Chapter Eight: Water, Water Everywhere
Ashley Q. was so ever in a terrible mood as she trudged through the dark forest. HER like Lawson?! Boy, Ashley B. had been bonkers over Vince for so long, that she was starting the think that everyone else was in love with each other. She had been walking around for about ten minutes when suddenly she heard,
"What are you doin' out here, princess?"
"AAHHH!" Ashley Q. screamed, unaware that someone was even behind her. She turned around and glared at the figure. "Erwin Lawson, you big bully, you nearly scared me to death!"
"Oh, cry me a river," he told her. "If you didn't want to get scared, you should've stayed at camp. Now what the heck are you doin' out here?"
"Like, duh! We're all freezing to death up here in this stupid altitude, and you're so dang pokey, so I decided to come out here and drag you back!"
"Well, excuse me for havin' to come all the way out here to find decent firewood!"
"Decent firewood! How is wood decent? All wood is the same!"
"Will you shut up? I know what decent firewood looks like...and it looks decent."
"YOU ARE SO STUPID!!!"
"If you had an annoying girl yakking up a storm in your ears, you'd be pretty stupid too!"
"Are you trying to say something?" Ashley Q. asked with a growl.
"Maybe," he answered with a smart-aleck grin.
"That tears it!"
With that, she jumped the poor kid. Unfortuneately, she didn't realize that they were standing on the edge of a cliff, and they both went tumbling down its side into the river below...

"Man, where on earth are those two at?" Vince asked after finishing off his water bottle. He and Ashley B. had been sitting in front of the fire for about fifteen minutes.
"I don't know," Ashley B. replied. "All I know is that Ashley Q. went out to find Lawson, and they're not back yet."
"Oh, man," Vince moaned. "If SHE went after him, they might not be coming back."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, no offense, but your friend is pretty crabby," Vince told her. "In fact, she's probably done killed Lawson by now."
"Oh, please, she wouldn't do that."
"What makes you think that?"
"I think she likes him."
Vince stared at her for a moment, then started laughing. "You...you think...she likes him?! That's gotta be the funniest thing I've ever heard! She HATES him!"
"Says you. I've known Ashley Q. since kindergarten, and arguing with boys is just her way of flirting. Of course, in this case she might actually hate his guts, but she'll realize her feelings eventually."
"Man, I sure hope Bob hurries up with some help. You girls are turning weirder."

Ashley A. was freezing. After all, she was dressed for summer, in her capris, sandals, and lilac tank top. And this mountain weather was helping. Why did mountainous areas have to be cold in the summer anyway? Bob saw she was starting to shiver, so he pulled her close to his side to warm her up somewhat. Actually, he was starting to get a little chilly himself. He sure hoped they found a town soon.
"Don't worry," he told Ashley as he rubbed his hand over her arm. "Things can't get any worse."
He spoke too soon. Almost as soon as the words left his mouth, the sky burst open, and rain poured down. Ashley looked up at Bob.
"You were saying?"
"Uh...I was saying...we need to get out of the rain?" he answered with a grin. "Look there's a split inside that mountain side. We can camp out in it."
Ashley glanced over to where Bob was pointing to. The split looked kinda small actually...but big enough for some cuddling.
"Okay. Fine with me."
