"I'm half-tempted to go back home." Sheyla said and crossed her arms. She and the others stood in front of the DWMA's staircase, waiting to start the mission Sammy signed them up for.
"I'm surprised that you're still here." Sammy admitted, sitting herself between Black-Star and Lance on the steps.
"Like I can let you go off on your own." Sheyla stated. "You would do something stupid."
"She does stupid things anyways." JJ scoffed.
"It's not stupid if it's fun." Sammy responded and she and Black-Star high-fived while the boy cheered.
"Are you sure you two aren't related?" Kyra asked.
"Are you guys ready to go?" Soul asked as he finished packing his bag.
"What's with the bag?" Hannah asked.
"Our mission is to collect some samples." Maka explained. "We figured that you guys would want to get out of the city after...you know."
"Let's not talk about." Black-Star said and jumped to his feet. "Let's go!" He cheered. Sammy laughed, stood up and jumped on to Black-Star's back.
"For Narnia!" She shouted while punching a fist into the air. Black-Star shouted along with the girl as he took off.
"Do either of them know where they're going?" Haley asked.
"Probably not." Maka sighed. JJ jumped on Michelle's back and they took off after the two, both shouting loudly as well.
"Get back here!" Sheyla snapped as she ran after her friends.
"This isn't how we usually start missions." Tsubaki said before the rest of the teens started running as well.
Black-Star eventually stopped when both he and Sammy realized they didn't know where they were going and waited for the others to catch up. Sammy hopped off of the star and JJ soon got off of Michelle as well and the group walked the rest of the way to the destination. They followed Maka's directions until they were in the forest surrounding Death City and they were all staring down into a large hole in the ground.
"We have to go down there?" Kid asked.
"Simple mission, huh?" Sheyla asked Sammy with mockery.
"We weren't told about this." Soul said.
"How do we get down there?" Patty asked, going down on her knees to get a closer look.
"I could just use my skateboard to float down there." Kid offered.
"How deep do you think it is?" Sammy asked, going on her knees as well.
"I don't know." Black-Star said and joined the two girls. He raised an eyebrow before hacking and spitting into the hole. "Ten, maybe twelve feet."
"Wanna jump in?" Sammy asked with a smirk.
"You just read my mind." Black-Star chuckled.
"Samantha, Black-Star, get away from the hole." Kid ordered.
"I know they're idiots, but it's not like-" Haley started.
"Yahoo!" Black-Star cheered as he and Sammy jumped into the hole.
"Never mind."
"Sam!" Sheyla shouted and ran over to the hole.
Black-Star and Sammy landed on the ground and soon they were sliding down the tilted and smooth path. The two laughed and held up their hands as they went down the dirt slide. Black-Star straightened himself out and went down faster than Sammy. The girl didn't care at the moment as she closed her eyes and enjoyed the breeze. Black-Star let out a yelp when he saw that the slide suddenly cut off and he turned around and scraped his fingers against the dirt. He was able to slow himself down enough to stop and dangle off of the ledge. Black-Star heard Sammy's shout of shock and he reached up to catch the girl. Sammy was going too fast and when Black-Star grabbed her, he lost his grip on the ledge and both of the teens fell down.
"Lesson learned...no more jumping into random holes in the ground." Sammy grunted after she and Black-Star landed on the ground, she was laying on her stomach and the star was on his back
"It was fun while it lasted." Black-Star sighed and sat up. Sammy made a sound and Black-Star raised an eyebrow at the girl. "What the hell was that?"
"A dying whale nose." Sammy responded. Black-Star laughed at the girl's statement. He stopped when he heard something strange and he looked up.
"What the fuck!" The star cursed when a vine flew down and wrapped around his wrists, lifting him up into the air.
"I could have said worse." Sammy snapped, thinking that the boy was yelling about her comment and soon she had vines wrapping around her and picking her up as well. Both of the teens shouted as they flew up and were dangling in a mass of moving vines. "What is this!?" Sammy demanded.
"Do you think I know!?" Black-Star asked.
"Leg, leg, leg!" Sammy screeched and started laughing as she flailed her body. "It's touching my leg!"
"Would you calm down-" Black-Star let out yelp and flailed himself. "That was my ass!"
"That's probably the most action you've ever gotten." Sammy chuckled.
"Just cut us down already!"
"Aren't you enjoying your new boyfriend?"
"Sam!"
"Alright, alright." Sammy clenched her hand, turning it into a double-sided axe and cutting the vines that were wrapped around her wrist. "Hopefully this doesn't end like Tarzan." Sammy muttered as she started cutting through vines.
"Did you have to mention that?" Black-Star asked as he watched several of the vines above him being sliced.
"A little bi-" The rest of Sammy's word was cut off by a yell as she fell down and a second later Black-Star was following her.
"It shouldn't be to hard to find them." Kid said and the group stopped when they heard people yelling. The teens all jumped back in shock when Sammy and Black-Star suddenly fell in front of them, both of them still hanging in the air, upsidedown. Black-Star had one vine wrapped around his ankle and Sammy had one around her waist.
"Hi, Lance." Sammy greeted the boy she was right in front of.
"And this is why we don't let you do things alone." Sheyla sighed.
"Well...we found the samples." Maka said as she picked up several scraps of vines that were laying on the ground and put them in her bag.
"Could someone cut me down already?" Black-Star sighed. Sammy flipped herself over and cut the vine around her, landing on her feet.
"We could just leave him up there, the vines really like him." Sammy smirked and she started walking away.
"I like that idea." Kid chuckled and followed the girl.
"We can't just leave him..." Tsubaki watched the others start to leave as well. The girl sighed and went to help her meister down, letting out a yelp when she saw one of the vines move on their own.
