Boom! Banana Slamma

(We cut to Shimmer in a temple)

Shimmer: huh? Where am I?

(Shimmer can hear Inka Dinka Doo's voice boom all over)

Inka Dinka Doo: You are in my temple back in Kongo Bongo Island.

(Shimmer notices three blank heads that resemble Inka Dinka Doo)

Shimmer: what are all those heads?

Inka Dinka Doo: these are my faces of knowledge, this is where you will face the trial of the brain.

Shimmer: okay... is there any rules?

Inka Dinka Doo: you must answer three questions correctly. Pass all three, and you will move on to the next trial.

Shimmer: okay. Sounds easy enough.

Inka Dinka Doo: HOWEVER! If you try to leave the temple, my traps will trigger, and you will never leave my temple or the crystal coconut, if you get a question wrong, you are deemed unworthy of life, and will be transported back to the coconut.

(Shimmer looks terrified)

Shimmer: *gulp* eep

Inka Dinka Doo: do you accept my trial?

(Shimmer's feet is shaking, but she knew this was the only way to get back with Shine and Leah)

Shimmer: y-yes! I accept!

Inka Dinka Doo: Then let the trial commence!

(A head turned to a stern look as it states the first question)

Head 1: Question one: how many pieces of string would you need for the strings to reach the moon?

(Shimmer's heart sank)

Shimmer (internal): W-what kind of question is that? It's way too vague to give a proper answer... it could be anything! Okay... stay calm Shimmer. Just imagine, if Leah were to wish the same thing... what would you do?

Shimmer... uh.... Uhmm... guh..... one?

(dead silence fills the temple as Shimmer's face is red as a tomato)

(The head slowly spins to turn into a happy expression)

Head 1: correct.

Shimmer: *Phew*

(Shimmer walks to the second head)

Head 2: Question two: What kind of running is walking?

Shimmer: *Internal* wha- what kind of question is that!? What kind of running is walking? Come on Shimmer, try to remember something like that!

*Flashback*

(Leah is walking next to a road behind her parents)

(Shimmer and Shine are shrunk down to pocket sized)

Leah: Why are we walking to work?

Leah's dad: our car ran out of gas, and we can't be late on bring your daughter to work day.

Leah: can't we just call a tow truck?

Leah's mom: because last time they took too long, it's best if we just walk!

Leah: *sigh* okay mom.

(Leah looks at her bottle)

Shine: hehe. I guess that's running, that's also walking.

Leah: that's not funny Shine... geez, I wish I had some water.

(Flashback ends)

Shimmer: guess that's my best bet. Uhh... running out of gas?
