"Hmmm, tough choice. Let me take a peak at one." Duo said as he slightly opened the door on the left. A bright light peaked through so it was hard to see.
"Well, let me check it out." Duo replied as he took a step forward, and fell.
"Duo!" shouted Quatre.
"I'm down here Quatre. Help me up!" Duo called to the Arabic pilot. He was hanging onto the cliff by his fingers.
"Ok Duo." Quatre said as he struggled to pull up his comrade.
"Thanks Quatre." Duo said when he was on the floor.
"I told you Duo not to take any shortcuts." Quatre replied.
"Well sorry, but at least we only have 2 choices left. The right and the middle door. Now which one?" Duo asked Quatre.
"I don't know. Let's try the middle, no wait the left." Quatre began.
"I know, we'll flip for it. Now where's my lucky penny?" Duo said while searching through his pockets.
"That's it Duo! You're a genius!" Quatre exclaimed as he grabbed the coin out of Duo's hand.
"See, if it wasn't for me, then you wouldn't have,... What the heck are you doing Quatre?" Duo asked frantically as he watched Quatre open the middle door and toss his penny out.
"See Duo, Noin had it all planned out. When we open the door, we're blinded by light so we can't see if there is ground underneath us. But if we toss the coin, it will bounce on the floor and make a sound. So if there's a sound, then we can walk and we'll find another clue!" Quatre shouted gleefully as there was a faint 'pat' on the floor. Then Quatre stepped on it and looked down. Sure enough there was a marble floor underneath him.
"That's great and all Quatre, but that was my lucky coin. I always had it in my pocket on my first date, my first kiss, and my first time piloting Deathscythe. Your just lucky that it landed on the ground. Now if you don't mind, I would like my coin back." Duo said as he outstretched his hand.
"Ummm, sorry Duo. That door may have had a door, but it also has holes. And your coin kind of, umm bounced on the floor and into a hole." Quatre replied.
"What?" asked Duo.
"It's just a coin Duo, that's just the least of your problems." Quatre stated as he pointed towards the ceiling. Over a huge hole in the middle of the floor, there was a large pole hanging over it, and a piece of paper seems to be attached to it.
"Aww man, how the heck are we supposed to get up there? I don't think we can jump that high. Now if only Trowa was here." Duo said.
"Well he's not Duo, we have to get up there somewhere, without falling into that hole, or jumping into another one." Quatre replied as he walked towards the huge hole, trying to avoid other ones.
"Yea, we gotta think. That's gonna be hard." Duo said as he followed Quatre.
"Hmmm, I think I have an idea Duo." Quatre finally said after 5 minutes of thinking and staring at the pole and hole.
"Well, what is it?" asked Duo.
"Since I weigh less, I'll stand on your shoulders and then I'll jump and try to land on the floor. How is that?" asked Quatre.
"Sure, as long as I'm not the one who's jumping." Duo told him.
"Well yes, that is true. But." Quatre began.
"But? But what? There are no buts." Duo said.
"Ok, however." Quatre started again.
"However is a fancy but." Duo told him.
"Whatever. Now, you have to lean on the edge of the hole so I can jump onto the pole." Quatre stated.
"No way! What if I fall in and I go plummeting to the ground. That's like what, 3, 4 floors. I don't have my parachute and I'm not Heero." Duo said.
"Well, too bad. Now hurry up, I have to stand on your shoulders." Quatre told him.
"Fine, fine, fine." Duo said as he bent down so Quatre could climb on.
"Ouchh! Dude, as soon as we get home your going to Bally Total Fitness and your going to drink a Slimfast everyday. Now hurry up or I'm gonna break my back." Duo said as he struggled to walk.
"Be quiet, now go closer to the edge." Quatre instructed.
"Fine."
"Closer."
"If I go any closer we're gonna fall." Duo said.
"Just one more step and then I'll jump and it will be a relief on your shoulders and back." Quatre said.
"Fine, but after this, I'd better be getting paid." Duo grumbled.
"Ok, 1,.. 2,.. 3,.. Jump!" Quatre shouted and jumped onto the pole.
"Hey Quatre! Are you ok? Do you have the note? We only have an hour left. Well do you?" shouted Duo.
"Yea, Duo. Now quit distracting me, I'm going to try to jump down now. I have the note though." Quatre replied.
"1! 2! 3! Go!" and Quatre jumped down. Then he landed on the floor, in one piece (whew!).
"Whoa, Quatre. You ok? Give me the note?" Duo said as rushed over avoiding the hole.
"Yeah, here you go. I'm too tired to read it." Quatre said.
"Ok, it says
In the next room
You'll find many holes
Jump in the right one
And you'll be closer to your goal
