"It's not an uber expensive stage prop? Drats." Man, i had to stop making these dumb money quotes. They were making me look...well...dumb. But besides me being dumb was Daniel. That's right, we were the couple-who-usually-say-reaally-dumb-and-random-stuff. Yeah, i'm half expecting Daniel to say THAT aloud anytime now.

Well, we were all walking on the small, tiny, petite bridge, and we actually finally got across without any deaths, injuries, or retarded comments. -pheeew-

Well, the streak of no random questions had finally ended. I just had to ask! "Hey, Tom...are you going out with Stephanie?"

There. I said it. I could almost just feel Steph's glaring eyes fall upon me. But before i died from that, we arrived at the dining room. And holy crap was it big. It was nearly three times as big as the one in my house. And boy i thought THAT was big. Dark scarlet red curtains blocked the sunlight outside. The dark cherry wood flooring was absolutely stunning, $5,000 to maintain a month, at least. The wonderous display of well chosen artifacts stunned me. But what was the awesomest were the 1787 gold plated knives, and the 1788 silver plated spoons, and the legendary 1789 platinum plated forks that were given to a begger by Queen Katheryn Bristol herself.

"Hey look! It's the 1787 gold plated knives, and the 1788 silver plated spoons, and the legendary 1789 platinum plated forks that were given to a begger by Queen Katheryn Bristol herself!" said Daniel.

"Man...don't we think alike." I walked towards Daniel, and patted him on the back. No point getting mad at him, really.

Suddenly the door burst open, and 7 heads turned around to find...

To be continued...(ehehe^^ just for the heck of it)

Stephanie

I stepped back to allow Tom to pass. Around the Hall, camera and effects crew were stepping out of the artfully crafted shadows.

JJ sighed in the direction of Flouffy, rubbing her hands as if in anticipation. Jenny sighed as Tom pulled out a handkerchief and handed it to her. I sighed to watch Tom flirting so shamelessly.

"Tom, let's get this place cleaned up. We can do introductions and explanations-" I shot a look at each of my friends, "over a meal in the dining room."

"Sure thing, beloved," he answered.

Five heads snapped towards me even quicker than when I called for Flouffy to heel.

I walked across the bridge to where the animatron, Flouffy, was paused in mid-motion. The extremely realistic slobber had stopped dripping, at least. "This crevasse is actually quite deep; it's not a stage prop, so tread carefully," I called over my shoulder.

Aaron

"CUT!"

Everyone turned their heads in the direction that the intelligent voice had come from, landing their eyes on a high balcony. A young man stood up from his seat and removed his sunglasses, looking down at us. He was well-built and I heard the girls sigh at the sight of him from beside me. Rolling my eyes, I turned and noticed that there were lots of people suddenly hustling in the Forbidden Hall.

"What is this?" I asked, turning towards Stephanie.

"It's a movie set," she replied matter-of-factly. "My grandmother is a famous actress, didn't you know? The Golden Butterfly, she's known as. Her real name, of course, is Jine Fan."

Emily cast a shifty eye at the three-headed dog. "What about Flouffy?"

"Oh," Stephanie said with a regal air, "It's all mechanical. It was very expensive to construct, being high-tech and all. It's very life-life, don't you think? Its memory chip is very advanced and it has taken to know me well and obey."

Jay Jay's eyes glew as she turned towards the machine. "Expensive, did you say...? Exactly how much money are you talking abou - ?" She was interrupted as the group turned to face the director coming towards them.

"Jeez, Stephanie... As if you haven't played with that dog enough..." he complained unprofessionally as he rubbed the back of his neck. Looking at the others, he said, "Oh! I haven't introduced myself yet, have I? I'm Tommy, Tommy Winston."

JayJay

(OOC:// Iono if this is just me. But i seem to be posting a lot. Mainly cause i'm really bored in CALM. Well, post peoples ~ !)
Okay, maybe the pit WASN'T 7 feet deep, and maybe i was exaggerating about the depth, but at least i wasn't exaggerating about the three headed dog. At least i hope i wasn't.

So i was out of the hole by the time Stephanie yelled "HEEL FLOUFFY!" Yeah, that was HER DOG? ...DOGS?!? Man, today has been such a weird day. But then again, my day's always weird.

So there was this akward silence. Even the dog(s) stopping drooling. About time too. It looked like Jenny was just sick of the shower that she was getting. Jonathan turned off his dune-buggy, and we just stared at Stephanie. So i guess she realized that we were trespassing. But it was for a good reason. I think. Would "just cause" be a good reason? I don't knoow.

I mean, she must've missed us right? I mean, at least she wasn't yelling at us by now. So she should be happy right?

There was only one person who could break the silence now. "Hey Jonathan, can i get a ride in that thing?" Daniel spoke, quite innocently in fact. It was almost as if he didn't notice the dead silence that hung above us. Mainly the dog. Dogs. Man, do i refer it as a he or she? Or, is it plural or something?

Well, i just stood there. Stood there and waited for someone to say something intelligent. Which thereby excluded Daniel.

Stephanie

There was a dog. With three heads.

I smirked and let the scene before me play out. Ah, sadistic is my middle name.

Just to make sure that we all learned a lesson about trespassing (I still had no idea why my schoolmates had attempted to enter my property!), I used my foot to dig the dusty soil out of a 30-cm-high divot in the rock. According to my calculations, JJ would be heading this way soon enough.

Aaron and Jenny were scrambling to reach the bridge and get away from the chasm at the same time, which did not produce efficient results.

JJ and Daniel were... having some fun together. Suddenly, JJ broke away, screamed in my face, and ran. At least, she tried to. She fell into my 30-cm-high hole, and began to flail.

Predictably, Daniel came around to help her. Honestly, just because 30 cm is relatively big compared to JJ, it doesn't mean that she needs emergency assistance, Daniel-provided or not.

I tried to point out that JJ could get out on her own quite fine, thank you very much, but suddenly the rumbling peaked and the door behind us exploded.

Okay, I exaggerated. Something, rumbling like a lawnmower, shot through the door and towards the bridge.

Jonathan waved hello from his seat in the dune-buggy. He drove full-speed towards the cliff, probably aiming to jump the crevasse or something equally Gryffindor-ish.

I gaped. Talk about an unlikely hero.

Not that we would need one. I decided to take charge - they were in my house, anyways.

"Flouffy!" I yelled. Eight heads turned toward me. Phew, I'm not sure if it was just me, but it was turning out to be quite a party in there. "Heel, girl!"

JayJay

(OOC:// WTF!?!?!?! TREE???) (Stephanie Edit: For goodness' sake, people, it's 'OOC', not 'OCC'. Whatever blog you saw 'OCC' on had a spelling error. 'kay? =D)

Okay, this was a problem. Something was rumbling, and it was coming from somewhere. Just not from Daniel's stomach, nor my need of money. On the other side of the so called flimsy bridge, i saw Aaron and Jenny. And a three-headed dog. Okay, that was weird.

"Hey! What are you doi-" i screamed at Daniel as grabbed at my belt. It took me awhile to settle down and realize that he was trying to get the walkie-talkie. He began talking loudly and told Aaron and Jenny to cross the bridge (of death, so it seemed).

Honestly, if i was in either Aaron's or Jenny's postition, i would've ran right across the bridge with my eyes closed, and hoped that someone would pay for my medical expenses, but that's just me.

I looked at Stephanie's stunning face (not like she would be stunned that we were here) and totally screamed "RUN!"

I totally forgot about the three-headed dog. Yeah, it was weird, it was scary, but most of all, it could probably eat us. Three-at-a-time. With not enough people for seconds of course. I ran towards the exit, but tripped and fell into a random pit.

That's right. A random pit. A random pit that OBVIOUSLY wasn't there when me and Daniel entered. Which means someone had dug it. It was too high for me to get out by myself. It was quite frustrating.

Daniel came by the top of the 7 foot pit, and waved hello. "Are you alright?"

I seriously half expected myself to reply "...alright...alright...alright..."
But i didn't. I was a little stressed with the situation at hand.

Tree

Aaron

Pushing the tile past our heads, I pulled myself up first and looked around, gazing at the intricate designs on the high ceiling.

"Little help here..." a muffled voice came from behind me and I suddenly remembered where I was. Turning around, I leaned forward and helped Jenny get up into the vast hall. "Whoa," she said in awe. "Where are we?"

"No idea..." I replied, gazing around the empty hallway for some signs of guards or dogs. "Oh right! We'd better put the tile back in place..." Bending down, Jenny helped me as I lifted the tile and set it back into place. Suddenly, a large glob of liquid sloshed down Jenny's front and she fell back in surprise.

"Ugh! What is this stuff?" she asked, feeling the substance in her hand. A large shadow fell upon us and we both looked up to see a huge gaping mouth of teeth... Make that three huge gaping mouths of teeth. Stunned for a moment, I quickly grabbed Jenny's arm and pulled her with me as we ran for our lives. Obviously, we wouldn't be able to outrun it, but hey, we could try, right? In the distance, we could see an enormous crevasse in the ground.

"Uh oh..." I panted as we reached the large pit. "Now what do we do...?" Jenny gasped and clutched at the front of my clothes, eyes widening as the three-headed dog came closer and closer...

Stephanie

"You're an idiot," I admonished the guard in front of me matter-of-factly.

"But, Miss Lishakov, he threw a rock at me! That classifies as a high-level threat!"

Mother of Pearl, I'm surrounded by idiots. "So you shot your gun."

"Yes, Miss Lishakov!"

"All right, which way did they go?"

"Which way did who go?"

"...The one with the little eyes and the one who threw a rock at you."

"Oh!" the guard exclaimed. "Them!"

I wanted to get to the nearest tree and bash my head against it.

"That way." He pointed towards a door to the manor.

I almost choked on air. 'Almost' being the key word. It wouldn't do to actually show emotion in front of my subjects, now would it?

THE FORBIDDEN HALL...

...read the big, flashing neon sign over the door.

"No! They can't have been so desperate or blind or MORONIC as to enter THAT door!" I tried to reassure myself. It didn't work. Such are the friends that I keep.

The guard looked nervous. "Miss Lishakov, perhaps we shouldn't follow them..."

"Shut up," I answered curtly, and headed into the house.

The Hall is not a hall. I wish I knew which of my ancestors made up the label so I can spurn them for it.

In fact, it is a natural crevasse cutting straight through my property as a result of glacial movement.

Only the most desperate or blind or moronic people can imagine it as a hallway. The ceiling is visible; the floor is not. It's a sheer 300-metre drop with a tiny rope bridge across to connect the West and North Wings of my manor.

"...That is one deep crevasse," said a male voice, just as I opened the door. Daniel, I thought.

"You keep speaking my thoughts out loud." That was another voice - I'd recall it anywhere. Jenny. Jenny Jiang.

I stood back a couple of feet to watch them. They didn't even notice. I hadn't seen my friends since summer began, and it felt nice just to be in their company. Not that I'd ever admit that out loud!

Daniel leaned over the edge of the cliff and repeated, "That is DEEP."

"DEEP.. deep..." the canyon echoed back, and Daniel's eyes widened.

He called back down into the crevasse, "HELLO!"

"Hello!...hello..."

"IS ANYONE DOWN THERE! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?"

"...all right... all right..."

"Okay, just checkin'!" he said, giving a thumbs up sign. Then he glanced over his shoulder at us. JJ was sitting on a rock, shaking her head back and forth in an 'I pity you' manner. It was almost fond.

"Hey! Stephanie!" cried Daniel.

JJ's eyes widened too. At least I thought they did. Maybe. It was hard to tell, as one can imagine.

"STEPHANIE!"

Then everything started rumbling, and it was not Daniel's stomach.

JayJay

The large scary figure was actually a dog. The sad thing was that we, or at least me, was afraid of that dog. It was a big, scary, vicious, frightening, horrific, unimaginably scary, dog.

“Oh look!” Daniel whispered, “It’s a big, scary, vicious, frightening, horrific, unimaginably scary, dog.”

I kicked Daniel in the shin hoping to gain myself some time, and tried to run away. Unfortunately, I kicked the ground next to his leg, tripped on a branch, and fell flat on my face.

Daniel started talking again, “Maybe in attempt of gaining yourself time, you probably tried to kick my shin but you kicked the grou-“

I yelled at him to start running, but it was way too late. Someone had already noticed that we were here. And by someone I mean a person, not a dog. It seemed like a guard had noticed us hiding in the bushes, and was running towards us. “Hey, you kids! Stay where you are! You are trespassiin-“

Daniel threw a rock at the guard, and continued running. We saw a clearing amongst the trees and we ran towards it. Man, what was it and people copying my words, and interrupting sentences…anyways, we hit the clearing, and ran towards the nearest door to the house. We pushed open the door together, and saw this huge hallway.

The Forbidden Hall.

I was speechless. Okay, maybe not.
"Holy moneybags"

Stephanie

I rolled my eyes at the scene before me. Those guards reacted at just about anything! Really, how annoying.

The moment I snapped my fingers, the dozen or so armed guards stood to attention.
Taking quick stock, I counted two boys in the trees beyond. One of them yelped.
Two thoughts suddenly occurred in my analytical mind.

1. Her voice was too high to be a girl's.
2. I recognized these two trespassers.

"What are you doing here?" I exclaimed.

One of the guards looked at me. "Miss Lishakov, there were several trespassers. These were the ones we caught, but I assure you - the guard dogs are out looking for the others."

I heard a bark from the vicinity of the West Wing. "Call of your dogs and put down your guns," I ordered briskly. Jonathan looked like he was about to wet himself. I almost snickered at that image. Jonathan's wet pants... ahah.

The guards were looking at my smirking face with something resembling anxiety. "Miss Lishakov?"

"Huh? Oh, yes, go back to patrolling. Make sure those dogs don't attack anybody. Oh, and - get this girl to the North Wing infirmary."

Then it was to the matter at hand. I sighed. "All right, ruse is up, Emily, Jonathan. Who else is her-"

An alarm sounded.

"Miss Lishakov! Someone tried to access the Forbidden Hall through the trapdoor!" A guard informed me in a panicked voice.

"Lower your tone with me, guar-"

A gunshot sounded from roughly the same place that the dog's barks had come from.
'Uh-oh,' I thought. I didn't dare say it out loud, since obviously everything had to have just the timing to interrupt my speech today.

JayJay

"Ack." my foot got caught in some shrubbery. In the distance i heard a small crash, as if someone was accidently pushed because someone was trying to get away and thus fell off a tree branch and onto the mossy ground.

"Did you hear that?" asked Daniel, "It's sounds like someone was accidently pushed because someone was trying to get away and thus fell off a tree branch and onto the mossy ground."

... I had nothing to say. After Aaron's and Jenny's walkie-talkie went dead, I was crawling around the mansion in thick, disgusting, shrubbery. Me and Daniel were trying to find a better entrance to the house. We just hoped that Aaron and Jenny were okay. I mean the guns were really scary. And really expensive. They were top model sniper guns, and some assorted golden shotguns with platinum bullets. Some very nice equipement.

"Did you hear me JJ?" asked Daniel.

"Only too well. I know you too well too." i replied in a whispered tone.

"Well, i have a plan. Come over here, i'll tell you. First I'm going to ru-urk."

We were once again interrupted by a strange figure that was standing no less than 6 meters away from us.

Aaron

Panting, I scanned the dark tunnel with my flashlight and watched the glow fade out into the darkness ahead. Sighing, I turned my eyes as Jenny slowly turned around and gaze cautiously at me.

"You okay?" she asked. "We're lucky we found that strange cellar door in the middle of nowhere... If not those guards would have seriously gotten us."

"Can't say I'm not okay since we were really lucky, but I wonder when we're going to get there..." I replied as she turned and we continued trudging along the deep underground path. "Well, too bad we can't get any signals here for our walkie talkies. I guess we'll have to wait until we get up, hm?" I stretched with a more cheerful tone. There was a muffled crash from above in the distance and tiny dirt particles fell in dusty clouds as the tunnel shook.

There was a moment of hesitation, then Jenny said, "Wow... I wonder what's going on up there... Oh hey! There's finally some stairs over there!" Hurrying forward, we clambered up the stairs and I focused my light on the trapdoor above us.

"Ready?" I asked as Jenny nodded. Together, we pushed open the trapdoor and pulled ourselves up, bathing in the bright light of day as we examined our surroundings.

Stephanie

A muffled crash interrupted my thoughts. I put down my copy of Dante’s Inferno and stretched like a cat. The overstuffed armchair looks like everything else in the manor – large, opulent, pretentious, and from an era long past. This one was from the mid-1600s, apparently. Priceless. Who cares? I used a fingernail to pluck a hole in it.

I was bored.

The antique grandfather clock read 9:42.

‘Well,’ I thought, ‘might as well investigate that crash, Stephanie.’

Leaving the library, I walked down several long corridors lined with paintings of my long-dead ancestors.

I passed the ballroom, the dining room, the servant’s quarters, the garage, and the Forbidden Hall – and I hadn’t even left the East Wing yet.

Once I descended the stairs into the Entrance Hall, I nodded to my butler and signaled for him to open the front door.

Emily

Now what kind of trouble can Jay Jay gotten into? I stretch from my cramped position sitting on the wide branch of a tree. Is she drunk already? Probably, I mean guns... suuure, and I'm a boy. I inch my way forwards on the branch and part the dense green foliage to look down on the courtyard below.

Well... steal my sword and skin me alive... there ARE men with guns down there. Who ever thought of this brilliant idea to sneak into Steph's house is going to die once I get outta this tree. A sudden rustling behind me drew my attention and guess who I just had to get stuck with. You guessed it, Jonathan, and he looks like he saw a ghost.

"G-guys... with BIG guns," He gestured franticly towards the guards, rustling more leaves as he shook.

"I'm not blind you know." Honestly, how did I ever get stuck with this guy in my tree.

Then the hairs on the back of my neck tingled and I turned back to look at the guards below. Apparently they found something interesting to talk about. A guard looked up and pointed in my general direction while his buddy raised his gun. Hang on ... WAIT DON'T FIRE!! I turned and warned Jonathan, and my repayment? A kick in the face as Jonathan attempted to scramble off the branch. My last thought as I plummet to my almost certain death? I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE!!!

JayJay

Crouched down underneath a pile of bushes, I was totally muttering to myself. It already felt like i wasted money on a pair of plane tickets to Russia. So far, ever since i got to Russia, i've been crawling under bushes, trying not to get noticed.

"It wasn't a waste of money, it's for Stephanie's sake." whispered Daniel from behind me.

I elbowed him in the ribs.

"Oh shuddap, that was my hard earned cash. And I paid for you too!" I sighed, took a breath, and continued with my rant, "like, can't we just waltz into her house and say surrrpr------gun." My rant was stopped short and i heard a click of a gun.

"Surprgun? Man, i know you're weird and all, but you don't have to go inventing words like that." whispered Daniel.

I elbowed him again, and took out my walkie-talkie. I pushed down a button and whispered "Wolf-girl, AarBear, JT, Jon. Target has maximum security. I repeat, maximum security. It's going to be a toughie. Be on your toes. Birdie, out."

Daniel gave me a confuzzled look. I merely pointed to the dozen people walking around a huge mansion. Guards. With guns. But man, was that a big house or what. It would definately be worth a fortune. Suddenly i heard a click from the walkie-talkie. Me and Daniel bent down to listen.

"Urgent, urgent. We've been spotted. Escaping now. Run for yooour liv- "
The line went dead.

SUMMARY OF ACTUAL MANGA

Meet the new exchange student from russia, Stephanie.

Winter break approaches and during the winter dance, J.J. spikes the punch. Jonathan tries to grope Stephanie but is awarded with a slap across the face.(soo Inuyasha) Aaron, Jenny and Emily were making absolute fools of themselves. Daniel set off a firecracker in the girl's washroom (Jonathan's idea). All things that happened above were under the influence of the booze (except for the slap). When asked for a confession Aaron, Jenny, and Emily admitted to the crime that they did not do (under the influence of booze ^^) . J.J. admitted to her crime. Principle, not knowing who or what to believe, sent all seven of the students to a camp in a nearby National Park.

The bus, while traveling on icy roads, skidded and rolled into the ditch. The bus driver (Fahim) was drinking ( sure has alot of drinking in this story) and ran away into the forest claiming he was a bear. (...) They were stuck in the mountain peaks of Mistletoe Mountain. (duh). Daniel remembers that he has the key to his uncle's lodge at the mountain and the group hike the little way into the forest to the cabin.
Here is where the drama begins and new love is blossoming as the friends grow closer over the vacation.
