Katie Gardener sat on a rock, waiting for her boyfriend Travis Stoll to show up. She checked her watch. He was scheduled to arrive in precisely two minutes.
"Hey Katie!" Travis cried, sitting down next to her. He carried a picnic basket in his arms, complete with a red checkered picnic blanket.
Together they laid the blanket down on the ground, in the perfect little spot, right under the oak tree. Travis looked around nervously, as if he expected monsters to pop out at any given moment.
"Don't." Katie told him. "This is our special day. Just forget about the monsters for once, okay?"
"Whatever you say, Kay Kay." Travis said, smirking. He pulled out a jar of almonds from the picnic basket. "Want some?"
Katie nodded, carefully taking the lid off, until a giant snake popped out her.
"Travis Stoll!" she screamed, running backwards, and bumping into a tree. Travis ran over.
"You okay?" he asked, helping her up. "I'm sorry. I didn't know that was there. I think Connor put it there."
"I'm fine." Katie said, gritting her teeth as she tried to stand. "But when I get my hands on that brother of yours…."
"You sure?" Travis asked. "You don't sound fine."
"I am fine!" Katie yelled. "My wrist just hurts a little."
Travis raised an eyebrow. "Let me see."
"No." Katie said. "Since when are you a doctor?"
Travis rolled his eyes. "I took a first aid class. Now let me see your wrist, Katie Stoll."
She holds out her arm, and he inspects her elbow.
"My wrist." Katie says, sounding annoyed.
"Oh, yeah." he tells her, the tips of his ears reddening. "Sorry."
After about ten minutes, Travis is still looking at Katie's arm, trying to find the problem. "You know what," he finally says. "Let's just go to the infirmary."
