Chapter 10 - WAITING AGAIN

THE STORY OF ARPEGGIO AFTER SLY TURNED MATTERS TO CLOCK-LA CONTINUED...

In the end, we had decided we were being fools, and made the gaurds pull the block of ice in instead. One they had finished, we had to decide exactly
where to put him so he would heat fast enough. Which seemed impossible in such a snowy climate. "Wait!" I said finally. "What makes a blimp go
in the FIRST place???"
"Heat?" Kara said, laughing at how stupid we had both been.
"Correct you are! All we need to do is have the gaurds put him below one of the air balloons, where there's fire, and he'll be heated in no time!"
"Okay, but...it might take awhile, we're gonna have to make the fire pretty big." Kara suggested. "What have we got to feed the fire? Not much grass or anything
around here." Kara said, looking thoughtful like she always does.
"I know just the thing!" I said with an evil grin.
Minutes later, Kara and I were tossing gaurds into the fire. "I've always WANTED to do this!" Kara shouted over the commotion.
We had Jean-Bison put very close to the fire. The ice block began melting almost instantly. Kara and I watched for a while, but we grew
bored very quickly. "I'm gonna go play video-games." Kara announced.
"Why don't we just LEAVE?" I thought to myself. "Why stay just to be caught by the one who built the wall?"
About a half an hour later, we were in the air again. After all, it would be easier this way. Now Jean would have no place to run.
I had Orville and some other gaurds keep watch over our frozen friend while I went inside to relax a little. It was still very dark out, not that it mattered
to us. Well, I suppose it DID matter, after all, our escape would have been a lot harder during the day. It surprised me that no enemy gaurds had made it on the blimp.
These thoughts had JUST left my head when I saw Kara leaning over the edge of the blimp yelling: "AND STAY OUT!!!"
"Wait, Kara!" I yelled as she started to walk back inside. "What was that?"
"Enemy gaurds," she called back. "about five of them."
I suppose my train of thought was right on track!
I followed Kara back to the inside of the blimp, where she had already started playing her video-games. I wasn't at all surprised.
I decided to lay in bed for a while. I had been through a lot last night and I was rather sleepy. I drifted off to sleep very fast that night. The
last thing I heard was Kara saying, "Yeah! Take that, Neyla!" followed by crashing off of the television.
I had fallen for that before. She had said something like that and I had come running out, looking everywhere for Neyla. She had laughed so hard.
