In the Amazon
It was a very humid day in the Amazon forest and everyone was feeling sticky and tired. The tour was only supposed to be four hours long but the guide tried to take a "shortcut" through a cluster of fruit trees. The unfortunate people in this group were Marik, Kaiba, Joey, Mokuba, and Serenity.
". . . and here on my left are açai berry trees full of the healthy, high-antioxidant fruit which . . ." explained the tour guide now that they were back on the trail and he knew what he was doing.
"Aww, man." groaned Joey. "I think I just skipped lunch."
"Why didn't you bring a snack?" asked Mokuba.
"I forgot. –but Marik didn't! —Hey, isn't that backpack of yours a little heavy? I can make it lighter if you gimme a few of your vanilla latté bars."
Kaiba turned to face Joey. "I knew you were a mutt, Wheeler, but isn't begging low even for you?"
"Did-you-just –"
"—would you like some of these?" Marik interrupted, holding a pile of snacks towards Joey.
"Huh? You have triple-chocolate chip ones too?!" he said, forgetting that a few seconds ago he wanted to push Kaiba off the nearest waterfall. "I won't starve! I WON'T STARVE!!!! IT'S A MIRACLE!!!! (he starts cramming food in his mouth making Serenity giggle) Thanks, Marik. Triple-chocolate chip bars are really delicious, like pizza, except sweeter and with more cream."
The guide stopped and waited for everyone to quiet down. He watched Joey finish off Marik's stash of snack bars before saying, "The stream in front of us is one of many found in this rainforest . . . When you cross it be careful of the smooth rocks and walk a little slower also." He stepped from one of the rocks to another to show them what he meant.
"This is pretty easy!" said Joey jumping to a rock with one foot.
"I'd like to see how long that will last." Kaiba spun around trying to give Joey a push to make him lose his balance but missed and ended up knocking over Marik instead.
Serenity gasped. "That thing behind him, what is it?!"
Marik looked to see what Serenity was talking about and saw that there was a strange, dark colored tunnel breaking his fall. Or maybe, making it longer.author's note: I know this chapter was short (please R&R though) but the next one is going to be longer and . . . there will be peeps.
