Ok, this one is a bit more interesting than the last one. And I put myself in it, I'm Indigo. You know kinda like Indy's Girl...even though my real name is Christy, i figured that that wasn't very interesting. Ok, anyway, here's the chapter...


Chapter V


30 feet from the wall. Indy shuddered and turned to the back of the plane. He quickly looked around and saw one of those little floatation devices. He grabbed it and looked to the open door of the plane.
He took the rope that was on the end of the float and tied it to the bar connected to the door.
“Holy shit…” he said in anticipation of what he was going to do. Then he jumped out the door, holding on tight to the float and hoping the plane wouldn’t blow up.
He fell down about 10 feet, and the plane made contact with the mountain. In a huge blast, the plane exploded. Something heavy hit Indiana’s head, and he fell down, down…

Shaggy landed in a heap on the ground, and heard 3 others land beside him. He pushed the parachute off of him and ran to Elaine, who was still untangling herself. He picked her up and kissed her deeply.
“Thank God you’re ok!” he said to her.
“What? I get no kiss?” Shorty said with a smile. Alex was slowly picking himself off the ground.
Shaggy suddenly looked up sadly. He couldn’t see the mountain from there because of the trees, but he could imagine what had happened. The other three looked up too, and they all stood there silently for a minute.
“Now what do we do?” Alex said quietly.
“Hello?” A voice made all four turn their heads. A tall young woman, about 17, stood about 30 feet away from them. She had on dark blue jeans and a light blue nylon jacket. She carried a bookbag on her back, and her light brown hair was pulled into a ponytail.
She jogged towards them when she saw their parachutes.
“Did you guys come out of an airplane?”
“Yes, plane crash into mountain,” Short Round said.
“You’re the only survivors?” she asked.
“Well, there were only five of us on the plane,” Elaine said, paused, and continued. “Yes, we’re the only survivors.”
“Oh.” She didn’t seem to know what to say, so Shaggy stepped forward.
“My name’s Shaggy, this is Elaine, Alex, and Dr. Chen,” he introduced.
“Short Round,” Dr. Chen corrected.
“My name’s Indigo. I was out hiking, my school was on a trip, and I kinda got lost. It’s really easy to get lost out here, the place is so big. So, where are you headed?”
“Well, we were heading to Teotihuacan with my father, but…”
“We still go. I tell Docta Jones we meet him there, so we still go. Indy always make it out alive.”
“I’m afraid you may be wrong this time, brother,” Alex said.
“Well, I’m sure someone at my camp knows the direction there, it’s just I don’t exactly know the way to my camp…”
Alex stepped forward. “We can help you.” He felt someone kick him in the back of the leg.
“Alex, we really don’t need to burden her with our presence,” Shaggy said through clenched teeth.
“Oh no, it’s no problem. Thanks a lot! It’s just…you guys aren’t serial killers or anything are you?”

Indiana Jones opened his eyes and the first thing he heard was a pounding. Then he realized that the pounding was inside his head. He tried to sit up but his head was throbbing. So he moved his eyes around. He found he was sitting on a straw hammock, strung between two trees. He was outside, but under a tent. From behind him, he heard a voice saying…
“Indiana Jones! Long time no see.”

Haha, now YOU, Shaggy, have the surprise ending...Are you making a log of the chapters?
