"Terra, how far are we going?" I asked.
"Calm down, Tom. The forest gets a little thicker, and then the clearing is beyond that." Terra said.
"That's the last time I go on a 'little trip' into the forest." I said under my breath.
"What's that?" Terra asked.
"Oh, nothing…" I said. Wow, she has good hearing.
I was visiting my cousin, Terra, during the summer. She said that we were going into the woods to a clearing because she was "bored". When there's no reason to do something, that means you need to do something? Didn't think so…
"Hey, did you hear that?" Terra said.
"What? What did you hear?" I said, "Oh I get it. You're trying to…"
Then Terra ran away towards whatever she heard. "Hey, wait up!" I said.
As we ran through the forest, the brush and branches seemed to get more and more thick. Terra was right; the forest did get thicker as it went through! And just when I thought the brush couldn't get any thicker, I fell onto the soft turf of the 'clearing'. Terra was over next to a stump where some sparkling… sparkles were. And… a book? I walked over slowly to the stump. "What's wrong? Playing with dew?" I asked.
"No stupid. It's a… It's a girl…" She said.
"Sure. So what's the book for?" I asked.
"You're guess is as good as mine." Terra said, "Why not take a look?"
