asked as she looked around.

"Da Island Peril: Da Resting Place of Horror's Hand." Grim informed.

They then began to climb up the stairs as it was a long way up. Cindy panted and wheezed, she then gulped every time she looked down as they kept getting higher and higher.

"Pangborn would have a field day on these stairs." Tommy muttered.

Sam took out his inhaler and used it.

"I don't think I can make it anymore." Courtney groaned as she fell to her knees.

"Me neither..." Cindy panted. "Maybe I should take it easy on the Trail Mix."

"Next time I go on an adventure, remind me not to wear high heels." Angelica told the others.

"Need some help, Court?" Phil offered.

"Oh, you don't have to," Courtney blushed, but Phil didn't hear any of it as he decided to carry her like a bride which made her blush even more. "Oh, my..."

"We're almost t'ere." Grim promised the others.

"I'm going to destroy her no matter what." Lil grumbled about Zora.

"I know you will, Rambo," Mike told her. "Just take it easy for now."

Lil quietly growled as Mike managed to calm her down.

"Are we almost there?" Chuckie asked. "I'm getting tired."

"Man, and I thought ancient temples had a lot of steps..." Penn panted. "It's like the Ace Ventura movie with the slinky steps."
