Of Horse Rides, Dog Craps and Unexpected Meetings

"Gosh I just love the outdoors." Noah says sarcastically to himself.

"It's so freakin' charming isn't it." Noah stops walking and looks around.

"And veryfamiliar. Damn."

Yep, Noah was lost. He had run into a tree earlier when he wasn't looking and had been knocked unconscious. When he came to he saw that the group had left him behind and he was all alone. In the woods. Fantastic.

"Looks like I've gone in a circle. Great, Noah, just great." Noah says to himself. Then he sighs. "Sarcasm just doesn't feel the same when you don't have someone to hear it."

Noah walks a little further, still not quite paying attention. Squish. Noah stops and looks down.

"Uck, dog crap. You are such a genius Noah." Noah takes of his shoes and socks grumbling sarcastically to him self.

"Geez Noah can you be any dumber? Only an idiot would step in dog crap." Noah blinks. "And why am I talking to myself."

He shakes his head.

"You know talking to yourself is the first sign of madness." Noah freezes and turns.

"Who-Who's there?"

"Haha!" Izzy jumps down from a tree and lands on top of him. Noah screams and Izzy covers his mouth with her hand.

"Shush, quiet hombre. We don't want your girlish screams to attract any unwanted company."

Izzy sits up on Noah's chest and sniffs the air. She grins.
"All clear!" Izzy jumps off Noah's chest and picks him up.

"Okay first off, you're totally insane. Second, I do not have girlish screams. And third, thanks to you I have dog crap on my back." Noah groans.

"This is just perfect."

"Ooh! Ooh! Izzy knows what to do!" Izzy grabs Noah's shirt and rips it off.

Noah screams again.

"What the Hell?" He screams at her. Izzy takes off his pants too.

"I thought you wanted the dog turds off you. See Izzy helped." Izzy grins at him and laughs.

"You mean by completely exposing me to wild animals who just see me as a rack of ribs." Noah covers himself up.

"Don't worry Shirt-less One. Izzy will protect you. And besides your scrawny body wouldn't give a bear much filling would it?"

"Gee thanks." Noah says sarcastically.

"Your welcome." Izzy hops onto his back. "Giddy-up No-Muscles Kid. We got some bombs to lay."

"Since when am I your accomplice and your horse?" Noah asks.

"Since you stepped in the Dog Crap of Eternity oh One Without a Manly
Physique."

"The name's Noah and Dog Crap of Eternity?"

"Nice to meet you Noah of the Stick Arms. My name's Escope. But you can call me Izzy. Except when I blow stuff up. Then I am Senorita Explosivo! Boom-Boom!"

"Okay Senorita Crazy, get off my back now or I'll-"

"Shh, quiet Noah No-Abs. Izzy hears something." Izzy jumps off Noah's back and presses her ear to the ground.

As she does this Noah quietly starts to back away. Izzy grins.

"Intruders, we gonna have some fun tonight."

At that moment Duncan and Courtney run into view.

"Izzy you are coming with us!" Courtney yells at the crazy girl.

Duncan snorts. "Dude what happened to your clothes?" He asks Noah who tries to cover himself up again.

Izzy grabs to handfuls from the mound of dog crap and holds them up.

"Oh Dog Crap of Eternity, protect your chosen ones." She chucks the dog crap and Courtney and Duncan. They both duck in time and the dog crap splatters against a tree.

Izzy laughs and picks Noah up and sprints further into the forest.

"HELP ME! HELP ME!" He screams girlishly to them.

"She's not getting away this time." Duncan says starting to run after her. And then.

BOOM. Duncan triggers and bomb and the force of the explosion causes him to fly back into Courtney.

"Get off me!" She yells pushing him off. She sits up and sees that part of the forest had become a waste-land. With no Izzy or Noah in sight.

"Great, she's kidnapped another person." Courtney says as she and Duncan stand up.

"And Gwen's still being held captive by that crazy guy." Duncan groans.

Courtney looks at him. He was really taking this hard. The thing was, she didn't exactly like the Juvie boy's sudden interest in the missing Goth girl.

She even wondered if he would react this way if she went missing.

"C'mon Duncan. The sooner we find Izzy the sooner we get Gwen back." Courtney says to him.

"Hey! Hey!" Duncan and Courtney turns and Courtney blushes a bit. A very handsome Latino man runs toward the pair of them and stops panting. He looks very distressed.

"You've got to help me." He says to them. "Heather, the love of my life, she's been trapped in a cave!"
