Farkle wandered through the forest, using his nature textbook and compass as he did so. Since they had some free time before the first hike started, he decided to go and explore the trails while Riley and Maya went to look at the birds and leaves as Lucas and Zay to wander around the forest to take pictures for a contest Zay was planning to enter.

Suddenly, the compass arrows began to spin out of control and Farkle looked up nervously. It had been hours since he first left the lodge and the sky was now beginning to turn a shade of dark blue. Sighing, the genius looked around for anything that seemed familiar. After a few minutes, he gave up and accepted the fact he was lost.

'What the heck am I supposed to do?' He thought as he glanced around the area, confused and worried. Seeing the forest was covered with forty foot trees, he decided to do the only thing he could to find his way out, so without hesitation, he started to climb. It was better than just standing there and doing nothing.

The blue eyed genius started to climb up the forty foot tree and managed to find a branch that looked stable. Unfortunately, Farkle was wrong, because as soon as he stepped on the edge of the branch, he felt it snap and immediately started falling through the air. Luckily, on the way down, he was able to grab on to something. Too scared to look down and knowing there was nothing else he could do, he closed his eyes and did the only thing he could.

"Help!" He screamed.

Meanwhile, Lucas and Zay were headed back to the lodge, when former heard screaming and stopped in his tracks. "You hear that?" He asked his brown eyed friend, "Sounds like somebody's in trouble."

Zay shrugged. "Probably just a squirrel," he replied.

Lucas rolled his eyes. "That wasn't a squirrel!" He shouted, "Zay, someone's in trouble! We need to go help them."

"Do we have to?" The comedian whined, "We've been out here for hours!"

The Texan glared at his friend and motioned to his camera. "Come on, Dude, it won't even take that long. You can take pictures along the way so we can remember where we came from, alright?"

Zay sighed, slightly annoyed, but didn't argue. Instead, he followed the Texan through forest, snapping pictures as they went. Finally, they managed to find the location of the screaming and were surprised to find Farkle dangling from a tree branch three feet in the air, his eyes closed.

"What the—"

"Shh!" Zay elbowed his friend and clamped his mouth shut. "This could make a great film for the contest!"

"But shouldn't we tell him he's three feet in the air?" The green eyed brunette whispered, "We can't just watch him hang there like a sloth."

"Sure, we can!" Zay had then held up his camera and pressed a button, which made a green light go off and he immediately started filming the scene.

Lucas sighed and eventually gave up on persuading his friend. Besides, he had to admit, it was pretty funny to watch Farkle hang there, though he still didn't feel good about it.

"Help! Somebody, help! I'm too young to die!" The young genius shrieked, "I haven't even written my autobiography yet!"

Lucas had to grit his teeth to keep himself from laughing, while Zay tried to stifle his giggles.

Fifteen minutes later, Zay had gotten tired of holding the camera and passed it on to Lucas. He was just about to ask the comedian if they should end it, when Riley and Maya came and approached them, the former holding popcorn while the latter took a handful out of the bag.

"Hey guys," Riley greeted as she joined her two friends, "Why is Farkle dangling from a tree three feet in the air?"

"And why are you guys filming it?" The blonde asked, confused, as she popped the buttery kernels into her mouth.

"Hey, we've been filming this for fifteen minutes straight! We're not giving up now!" Zay whisper-shouted quietly.

"Oh, are you guys filming a movie?" The brunette asked.

"And with Farkle as the star? Have you even seen his acting?" Maya questioned, remembering that one time back in grade seven when Farkle crashed the play and was suspended of auditioning for any school shows for the rest of the year.

"You gotta admit though, he's improved a lot," Riley commented as she stared at her friend, watching him 'act'.

"Yep, the perfect actor." Zay agreed. When the girls weren't looking, the Texan took the chance to glare at his best friend, his eyes narrowed. Either Zay didn't notice this or he chose to totally ignore it.

After another fifteen minutes, Lucas grew tired of filming and passed the camera back to Zay. Figuring his video was now long enough for the contest, the comedian stopped filming and turned to his friend.

"Wanna head back?" He asked them.

"Dude, we can't just leave him here!" Lucas defended his other best friend.

"He'll notice he's only three feet up sooner or later."

"Zay!"

The brown eyed brunette groaned and glared at his friend. "Fine…" He had then turned to the star of his film, cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted, "Dude, you know you're only three feet up, right?!"

'Huh?' The genius had then opened his eyes and finally looked down at the ground. 'Well,' he thought to himself, 'This is humiliating.'

He had then glared at his friends as he noticed Zay was holding a camera while Riley was scooping a handful of kernels out of an almost-empty snack bag. "You guys brought popcorn for this?!" He yelled, surprised and slightly annoyed.

"And filmed for half an hour straight!" Zay shouted back, "Don't worry, dude! We got it all on tape!"

The genius groaned and had then let himself drop to the ground, landing face first on the grass at the end of the process. As he stood up, he brushed off his jeans and coughed, spitting out the grass he may have swallowed while landing.

"You okay?" Riley asked, concerned.

"Grass does not taste good," the blue eyed brunette replied, his voice a bit hoarse, "And other than the fact I was left hanging on to a tree branch and was screaming for half an hour straight—" Farkle had then coughed once more, "—so my voice is now incredibly sore, I'd say I'm perfectly fine, thank you very much."

"Sorry, Dude," Zay commented, though you could easily see he wasn't really all that apologetic, "But look on the bright side! You're gonna be a star!"

Farkle, Riley and Lucas had then all glared at their friend. The only reason Maya didn't join in was because she thought it was kinda funny to watch everybody get mad at Zay (plus, she kinda wanted to see the film he made too), so she instead tried to stifle her giggles.

"You know I'm...gonna get you back…for this, right?" Farkle said in between coughs.

Zay shrugged. "Eh, you're too weak to do it now, so I don't really care." Zay had then turned around and glanced behind him, the way they came, before turning back to his friends and shouting, "Come on! It's movie night at the lodge!"

The three friends groaned, as the blonde smiled at Zay's silliness, and followed their brown eyed friend back to the lodge.

Half an hour later, Cory was beginning to get worried about his five favourite students. It was now five thirty and everyone was supposed to be back half an hour ago. He was just about to ask Topanga and Josh to help look for them, when the lodge door swung open and in came the five students.

"What happened to you guys?" He asked, surprised, and slightly worried, as he glanced at each of them. Maya's hair was slightly messy and she had a small, fresh scar on her face, Zay was smiling and laughing while looking at his camera, Lucas looked angry at his friend and Riley was helping guide Farkle inside the lodge, who looked out of breath and had grass in his hair.

"I got attacked by a bird," the blonde announced as she held up the now-empty popcorn bag, "Stupid birds wanted my popcorn when there wasn't any left."

"I finished my film for the contest I'm going to enter." Zay replied.

"And got us lost on the way back here," Lucas added, glaring at his friend.

"Uh, okay…" The high school teacher had then turned to look at his daughter and the genius of his class. "And you two?" He asked, confused.

"I was almost left dangling on a tree—" Farkle started.

"What—"

"Three feet up."

"Why didn't you drop down?"

"Cause the super intelligent comedian here didn't tell me I was only three feet up until half an hour later!" Farkle shouted—though it came out more like a whisper to due his scratchy voice—as he glared at the cameraman.

"Zay?" Cory asked his student.

"Hey, I'm just trying to get my big break!" The brown eyed brunette shouted. He had then taken a look at the genius before glancing back at his teacher. "Speaking of which…Mr Matthews, would it be okay if we had a movie night tonight?" He questioned, hopefully.

"I don't see why not."

"No!" Farkle had then began coughing before glaring at Zay once again. "I am so getting you back for this," He muttered, quietly but angrily.

"Oh, I know you will," Zay replied carelessly as he set up the projector for his camera and pressed 'play'.

Done! How was it? I'm not too sure what my favourite part was, since I had a lot of fun while writing this, but it was probably when Zay finally told Farkle he was only three feet up and then he noticed they were filming him the entire time. XD

Who else liked the ending? Oh, and if anyone was confused, Maya got attacked by the bird when the five of them were coming back to the lodge and Zay ended up getting them lost (which wasn't seen).

And since I haven't really put Smackle into any of my one shots, I wanted to explain why. I don't usually add Smackle in because even though I ship Smarkle, I'm afraid I won't write her character very well. If you guys want, I could give Smackle more of a minor role, or I could write more Smarkle one shots (I even have a plot planned!), so I get more practice writing her character.

Anyway though, please tell me what you think in the reviews! And feel free to send in requests of whatever pairing you want, whether it's friendship or romance. I'm open to Rucas, Lucaya, Joshaya and etc. Send me requests and I'll try to write your prompt the best I can.
