Ehehe I'm so glad you guys enjoy this collection of one-shots. All of your reviews are so nice and uplifting seriously! I reread them sometimes and ugh you guys are awesome 33

13lue13erry: Haha oh my gosh I'm so sorry that you're confused! I haven't revealed what the numbers mean but I feel kinda bad 'cause it's not as serious as you all think them to be ;w; and asdfg but no you don't have to read the chapters in a certain order or anything.

"I think... I think we're lost."

Sam radiates smugness, and Tucker scowls at her. Sure. Okay. Fine. Maybe they should have gotten directions or a map, it's not his fault his PDA lost its signal halfway out. If anything she should blame the area for being out in the middle of freaking nowhere. The outdoors? Crummy. Danny? A traitor.

Said best friend shoots him an innocent look. Right. He hadn't been all for the map, or not getting a map. He'd just let them two battle it out. It's totally not unfortunate that Tucker won because it's totally not his fault that they're now lost in the woods with the sun disappearing in the distance.

"Well, Danny can just fly us back to civilization, right?"

Danny rubs his neck, glancing at Sam, and Tucker can already tell he'd made a promise.

Tucker palms his face, groaning. "Please tell me you didn't agree to no powers on this trip."

"I didn't agree to no powers on this trip," he returns cheekily.

Sam snorts, rolling her shoulders. "We'll be fine, c'mon, are you afraid of being eaten or something, Tucker?"

He sputters in indignation. Of course he's not. He's faced worse during his high schools years than what could be found in the forest. But. Y'know. Better safe than sorry, and all that jazz.

.

"Alright, Tucker... you go get firewood."

"Make Danny do it."

"Danny go get firewood."

"Make Tucker do it."

"I am so not getting into this with you two."

The techno-geek ends up stumbling out into the darkness anyway, swinging the light of his flashlight. Tucker knows Danny would have been better for the job, having better eyesight and all, but he's pretty sure all they wanted was a bit of time to make out without him around. Which, hey, he can totally understand when he's not being sent out into the dark to collect twigs.

.

Tucker crashes through the brush, falling heavily onto his front and flashlight as he tumbles into the makeshift campsite with a panicked yelp.

Danny and Sam jump apart like frightened cats, already muttering excuses, just as an unearthly howl splits the air.

They both freeze, the following silence interrupted only by quiet gasps from Tucker. And, then Danny's moving before Sam can even think, disappearing into the trees with a sharp burst of white light.

.

"Sam, car—!"

There's a screech of tires as the car swerves, and Tucker blacks out from the sudden and blistering pain that lights up his entire right side.

.

Sam's rubbing mud caked fingers into his face when he blinks awake, and remembers. Muddy embankment. Road. Car. Danny. Monster oh god oh god danny.

"Hey! You... all right?"

"What... ppend?"

"Tu... er.."

"It's... It's gonna eat... eat Danny, oh god," he croaks, sight fuzzy. His glasses are gone, where are his glasses, where are they, where are theywherearetheywherearethey—

"Sam... tipped-arrows... have some?"

"Anasazi... fire..."

Hiccuping gasps break through the panicked haze, and the techno-geek can feel light drops drip onto his face. A cough drags its way up his throat, and a roar fills his ears before a flash of green light his eyes.

"Holy shit!"
