“This…” you wheeze, “Is…” you groan, “Much easier…” You make a sound not unlike a walrus being kicked in the groin. “In the games!” You’d have thought that the Apple family would be much kinder to those that were trying to climb up the side of their house. Couldn’t they have built it a bit smaller? Granted, you had climbed to the second story before starting to ascend. That meant there was about five feet distance between you and the roof. It had been about ten minutes, and you’d gotten… nowhere.

You make a mental note that you really need to stop by the gym.

With a final grunt (a sound similar a water buffalo giving birth), you pull yourself up onto the roof. With great stealth you move across the shingles towards the opposite ledge and look over. Perfect! You’re just above Applejack! She’ll never see this coming!

Well, yeah, she could look up, but no sense in being a Debbie Downer.

But… What is it that she wasn’t going to see coming? Exactly how are you going to get the Element around her neck?

>Leap down. She’ll be too startled to react.
>You were ring-toss champion of grade school three-years running (Stupid Sallie McPhee, breaking your three year win streak…). Carefully toss the necklace down around her neck.
>Perhaps it's time for a little divine intervention?
