The trek to the waterfall was long. Most of it was spent going uphill. Stapy became tired from carrying two people on his back, so eventually Liy and Match agreed to hop off him and walk on their own for a while. Liy was still getting used to the new blue environment that the EXITors found themselves in. While it was scary that they were now on the run from a hostile Four, having an entirely new, huge playground to adventure made her feel giddy and excited, a sensation she had been missing for a long time.

"Finally," Match exhaustedly said. "We're, like, here." She put her hands on her knees, leaning forward and taking a breather.

The sound of water colliding filled the trio’s ears. At the top of the hill they trekked, there was a small pond, which the water fell into. “Well, this is a peaceful little place.” Stapy commented, dipping his hand into the shallow water.

“Yeah, but there’s no, like, way to escape.” Match disappointedly replied, a hand on her hip.

Liy’s attention was diverted elsewhere, however. “Forget the waterfall; look over there!” She pointed to a distant castle. A castle! Inside of Four’s body!

Stapy and Match joined her side, both studying the blue castle. “A Four.. castle..?” Stapy raised a brow, face scrunched.

“This place makes, like, no sense.” Match’s tone sounded disappointed.

“Hey, we should all go there. Maybe there’s something that can help us escape.” Liy suggested with a smile. So many things to explore inside of Four. So many adventures to be had!

Stapy smiled awkwardly. “Hey, I know you want to explore, but we should focus on what we have here before we get lost. If this waterfall is useful, we need to regroup and let everyone else know!”

Liy frowned. “What is there, here, that’s useful? It’s just a pond and waterfall.”

Stapy hummed, putting a hand on his chin. He looked the waterfall up and down. The water was very clear, almost transparent with how clean it was. His eyes widened and he lit up in a smile. He pointed to the top of the waterfall. “Hey, I think there’s something up there.”

“What do you, like, mean, like.” Match looked up, unconvinced.

“I think that there is land up there. The ceiling looks like a lighter blue than down here.”

Both of the girls still weren’t convinced by Stapy. “I don’t know what you have against checking out a whole castle! But,” Liy frowned. “Even if there was something up there worth going to, how are we going to get up? We can’t just go up the waterfall.”

“How do you know?” Stapy smugly replied. “This is Four we’re talking about here! Nothing that weird number does makes any sense.”

“Well, I’m not gonna waste my time trying.” She folded her arms, turning away from him.

“Match! Why don’t you try going up there?”

“Are you kidding me?” She shouted. “I’ll get absolutely soaked!”

Stapy forcefully picked her up, holding her above his head. Through her demands he put her down, he shouted, “Nothing good comes easy! In you go!” He tossed her into the waterfall. And, surprisingly, Match started slowly floating up. “Oh! Liy, look!” He pointed at Match.

Liy reluctantly looked back, only to be shocked that Match was actually scaling the waterfall. “Wh- How is this possible?” She asked, astounded.

Match stuck her face out of the water, gasping for breath. She coughed twice, angrily looking down at Stapy as she ascended. “That was so totally, like, unnecessary, Stapy!”
