Besides, it's you we're talking about. Astra is a well-oiled Aqualarian
war machine, with eyes as keen as falcons and boobies as ripe as melons,
as Fred can assuredly testify. If she saw Fred go right, he
probably went right. You're just seeing things. You're crazy. "Coming,
Astra!" you call after her. But Astra is much faster than you, and it takes you quite some time. When you finally do reach her, you're so out of breath you collapse to the ground. Astra makes fun of you. "So where did he go?" you ask the full-breasted princess once you've regained your stamina."He just up an disappeared. The tunnel dead-ends here, and he's nowhere to be found." Astra looks disappointed. "Maybe the tunnel doesn't end here," you offer. "Did you try giving the rock-wall a push?""Well, no," Astra admits. "You can go ahead and try. Futile though it may be." Rumble-rumble- rumbleLow and behold, the rock-wall is pushed aside with ease. Astra smiles at you. "I knew you'd come in handy for other stuff besides just being monster bait. Oops." You don't think she meant to blurt out that last part there. Wow. After everything you two have been through. Monster bait. That hurts, doesn't it? You feel pretty low. Used, really. But then you think to yourself, didn't I welcome the company of Fred and this princess for that precise reason? She's MY monster bait, in all reality.You laugh. "Don't worry, princess, I know exactly what you mean," you comfort her with an evil twinkle in your eye."Good. I'm glad we have that understanding...er, AY CARAMBA! We're wasting valuable time! Fred's getting away! AY! AY! AY! AY! AY!"
