Chapter Six - The Home Stretch
As the Yellow Submarine continued it's voyage to Pepperland, the voyage seems to be going smoothly. Suddenly, the Yellow Submarine encounters more technical difficulty just as they crossed into the next Sea which consisted of all sorts of strange colors and shapes populated by giant lifelike head statues.
Eda: Oh great! What now?! Can this piece of junk fly for two seconds without something flatlining?!
Luz: Maybe we should check it out.
Luz and the others exited the Yellow Submarine while Fred stays inside.
Luz: Got any ideas, Jeremy?
Jeremy: Repair, revive, revamp, renew. Ipse dixit, just turn the screw. Log sign, clog sign, big thingamabob.
Willow: What's he saying?
Amity: What's he doing?
Jeremy: Chewing gum will do the job. A turn of the screw, and all is and all is new.
Jeremy begins fiddling around with one of the Yellow Submarine's propellers. As he gets it starting, the Yellow Submarine begins taking off rapidly. Fred could only yell as the Yellow Submarine takes off.
Fred: I can't stop her. 'H' is for hurry, 'E' is for ergent, 'L' is for love me.....
Luz and the others could only watch as the Yellow Submarine flies off in the distance, leaving them all stranded in this new sea. Eda and the others glare at Jeremy.
Eda: Nice going, Boob!
Amity: We've lost the sub for good!
Gus: Or for bad. Or for worse.
Jeremy: I'm sorry about that.
Luz: I mean he did fix the motor.
As Luz says this, everyone looks around at their new surroundings. The colorful head statues offered no sense of direction.
Amity: Where....exactly are we?
Luz: It looks like the foothills.
Gus: The foothills of what?
Luz: The Foothills of the Headlands.
As Luz and the others begin moving through the Foothills of the Headlands, the sound of music could be heard. The entire sea became alive with music. Luz and Amity glance over to see a lady sparkling like diamonds in the sky. They could feel themselves leaving their bodies as they began dancing with Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds. Soon enough, Luz and Amity recovered from their trance as they each waved to Lucy as she disappeared in the sky.
Willow: What happened?
Luz: I....I don't know.
Amity: I remember....dancing....with Luz.....
Luz and Amity begin blushing visibly as they tried to process what had just happened.
Amity: Um....carry on! Carry on.
Luz: Certainly was carrying on.
Gus: I feel a draft.
Eda: We must be near the Sea of Holes. Don't you think we should ask somebody for directions?
As Eda says this, a group of heads show arrows, but the arrows point in circles. At this point, all they could do was walk. Amity looks at the ground to see dust covering the floor.
Amity: Gosh, look at all this dust? Where did it come from?
Jeremy scoops up the particles and observes it.
Jeremy: A chemical error and quite imprecise. This is a condiment...
Luz: You mean like....
Jeremy: A spice!
Luz: Like pepper....Pepperland! We must be getting closer to Pepperland!
King then blows on the pepper, spreading it to the group. This causes everyone to sneeze. The sneezing from the group caused the heads in front of them to huff and puff. They all soon sneezed on the group, sending Luz and the others flying back. By luck, they were all blasted into the Sea of Holes. As they entered the Sea of Holes, they all crashed through many holes, sending them all over the Sea of Holes. After a moment, Luz emerges from one of the holes.
Luz: Amity? Eda? King? Willow? Gus? Jeremy? Is anybody home? Hello?
Soon enough, everyone emerges from separate holes next to Luz. Jeremy finds himself stuck in a hole.
Gus: This is a....hole-y place.
Willow: How many do you think there are in all?
Jeremy: Enough to fill the Albert Hall!
Amity: Didn't old Fred mention something about the Sea of Holes just before the Sea of Green?
Luz: I think he did. Through one of them spots must be the Sea of Green. But which? Which one?
Luz and the others look around the Sea of Holes. There was no way to be certain which hole led them to the Sea of Green. Jeremy tries to free himself, but was unable to.
Jeremy: Thesis, antithesis, synthesis, causes of causal causation.
Eda: Well what do you know about holes?
Jeremy: There are simply no holes in my education!
Eda: You mean you haven't composed a whole book? Great. What shall we do?
Jeremy: Be empirical. Look.
King: The booby's making more and more sense....
At this point, everyone tried looking for the hole that would take them to the Sea of Green while Jeremy frees himself. As all this happened, a Blue Meanie sneaks around the Sea of Holes.
Jeremy: Hydrolate, verdant chrysodine. I think we're near the Sea of Green!
As Jeremy says this, the Blue Meanie pulls him down the hole and kidnaps him. Soon enough, Luz picks up a hole and plays with it.
Luz: Hey guys! I've got a hole in my pocket!
Amity: Hey! Where's Jeremy?
Willow: He was over there.
Gus: Or was he over there?
Eda: Guess he must've jumped ship.
Luz: He wouldn't do that. He's our friend. Booby, Jeremy, Hillary, where are you?!
As Luz looks for Jeremy, she steps on a seemingly random hole. When she steps on the hole, the entire Sea of Holes is tinted with green, freezing everyone in place. Luz and the others found themselves traversing through the Sea of Holes and into the Sea of Green. In an instant, Luz and the others traversed through the Sea of Green and into Pepperland. Through an unexpected turn of events, Luz and the others had completed their journey to Pepperland.
