After an intense game of musical statues, the yetis decided to play hide and seek. There were certainly PLENTY of places to hide in the Yeti Mountain.
‘OKAY EVERYONE,’ bellowed Clemence. ‘I’M GONNA COME FIND YOU IN FIRTY SECONDS!’ She sat on a sofa chair and covered her eyes with her paws. ‘READY . . . STEADY . . . GO! FIRTY . . . TWENNY NINE . . . TWENNY EIGHT . . .’
The pits rumbled and shook as the ancient yetis thundered out of the Party Pit at some speed. Amelia, Florence, Grimaldi and Tangine ran into the tunnels, hearts pounding with adrenaline. Squashy excitedly bounced behind them with a pa-doing, pa-doing, pa-doing.
‘WE NEED TO SPLIT UP,’ said Florence. ‘THE YETIVATOR WILL TAKE YOU TO DIFFERENT LEVELS IF YOU WANNA GET FURVA AWAY! GO, GO, GO! ’ Then she ran off and disappeared around a corner.
‘I’m going to hide in the toilets!’ said Grimaldi, floating off towards the end of the tunnel. ‘Nobody will expect that!’
‘Eww,’ said Tangine. ‘So gross. I’m going to steal Clemence’s idea and pretend I’m a portrait! She’ll never suspect.’ And he ran off back towards the Party Pit.
Amelia picked Squashy up and looked from side to side. ‘Well, I guess we should hurry up and find a good hiding place,’ she said as she headed towards the yetivator.
Amelia pressed a big red button on the wall and the doors to the yetivator slid open with a loud DING.
‘MAIN LEVEL,’ said a flat sort of voice.
Amelia stepped into the lift. She stared at the buttons on the wall and felt her brain do a roly-poly. It certainly wasn’t as simple as just picking a floor. As well as numbered buttons, there were buttons with arrows pointing up, down, left, right and diagonally – not to mention buttons with all sorts of other symbols on them.
‘Well, I’m going to have to press something,’ Amelia said to Squashy. ‘Otherwise Grand-yeti Clemence will find us straight away!’
From the Party Pit further down the corridor, Amelia heard Clemence shout, ‘AND ONE! READY OR NOT, HERE I COME!’
Squashy squeaked in response.
‘Okay, okay . . . here goes, Squashy!’ said Amelia urgently. ‘I’ve NO idea where this will take us, but hopefully we’ll find a good hiding place!’
Amelia closed her eyes and poked at random buttons in no particular order. The doors to the yetivator closed.
‘GOING UP, ROUND, BACK, OVER, DIAGONAL LEFT, UNDER AND UP ONCE MORE,’ said the dull lift-voice.
‘Uh oh,’ said Amelia.
And the lift immediately began to move. Very, very quickly.
Amelia ended up pinned to the wall from the G-force of the lift shooting upwards. Squashy ricocheted off the walls as the yetivator swung around and did a loop-the-loop. It then began to move diagonally and around and around again, before whizzing upwards and eventually slowing to a stop.
The doors slid open with a DING.
Amelia stood still for a moment until her head stopped spinning. Squashy was quite green and coughed up a gooey seed ball. She picked him up carefully and stumbled out of the lift on very wobbly legs.
‘Let’s take the stairs next time,’ said Amelia shakily, going to sit down on the floor. But as she did, something soft brushed past her leg, making her jump straight back up. ‘GRIEVING GOBBLEPOTS!’ she shrieked. But when Amelia looked down, nothing was there.
Amelia clutched Squashy to her chest. Peering down the tunnel, over Squashy’s green-tinged and slightly floppy stalk, she noticed a small bump underneath the carpet. It moved towards Amelia quickly and then, as if by magic, it simply disappeared.
