Lukas ran over to Jessica where she was laying on the ground. Then, the glass window disappeared and stairs appeared so they were able to walk down.

"Jess! Jess, are you alright?" Lukas asked lifting her head up with his hand. Her eyes shot open and she leaned up and groaned in pain.

"Y-yeah, I'm alright." Jessica said standing up while grabbing Lukas' arm for support.

"Jessica!" Petra said running over to her hugging her. "Ow." Jessica said gritting her teeth while she was squeezing her.

"Sorry!" Petra said as she let go of her. Suddenly, they heard the intercom start to play.

Congratulations! Your group is the first one to have survived 'The Rooms of Skill'. You may now continue your adventure, and as always Good Luck!

There was an opening in the wall that lead outside. They all started walking over and Jessica held on to Lukas' arm for support.

"Are you sure your alright?" Lukas asked again keeping his arm out for her to hold. "Yeah. Yeah. I'm alright, stop being the 'Usual Worrywart Lukas'" Jessica said with a grin, limping a little.

He slightly snickered and he helped her out of the building. "So now what." Nova asked.

When they were outside, there was huge walls that were along the path so nobody could come in and nobody could leave.

"We follow the map." Petra said pulling them out again. "Into- a huge pond?"

They looked up as they approached the large body of water that was frozen and saw that this was the only way through.

Lukas looked down into the ice to see the familiar face again, "Lukas join me"

He pulled back accidentally pulling Jessica with him, "Sorry." He muttered.

"A-are we supposed to cross this?" Lukas asked. Petra then stepped onto the edge of the lake. "Yup, let's get a move on." She said slowly shuffling her feet across the ice.

Jessica let go of Lukas and started walking after Petra. "Everyone be careful. It's very slippery." Jessica said also shuffling her feet.

"Oh, no shit Jessica? I didn't know ice was slippery." Jesse snickered following behind.

Jessica scoffed as he said that. "Blonde guy, are you going to go?" Ivor asked crossing his arms.

"N-no i'll go last." Lukas said going to stand behind them all. He was messing with his hair, he usually did this when he was nervous. Ivor then started walking after Jesse then Aiden and Cassie followed behind.

"Hey are you alright?" Nova asked looking up at Lukas. "Yeah, I just don't like ice lakes. They just- scare me." Lukas said going closer to the ice.

When Petra got to the end, it started to crack where she was standing and it got her foot wet but she was able to touch the bottom and reach land safely.

Jessica then stood on the ice directed everyone to a different spot so the ice wouldn't break any further as she waited for everyone to cross.

"Lukas, maybe you should go last." Nova said linking her arm with his. "Ok." He huffed as they both stepped onto the ice.

They both took a little longer to cross and once they finally got 3/4 the way across, it started to crack.

"Nope. Absolutely not. Nova, I can't do this." Lukas said in a higher pitched tone, holding on tighter than before.

"Oh quit being a pussy, we're almost there!" Nova said taking another step and it started cracking more.

Lukas squeaky loudly enough for the others to hear and he covered his mouth. Nova started bursting out laughing smirking, "Come on, don't want to embarrass yourself in-front if your girlfriend."

Lukas' face turned pink, "She's not my girlfriend." He sighed sliding across the ice. "No, but you want her to be. I see the way you look at her." She said also sliding, still locking arms with him.

Lukas then look up and saw they weren't far from Jessica, "Maybe you're right." Lukas said with a smile as they approached Jessica.

"I wonder who all that high pitch screaming came from." Jessica said putting a finger on her chin pretending to think. Lukas then chuckled and when they went onto the land, she made a snowball and threw it at him.

"Hey!" He then made one and threw it at her but she caught it and threw it in his face which made him fall back into the snow.

Everyone else laughed and started to throw snow at each-other except Ivor, "Let's go everyone, no time for tomfoolery." Everyone except Lukas, Jessica, and Nova started to walk.

Petra sighed, "What a party-pooper. Here I though Jessica was gonna beat this poor little boy up." She snickered and he threw a snowball at her from the ground and they started walking up the hill.

Jessica then went to help Lukas up when he pulled himself up and made her fall back into the snow and he started to run off with a chuckle. Nova then helped her up and they started walking together.

...

After about 10 minutes they approached the next biome, the cherry blossom biome.

"I still cant believe we're the only group to finish that challenge, i've seen so many people go through and never make it back home." Nova said kicking some grass.

"Yeah, It really wasn't that hard." Aiden said and Jessica and Lukas gave him a glare. "For Cassie and I at least.." He added clearing this throat.

Jesse and Petra were in front of the who group and were talking to each-other.

"Yeah I was thinking about the line, the map pieces made this adventure seems longer." Petra said looking around at the new biome.

"Me too! I mean next thing you know is that the X marks the spot will be right up this-" As they reached over the hill, they saw a huge castle like tower surrounded with lava and bedrock.

"Hill?" Petra finshed and Jesse bumped her shoulder playfully. Then they walked over to a bridge and started to make their way up.
