Bush was pacing back in forth, while Allison did the same.

"Oh gods, where are they?" She kept repeating. Breezy and Taylor never came back to the group, and to make things worse, Carson the Duck ate all the berries out of Reilly's pack.

"How much longer is this dare?" Misty asked, kicking a rock.

"I don't know, I hope it ends soon." Caelyn said, petting Carson. Meanwhile, Reilly drew a map in the dirt. She lost the other map, and was trying to make a new. Unfortunately, Carson the duck waddled in and destroyed it.

"NOOOOO! YOU RUINED IT!" Reilly yelled, pushing the duck away. Instantly, the duck got scared, and took off.

"Great job Reilly. WAIT CARSON, COME BACK!" Caelyn yelled, chasing the duck.

"What do we do?" Misty asked frantically.

"GET HIM OBVIOUSLY!" Caelyn yelled, running after the duck deeper into the woods. Misty quickly followed, and Bush walked over to Reilly.

"What do you want to do?" He asked, helping Reilly up.

"Uh, follow them I guess. Allison, come on!" Reilly yelled. Allison was staring at the creek, and started drying her tears.

"I can't. Taylor and Breezy are still out there. I have to find them!" Allison finally said. "Plus, how many people do you think you need to catch a duck?"

"Ok, good point. We'll help you look." Reilly replied, walking down to the creek. Bush quickly followed them. They looked for a while, and soon, Allison slumped down.

"It's hopeless. They are gone." Allison said, crying now.

"Shhh, we will find them, I'm sure." Reilly reassured her. Bush quietly walked down the creek and looked at his reflection. His hat was dirty, so was his face, and his goatee had weeds in it. He finally realized why Reilly didn't like him. He was hideous. He was lost ins thoughts when he heard a loud scream. He quickly turned too see Reilly and Allison attacking Mal across the creek. He quickly ran over to them, but Mal quickly sent a fire bolt towards him, and he blacked out.

After Bush went down the creek, it was silent till they heard splashing, next the they heard laughing, and the next thing they knew, Mal was standing across of the creek.

"You..where's Taylor? I know you did something to her!" Allison yelled, summoning her lance. Mal just giggled.

"I don't know what your'e talking about." Mal said, looking over at Bush. "Hmm I feel sorry for you guys. You have to travel with..that." Mal said, eyeballing Bush.

"His name, is Bush!" Reilly screamed, summoning her ram staff. Mal quickly sent a fire ball towards bush, and he fainted. Meanwhile, Allison tried to stab Mal, but there was a loud 'Crash'! And then, where Allison and Reilly once were, was now an owl and a snake.

Carson the Duck was very fast surprisingly. He ran so fast, even Misty was out of breathe. He kept running and soon they were out of the woods, and in the highway. Luckily no one was driving on that highway. It wasn't a surprise really. They were in the trashy part of town. Finally, Carson slowed down, and Caelyn swooped in and picked him up.

"Finally." Caelyn said, huffing. "You are really fast."

"QUACK!"

"Here lemme see him." Misty said, walking over and taking Carson from her hands. Instantly, she yelled ow, and let Carson go. "HE BIT ME!" She yelled. He instantly took off and chased a little girl into McDonald's.

"CARSON NO DON'T DO THAT!" Caelyn yelled, running into McDonald's, Misty following.

"MOMMMMMYYYY HELPPPP!" The little girl screamed, jumping into an old woman's arms. Caelyn quickly came in and grabbed Carson.

"STOP RUNNING!" She yelled, stuffing him into her pocket. She was mumbling to herself when she heard an "Ahem". She slowly turned to see a smiling woman behind the counter in a McDonald's uniform.

"Welcome to McDonald's how may I help you?" She asked.

"Oh uh..I guess I could take a number two-" Caelyn was interrupted by a loud "Quack!" And then she remembered Carson in her pocket.

"Um, are you okay ma'am?" The woman asked, no longer smiling.

"Yea, uh, where is your restroom?" Caelyn asked when she heard another "QUACK!"

"Right over there.." The woman said, pointing towards a large sign that said "Restrooms."

"Thanks." She quickly ran in there, and Misty followed.

"This stinks." Caelyn said, setting Carson down while Misty locked the door.

"Yea, tell me about it. I had to comfort the little girl he chased." Misty said, washing her hands. It was silent till there was a loud "QUACK!" And a splash. Everyone looked over to see Carson swimming in the toilet. They both busted out laughing, and strangely, clapping. They slowly turned around to see Mal leaning against the wall.

"What do you want?" Caelyn growled.

"I came to make an offer." Mal said, holding out her hand.

"Like I would make an offer with you." Caelyn said, slapping away her hand.

"Fine have it your'e way you rude little brat!" Mal hissed. She snapped her fingers, and Misty and Caelyn went "POOF" And in there spots was now a small red fox, and a guinea pig. She laughed hysterically and picked up the three animals. She instantly teleported to a large field and let the three animal go.

Bush felt pain in his head, and the rest of his body. When his vision finally returned, everyone was gone. He slowly rose to his feet and walked up the hill to their old camp. "ALLISON? REILLY? WHERE ARE YOU?" Bush yelled. Soon he heard a small "Who" and he turned around to see an owl sitting on the ground, and snake right beside it.

"Go away! You aren't who I'm looking for!" He yelled. The owl said "Who" again, and Bush picked up a rock. He was about to throw it when he noticed the freckle on it's beak. Allison had the same freckle on her nose. "Allison?" Bush asked, walking towards the owl. She nodded, and started flying. "Hey wait for me!" Bush said, looking down at the snake. Of course he could tell it was Reilly. Mostly because of it's eyes. He quickly picked Reilly up and put her in his backpack. Then, he chased after Allison. She flew quite far and started circling a field. Bush quickly ran in and looked around. It was a pretty, and in the middle was a fox, a guinea pig,and a duck. He finally realized the guinea pig was Caelyn, and the fox was Misty. He quickly picked them all up and put them in his back pack. When everyone was in, Allison flew it.

"WOOP TAKE THAT SCARY DRAGON LADY!" Bush yelled. Finally he heard clapping, and standing at the top of the hill, was Mal.

"Wow, I underestimated you satyr. Now I have one more test for you. If you solve this riddle, I'll give you an item that can reverse my curse. Do you accept satyr?" Mal asked.

"Sure! Hit me!" Bush said, confident.

"Alright here it is. From the dark realms constellation did I gain my birth, Secret children of Mother Earth, In armor's coat the protection I give. To lye beneath those who live. Now what am I?" Mal said in a weird voice almost un- human. "I'll give you some time satyr. Toodles!" And with that, Mal was gone. Bush sat down on the ground. He kept repeating the riddle in his head over and over again, occasionally looking up at the sky, or looking down at his friends, expecting them to help him. But they didn't. It was up to him to save his friends. No one could do it for him. He was stumped. He finally started to panic. 'Think Bush, think!' he kept saying. Finally, Mal reappeared.

"Times up satyr. What's your answer?" She asked, taping her foot. Bush looked down one last time and Allison met his gaze. He looked in her eyes, and the answer came to him.

"My answer..." Bush looked up at Mal. "Is dragon's treasure!" He yelled. Mal gasped, and fell back.

"How did you..know?" Mal asked, shocked.

"I'm not sure. But anyways, a deals a deal. Hand whatever it is that will heal them." Bush said.

"Fine, but I'm warning you, once you get this prize, the true beast will awaken, and you will be hurting a lot of people. Are you sure you want this?" Mal asked. Bush nodded. "Fine here satyr." Mal said, a bright golden piece of cloth now in her hand. She quickly threw it to Bush, and she left.

"Okay, let's hope this works." Bush said, putting the golden cloth over each animal one at a time. There was a bright light, and everyone returned to their regular state.

"Bush! You did it! You saved us!" Reilly yelled, hugging him.

"Yea thanks Bush, we owe you one." Everyone thanked Bush nd he was blushing from head to toe.

"Just one more person left." Bush said, holding up Carson the Duck. Before he could use the fleece, there was a loud piercing scream, and the ground shook. Everyone looked up at the sky, and saw a very large angry dragon. It was ten times bigger than Mal. Everyone stood speechless as the dragon came closer, and the only sound anyone heard, was the occasional "Quacks" from Carson the Duck.
