Chapter 2- The Lake

Piers let go of a low-hanging branch and it swung back. Mia ducked just in time, but a twig caught some of her hair and jerked her back into the damp loam covering the forest floor. She quickly regained her composure as to not embarrass herself in front of her new husband and looked with dismay at her ruined garments.

"Awwww, shit! My clothes are out of business. And by the way…look out at what you're doing!" Mia exclaimed. "You trying to kill me or somethin'?"

A shaken Piers shook his head, trying to get the ringing to stop, but quickly said, "Sorry and no. But you do need to look out for what's trying to take your head off!" Piers said blandly.

The couple started on the bike path, then decided to go through the woods to save some time. With her torn and wet garments, Mia figured 'What the hell?'

The reemerged onto the bike path and quickly crossed because they heard one of their friends hurtling down the path. Mia motioned for Piers to stop and let them spy on their friend. It turned out to be Ivan.

"Uh-oh…" Mia said.

Ivan was the clumsiest adept alive…and him on a bike wasn't necessarily a good thing…especially if there's a sharp turn…

WHAM! SNAP! AAAARRRGGGHHH! BAM! CLANK! AAARRRGGGHHH!

By this time, Mia was having a hissy fit of laughter, trying not to laugh aloud. She vainly buried her face in Piers's chest, but it didn't work. Somehow…Ivan didn't hear her. Maybe it was because tree branches were stuck in his ears…

A torn, bedraggled Ivan stepped onto the path and collapsed…breathing heavily. Suddenly, a bright, shining object came hurtling towards Ivan from the sky…

"Aaaahhhh!"

WHAM! Just barely missed him.

"My bike…" They heard him mutter.

Tears were rolling down Mia's cheeks as she fought for control of her hysterical laughter. She quickly conjured up her little healing fairy and sent it on it's merry way to Ivan as she motioned Piers to run the other way…fast.

She collapsed about half a mile away and exploded in laughter. Even though it had lost some of it's original spark, it was still loud as hell…

Piers laid down on a log and hibernated while Mia slowly subsided her laughter.

"Come on!" Mia yelled when she stopped laughing. She kicked Piers, inevitably causing his fall.

WHUMP!

"Shit."

He didn't say a thing in order to not start an argument.

Mia marched on in front of Piers, suddenly coming to a complete halt.

"Oww! Don't just stop in front of some… holy cow!"

Before their eyes was a lake, at least they thought it was a lake. It would have to be at least five to six square miles, with the clearest waters you could possibly ever see.

"That's a big puddle!" Mia remarked.

"Not a puddle, Mia. A lake."

"I know that" she screeched. "I was just trying… Oh never mind!"

"Good."

SLAP!

Piers sat on a boulder, nursing his face and recording how to get to the lake in a log book. After recording the location, he wanted to draw a map, so Mia followed him as they walked around the lake, Piers making notations and drawing the perimeter of the lake.

Piers was so into his log book that he stumbled over what could be either a large rock or a small boulder. The book went up, Piers went down...straight into the water, that is, and the log book hit the giggling Mia on the head. The log book went up, Mia went down, and the log book hit the struggling Piers on the head, and went straight to the bottom of the lake.

"Shit."

The Mercury Adept crawled out of the water, shaking off like a dog.

"Oh come on, Piers! You're a Mercury Adept! You're supposed to like water. I should know!"

"We men have moods, too y'know. And now is not a water mood. The water took my hard two hour's work!"

"Oh cry me a river!" Mia said sarcastically.

"How 'bout a lake?"

"Shut up."

Echo: Well that sucked.

Shadow: Why do you insist on saying that?

Vine: Because it's true.

Shadow: -- Get him…

Flint: Muahahahaha! chases Vine around with a large piece of stone

Shadow: Review… watches entertainment
