In to the jungle... *gulp!*

Indiana and Jessie trekked to the edge of the jungle. "Here we go!" Indy said confidently. Jessie gulped "Yeah. Here we go" She said nervously.


They took a last look at the lodge and started to go in. A monkey swung from tree to tree. A leopard rustled in the bushes. Jessie started to shake. "Indy?"


Indy was looking around at the jungle view "Yeah?"


"Um... Nothing." Jessie was so nervous. The two adventurers went deeper and deeper into the jungle. Jessie pulled out the cello taped map and studied it carefully. "That way... I think." She pointed to an opening in the bushes. "There should be a cave."


They jumped over logs and trekked through bushes. As they were about to enter the cave, a Panther Girl leapt out from the shadows! "I am Grace the fearless Panther Girl! I am going to eat you up!"


"INDY!!!" Jessie screamed "HELP!!" Indy pulled out his trusty whip and gave it a few lashes. "Ha ha!" he laughed triumphantly. "Fear me now kitty?"


Grace the Panther Girl leapt into the air and hissed "I am no house cat! I am the fearless panther!"


"Um Jess?" Indy said a hint of nervousness in his voice "The whip didn't frighten this Jungle Cat! Got any ideas?"


"I'm thinking I'm thinking!" Jessie said impatiently "Keep her busy!"


Indy circled the panther bravely and lashed his trusty whip a couple of times. The panther muttered threats to Indy and he bravely dodged her pounces.


"What do cats not like...? What do they hate... what are they afraid of... Dogs?... no that won't work... Other cats?... no that might get ugly... What could there possibl-- water... WATER!" Jessie yelled "Indy... catch!" she threw a water bottle to him and he squirted the black cat with H2O


The Panther screeched and ran off into the jungle, wailing. The two citizens stood there watching the crazed kitty. "Wow!" Jessie said "Wow!"


"That was quick thinking!" Indy complemented "Saved our lives that did!"


The friends entered the huge monkey shaped cave, cautiously, and tip toed their way down the tunnel. Suddenly an arrow shot out of a monkey head on the wall. "This place is booby trapped!" Indy and Jessie said in unison! "Watch where you tread" Indy warned


They walked into the cave's centre and encountered more traps. Indy had to use his whip to save Jessie's life from a pit of tarantulas and scorpions. "Thanks!" Jessie said completely out of breath. "Any more surprises?"


"YES!" Indy yelled and started running. Jessie turned around and saw a huge boulder rolling towards her. She screamed and followed Indy to a crack in the wall. "Phew. That was close!" Jessie sighed. "I know" Indy agreed. "Let's find the treasure!"


They came to a treasure room full of boxes and chests. "Wow" Jessie exclaimed "Someone lost their luggage!" Indy chuckled at his companion's joke and edged his way carefully around the trip wire on the floor. Jessie on the other hand walked straight into it. "Um... Help?" Jessie said tangled in the old wire.


Indy rolled his eyes and pulled out a knife to cut the wire. He helped Jessie up and dusted her down. "Follow me!" He ordered with a smile. "Or you'll run into worse than a trip wire!"


They slowly made their way to the centre of the room. Jessie got out her old skeleton key which The Chief had entrusted to her. The key fitted perfectly to the biggest chest and that held a small stone and a few old garments. Jessie then walked over to the pillar in the centre and pushed the stone into a hole on the side. The top opened up and a golden box appeared. "Could this take any longer?" Jessie moaned. She asked Indy to take the box. He used the sand bag to resemble the weight and quickly retrieved the box. Inside the box was a pink object. Jessie placed it on the floor and tapped the object curiously. It split open and a small pink monkey hopped out and started to climb up to the cave roof. "Follow that monkey!" Indy called Jessie and Indy climbed after the monkey.


The monkey led them to a tree house full of puzzle pieces. They had to make the puzzle to find out where the real treasure was hidden. They quickly got to work and after a few minutes they read the puzzle. "Go beyond the wall of water to find a treasure trove. But beware of the huge black hairy spider. Or else you'll never make it home." Jessie read "Sc-sc-scary!" she stuttered "I hate spiders!" she complained


The two friends trekked to the waterfall and ran through the gushing, powerful liquid. They walked through a hidden tunnel and kept a look out for arachnids. Luckily they came across none. They reached the centre of the cave and saw a huge chest of bronze they opened it carefully in case a spider lurked inside and found a mass of necklaces, earrings, bracelets and expensive looking clothes. Beneath all this was a mass of golden bear bill doubloons. Jessie picked up a garnet necklace and studied it carefully. "This necklace is amazing!" she commented "I love it!". Suddenly the cave started to crumble! Jessie and Indy grabbed a few artefacts and raced out. They came to a drop and the cave was pouring in behind them. "JUMP!" Indy yelled "WHAT?!?" Jessie screamed "This has to be a 50 ft drop at least!"


"Just jump!" Indy yelled and they both leapt off the edge of the waterfall.


"AAAAAAAAAA!!!!!" Jessie screamed "INDIANA BUDDY YOU BETTER HAVE AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS!!!"


"WE ARE GONNA LAND NOW!!!" Indy called back above the rushing air.


They went down, down further until the floor was in sight. ---SPLASH!--- They landed in a lake. Soaked, they swam to the edge and climbed out. Panting heavily they lay there for a few minutes staring at the sky.


"We made it!" Jessie gasped astonished at the ordeal. She took a few coins out of her bag and tossed them up and down a few times. "And we got the loot!" she joked.


"Lets go back" Indy reasoned.
