P.T.C. Episode #06 - Grit Cave
Written by: CS-Masyet
{Note: This chapter was originally going to be an extra chapter added after the completion of P.T.C.. However, because this chapter was being developed at the same time as the transition to 2010's writing style change, I never bothered completing it, as I figured I would end up including this chapter in the re-write anyways (which I did). What's here is just what I had worked on at the time, so it ends rather abruptly.}
Ail: In his dorm room with Tear. Yes, finally done with homework...
Tear: It took all night...
Ail: So, wanna call it a day...?
Barry: Barges in. BWAAHHH!!!
Tear (scared): Eyahh!!!
Barry: Starts laughing. Man, you're such a scaredy cat!
Ail (angry): What's wrong with you, chef boy?!?
Barry: You're both done with your homework, right?
Ail: Yeah, why do you care?
Barry: We're going to have a courage contest in Grit Cave. Wanna come?
Ail: "We"? Who else is going?
Barry: Your pals! You know... the cute girl, the big guy, and the nerd. Who else?
Ail: The girls who are always with you aren't going?
Barry: No way, it's too scary for them!
Tear (scared): Y-you know, we were just about to go to bed...
Barry: It's only 20:00! C'mon!
Ail: Fine, since everyone else is going...
The six of them go to the entrance Grit Cave.
Barry: This is Grit Cave. It got it's name because only the bravest of people venture into the cave.
Ail: I thought it's called Grit Cave because it's so sandy...
Chelsea: What's so dangerous about this cave?
Barry: There are three paths in this cave. There's a legend that there's a monster at the end of one of the paths!
Ail: Tear Valley?
Tear (scared): M-monster?
Barry: They say anyone who goes there will never come back!
Chelsea: It's only a stupid rumor...
Mac (scared): Isn't this a bit dangerous...?
Barry: Don't worry, we won't go too far in. I put up signs saying when you should turn back.
Mac: Oh, okay...
Tech: ... They all go in Grit Cave.
Chelsea: It's dark in here...
Barry: Don't worry, I brought flashlights. Takes out three flashlights.
Ail: Chef boy, that's not enough...
Barry: Yes it is; we're going to split into three groups. After all, there are three paths.
Ail: (Wow, chef boy is actually making sense for once...)
Barry: Takes out six slips. There are two of each of three different colored slips in my hand. You will be paired up with whoever has the same color as you.
Ail: Makes sense. Everyone takes a slip.
Barry: The slip that I have left is my color. I have green.
Chelsea: No way, that's the color I have! *tearyeyed* I wanted to be with Ail...
Ail: (What are the odds; Barry ends up the only girl...)
Tear: Ail, did you get red?
Ail: No, I got blue.
Tear: That means we're not grouped together...
Ail: Guess not.
Mac: I got blue, bud!
Tear: That means I'm with Tech... (I guess that's okay, since he knows I'm a girl...)
Tech: ...
They all go their designated paths.
Ail: I wonder what chef boy has in store for us...
Mac (scared): Y-you don't have to worry, bud! I'll back you up when the monster appears! N-no monster'll scare me!
Ail: Sees Mac's legs shaking. *sweatdrop* You say one thing, but your actions say something else... A paper ghost pops up in front of Mac.
Mac (scared): GAHHH!!! I'm out of here! Runs away.
Ail: *sweatdrop* Seriously...?
