“Why don’t you roll the dice, Felipe!” Isabella impatiently suggested. “That’s a great idea, if I had the dice,” Felipe replied. “If you don’t have the dice, and Isabella doesn’t have it, and Scarlet doesn’t have it, and Theo doesn’t have it. And I don’t have it.” Samantha said, while having a shocked look on her face. “Which means, no one has the dice.” “Yes, Samantha. No one has the dice.” Scarlet said.

“Just go look for the dice mate,” Theo said. They went looking under furniture, looking in drawers, and they even went looking in the fridge for some reason. Searching for the pair of dice, Scarlet found something unusual in the box. She saw that something on the box had a button. But it wasn’t able to be pressed…. Without others pressing it as well. Seeing the instructions written on the box, Scarlet immediately told everyone. “Guys!” “What’s the problem Scarlet? Did you find the dice?” Felipe asked. “Yes and no,” Scarlet replied. “Look what I found.”

“What could it do? Where would it take us? What would happen to us? What if….if we would never see our parents again? What if….” “Stop babbling!” Theo shouted. “Relax. Take a chill pill. Whatever it is, we will do it together!” “Wait! Who said that we are going some place “magical” for a pair of dice. We’re only about 10 and 12 year olds.” Felipe said. “Like, who would do that?” “We will! For the dice!” Isabella shouted. “For the dice!” Everyone shouted. “Let’s just get this over with,” Isabella angrily whispered.

They all placed their hands on the button and waited for it to react. Then a hologram of a timer counted down from 10. Then it continued to countdown. 9, 8, 7...3, 2, 1. *Click.* 

“What happened? Where are we?” Samantha asked. “Nothing!” Scarlet replied. “We didn’t go anywhere.” “Why is that?” Theo asked. “Maybe because this is not a movie. And people don’t go anywhere from board games.” Replied Isabella. “No that’s not it,” Felipe said. “The hologram says that there is one more person missing?!” Felipe confusingly said. “A missing person?” “Yes Samantha. It does say a missing person.” Scarlet said. “We need one more person!” Isabella suggested. “Muuuuuuum!” Samantha screamed. “No no no!”

At that moment, out of the shadows someone came out with a bang. It was…. Professor Plum.

“Who are you?!” Theo screamed, while trying to defend everyone. “Don’t worry! Just consider me, the missing person!”

“Muuuuuuum!”
