Chapter 5 - Quite smeet!

"Finally!" After what had seemed like ages of endless wandering Gaz had found a small clearing, in which a small group of Irkens sat. Not wanting to waste anymore time to long, pointless stops she looked around for something that would work as a diguise. she found some icky green mud and sticks."Well, this sucks." She smeared the mud all over her exposed skin and jammed the sticks in her hair hoping they would be stupid enough to fall for the crappy, last-minute disguise and just let her pass. She walked into the open rather quickly and was tip-toeing as fast as she could. She had almost made it past the small clearing when *SNAP* she had stepped on an old dried twig. She winced. Three of the Irkens (the ones nearest the sound) turned towards the source of the noise with perked lekku. They kind of just stared at her for a moment taking in her awkward appearence. and then they burst out laughing. Beneath the green Gaz was bright red, making her look all the more ridiculus. "You didn't actually think you would fool us did you? You're covered in mud for Tallest sakes!" Tak said with her british accent. "You're filthy!" Zee said with a disgusted look on her face "And look at your clothes! They're covered with human filth!" Tenn added "I think she's pretty!" A small smeet chimed in. "Quite smeet!" Tak demanded as she pushed the small Irken behind her and out of sight. Gaz reminded herself why she was in this horid place and, although it took a great amount of self-restraint did not beat the crud out of the whipped the mud off of her face and hands and ran off down the path ahead- Cii the smeet following right behind her.
