Okay so I might be lying when I say Carter will NEVER swear since he obviously will find some random occasion to do just that. So yeah, he just won't use the F one. Anywho I burnt my hand! And my foot…and pegged somebody with a firecracker…and put an artillery shell in upside-down. And let me say: KA_BOOM!-IE! I wasn't allowed to light much after that… Happy Fourth!

Carter looked carefully around, searching for any of the 'enforcers' and once seeing none shouted, "DAMMIT!" into his cloak. Then he promptly continued on his way to the command tent.

Across the camp ground, June's ear twitched. She shifted uneasily and figured Carter did something stupid.

Carter quietly entered the tent and sat down on a crate of arrows, watching as two certain old-ish men argued. Halt was currently saying that Will should be given the assignment. Crowley was saying Carter had to let June get at least half experienced in missions. Halt was now saying that Gilan could probably do it better than Carter. Across the campsite stealing coffee rations, Gilan sneezed causing a coffee fueled riot.

"Will!"

"The no named bastard!"

That's not nice…wait a minute…..how come he gets to swear and I don't! What the fladoodle! (Random word no specific meaning) Carter thought angrily.

"Will! No Gilan could do it!"

"No-name!"

"Will!" Halt shouted, throwing an empty box at Crowley.

"No-Named!" The man snapped, throwing a coffee mug at Halt.

"Will!" Halt replied, throwing the crate Carter was on.

"Him!" Crowley shouted, throwing Carter.

"How about you send Me, June, AND Will." Carter proposed.

"…Fine." They said.

"Well then, now that that's sorted out, what am I doing?" Carter asked, clapping his hands together.

"Investigating a sudden loss of troops in several fiefs to the West. It seems that they have been losing troops left and right, yet they're not fighting anyone, they just disappear. They have asked for a Ranger to come and look around for clues." Crowley said, shuffling through some papers.

"Great, just freaking great. I get the pain in my ass mission right after I get a pain in my ass apprentice." Carter mumbled.

"Did you say something?" Will whispered into his ear, coming out of now where.

"No sir, I said nothing, this person cannot speak because he knows nothing!" Carter immediately stated.

"Good boy." June replied, walking in.

"Well then. Now that you people know where to go, off you go." Halt waved his hand.

"Aye!" Carter smiled, walking out nad heading off to pack up.

" Sir, may I know how I did on the tests because I'm leaving early and will not be able to hear the regular announcement." June requested politely.

"Sure, one second." Crowley dove into the mound of paperwork on the desk and after five minutes, they brought up a small report. They quickly read it and said in union, "You did better than Gilan."

"Is that good or bad?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

"That's great." Will said.

"Okay then…good bye Halt and Crowley, have a nice day!" June said, smiling as she walked out the tent. Outside she shook her head and mumbled, "I HATE being polite." Before running off to join Carter in packing.

She got there just as Carter finished up and started putting his weapons back on. This consisted of a foldable spear, kun-chucks (spelling?), two daggers, a thin longsword, and regular Ranger equipment. Not including the bottle which has debatable uses.

"That's ridiculous." June mumbled, carefully organizing her saddlebags to hold more.

"No, it's just not practical for anyone to know how to properly wield all these weapons at my age. If they could then they'd have to be a child prodigy. And therefore, it's odd." Carter said, picking up a strange item.

It was a long pole that had two spikes on either end. About midway on it, was a circle grip. Carter slipped his hand into it and began twirling the deadly weapon around behind his back and over his head. Satisfied for the moment, and spun on his foot and threw the weapon at a tree. It spun twice before jamming in between two trees.

"That was a fail." June said, stomping on her pack so she could zip it up.

"No see," Carter said, running up and jumping onto the circle grip. Surprisingly it bent and shot him up into the tree. "This is actually used for scaling walls and climbing in a hurry. The spikes were added for fighting and can be removed." Carter said from the tree.

"Lovely, you have a new toy." June said distastefully.

"So? Toys are fun and their somebody that's more fun seven and a half feet away from me." Carter replied, sticking his head out the bottom of the tree.

"Well master maybe you should get out of the tree, talk to this person so we can be on our way." June said, annoyed.

"Oh, you wanted us to be on our way. I can help with that." Carter said, getting a mischievous grin.

Said man hopped nimbly out of the tree, disassembled the staff thing and packed it into his bag. He then smiled as he walked past June towards Smoke, his bag slung across one shoulder. Lightly he slapped his butt.

June blushed slightly before pulling out one of Carter's many spears and throwing it at him. "Die!" She yelled, suddenly zipping the bag nad chasing after him.

"Oh this is so worth dying for!" Carter snickered as he hopped up on Smoke and took off to the West.

~Ten minutes later~

"Pain….pain….pain…pain…I can't feel my head." Carter moaned as Will finished bandaging his wounded body.

"That's what you get you sexually harassing asshole." June muttered, still pissed.

"Oh so she gets to freaking swear but I don't What the Hel-meep!" Carter quickly stopped himself. Fearing another painful punishment from June.

"She isn't on rehabilitation programs like somebody." Will reminded him, smiling.

"That's right pervert."

"Oi! You said you wanted to get up and go and here we are!" Carter replied, jumping to his feet.

He was now covered from the heck down in white bandages from the many lacerations caused from a spear. Luckily, he did not slow down when he stopped, he just fell off. So because of this he wasn't wearing any type of shirt, just his cloak.

"Can't you put on a shirt you stripper?' June asked.

"Unless you want to see it instantly soaked in blood, then no. Besides, I like not wearing a shirt. It feels natural." Carter smirked.

"Well, I can also make that 'natural' blood of yours fall to the ground. That's natural too." She said, smiling deviously.

As of this moment, I'd rather face my father than June. Carter whimpered, putting his head down in defeat.

"Hey, come on guys, break it up, we need to get moving. And Carter, quit sexually harassing June, you should know she'll kill you. After that stunt you pulled at the last festival. You ended up having to stay in bed for a week. And then you got up and did it again a month later. That time your arm was broken." Will said, glaring at the now red Carter.

"But it was fun!" He protested, still blushing.

"Hey, ,master I didn't know such a perverted little monkey could blush." June smiled, already on Rose.

"Why you little…" He mumbled, immediately appearing on Smoke as June raced away from the pissed off man that was her master.

"That is definitely a freakin couple, or my name isn't Will Treaty." Mr. Treaty muttered.

"But wait, if it's a couple if Carter's older than twenty wouldn't it be some weird sexual law or something? Like a pedophile?" Mr. Golden Rabbit said, coming out from a hole in the ground.

"I guess, by Mr. Golden Rabbit!" Will smiled, getting back on Tug to chase after the two.

Carter eventually caught up with June at the shore to Seacliff. She smiled as she loaded the barge that would take them to the Castle, forcing Carter not to strangle her anytime soon. Will smiled at the two as Carter tapped his foot impatiently and June leaned against the railing.

Carter looked over the railing and across the shore and sighted a lone man on it with a small object in his hands. Carter leaned forward and recognized the shape a bow. He also realized that is was loaded at that there was flickering on the arrowhead.

Carters bow was immediately out and aiming at the man. Yet, before he could fire, the man shot. The arrow lobbed cleanly through the air, until it was knocked out of the sky by a black and green arrow belonging to a certain no named man. Another arrow immediately whizzed off and into the distance accompanied by a solid thwack, like an arrow hitting a boat.

Carter turned and was a lone flaming arrow flickering on deck. He watched as the flames leapt around the deck, spreading all along the in a matter of seconds. June screamed as the flames licked at her cloak and the horses shifted uneasily.

Will went for the horses kicking down the gate and ushering them into the water as Carter ran across the flaming deck and tackled June, sending them both overboard. Will sighed as shook his head as he lead the last horse, Smoke, into the water before diving in himself.

So, what do you think? "I think that I would have gone after the horses first because June stabbed me with a spear." Well to bad. What's written is written and what's done is done!
