Meanwhile, the Scoobies were venturing up a hill that would lead them deeper into the forest.
"There's the drainforest, guys!" said Buffy excitedly as she pushed Dawn's stroller over the top of the hill. "I bet we'll find Angel down there!"
"Now you're talking, Buffy" Fred grinned, as the Scoobies rushed down the hill.
"Wait!" cried Willow, she and Tara trailing a short distance behind.
"W-Wait for us!" Tara stuttered.
Buffy, leading the group, looked around in awe.
Buffy: This place is different than our own backyard!.
Willow and Tara clung to each other, nervous.
Willow & Tara: We hope we haven't gone too far...
Faith twirled through the trees.
Faith: We're somewhere's new,
And we haven't a clue! .
Fred happily snapped photos of everything, gasping when a butterfly changed colour before her eyes.
Fred: I just saw that butterfly turn blue!.
Anya: This is a strange and mysterious place...
Anya yelped as she saw a bug snapped up in the jaws of a carnivorous flower.
Xander chased a swarm of insects, oblivious to his best friend's distress.
Xander: With lots of yummy buggies or us to chase!.
Willow: We're walking and we don't know where...
Willow stumbled and got herself caught in a large spiderweb, which Tara quickly worked to free her from.
Scoobies: Ooh-wee,
It's a jungle out here!.
The group continued on, excited by their surroundings.
Faith: This place is really neat! .
Xander dug some worms from a patch of mud.
Xander: Lots of wormies for us to eat!.
Buffy: Lots of furry things everywhere you stare...
Buffy gave baby Dawn a few fuzzy caterpillars to play with.
Anya jumped around and scratched at her diaper, looking uncomfortable.
Anya: Feels like I got some in my underwear!.
A few monkeys swung by, making the Scoobies giggle.
Buffy: Monkey's swinging all around!.
Fred, Being the oldest, was beginning to see the more serious side of their situation.
Fred: I wonder if we're ever gonna get found...
Meanwhile, Faith had climbed a tree and was currently swinging on a vine.
"Faith, what are you doing?" cried Willow in panic. "Get down from there!"
Faith ignored her.
Faith: We're havin' lots of fun,
Hey,
Look over there!.
"Whoopee! Jungle!" Baby Dawn cooed.
Xander woke a snake that had been sleeping on a tree branch, causing it to gaze around hungrily at the Scoobies.
Xander: Great big snake hanging from a tree...
Tara cowered against Willow.
Tara: I h-hopes that it d-don't eat up m-me.
Fred pointed out a lizard to Anya, before snapping a picture of it.
Fred: Fat green lizard looking me in the eye...
The lizard snapped up a fly that flew past. Anya yelped, and Fred gulped.
I sure am glad that I'm not that fly!.
Anya tried to distract herself from the trauma by focusing on a flock of birds.
Anya: Prettyful birdies singing a song,
Tweet tweet!.
Willow had got her head caught in a flower, but Tara quickly pulled her free.
Willow: I hope we don't stay here for long...
Buffy: We've gots a job to do and we're heading up there!.
Buffy pointed at a slope.
Look sharp,
It's a jungle out here! .
Faith: We gots a job to do and we're heading up there!
Look sharp,
It's a jungle out here!.
Scoobies: Oo-wee,
It's a jungle out here!.
As the Scoobies continued on their journey through the 'drainforest', Xander gathered bugs. He grabbed a centipede from a tree branch and lifted it towards his mouth.
"Well, down the hatch.."
"Xander, no!" Anya shrieked.
"Sorry" said Xander, offering the centipede to his friend. "Did you want a bite?"
"No" said Anya. "I don't think we should eat bugs no more.."
"That's crazy talk, Anyanka" Xander frowned. "We've been raised on bugs!"
"I know it Alexander, but that was before I saw that poor fly get eated by that big mean ol' flower!" Anya snapped. "Now you let that buggy go right now!"
Xander sighed sadly, releasing the centipede back onto it's branch. His eyes filled with tears.
"If I knowed the last bug I eated, would be the last bug I eated.. I would've eated it slower!"
Meanwhile, at the head of the group, Buffy discovered a vital clue to their quest.
"Look guys, growed up feet prints!" she cried excitedly, pointing at a trail of footprints. Xander and Anya, forgetting their conflict over the centipede, rushed to take a closer look. "Angel musta made 'em!"
"Let's go!" yelled Faith eagerly.
The Scoobies rushed off along the trail.. Well, most of them.
Tara was leaning against a tree, waiting for Willow to finish going potty in the bushes. Neither of them noticed their friends leaving.
"You know, Tara, it's a lot easier going potty in the drainforest than at home" said Willow happily as she pulled up her pants, heading back to where her friend was standing. "You don't have to worry about getting any on the floor or nothin'.. Uh, where is everybody?"
"They're j-just over.." Tara pointed to where her friends had been a few moments before. "Uh-oh."
"Buffy?" called Willow.
"F-Faith?" called Tara.
There was no response.
"Wait for us!" The girls screamed in panic as they tried to rush after their friends, unfortunately heading in the wrong direction.
AN: Oh no, Willow and Tara got left behind! Will they find the others?
