Chapter 18 - Segment 18

Gazu looked over to Jinjuso smirked menacingly and said, "so Is that your first?" "Y'know some people just lack the ability to realize that everyone in the room wants them to shut up", Jinjuso said with absolute conviction, Gazu was too stunned to say anything. Curzon started sobbing once again but this time it was a happy sort of sobbing, he muttered the words, "beautiful, beautiful love, it tuuugggs at the heeaart strings", "man these lot are weird", thought Kaizeen. Timothy looked oddly anxious and worried and stuttered the words, "g-g-guys can we g-go now we m-might not make it in time!". Lillian pulled a pocket watch out of her dress pocket and said, "Oh, the time, the time, it seems it is now ten to five", Lillian looked up with a worried expression as she said this and then carried on saying, "Timothy is right gentlemen, we must hurry!"

And so Jinjuso, Kaizeen, and co set off once again but with newfound strength as they were now equipped with a magical barrier around their feet thanks to the kind actions of Lillian. "This barrier is great Lilli I don't feel a thing, and my feet aren't being affected at all", said Jinjuso amazed, "yeah you've been really helpful", said Kaizeen smiling at her, Timothy and Curzon both looked at her and nodded agreeing with them, "thank you gentleman, just glad to help", Lillian said as she did a curtsy. "NOBODY CARES LET'S GET MOVING", as Gazu said this everyone had already started moving along, "H-HEY WAIT FOR ME", he said as he started moving along as well. As they were walking along, the forest got just as confusing and twisty and twirly as the spaghetti junction this continued to happen until they eventually and unfortunately stumbled upon a fork in the path. This led to two completely different areas of the forest. "U-um w-which way now", Timothy said confused, "AND HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO KNOW", Gazu said just as confused, "theeey could've at least giiiven us a maaap", said Curzon frustrated, "well that is the point of the test, to navigate our way around this forest whilst avoiding the dangers". "BUT WHICH WAY DO WE GO THERES TWO DIFFERENT PATHS?", Gazu said frustrated, "well how about we play rock, paper, scissors and then whoever wins gets to pick a path, they both played rock paper scissors, Jinjuso won. "Ok we go down the right path", Jinjuso said marching on, "b-but what if that leads to the wrong place", said Timothy, "honestly I expected better Jinjuso", said Kaizeen with a smug expression on his face, "Oh shuddup!", replied Jinjuso, "I'm sorry but that's a terrible idea Jinji", said Lillian empathetically. "GOT ANY BETTER IDEAS THEN", said Gazu forcefully,"immm gunna cry if we dooont pick a path soon", said Curzon on the verge of tears. "Ohhh no please don't cry", Lillian said as she went over to comfort Curzon. Everyone paced the spot anxiously trying to figure out which way to head down, then immediately breaking the awkward silence Lillian looked at everyone with a light in her eye and said, "Gentleman I have quite the striking proposal", "and what is your idea?", asked Kaizeen. "Well, how about instead of picking one path, we pick both!", she said as she skipped on the spot as she had thought of the best idea known to man. "As Timmy mentioned earlier heading down one path could lead to the wrong area and we wouldn't want that", said Jinjuso looking like he agreed with her plan. "So you're suggesting we split into two groups and head down a path", said Kaizeen assertively, "exactly", she said beaming with joy, "let's go along with that plan guys, I mean it's the most reasonable course of action seeing as one group can just head back if they went down the wrong path", said Jinjuso most definitely agreeing with the plan. "Soooo whoos with who?", asked Curzon, "well leave the group sorting to me as Jinjuso isn't good at this stuff", said Kaizeen as he stood in front of them, Gazu looked at Kaizeen frowned and said, "JUST LETTING YOU KNOW, BUT IM NOT BEING ON A TEAM WITH YOU, OR THE CRYBABY, BUT IM BEING WITH MY RIVAL!" "Just letting you know things don't always go the way you want it, and Jinjuso's my rival, not yours", said Kaizeen, "Ok so going down the right path will be, Jinjuso, Lilli and I, cause I know Jinjuso wants to be with his girl", he said as he laughed, "oi shudupp", said Jinjuso. Kaizeen continued, "ok going down the left path will be, Gazu, Curzon and Timothy", "HEY REMEMBER WHAT I SAID, I SAID I WOULD BE WITH MY RIVAL AND NOBODY ELSE", Gazu said angrily, "hey remember what I said, not everything goes your way", replied Kaizeen. "WHAT DO YOU THINK JINJUSO?", asked Gazu, "I think you need to protect the weak 'rival', or are you weaker than the weak", Jinjuso said cunningly, "understood rival", said Gazu finally not shouting. So, after some more group reflection, they then headed down their separate paths into the dark abyss of the forest.
