The balloons popped when they were sent into the compactor. Amanda needed to find 10 keys to break the circuit. If she went into a paper world so she could get a new balloon. A 3DS appeared with a game card in it “Hmmmmm, let’s go in” Spike said. “Wait!” Amanda said, “ That’s a world of paper.” “ Should we go to H-o-l-e-y T-h-i-c-k-e-t” Amanda and Spike spoke and bounced up high in Strike Lake. The Thicket? Bowling Pins? Sticker Comet? The Bowling Ball sent Amanda and Spike to heaven. “000” Cranky Beet called. 41 minutes later, Amanda Norman and Spike Norman were saved. 27 minutes before death and the balloons were saved.
