A.N: Feel free to throw tomatoes at me for the huge late update. But I promise you I'll update every day to make up for lost time. So here, I'll go right ahead.
"Are you ready?"
"No!"
"Oh come on, Elizabeth, don't spoil the fun."
"I'm not. I'm just being cautious."
Anne, Elizabeth, and Jack had both found a large piece of tree. They found it half of it and it was hallowed out, leaving a sturdy outer layer. It was big enough to hold two small children, and Jack got an idea. Elizabeth and Anne were currently sitting in the hollow tree sled, Jack named it that way. Jack was standing right behind the tree sled, holding it to keep from going down the hill they were on. At the bottom was the dirt road that led down to the harvest grounds. Even though they were supposed to be down there to help prepare for the harvest, Jack decided to find a faster way down.
"Jack, are you sure this is safe?"
"Who knows, but it will sure be fun."
"Fun. Of course."
"So once we get down the hill, how do we turn on to the road?" Asked Anne.
"I have no clue."
"What?" the two girls screamed.
"Ready?" Jack said as he jumped on behind Anne who was sitting behind Elizabeth. "Here we go!"
"Jack." But It was too late and the weight of Jack tipped them over the edge. They screamed as they did a deep dive down the hill, towards the path. "Jack! What about-"
Jack cut his siter off and shouted, "Lean to the right!" No questions asked, they all leaned and the tree sled swerved on to the path. The path wasn't flat, it was just a dirt road on a hill. The sleds momentum didn't stop and it made its way down the path. Dust covered Jack's vision and he couldn't see anything. How was he going to steer them without seeing? Then he felt the tree sled move a little to the right of the path, "Oh no."
"Jack! Tree!" Anne called out.
"Lean!"
"Which way?" Elizabeth asked desperate.
"Any way!" They all most have leaned different ways because the sled flipped over and he felt himself being lifted in the air. He screamed as he began to fall. He braced for hard impact but instead he landed in a some gooey substance. Jack got up and took a look around to find himself in a big pool of mud. He heard spitting and a gasp and Jack turned. Thankfully Elizabeth and Anne also landed safely, but their faces showed disgust and anger. Mostly Elizabeth.
Jack treid to smile and he said, "Who wants to go down again?"
Elizabeth rolled her eyes and Anne just stared in shock. Elizabeth wiped the mud off her face and looked at Jack. She took in a huge breath and did the best smile she could, "I've got a better idea." She bent down, scooped a huge amount of mud in her hands, and aimed.
"No…No! No!" Jack said and dodged the big glob of mud. "Ha! You mi-" Jack was stopped when mud came flying to his face. Elizabeth turned to see Anne had been able to hit Jack. They smiled and at the same time pick up a scoop of mud. Jack wiped his face of mud and looked to see to evil smiles looking at him. "Two against one? That's not-" he was cut off by having to dodge to globs of mud. The girls laughed. "Ok, I see how it is." He picked up a huge amount of mud and yelled "Mud Fight!"
For the rest of the hour, until the parents found them, Jack ended up getting beat by to girls younger then him.
A.N: There will defenetly be more to the mud story. I promise you that. Next shot will finally answer what Deven'd brilliant plan is.
