"A little climbing?" Helena suggested. "What? You mean, like mountain climbing?" you asked. Helena shook her head, "Mm hm." You objected, "But it's cold out there! Don't you remember what happened a little while ago?" You had a point of course, but Helena had something else in mind, "Of course I do, sweetie. Which is why you're going to climb THIS" she said as she signalled to her body with her free hand.
You were a bit flustered and blushed a little and then said to her, "Uhh, seriously?" "Of course! After all, you are small enough to climb pretty much anything." Helena giggled.
There was another problem however...
"I've actually never climbed before, so how would this work?" you asked
"Well I would let you climb my hair, but it's not long enough like my sisters." Helena said as she waved her hair around. She then thought of something and said, "Wait here." as she placed you on the couch you both relaxed on, mostly her. She flew off somewhere and came back with what looks like a long string, but to you, it looks more like rope. She then spoke to you, "Here, I will tie this rope around my neck and you climb all the way to the top of my head." Looks like she was going to make this easy for you. She did just what she said and then gently grabbed you, flew towards the center of the room and placed you on the floor next to her feet.
You looked up at her and asked, "So just climb up the rope. That's it?" Helena looked down at you with sneaky grin for some reason and answered, "Sure, little one. That's it... maybe." she said the last part under her breath while snickering. You noticed it and was starting to worry. You didn't like the sound of her giggling.
Still, you didn't have a choice really. Better get to climbing. You walked to the rope, grabbed it and got to climbing. Good start so far. You were climbing up her plump legs. Helena felt you climbing her legs with your feet while still grabbing on to the rope and started giggling, shaking your world. You almost slipped but kept your grip while looking up at her with an irritated look while she looked down to you with a grin saying, "Sorry, you tickle!" You just kept climbing while telling yourself, "Don't look down." even though you almost did a few times.
Finally, you reached her coat, you remember it was nice, warm and cozy and as much as you wanted to rest on it again, you had to finish this game. You were almost there as you reached her chest. Just a little more and you'll reach her head in no time. Helena noticed you and said, "Well my little snowflake, looks like you're going to make it." "Yeah, I am." you said, realizing she's right. "This wasn't so bad."
"Uh oh, but what's this?" Helena said out of nowhere. "What's wha-WHOA!" you tried asking but suddenly there was shaking going on. Helena was shaking the rope and you while you screamed, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Helena shouted, "OH NO! IT'S AN EARTHQUAKE! AN AVALANCHE! HOLD ON TIGHT!!! WHEEE! as she started swinging you around while you screamed in horror.
Meanwhile, your mind was racing. How could Helena Handbasket go from a comforting and sweet lady to a rough and tumble one? Perhaps that was her personality, given she is the youngest. Your train of thought was interrupted as she continued swinging you around and also yo yo'd you as well while you screamed again.
Helena spoke up again, "WHEEE! Don't let go, little one!" You answered back, "Why on Earth would I let go?!" After a while, she finally stopped and you were dizzy. That was more scary than a roller coaster. You felt like you were about to vomit. Good thing you didn't eat today. You then snapped out of it and noticed something...
You were back to where you started! Right where you started climbing the rope. You must've been slipping and didn't even notice until now.
Helena looked down at you with a smirk, "Uh oh! Look where you are now!" she teased. You groaned at this. Now you had to start over. You climbed and climbed once again hoping she doesn't pull anymore shenanigans.
After another tiring climb, you made up to her chest again. Surprisingly, it was much easier a second time. Still, you were being cautious. Helena noticed you and said, Well, well, look who's back up here." "Yeah, yeah." you said while rolling your eyes. You now reached her neck which was the end of the line, or in this case, rope. You had to figure out how to get up the rest of the way. You remembered something, her hair! Since you can reach it now, you can use it to climb up the rest of the way. You reached up and grabbed it. It was soft and smelled like vanilla. Your favorite flavor. After some more climbing, you finally made it to her snow hat. You reached the top and took in the breathtaking view... even if it was just Helena's house. Speaking of which, the mountain nymph cheered at your success, "Yay! You did it! That wasn't so bad, was it?" while applauding at you. "Yeah, I guess." you answered.
Unknown to you, Helena grew another sneaky grin as she untied the rope from her neck. She then brought it towards you from behind and started quickly tying you up.
You grew nervous again and asked, "Uhh Helena? What are you doing???"
She then brought the rope attached to you to her face and said, "Don't worry, this is part the game." with that grin still in her face. You were confused, "Part of the game? I thought all I had to do was climb you like a mountain?" Helena answered, "Yes, but there's another thing I'd like you to do." "And that is...?" you asked as Helena giggled and held onto that grin of hers.
What was this lovely but also rowdy nymph up to???
