Only one

[mrgoomb]

Wait Bev! I think I hear her!
I'll be right back.
*swims to surface
There she is.
Hey Dawn! ...don't hurt me... ...I'm on your side, Bev asked me to find you and bring you to her.
Here we go.
*Takes Dawn with him to his under-ground lair.
Here Dawn.
*gives her an energy bar.
I think you two should get some well deserved rest and we will head for the exit in a day or so.

 

[Bevlina]

Oh Praise God!!!! Have you got her mrgoomb? OH DAWN!!*hugs Dawn* I'm sorry! I upset our boat and you nearly drowned!! mr goomb has also been a victim of Sunset's devious traps Dawn...now....he's going to help us find a way out of here as he's been trapped here by Sunset too!
*both hug mrgoomb*
Oh mrgoomb...it's been simply horrific! *munch* I'm so glad you came along...now.....we'll have to devise a way to get out of these tunnels and caves withought any further adventures.
Are you alright now Dawn?
Struth! That energy bar went fast! You must have been STARVING!
Now...what's the plan.....tell me while I rest.

 

[dsdumpling]

Thank God you got me. I almost drowned! mrgoomb, you saved my life!

Thank you for the energy bar, it was so good. Bev, I thought I'd never see you again.

Ok mrgoomb...what are we going to do. I'm really getting sleepy, hey Bev...wake up!

 

[Bevlina]

Wake up! Wake up! *stares blinkey eyed* Did I hear you Dawn? I nearly went to sleep!
Oh I am so glad you are safe!!! I was really worried about you!!!
Mrgoomb is going to try to help us get out of here...but...there may be many pitfalls.....I'll just have a look around to see if Sunset isn't about...*peers around a stallegmite* No sign of him!!! Whooppee! I think we've lost him!

Now...how do we get out of here! OO all these dark, dingy tunnels....I wonder if we just edge ourselves along here sideways, so as not to fall into that deep...deep....deep water again....we might be able to find a way out of here....

EEEEEEEEEEK!!!! WHAT's THAT!!

 

[dsdumpling]

EEEEEEEEKKKK, LEECHES AGAIN! Knock 'em off Bev, they'll suck your blood.

*sneaking around the side of the walls of the tunnel* mrgoomb and Bev, these sides are slippery. Woops...whew, almost slipped into the water. Bev, I thought mrgoomb was coming too, he's not behind you. *peeks around Bev* Nope, not there. Should we call for him, I mean, he did save our lives.

 

[Bevlina]

I thought he was with us! *peers around* MRGOOMB? WHERE ARE YOU????
Oh Dawn...hewas busy I think...let's get back to him quickly!!! **edges sideways along tunnel* YIKES!!! THESE LEECHES!!! *knocks 3 off*
Here we are! Now Where's mrgoomb? We he was with us right here! *looks at Dawn*
He's gone!!!! OH NO!!
Is....there....now....only......us.....in this great tunnel? *gulp*
What are we going to do Dawn? Sunset could come back and.......DAWN!! LOOK!!!
THERE'S MORE BATS IN HERE!!! LOOK OUT!!!.............HELPPPPPPPPPPPP!! EEEEEK!!!

 

[mrgoomb]

I'm still here, I went to the vending machine to get more food, but don't worry, I'm here now.
And don't forget we are in my lair, and it's underwater, it's one huge airbuble down here. There are only two ways out of here, both through the lake. One way is up, the other is down.
And I discovered Sunset has a hard time swimming, so we have an advantage as long as we are in or near the water.
I just brought you two here to be safe while we all rest.
Also, please don't walk off when I'm not here.

 

[Bevlina]

So.....we are in a huge airbubble now? And....we can only get out through....*gulp* the lake?......with the big lobster's and whatever else is in there?....*gulp-gulp*
*stares wide eyed at mrgoomb* That Sunset Sam is really mean! And he may find us!
I am so happy we have food though because we've sure got lots of water!!!
OO...what's that over there? That light?
Dawn? Have you gone into a trance? You are staring at the light! Dawn? DAWN? DAWN!!! Wake up! *grabs a leech off Dawn and throws it away* Oh I know....she's still thinking about Dougy Fairbanks mrgoomb.
OK! We'll rest for awhile then...let's get outta here!!!!!

 

[dsdumpling]

mrgoomb, whatcha got to eat? I'm starving. *stares off into space* I sure do miss Doug. *sniff* Eeeeekkkkkk! Thanks for getting that leech off me Bev. Lobster? Did someone say lobster? I could eat a lobster!

*Sits down for a rest and drifts off to sleep dreaming about a lobster dinner*

 

[Bevlina]

Wake up Dawn!! I'll soon fix you up a lobster dinner! Hang on...I'll have to catch one...
mrgoomb...we need some kindling wood and a big pot of water. Have you got a nig BIG pot? Thankyou* takes pot from mr gomb fills with water and places the water on the fire to boil*....Hang on Dawn...I'll just fish around in the water and one is sure to come close enough to ....EEEEK!

[dsdumpling]

Hiiiiiiya *karate chops lobster and sends it flying in the pot*. Bev, are you alright? *looks at Bev's finger* It's bleeding a little and it looks bruised. mrgoomb, do you have a first aid kit down here? *takes first aid kit from mrgoomb* Thanks.

Bev, now hold still. I'm going to put peroxide on that cut, it might burn a little. *Bev jumps up and down and screams bloody murder* *Bev runs around shaking her finger* Wait, I need to put a bandage on it. *Bev calms down and Dawn puts a bandage on her finger* There, all better.

mrgoomb, I think we better take over the cooking detail and let Bev rest a bit. Do you have any butter for this lobster?

 

[Bevlina]

NEVER MIND THE FLAMIN' BUTTER!!! LOOK AT MY POOR FINGER!!!! *sucks finger* Thanks Dawn. erk....that bandage tastes a bit yukky! I haven't got a finger now! I've got a flamin' mumified stick!!! *stares at the heavily bandaged finger* Struth mate! That pointer is as thick as a man's wrist with that bandage on! Where did you learn first aid!! *shakes finger* OWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! It hurts!!! OUCH! What did yoiu do with that killer lobster! He's in the pot I hope! *peers in pot* OOOOOOOOOO
he's all red now!!! Isn't he a beauty?
Serves him right......OW! Frightened hell out of me! I mean....I was only trying to get one to EAT! It wasn't as if I was going to HURT the thing!!! OWWWWWW!
I was only going to kill it! *sits down sniffs the air* Nothing like nice the smell of nice fresh lobster cooking is there.....ouch! *shakes finger*
Haven't eaten lobster in an air bubble under water before...should have a taste all of it's own Dawn! *ouch* The flamin' thing! It sunk it's claw into me....wait'll I sink my teeth into it! That'll fix it!!!! OUCH!!
Do you like lobster mrgoomb? Hope so...this one's a rippa!! *ouch!!!* *sucks little finger in sympathy with pointer* *ouch!*

 

[dsdumpling]

Aaawww Bev, I'm sorry about your finger. I did wrap it pretty big didn't I? *looks around room* This place is pretty cool. Do you think there is enough air for all of us? *breathes deeper* Are you claustrophobic Bev? *cough, cough* The smoke from the fire is taking up a lot of oxygen. That lobster cooking smells good. Bev, I think he's done. *Finds prongs to take lobster out of pot* Look at him...bet you could sink your teeth into him Bev, one good turn leads to another. *Puts lobster on plate and sets the table for dinner* Where's mrgoomb? *looks around* Well, that's more for us...let's eat. *Bows head* Thank you Lord for this lobster. Thank you Lord for healing up Bev's finger. Amen!

 

[Sunset_Sam]

MUWAHAHAHAHA!!!

 

[dsdumpling]

AAAaaaahhhhhh! He's back! *hugs Bev and shivers*

 

[Bevlina]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!! *hair shoots up on end*.....*eyes bug out* *grabs Dawn*
He smelt the lobster!! Don't let him have any Dawn!! HIDE THE LOBSTER!!
Where's mrgoomb? * stares at Dawn wideyed* Never mind...hope he's not far away!
We'll get Sunset yet!!

 

[mrgoomb]

Do you think this air bubble stays for no reason, I was tending the garden that I have in another part of this underwater cave.
AHHHH!!!! Where'd he come from.
Grabs the pot of boiling water and throws it on Sunset.
Take That!!

 

[Bevlina]

Struth! Sunset took off like a mosquito! Hey! Where's this garden mrgoomb? *grabs Dawn* THIS we gotta see!
Have you got any nice fruit? OO...this is a part of the cave which is nice! *pats hair into place*
Come on Dawn! We're gonna check out mrgoombs garden! er....which way mrgoomb?

 

[dsdumpling]

Whew, that was close! You really got him mrgoomb! Garden? Do you have any veggies? *Grabs Bev's hand and follows mrgoomb to garden* It sure is pretty around here. Bev, I sure was scared when Sam came back *looks around to make sure Sam's not following us*

 

[Bevlina]

You can betcha life he'll be around somewhere on his flying carpet with droids and furbies and he's probably got G.I. Joe piloting the carpet too Dawn!! Knowing Sam...he's not gonna let us get out of this cave without a fight, let alone the air bubble!
He's probably got mrgoomb holed up in his garden making him count his carrot seeds right now.
Come on! Let's have a look! I think I saw mrgoomb come from this direction...let's go....

Er...spooky here isn't it? Watch out!!! There are water sprays coming out from the thing there!!!....WOW!!! That water's freezing!!
Oh Crikey! A freezing shower and no shower gel!! Struth! I hope I've got me deodorant!! YEOWWWWW!!! THAT WATER IS FREEZING!!!*ouch* *ouch*
*yikes!*
