1.1 Chapter 2: At the House of Ranger Colby

Amazingly, Colby and Marcie both grabbed the door handle at the same time. "Ha! Another tie!" cried Colby. "Wow, you're almost as fast as me!" joked Marcie. "Oh shutup," laughed Colby as they walked into Colby's small, but comfy, house. "So, what's on your mind, Marc? Go ahead and tell Colby what's up," Colby said. "Well, I don't know," Marcie said as she sat in a nearby chair, "I've been having this sixth sense about meeting someone who would change me. Not like, totally completely change me, but like, someone who would love me and actually appreciate me. I mean, I've met a lot of other elf guys before, but they've all flopped. I need a good guy, ya know?" said Marcie. "Oh but Marcie, I appreciate you!" said Colby as she threw her arms up as if to hug her. "Haha, sorry Colby, not you…" "But I love you!" yelled Colby with a laugh. "Oh gosh," said Marcie, who couldn't help but laugh.

"Sssh, quiet!" said Colby as she suddenly grew silent. "Did you hear that?" said Colby as she looked out her small window. "Sssh, come on." "But wait! I don't have my bow and arrow!" said Marcie, who along with Colby was now whispering. "You can use mine, now come on!" said Colby. Marcie ran and grabbed Colby's bow along with some arrows. Colby slowly opened the door, peeked around both corners, then carefully stepped outside. Once she saw that it was safe, she motioned for Marcie to come on out. Marcie jumped out of the door, bow up, arrow locked. "Are you sure you heard something?" Marcie asked her. "Positive," replied Colby. Suddenly, two figures jumped out from behind a tree.
