"There it is." Alex stopped as they reached a clearing. "The transportation shed. There's all sorts of vehicles inside. We gotta get one, get across the canyon and get to the Jaguar statue."

"Okay, I see the transportation shed. I see the canyon," Bethany said as she looked over the map, "but I still can't see the statue which is weird, 'cause it's like the most important thing in Jumanji and it's huge."

"That's what she said." Fridge started laughing to himself.

"You drunk, Fridge?" Spencer asked, looking over at him.

"What are you talking about?" Fridge denied the question. "I ain't drunk."

Martha scoffed. "He is drunk."

"I had three little margaritas," Fridge still tried to deny it.

"Well, you're about half your usual size," Roni retorted.

"Whatever, whatever." Fridge huffed and the two glared at one another.

"Okay, Alex, what do we do here?" Spencer asked. "How do we get past the guards?"

"Last time, I waited till they left," Alex replied.

"How long did that take?"

"Three weeks?"

"Oh, we gonna die!" Fridge exclaimed.

"I've been saying that since the beginning," Matt muttered.

"Okay." Spencer nodded. "Plan B."

"Maybe there's another door somewhere," Alex suggested, "But we gotta distract those guys first.

"I've got it," Bethany broke the silence that followed, "Distracting guys is, like, the main thing I do. He plays video games, I distract guys."

"Bethany, I hate to break it to you right now but you don't exactly have the... The tool kit," Fridge chuckled and gestured toward Matt, "Mattie's more of a woman than you are right now."

"If I could slap you right now, I would," Matt glowered.

"Not me." Bethany took a step aside to reveal Martha.

"What?" Martha looked at her shocked.

"You have to go down there and flirt with those guys," Bethany explained as Martha protested, "and hold their attention while we sneak in."

"No! I can't just go over there and flirt with some weird soldiers I don't even know," Martha shook her head, "Why can't Roni do it?"

"Because I'd probably just end up stabbing them," Roni replied.

Matt subtly clutched his chest and nodded his head in agreement, "Which would only attract the attention of more guards."

"You don't understand. I actually can't do it," Martha insisted and took a step closer to whisper to Bethany, "I can't talk to guys. I'm terrible at it."

"I can give you some pointers," Bethany offered.

"No, I'm sorry..." Martha shook her head and started to walk away, "We—we have to come up with another plan. I'm not—no—not doing that."

Spencer walked over and tried to convince her, "Martha you just have to distract them long enough for us to get into the shed."

"I really don't think I can, Spencer, I'm not... Like, I'm not actually some badass girl," Martha hugged her arms around herself.

"What are you talking about? You're a total badass," Spencer replied without hesitation, "You could do anything."

"That's beautiful, Spencer." Fridge interrupted their moment. "Why don't I just go ahead and set you guys with a nice candle light dinner. Or do you guys wanna get the hell out of here?"
