shitless. Richard started to laugh. Autumn echoed his laughter. Grumbling, the group got out of the elevator.
                  “Sorry, couldn’t help myself,” Autumn said.
                  “Bitch,” Envy hit her sister on the arm. “You nearly gave us all a stroke.” She hit her one more time, harder than before.
                  “Ouch! I get the point.”
                  “That was not cool, Autumn,” Jaime said.
                  “Sorry,” she laughed.
                  “I thought it was funny.” Richard smiled, patting her on the same spot Envy hit.
                  “Thanks,” Autumn grimaced. His eyes got wide.
                  “Oops, sorry,” he said. “Where are we?” He turned looking at the concrete room the elevator opened into.
                  They looked around the empty space they stood in, and didn’t see any Playland.
                  “Says this way,” Drake said, pointing up at the sign. They all looked up at the plain white sign with black lettering.
                  “Well, come on,” River said and started walking through the archway.
                  They all followed through the archway which opened to a huge room. The group stopped, looking around excitedly. Their inner kid started to jump around and scream. A huge ice rink lay in front of them like a white meadow, and in the middle like an iron island sat bumper cars. To the right of the ice rink was a huge carousel, and to the left were rows of videos games. Straight back behind the video games was the biggest funhouse they had ever seen.
                  “This is great!” Autumn said.
                  “Let’s play, people,” Envy said. The girls ran off to the ice rink. “Coming?” she asked her sister.
                  “Nah.” She wanted to check out the video games.
                  The girls went over to the shelves of skates, looking for their sizes. Watching them, Autumn made her way over to the video games. She wasn’t going to make a fool out of herself. She was klutzy and klutzy and ice skates didn’t go together. She eyed some of the games. She had no change, but she did have the keys. And so far, no one knew. She went over to the closest token machine. Frank and Richard were trying to put in a dollar, but it wouldn’t take it. She glanced at the other token machine where Drake and Stefan were trying to put money in it.
                  “Bastard thing,” Frank said, hitting the machine.
                  “You know things don’t work when you beat them,” Autumn told her cousin.
                  River came over. “All these games take tokens, and the token machines aren’t working.”
                  Jaime skated by, “Autumn, this is cool, come try it.”
                  She laughed. “Maybe later, Jaime.” She didn’t figure him to be a skater. Watching him fall on his butt, she noticed the others who were skating. The rest were falling as well. She had been told that ice skating wasn’t the same as regular skating. She had never had a chance to check it out, but now she did.
    A big noise brought her attention back to her cousins. They looked so different from each other, and it was hard to tell if they were brothers. Frank was short and stout with dark features, while Richard was tall and skinny with light features. They had managed to knock over the token machine and get it open.
                  “Empty,” Richard said.
                  “I noticed,” Frank replied as they scowled down at the big machine.
                  “Hey guys, come here,” she motioned to everyone trying to get tokens.
                  A minute later they crowded around her. She stepped back; even she needed breathing room. She
