| Chapter 16 - Roses "Okay.� This is my idea.� First we have to finish crossing this stupid field.� Then we have to go through the stupid woods.� And then, someone has to climb the stupid radio tower, and using Holli's laptop, call the message board. "Right."� said Holli.� "But who are we calling?" "I was thinking we should call TAS-man and Cait Sith,"� Roses answered.� "After that terrible mission when they failed to rescue me from Roseidous' hair, they deserve a chance to redeem themselves." "Oh, good idea. I think."� said Jaina.� "Are you sure they won't get lost in Canada again?" "No, but they're the only hope we have of getting out of Clyattville."� Roses answered truthfully. "Hey, um...where are Roseidous, Crayak, and Tyrael?"� Holli asked, looking around. "Oh, who cares where they went?"� Roses said.� "Who needs them?� They were just guys.� We'll get much more accomplished without them." "But we can't just leave them here.� It would be evil and fun, but who would we have to make fun of if we left them?"� Holli stated. "Oh, fine.� I guess that's true.� We'll go look for them."� Roses agreed reluctantly "Hey!� I know where they went!"� said a cheerful voice. "Who was that?"� asked Holli. "Oh!� It was the Pen."� Jaina said, holding it up. "They went to bury the Bunny."� the Pen announced. "Great.� We're never going to get out of this stupid field!� Roseidous, Tyrael and Crayak!� Get over here NOW!"� Roses yelled. "What was that you just screamed, my evil partner?"� Roseidous asked, coming up behind Roses. Roses turned around and slapped him. "Forget the Bunny!� Let's go!"� she said, noticing that Crayak was once again hovering overhead. "Wait!� Did you leave Tyrael?"� Holli asked. "No...he was right behind us."� Crayak said.� Roseidous nodded in agreement. Suddenly, from across the field, came Tyrael's voice. "HHEEEEEEELLLPPP!!!" Everyone turned to see him being chased by a rather large cow. "Well, he did say he didn't get along with cows."� Crayak pointed out. "SAVE HIM!� SAVE HIM!"� Holli shrieked. "Oh, don't worry, the cow is making him run back towards us anyway."� Roses said calmly. And indeed, the angry cow was running straight for the group of travelers and getting closer every second.� They all screamed and ran into the woods, except Roses, who stood perfectly still.� She watched, amused, as Tyrael flew by her and Roseidous pulled him into the tree where the others were sitting.� Then she turned around to face the cow, who had stopped running. "Thanks."� Roses said "Sure, "� the cow replied.� "Anything else you need?" "Nope.� Just had to get them into the woods.� We never would have made it on our own." "Oh.� Well, I was glad to help.� I haven't had that much fun in a long time." Roses laughed.� "Okay then.� I guess I'll see you later.� I have to go get them out of the tree." "Good luck!"� the cow called as Roses stepped into the woods. Roses didn't even look up.� "You can all come down now, it's safe." Jaina, Holli, Roseidous, and the Pen jumped to the ground and Crayak floated down. "How did you calm that cow down?"� Roseidous demanded. "It all comes from growing up on a dairy farm."� Roses answered. "Oh." "Yep." "Hey, Tyrael!� Time to get down!"� Jaina called.��������� "Nope.� Not gonna." "But the cow's gone now."� Crayak said.���������� "No." "Tyrael?� Do it for meeeeee?'" Holli said, once again batting her eyelashes.����� "Nope.� Not even for you." "Hey, Tyrael?� I have gingerbread men.� You have to come down to get one."� Roses said.������� "Oh, okay." Tyrael jumped down from the tree.� "Where are they?" "I lied."� Roses said.���������� "Oh." "Yep." So the travelers turned around and started walking down the path in the woods. << Chapter 15 �������������������������������������������������������������� Back to Home �������������������������������������������������� Chapter 17>> |
