Burn In Jell

Tottenham explained,"If any objects, including yourself Amy, hit the ground then they would simply just disappear and turn up at the start of a tunnel over there." Tottenham pointed in the general direction of the tunnel. "From there your adventure would carry on as follows.

“You have lost another life," said a loud voice from up high.

Amy jumped up from her lying position. 

"Have you lost five lives yet?” this voice continued.

Amy was totally bewildered at this stage but answered Yes or No. Follow the pathway you are on with Amy's adventures.

1. “Yes, I think I have,” replied Amy.

 At that point Amy fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

2. “No, not yet,” Amy replied, looking all around.

All she could see was a boring, roundish tunnel around two metres in diameter lightly illuminated by small yellow lights set in the sides of the tunnel and a sandy coloured brick path.

Amy only had one choice and that was to move forward along the path. So she took off not knowing how long it was and what was at the other end. Then it happened. Thousands of mini jellybean people appeared from nowhere chattering in birdlike language. There were red ones, yellow ones, green ones, brown ones, scarlet ones, black ones, ochre ones, peach ones, ruby ones, olive ones, violet ones, fawn ones, lilac ones, gold ones, chocolate ones, mauve ones, cream ones, crimson ones, silver ones, rose ones, azure ones, lemon ones, russet ones, grey ones, purple ones, white ones, pink ones, orange ones and blue ones.

This reminded Amy of a song

What Does A Jelly Say?

A- blub-blub-blub-a-blub!


A- blub-blub-blub-a-blub!


A- blub-blub-blub-a-blub!

Biz-a-biz-abiz-abiz-abiz-abiz!

What Does A Jelly Say?

Rob-wob-wobble-wob-wobblywob-wob!

Rob-wob-wobble-wob-wobblywob-wob!

Rob-wob-wobble-wob-wobblywob-wob!

Suddenly she got attacked by tons of coloured jellybean people from all angles. She focussed and saw that these mini jellybean people had mini jelly guns and they were spitting out jellybeans.

Amy had to cover her eyes up to stop the jellybeans flying into them.

“Ouch. Ouch. OUCH STOP IT, ” she yelled. ”What is this?”

She felt a burning sensation with every jellybean that touched her, even through her clothing.

The whole tunnel went silent and the jellybeans stopped flying out. Then out came a little sound “Rob-wob-wobble-wob-wobblywob-wob!”  

“What,” replied Amy confused with the complete change of atmosphere.

“Rob-wob-wobble-wob-wobblywob-wob!” came a voice from another direction.

All of the mini jellybean people of many colours just starred at Amy. And she starred back. Then three minutes later the sound all started again, from all directions.

Rob-wob-wobble-wob-wobblywob-wob!

Rob-wob-wobble-wob-wobblywob-wob!

Rob-wob-wobble-wob-wobblywob-wob!

Rob-wob-wobble-wob-wobblywob-wob!

Rob-wob-wobble-wob-wobblywob-wob!

Rob-wob-wobble-wob-wobblywob-wob!

Rob-wob-wobble-wob-wobblywob-wob!

Rob-wob-wobble-wob-wobblywob-wob!

Rob-wob-wobble-wob-wobblywob-wob!

The sound was very high pitched and piercing. The faces from these mini jellybean people looked serious and evil. Coloured jellybeans then started flying at her again. Amy sure as didn’t want to burn to death from these flying fiery objects!!

She was thinking how on earth could she get further through the tunnel if she is being attacked. Should she make a run for it???

By this stage she was getting burns everywhere on her body so she knew what she had to do; RUN FOR IT. She kept running and running and running.  However the mini jellybean people of many colours kept running after her. She was still continuously being attacked by jellybeans in all directions, with burning consequences…until she tripped and fell to the ground. On the way down something weird happened; a red jellybean flew into her mouth but it didn’t burn her. Actually it had a yummy taste like a strawberry raspberry combination.

Then the tunnel went silent. Amy looked round and the coloured mini jellybean people of many colours were all starring and laughing at her.

Amy had no idea what was happening. Had she done something wrong?

Then she knew what was happening. About three minutes after she swallowed the red jellybean Amy started shrinking and shrinking and shrinking...until she was the same size as the mini jellybean people of many colours.

“Oh no wha… wha… what is this?”

“Rob-wob-wobble-wob-wobblywob-wob!” answered one purple jellybean person.


“Rob-wob-wobble-wob-wobblywob-wob!” answered one ruby jellybean person.

All Amy could hear was Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha from all these mini jellybean people.

Amy then slipped in the tunnel and fell on the body of a dead mini jellybean person. Yes, some of them ‘die’ during attacks of flying jellybeans. This came as a shock to both her and the mini jellybean people. Within an instant, the jelly of the dead body had come up and covered all of Amy’s body, providing ‘an armour’ of sorts.

Amy felt different with the armour surrounding her natural body. The mini jellybean people weren’t laughing any more. They looked as if they wanted to study her, mutilate her body in order to find out what had caused such an unheard of reaction by one of the dead.

Suddenly she felt her body begin to move, but not of her accord, no, it was as if someone else was controlling her. The dead jellybean person may not have been as dead as she thought. Perhaps it had some semblance of life left in it. She shot off down the tunnel, the previously laughing jellybean people sitting in silence as they watched her speed off in to the distance.

Blobs of the armour started to melt off her body due to the speed of the wind. The air was pushing her helpful armour off of her. It was happening so quickly that she was worried she wouldn’t be able to stop without harming herself!

BANG     WALLOP      SNAP

The wall in front of her had come up so quickly that Amy hadn’t had a chance to stop herself from flinging in to it. Luckily it was made of some sort of sticky soft substance so she managed not to hurt herself.

The armour slithered off her, recombining itself at her feet. It seemed to wink at her, before it sank in to the floor. A purple jellybean lay in its wake. Purple. That might be the one she needs to get to right size again! So she popped it in her mouth. There was no burning sensation and the taste was just as delicious as the red one, a yummy grape flavour. Nothing happened. But then…after about three minutes she started growing and growing and growing until she reached her normal size.

“Phew,” thought Amy, “ what a relief.”

She now noticed a door in the wall that she flung into earlier and opened it. She went through it quickly shutting the door behind her before getting attacked by more of these mini jellybean people of many colours.

Amy was now in a smallish room with cornflower blue walls, and a dark blue ceiling. She looked at the floor. It was charcoal with a grid of colourful shapes and something out to one side. She walked over to this grid to look at it more closely. It contained candy shapes in purple, red, green, orange and blue and it looked like a giant computer screen. The something out to the side looked like a giant keyboard. Attached to the keyboard was a note. It said:

You have a game to play.

Use the keyboard.

Move the candy around to get groups of three, four or five.

You can only move candy next door to each other.

You will see two apples and two cherries appear

Bring these to the bottom and off the board

You have fifty moves to do this

If you are unsuccessful you lose a life.

Amy started the game immediately but was a little nervous about losing another life. She thought it was a fun thing to do until she felt some burning things hit her from all angles.

“Ouch Ouch OUCH,” she yelled out again. She looked around.

“Oh no. More jellybeans. This can’t be real.”

She noticed them coming out of little holes in each of the walls, which seemed weird because she hadn’t noticed them before. Anyway she was steering clear of the red ones!!

After Amy’s twentieth move a red cherry arrived at the top of the third row from the left. She knew that if she found groups of three, four or five in vertical rows then the cherries and apples would come down to the bottom quicker.

Jellybeans were continuously bombarding Amy; which was somewhat off-putting to her concentration, in fact a total distraction with every burning hit. She tried to move quickly.

There was now an apple and another cherry on the board to bring down.

Amy noticed that when she got groups of four candy they exploded and a stripe one appeared on the board and that when she got groups of five candy they exploded and a candy covered chocolate ball appeared on the board: just like her initial task in the vertical tunnel. Then she managed to strike a green stripey candy with a candy covered chocolate ball together. The whole board seemed to explode in all angles and both the cherries managed to come down to the bottom and leave the board. The second apple appeared at the top of the board. She now had ten moves to go.

Amy was getting a little nervous, as she did not want to lose another life. Her next move involved striking two stripey candies together and this bought down one of the apples. The other apple was three squares from the bottom.

Did Amy bring the second apple down to the bottom and off the board?

Follow section 1 for Yes or section 2 for No

1. “Yes, I got it,” exclaimed Amy with great excitement.

Before Amy could think any further an opening appeared on the floor directly below her and she found herself sliding down a huge enclosed slide, which seemed to go on forever. This slide was dark to begin with and then became more and more illuminated by bright rays of colourful light beaming across the walls. Eventually she came out of an opening into a space filled with hundreds of colourful candies all playfully dancing about, doing somersaults, telling jokes, playing petanque, making sandcastles, having civilised cups of fruity fizzy, watching Shortbread Street on telly and so on. There was a HUGE hedge-like structure in front of her. She just stood in one place and glared at it with wide questionable eyes and was thinking, “What next?”
