The Poisonflower Problem

*They look round and see the poison flowers everywhere*

Van and Sal: Uh oh.

*They both start to swell up*

Van: it was...a trap

*Sal groans as they both balloon up*

Sal: We're...ballooning!

Van: it's not stopping

*Sal and Van sniff the air*

Sal: On the plus side...I can still smell cookies!

Van: but where are they?

*They waddle toward a plate of cookies on a plinth*

Sal and Van: Coo...kies...

*the 2 tear in*

*Sal grins*

Sal: SO...GOOD!

*They hear a chuckle*

???: That's it my dears...dig in.

???2: Seriously? What is it with you and expanding people?

???3: Hey whatever works.

????: besides you name something worse than either being trapped in your own body or exploding like a balloon

*Sal and Van look round*

Sal: Who's there?

???: Oh crap must have hit the mike by accident.

???2: We created this with a dream stone, how can we have technical difficulties?

???3: Shut up Max...oh crap shouldn't have said your name.

????: forget what you heard and eat

*Sal and Van gobble the cookies*

MEANWHILE...

*Vibes and Lara are still wobbling toward the castle*

Vibes: So there was Hera, the woman convinced she's a God, Jenny the scientist who wanted to
supply your gadgets and Max Expando, who wanted to make you fat?

Lara: Why did you need reminding of what I just told you?

Vibes: Because it sounds mental.

Lara: Says the caramel inflated psychic fox.

Vibes: Touche.

Vibes: and im giessing none of those were official adversaries.

Lara: you ever heed the foirth wall?

Vibes: i see it more as a guide line

*They look up and see they are near the bouncy castle*

Vibes: Looks like we're here.

*the 2 walk in

*Giant inflated boulders thump toward them*

Vibes and Lara: WHOA!

*The boulders bounce off their bellies*

Vibes: O...kay.

Lara: That was...anti-climactic.

Vibes: i doubt that was the end

*They cautiously move along the wall. Lara keeps tapping the wall as she does*

Vibes: What are you doing?

Lara: Checking for hidden entrances, trap switches and all that.

Vibes: watch out for flowers

*Lara scowls*

Lara: Why did you have to put that in my head?

Vibes....cause your's isnt a mental physical relationship

*As Lara taps the wall arrows whizz past their heads*

Lara: As I thought.

Vibes: yipe

*Lara and Vibes carefully walk along the edge.*
