A few hours later, Katie found herself still trudging along behind Tidus.
"This is getting us nowhere," Katie thought. "I swear we've been going in circles the whole time."
Suddenly Tidus gave a shout. Katie looked fervently from side to side, hoping to see Tidus' camp. Instead she saw the same trees and the same shrubs.
"What is it?" Katie asked, clearly frustrated.
"I thought I heard voices up ahead," Tidus replied excitedly. "So keep quiet!"
Katie reluctantly shut her mouth and listened. "This better be good," she thought.
As she listened, Katie thought she heard the faint mumbling of voices up ahead.
"I hear -- !" Katie was quickly cut off by Tidus, who clamped a hand over her mouth.
"Quiet!" he whispered urgently. "I'm trying to listen!"
Fuming, Katie shoved Tidus away. "Listen you!" she roared. "I can hear somebody over there," Katie pointed. "And I can hear them quite CLEARLY, too."
Tidus' face went blank. "You - you can? But how?!" he whined.
Katie smacked her forehead. "Obviously you haven't cleaned out your ears recently."
With that, Katie picked up some of the bark and logs that she had dropped and marched off in the direction of the voices. She wasn't going to spend anymore time than she had to walking around.
"My feet hurt," Katie mumbled.
"So do mine," Tidus mumbled back. "You know, you should be careful. You don't know if it's my camp or not."
Katie gave Tidus an astonished look. "Why, that's the first intelligent thing you've said since I met you! I'm starting to think that maybe you really do care!"
Tidus suddenly tripped over thing air, almost losing all of his firewood again. Smirking, Katie stood by as Tidus collected the firewood and his wits yet again.
"Ok, let's get going. There's only one way to find out if the voices come from friends...or foes," Tidus said ominously. He glanced at Katie, then threw his hands in the air and yelled, "Dun dun dun!!!"
"Oh. My. Gosh!!!" Katie laughed. "You're such a dork!"
"Eh..." Tidus said while rubbing the back of his head.
"And I'm sure it comes naturally, doesn't it?" Katie said with a sly look.
Tidus winced. "You're so mean!"
Katie stopped dead in her tracks. "I am not mean! You take that back right now!"
"Well, you kinda are," Tidus said carefully. "But -- "
"Argh! Just start walking please!" Katie growled as she pushed Tidus ahead of her.
"Okay!" Tidus squeaked.
So they made their way towards the voices; Tidus leading and constantly keeping an eye out and Katie following, mumbling and grumbling.
Turning around, Tidus put a finger over his mouth and whispered, "Keep quiet!" He then crouched behind a large rasberry bush and peered through the leaves.
Katie leaned over and looked over Tidus' shoulder. "Well?"
"Ouch!" Tidus gasped. "I got pricked!"
Katie rolled her eyes. "What do you see?"
All of a sudden, Tidus leapt into the air and dashed into the camp, causing Katie to topple over backwards.
"I'm back everyone!" Tidus yelped. "And look! I brought a friend with me!"
Whispers trickled through the camp while Tidus stood there proudly, hands on his hips.
"I always knew he was crazy," Rikku muttered.
"And where is this...friend... of yours?" Lulu questioned.
"Maybe it's an imaginary friend!" Wakka exclaimed.
Tidus looked around him confusedly. "But...she was here just a minute ago, I swear! Katie? Katie!"
Auron "hmmpfed", and Tidus shot him a dirty look. "I know she's here, and she's NOT imaginary Wakka."
"Does Tidus have a giiirrrllll - friend?" Rikku giggled.
Tidus turned beet red. "No, it's not like that!" he stammered.
"I am not..." Katie huffed. "Tidus' girlfriend."
"There you are! See? See!? She's NOT imaginary!" Tidus exclaimed. "Ha!" He pointed at the rest of the campers. "I'm right for once, and you're wrong! Booya!"
Katie just stared, Lulu gave him the evil eye, Wakka scratched his head, Auron just chuckled, Rikku crossed her arms, and Kimahri just sat there, stirring the contents of a large boiling pot that was hanging over the fire.
Tidus stopped his victory dance and looked around. "H - Hello?"
Katie sniffed and carried her bark over to the fire. "Here. I brought you guys some firewood!"
"Thank you Katie!" Rikku grabbed her arm. "I feel so sorry for you, having to walk around for five ours with Tidus. Anyways, my name's Rikku, and you can come help me n Kimahri make dinner!"
"Uhh okay!" Katie agreed as she was dragged towards the large, furry, blue thing sitting by the fire.
