The kitchen is tougher than the first storage room, which had been books and knicknacks and files. The fridge thankfully is empty and unplugged, so no surprises there, but Jake can’t believe how much stuff is in the cupboards. There are cobwebs and crusted-over pans from ages ago, and Emily gags at the smell of them when they dig them out. With gloves, they manage to dump all the unusable cookware into the trash, and finally get everything out of the pantry.

“Don’t eat that!” Jake says in horror, grabbing a box of Twinkies out of Tank’s hands.

Tank takes another bite out of the one he’s already unwrapped. “It’s still good.”

“You’re gonna get sick!” Jake flips the box over. “The expiration date on these was—oh. I guess they’re still good…When did these get here?”

“There’s so many preservatives in these, they’re fine. I mean, it probably doesn’t taste good. Only one way to test, though.” Emily holds her hands open.

Tank reaches into the box in Jake’s still-shocked hands and tosses one at Emily.

She bites into the cake and shrugs. “Not the best. Bet it would be great deep-fried. You wanna try?”

Jake shakes his head.

“Oh, come on.” Emily grins at him. “You scared?”

“No way!” Jake takes a Twinkie out of the box and unwraps it. It looks like a normal Twinkie, unnaturally yellow, and bits of cream on the wrapper. He takes a tentative bite.

“Tastes like a Twinkie,” he admits.

Tank brings the box with them back to the computer lab, where they get to work mining and gathering what they need for the Potions of Water Breathing. “I think we’re all set,” Tank says. “Got the sand, made the glass, plenty of glass bottles. You know what would be pretty? A greenhouse. I’ve made one before—I mean, you can’t really grow crops in it, but they’re real pretty with the glass walls.”

“Sounds nice, Tank,” Emily says. “So we have everything we need for the potions?”

“Nether wart,” Jake says.

The three of them exchange nervous looks.

Emily is the first one to say it, her mouth hardened into a tough line. “We need to go to the Nether.”

Jake’s phone beeps.
