Chapter Two - Strange Behaviour

'Yo! Robbie!" Robbie was took by surprise as he was walking down the hallway getting ready to go to math class. It was indeed Sydney. 'Oh, hey Syd!" Robbie said casually as if he were trying to impress her. Syd gave a casual wave, and slung her backpack on one shoulder about to start a conversation.

"Come with me." Syd had said that as if she were a tourist guiding people through the new college that had just opened a week ago. Her voice was very subtle and relaxed. Robbie liked that about her. "Come with you where, exactly?" Robbie put a little more emphasis on "where" as if she was going to take him to a new and exotic land.

"Shut up and follow me." Oh yeah, you definitely knew that no magical being was underneath that scrubby hoodie and baggy jeans. It was definitely Sydney. No questions asked. "You aren't planning to tie me to a tree and leave me there the whole day so a hold squad of rescue people wont have to come and find me? Right?" Robbie had one eyebrow rasied and looking at her cautiously as she grabbed his hand, leading him outside the door. "Seriously. Just come."

POV ROBBIE -

Okay. If there was a book that held the strangest things a teenager has ever done...Syd would be at the top of the list. Everday shes leading me to different experiences and places, I just hope one day I don't get persuaded into robbing a bank or stealing some geezers purse. Syd has been prone to those outrageous things. But where the hell are we going. Ouch! That wasn't pleasant. Stupid tree branches...where is the middle of the forest going to lead us too? 2:00!? School's over in 40 minutes..I need to be at RFR. This better not take my whole.....

"Close your eyes." Syd tugged Robbie's shirt and led him through a bit more shrubs and weeds. 'Wait...Open your eyes, we still have a little ways to go." Robbie opened his eyes slowly, they were now on a paved path heading towards, what else but another patch of trees.

"Syd, do you really think this is a good idea? Do you have any clue where you're going?" Robbie had a smirk on his face, this was definitely an adventure, he wouldn't have to worry about making up an adventure story for English, he had his right here. "Robbie. Don't be a wuss. Take chances for ONCE in your life....I'm pretty sure its not gonna kill you. Let's take a lunch break shall we?"

She plunged herself down on a rock and removed her backpack from her shoulder and soon the sound of a zipper being unzipped was able to be heard. She pulled out a couple of sandwhichs, and last but not least, her video camera. "Come on Rob. Home videos are best!"

Meanwhile, back at the RFR studio...

Lily glanced at her watch while sitting in her infamous rolly chair with the rusted wheels. "Where is he? He had his own personal record going! Never been late for two weeks straight..." She let out a sigh and murmurred the words "Record Breaker." Finally after the long uncomfortable silence, Travis spoke up, the time being 2:50.

"I think the only choice we have is to start the show without him. It's Robbie's personal fault if he's late and besides, he probably has his reason, like always. Ray sighed also while putting his headphones onto his ears, he would be opening today. "Im Pronto, and I'm wondering," Ray began, trying to sound his best at being Question Mark, "what would life be as a midget?"

Ray smiled to himself as well as Travis and Lily. 'Okay, Pronto, you have brought up a very interesting topic here." Travis commenced, "I think that we shouldn't see the shorter people, or dwarves, as different people-' Just then Ray interrupted. "Of course we can't see the shorter people, they're too short!" Ray began an unstoppable laugh, as he humoured himself in his own joke. Lily cracked a, "That was so retarded" laugh even, and Travis just shook his head, we will now be taking calls on your opinion of the shorter people."

"Alright lets head off!" Syd was holding her video cam in her left hand while keeping the tape on Robbie. They were going down a sloping hill, and Robbie was trying his best to not slip on the various rocks that camouflouged into the dirt path.

But unfortunately his balance could not be held, he slipped on a twig and was sent flying down the hill, into many different bushes and shrubs, picky ones, (yikes) soft ones and your regular old shrubs. Syd watched him fly with great entertainment, and that led them to their destination, as Syd ran to Robbie, "Are you alright?"
