Okay, thanks everybody for all the reviews. I really appreciate them! Here's chapter 3, because I feel that if I wait any longer to put it up, some of you are going to hunt me down with pitchforks and torches.
Lee disappeared into the forest. Ling stepped through the brush and joined the others, but saw that Lee wasn't among them.
Ling: Where…?
E Liu and Shuai point up, but don't bother looking.
Ling looks up, as do the other boys, to see Lee hopping around on the tree branches like a monkey!
Yao: Well, you don't see that everyday.
E Liu +Shuai: We do.
The group walks along the beaten forest path while Lee hops along the branches.
Suddenly, the branch beneath Lee breaks!
She falls.
The boys look up, but the girls just keep walking, unfazed.
Boys: Oh no!
Lee looks completely calm as she grabs another tree branch and continues on her merry way.
E Liu finally looks up.
E Liu: Lee! Get down before you scare the guys again!
Lee:(pouting) Aw, you're no fun.
She grabs a vine and slides down it to the ground.
Lee: Happy now?
The group continues to walk the path.
Shuai:(To boys) Oh yeah, one thing we forgot. We have to get our cart back from Old Man Wong.
Ling: Is he still alive? Yeesh, that guy stole my grandfather's sword like, a hundred years ago!
Yao: What idiot left the cart with Old Man Wong?
Lee blushes.
Lee:(Clears throat) That's not important, what IS important is that we have to get our cart back.
Yao: You left the cart with him, didn't you?
Lee: Yea.
Ling: Well, getting that cart back isn't gonna' be easy.
Yao: Yea, Old Man Wong never lets anything out of his sight.
E Liu: What little sight he has.
A pause.
Lee:(To E Liu) Wait! What'd you say?
E Liu: Oh, Old Man Wong has terrible eyesight; he can barely see a thing.
Lee strokes her chin in thought.
Shuai: Oh no.
Yao: What is it?
Shuai: That's her "I'm thinking of a plan" face.
Lee: Ah-HA!
E Liu: And that's her "I've got a plan" Ah-ha.
Ling: Why do I have a feeling that this isn't gonna' be good?
There, new strategy guys, shorter chapters! BWAHAHAHA!
Hope you liked it, the new one should be along by next week-end.
