When the students came through the door into the Danger Shop, they'd find themselves standing on a grassy knoll. Stretching out before them was an expanse of warm, thick bubbling mud over which a simple ropes course had been built. On the other side of that was a stretch of solid ground, and on the other side of that was a lake.

Harriet was waiting for them, hands behind her back. "Good morning." She favoured them all with a brief smile. "All you have to do is get to the other side." She waved behind them, where the door they'd come through had disappeared, then pointed into the distance, where it could just be seen. "As you can see, that's where the door is now. You will work in pairs to go over the course and across the rope bridge, after which you will build a raft and paddle across the lake. You'll find everything you could possibly imagine you'd need to build one waiting for you."

She announced the pairs -- Ella and Ino, Lois and Gwen, Gavin and John -- and then added, somewhat sharply, "Gavin and John, you're going to have an extra special challenge." Harriet threw a belt with metal loops to each of them, and a length of climbing rope with a carabineer on each end. "You will put those on, and you will stay clipped together until you leave, or we're going to be spending every Saturday from now until the end of time together." She gave them a look. "And I will not be happy about it. Now, off you go!" She smiled again. "I'll be keeping an eye on you from outside."

And she turned away towards the door, walking about two feet above the mud, the ground, and the water, and left.

"That'd be me. I gotta ask, I'm not the only one here who got detention for no reason, right?" Or maybe the school knew what Lois was like and was doing some preemptive strike.

"No, it's not just you," Gwen said. "Unless going to the pub is a detentionable offence."

"If it is then I'm going to end up spending a lot of time in detention," Lois mumbled.

"Don't worry," Gwen whispered back. "I'd be keeping you company."

Lois grinned. "At least I'd be in good company."

She looked over at the mud and the lake. "Well, this can't possibly be too hard. If worse comes to worse we could always swim. A little water never hurt anybody."

Gwen eyed the course. "I have to wonder about the chocolate pudding though."

"Yeah, that was weirding me out too," she said. "What a waste of pudding."

Gwen nodded, then because she has spent far, far too much time with Jack. "There's kinky and then there's kinky."

Lois laughed. "Yeah, most people stick with whipped cream and cherries for their food kink. Pudding is just too messy."

"It'd probably stain too."

"That just wouldn't look right," Lois said, wrinkling up her nose.

"Definitely not sexy," Gwen agreed.

"No, definitely not," Lois said, trying to get that image out of her head. It wasn't working. "So, you ready to do this?"

"As ready as I'll ever be," Gwen replied, nodding at John and Gavin. "At least we'll be better off than those two."

"Oh yeah. I'm going to have to keep my eye on those two just for the laughs it's gonna bring," Lois said. "Let's go (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhigh/1792001.html?thread=111252737#t111252737)."
