I'm still working on my revisions for this story. It's a long, grieving process, but, very worth it. If this is your first time reading this story, hope you enjoy this XD

"What the hell is this sign supposed to mean?" Athrun asked uneasily, holding the sign up with shaky hands.

"I'm not so sure, maybe it's not meant for now. Maybe there were construction workers here doing something while we were up in space. You never know I mean, come on, how unsafe can it be here?" Dearka asked in his usual carefree tone even though deep down he was scared, he didn't know what to think of this, but there was no use in getting everyone worried.

"I think that we should just find a way out of here as quickly as possible. Then we won't have to worry about what the hell that sign meant." Mu spoke out, giving them all some reassurance. He was right though, they should find a way out, even though they were about 3 hours away from civilization and none of their cars were in working condition.

They managed to head out and find a nice clearing in the woods and they gathered some wood and made a small campfire. Lucky for them it was spring and it was warm outside, otherwise they would've had a problem. Mu was sitting next to Murrue who had her head in his lap, she still hadn't regained consciousness, yet it wasn't something to be too worried about, she'd only passed out a mere 30 minutes before. Mu was stroking her hair watching her chest rise and fall, reassuring himself that she was still breathing.

Lacus was sitting next to Kira who had regained consciousness just before they left to find some place to stay momentarily. He had his head resting on Lacus's shoulder, the white bandage still wrapped around his head to keep the gash in his forehead from bleeding any further than it already had. Every so often Lacus or someone else would check to see if it needed to be changed, but so far the bleeding was kept at bay.

Athrun was leaning up against a log that he and Yzak had pulled over so that some of them could sit. He had his legs spread apart and Cagalli was sitting in the middle resting her head on his chest starting to fall asleep. Athrun had his arms around her waist and she had her hands on top of his. This was a rare calm moment between the two, one that not many get to witness. But, the moment was there and everyone that saw it had to admit that they were a very cute couple.

As for Dearka and Milly, Milly was playing her usual bit of hard to get as Dearka chased her around while they gathered more fire wood for their makeshift camping adventure. Any observer that didn't know any better would probably say that they were hunting each other down trying to see who could beat the other to death with their firewood first. But in reality they were just doing their usual obvious show of flirting, but neither would admit that, at least not Miriallia anyway. Dearka would come up behind Milly and tickle her causing her to drop the firewood on her foot and whip around to beat him only to be tickled again. Basically, they were making the best of the situation they were in.

And last but not least, Yzak. Well, Yzak's just, well…Yzak. He sat on a log hating the world for throwing him into the middle of the woods with these people. But deep down inside, he knew that if he had to pick a group of dysfunctional idiots to get lost in the woods with, it would've been this group of dysfunctional idiots that he'd have picked. So that's his sob story of the day. But, everyone still loves him no matter how much of a bitch he is sometimes.

"Does anyone have any idea on how the hell we're supposed to get out of this place without, one, a car, two, food and water, and three, it's getting dark out." Dearka spoke up as he threw another log onto the fire causing sparks to spit out everywhere on everyone.

"Ouch! Dearka, If you're gonna try and kill us can you at least do us all a favor and do it in a more subtle manner?!" Yzak was the first the cry out as everyone blew on the spots where the sparks landed.

Cagalli, who had almost been asleep, jumped up scared the living hell out of Athrun who in turn jumped up and knocked into Cagalli sending her toppling over Milly who paid everyone back by dropping all of her firewood on them.

"Thanks a lot Milly, it's appreciated." Athrun grunted form the bottom of the pile.

"No problem, I'm glad I could help!" Milly chanted happily as she was the one on top.

Cagalli, of course, was not too happy about the outcome, she was the one crushed in the middle.

"If you two idiots don't move right now, there's going to be a problem here." She mumbled sweetly, too sweet if you asked Mir and Athrun's opinions.

But of course the two just stared up or down at her with the most confused looks ever that almost cried out, 'huh?' so they got what they asked for.

"That's it, someone's goin' down!" Cagalli screamed as she shoved Milly off of her causing her to bounce as she skidded on the ground.

The next thing you know Athrun's getting beat senseless.

"Ouch…Cagalli…I…didn't…even…do…any…thing…Ouch!" Athrun choked out every word after each blow.

Cagalli finally stopped and took a deep breath. "I know, but you were the closest."

Athrun sighed as she got up, dusted herself off, and reached out a hand that he gladly took. Dearka also pulled Milly up off the ground as she too brushed the remnants of dirt off of herself muttering something about wasting so much money on a dress just to roll in the dirt with it. What ever it was she said, which no one is sure exactly, but, it made Dearka smirk.

"Well now that you got that out of you systems, where do we go from-" Mu was cut off when he heard a soft moan from below him. He looked down to see a pair of tawny eyes staring back up at him, blinking away sleep slowly.

"Good morning sunshine, did you sleep ok?" Mu chirped as Murrue lifted herself up with his support so that she could sit.

"If you call a concussion sleeping ok, then sure, I slept like an angel." Murrue retorted with humor of her own.

For some odd reason everything got deathly silent, barely anyone breathed, this was probably the first awkward moment they've had since they were back on the Archangel.

"Did you know every time there's an awkward silence a gay baby is born?" Of course Dearka had to ruin the moment of peace.

The group sat there even more awkwardly, looked up at Dearka and then broke out in uncontrollable laughter all at once. Even Kira couldn't detain his laughter as he and Lacus laughed together. Dearka and Milly slid to the ground and laughed their hearts out. Athrun and Cagalli held onto each other as they doubled over gasping for air between peels of laughter. Yzak almost fell off his cute little log onto his face. Mu slipped an arm around Murrue's bare shoulder so that he could support himself, and Murrue held onto her stomach as she too broke out in laughter.

Once everyone calmed down Athrun spoke up. "Wow, that was the first good laugh we've had together since the end of the war."

"Yeah, the first good laugh, but not the first stupid thing that came out of Dearka's mouth," Milly laughed, but soon became solemn in her thoughts.

This time, everyone got silent, and almost nothing could break them out of this reverie.

"During the war, it was hard to laugh, hard to smile, hard to even breathe, knowing that all of those people were dying out there." Cagalli spoke out without really thinking about what she was saying could do.

The comment worked its magic on everyone around the fire, but it impacted one of them the most for some reason. The last person you would've ever thought it would show on.

Murrue thought from the end to the beginning, starting with Mu's death, the thought that made her break down every time no matter where she was.

"EVADE!"

"Impossible, not enough time!"

"I won't- I won't let you hurt her!"

"Didn't I tell you I could make the impossible, possible?!"

"MU!"

"Our main goal here is to protect the Archangel, nothing more, nothing less, you got that?!"

"YES SIR!"

"Admiral Halberton!"

"MURRUE, LEAVE, HURRY!"

"MOM, NO!"

"MURRUE RUN!"

"DADDY!"

"COME HERE MURRUE WE WON"T HURT YOU WE PROMISE!"

"NO!"

"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET MURRUE!"

"Snap out of it, Murrue!" She felt herself being shaken, by whom, she wasn't sure, she just needed to run, to get up and run. And that's exactly what she did. Murrue stood up as quickly as possible and bolted into the woods.

"Murrue!" Mu called out to her, but to no avail, nothing was stopping her.

"We should follow her-

"No I'll go get her." Mu cut Dearka off while panicking at the same time.

'What the hell could've spooked her?' He asked himself as he ran off in the general direction that she ran in. How far could she possibly get in those shoes anyway?

Smeared black ink; your palms are sweaty and I'm barely listening, to last demands

Murrue ran through the brush, cutting up her legs and arms as she did so. She didn't feel it however; her mind was only centered on the pain that she had inflicted upon herself a few moments before. She didn't want to remember, oh what she would give to get rid of those memories, those dreams, they seemed like they would haunt her forever. And maybe they would.

I'm staring at the asphalt wondering, what's buried underneath where I am

Mu followed her trail swiftly; he could hear her distant footsteps, her sobs, her heavy breathing, almost as if his senses jumped up a thousand notches now that she wasn't by his side. He didn't know what wrong with her, he didn't know why she just twisted out of control all of the sudden. He could still feel her gyrating out of his grasp as she ran. He just needed to get to her before she did something rash. But what if he couldn't?

I'll wear my badge: a vinyl sticker with big block letters adhered to my chest

Murrue tore her way through the branches and brush, speeding up, running at speeds she never knew existed. She wanted out that badly though; badly enough that she would run from him, the one that was there for her when she needed him most, and yet she just kept running. She could feel her feet getting torn apart beneath her from her shoes and from the thorns and twigs that kept constantly ripping through her skin and lodging themselves into the bottom of her feet.

Tell your new friends: I am a visitor here, I am not permanent.

He lost her, no, he couldn't have; she was right in front of him just a second ago. Or maybe it was just his eyes playing tricks on him. It didn't matter, she was far more important to him then for his mind to be left wondering around like that. He needed to find her and he needed to find her now. But what if he didn't?

And the only thing keeping me dry is…

Murrue couldn't breathe, couldn't think, couldn't comprehend. Why was she running? What was she running from? And more importantly, where was she running to? All of the thoughts that were running through her head didn't matter anymore, she saw a clearing up ahead, and that's when she realized she was finished running, and that she had to stop to face the pain, and finish it all at the same time.

You seem so out of context in this gaudy apartment complex. A stranger with your door key, explaining that I'm just visiting

It was a lake reflecting the navy blue night sky, the stars, and the wisps of clouds. Everything seemed so calm. Murrue felt herself collapse on the shore, tears streaming down her face, pooling in the water causing it to ripple. She slowly reached out a hand and let her fingertips graze the water, watching the rings around it grow until they disappeared.

And I am finally seeing, why I'm the one worth leaving

He saw her, sitting by the shore; he could once gain here her sobs as she stared down at the water. He sighed, relived that he had found her; he found her. He slowed himself to a halt as he watched her from a distance. He didn't want to scare her, so he was trying to think of a way to approach her with out spooking her. He walked around her and decided to approach her from the side, making just enough noise to catch her attention. She looked up at him, tawny eyes shimmering with tears; it pulled his lips into a frown when he saw her.

D.C. sleeps alone tonight

"Murrue, are you ok?" He asked her while worriedly crouching down and putting two comforting hands on her warm cheeks. He instantly regretted asking such a stupid question.

"What I meant was what's wrong? What happened to you?"

She shook her head, as if telling him that she didn't know, because in reality, she didn't know what caused her to flee like that. They were the usual memories, the usual pain, but something was different this time. She had him to run from, not wanting to face him, not wanting to retell her past, and not wanting to know how he would react to hearing that she endured so much, and tried to handle it all on her own.

You seem so out of context, in this gaudy apartment complex. A stranger with your door key, explaining that I'm just visiting

"Mu, I'm sorry." She mumbled trying to keep her tears from falling.

"Sorry for what, Murrue, for running off like that? I'm not upset, how could I be? If something is bothering you that bad, how could I be mad at you for panicking? But you need to realize that we're all here for you, and that we care about you and want to help you."

"No, Mu, I'm sorry for not- for not telling you."

"Not telling me what?" he coaxed her gently allowing her to let it all out at her own pace.

"About- about, me; after Mendel you told me all about you and your family and about your past, but I didn't even have the decency to tell you about myself. You spilled everything out to me that day, and then when you- you almost d-died, I knew I would never be able to tell you anything anymore. I realize I was being to selfish back then, and you even risked your own life to save me, and all I could do was sit there and cry about it, like some silly little child crying over a broken toy. You're so good to me Mu, and there's never anything I can do in return. I can't even talk about my- "

"Stop it Murrue, you don't have to pay me back for any of those things, I did all of that because I wanted to. He paused and then added. "I did it because I love you."

And I am finally seeing, why I was the one worth leaving

Murrue buried her face in his chest upon hearing him say that. She knew what had to be done, as much as she hated to relive everything that's happened to her when she was a child, she knew he deserved to know more than anyone in the world. She silently pulled herself back together as she leaned out of his embrace and looked up at him.

"You'll probably want to sit down for this, Mu."

He did as she told as he sat right next to her, not touching, he gave her some space, he knew she would be more comfortable if she could tell her story without any distractions.

"When I was about 10 years old, both of my parents were fully active in the military. They were barely ever home, but on the rare occasions that they were, they were the most loving parents any child could ask for. Unfortunately, their "play no games" commander didn't think so. She was a fierce woman, and she never too no for an answer, I learned that the hard way. She tried to convince my parents to give me up, and put me up for adoption. She said that I was a distraction to their working abilities. Even if it wasn't mandatory for them to do this, she still asked it of them. Of course they wouldn't listen; they loved me and didn't want to see me go. So they argued, they told her that they refused. Their commander and her advisors eventually gave up for awhile until one afternoon my mother was home on a 2 day leave, things were going good where she was working on base, so she got breaks like these very once and a while. She came home to a message on the machine; I hadn't answered the phone because, at that age, I wasn't allowed to pick up the phone unless my mom or dad told me to be expecting a call from them. It was a threatening message from the top of her squadron. They told my parents that if they didn't send me off within the month they would lose their positions in the military. She deleted the message.

Over the weeks the messages got more and more degraded. The next message that we received was threatening us to lose our home. The one after that they were talking of coming and taking me themselves and restraining and locking my parents up in prison for not heeding to a direct order. To this day I don't understand how they thought they could force my parents to give up their only child. I don't know why they wanted to do it either, but, I'm hoping one day to find out. The one after that was the one that twisted our lives into a living hell. It was a warm April night when my entire family was home for once when it had happened. It was starting to get dark and we were all in my living room watching the news when there was a knock on the door. Me and my mother stood up to open it, but when we did, my mom threw me behind her and tried to slam the door shut, but the figure behind it kicked it open taking it off of it's hinges. My father came over to stand in front of my mother and myself. There were 5 men, each of them armed. They wanted to take me and then take my parents lives. It all happened in a whirlwind of bullets and blood. They succeeded in killing both of my parents and they also shot me 3 times, avoiding my vitals, just enough to knock me out from blood loss and pain, but not enough to kill me. They took me back to base with me and attempted to raise me there, it was hell.

I stayed there for about 6 years, getting beat and abused every day, the day I turned 16 I left and enlisted in the military. That was the last thing I wanted to do, but it was both of my parents last wishes, so I did it for them." The last part of Murrue's story was choked, her voice locked up inside of her chest, she turned to look at Mu, tawny eyes reflecting in his blue ones, but he didn't notice a thing, he was still trying to absorb everything that she had just thrown at him.

The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights, and send the autos swerving into the loneliest evening

"Mu?" Murrue questions the former commander as she waved a hand in front of his face.

When he looked at her, he, the Hawk of Endymion, had tears brimming in his own eyes. He looked down at her in disbelief as she looked up at him in the same manner. And all at once they embraced each other, now twice as relieved that they had met each other. They both stayed like that for a little while longer. Eventually Murrue shifted positions so that her back was against his chest, his strong arms around her waist, his face buried in her hair, chin resting on her shoulder, both of them looking at the stars. This was what she had been waiting for ever since that fateful day in April, and she would never ask anything more of him for as long as she lived.

And I am finally seeing, why I was the one worth leaving


"I wonder how those two made out." Milly wondered worriedly.

"I'm sure they're fine, Mu probably handled it and they're sitting there looking up at the beautiful stars together." Dearka answered romantically, trying to lighten the mood a little.

"Yeah I'm sure of that one Dearka. Murrue snaps and runs into the woods and then the outcome is them staring at the stars; right." Yzak snorted back laughing.

"Ya' never know, Yzak, they could be; but I guess you have a point, this is Dearka we're talking about here. His ideas usually…well, honestly they suck." Cagalli added on while rubbing her sore hip after she and Milly's collision while the whole group, including herself, laughed at her remark.

Suddenly Kira stopped laughing and asked. "Did you guys hear something?"

"No, did you?" Athrun asked his best friend suspiciously, assuming that Dearka farted or something.

"I thought I heard a branch crack out there somewhere." Kira answered back while looking all around trying to decipher the noise.

"Now that you mention it I thought I heard something as well." Lacus stuck up for him, but she honestly heard a noise similar to the one Kira was describing.

"What month is it guys?" Cagalli suddenly randomly asked.

"What kind of a question is that?" Yzak snapped back.

"A good one, now answer me somebody!" Cagalli was, once again, losing her patience.

"It's the middle of May, why?" Milly asked her before someone got hurt.

"Don't bears come out of hibernation sometime in April?" She asked the group.

"Do you think it's a bear?" Lacus asked nervously.

"Yeah, I'm sure." Milly answered sarcastically, not believing that their luck actually sucked that bad.

"It's probably just Mu and Murrue coming back. Mu's probably being a smart ass." Kira tried to reassure Lacus, but it didn't seem to help at all, seeing that he was contradicting himself. He was, after all, the one who brought it up, thinking it was something, rather than someone.

"Watch it pop out right next to Yzak." Dearka laughed.

"Yeah, right." Yzak sneered assuming that something like that would never happen to him just because he has an ego the size of Dearka's empty head and a god complex the size of China.

But of course being the lucky person he is, today's bad karma just didn't like him very much. A good sized cub came out of the bushes that he was currently standing next to. It walked right by them stopped at the fire, sniffed around a bit, and then went on its way. Of course, everyone standing there didn't take it lightly, they all froze on the spot and watched it as it walked back into the bushes across from Yzak. Once the bear was gone, there was movement and breaths taken around the fire. There was also Dearka practically rolling on the ground laughing at Yzak.

"You should've seen the look on your face!" He continued to laugh until he heard a growl.

He wasn't the only one, however, that heard it, and everyone froze where they were again, and tried to find out where it came from.

"Well guys, common sense, if there is a cub then the mother must be around here looking for it!" Milly exclaimed quietly but got her point across loud and clear.

The bear finally emerged from its hiding spot in the bushes and walked over to Dearka. First the bear sniffed him, then after awhile it got bored with sniffing his pants, it stood up on its back legs and started to sniff his shirt. It wasn't that big of a bear, it only towered about a foot above Dearka. Dearka, however, was not amused by this. If the truth be told, he was scared shitless, but he wouldn't tell. Allow me to rephrase that, he wouldn't have to tell because it was written all over his face that he was about to piss himself.


"I wonder how everyone is doing back at the campsite." Mu asked his lover as they held hands and made their way back to camp.

Murrue held Mu's hand in her left and carried her shoes with her right. She could still walk, although it did hurt her feet. They were, after all, bleeding and blistered from her run through the woods. Their trip back to camp could've been better how ever, speaking that Murrue had swerved around so many trees when she ran off she ended up turning in a completely different direction. Lucky for them, they found a trail.

Of course, since luck just loved them so much, they ran into Yzak's "little friend" on their way back. They could hear the bear grunting and snorting from down the trail. Mu thought fast and clamped a hand over Murrue's mouth and dove into the nearest cluster of bushes until the bear waddled by.

Murrue let out a sigh of relief into Mu's hand as her heart started beating again.

"What's wrong, scared?" Mu teased.

"That's the first time I ever saw a real bear." She answered back.

"Same here, it wasn't that bad was it?" Mu asked her as they stood up while Murrue linked arms with him and continued walking.

Things were pretty much back to normal until they heard a loud, high pitched, almost feminine scream come from a few yards away. They both looked at each other and started to run when Murrue crumbled to the ground in pain.

"Murrue, are you alright?"

"My feet, I can't run." She explained, but before she could breathe another word Mu swooped her up in his arms and carried her as he ran all the way back to their campsite.

The scene that had unfolded at their site wasn't exactly one that the duo was expecting. This is what they saw.

"Dearka, you're not supposed to scream, now it's mad!" They heard Milly cry as she jumped up and grabbed onto the nearest tree branch as she too watched the scene unfold right in front of Mu and Murrue.

"You Dumbass, why did you have to do that?! It would've left eventually!" Yzak cried out as he ran away from the now fuming bear that was going on a rampage.

"It's not my fault it was groping me with its nose in places I'd rather not be touched by a bear!" Dearka retorted as he also swung up into a tree.

"Cagalli, watch out!" Milly cried out to the blond as the bear came up behind her.

"AHHHHH!" Cagalli screamed as she hid behind Athrun who grabbed her and shoved her into the nearest tree and followed suit without hesitation.

"Kira!" Lacus squealed as she jumped on top of the log she was originally sitting on when the bear came charging at her.

Kira quickly jumped up into the tree that they were sitting by and then pulled Lacus up just before the bear plowed right through her.

Now it was just the bear and Yzak. Dearka took off the black jacket to his suit and threw it down a t Yzak.

"Yzak vs. big scary bear round one; it's not red, but it'll have to do." Dearka laughed since Yzak was the only one not in a tree, why, no one knew, but, he was the easiest person to pick on right now.

"What do you want me to do, run around yelling Toro, Toro?!"

"Yeah, actually that's it." Dearka answered as Milly smacked him in the head and reached out a hand for Yzak so he could get in the tree with them.

"Come Yzak, grab my hand, I'll pull you up!" Milly grabbed Yzak by the collar and pulled him up against the tree so that he would turn around and start climbing.

He, of course, lost Dearka's jacket in the process of getting pulled into a tree and climbing it. Once he was in the tree they watched the bear shred Dearka's jacket to bits.

"Hey, that was mine you jerk." Dearka whined as he watched his beloved jacket get ripped to shreds.

"Not anymore." Yzak pointed out.

Now the bear had no one to chase, so it was pretty pissed, It circled camp a few time before going over to the tree Yzak had just scrambled up and clawed at it a little.

"Hey, Yzak?" Milly started.

"What?" He answered back.

"I think it likes you."

Yzak almost fell out of his tree. Soon after, the bear retreated back into circling the campsite.

"I guess he doesn't like me anymore."

"Guess not." Milly watched as it walked around their campfire for about the millionth time that night.

"You all do know that bears can climb trees, right?" Mu questioned.

"Yeah, until he sees you." Dearka snapped back annoyed.

"Ahh!" They heard Milly cry out and they soon knew why.

The bear had its front paws up on their tree and was trying to climb up, that is, until it heard a very distracting noise. Mu had jumped out from behind his and Murrue's tree and was whistling trying to get it away from Dearka, Milly, and Yzak. His plan worked, unfortunately for him, he had to climb up his tree in record time.

"Go, go, go." He repeated to Murrue as he pushed her up as fast as possible.

He followed behind her but was a little too slow. The bear clawed at his leg and managed to get a few pretty deeps gashes causing him to cry out in pain as Murrue yelped out his name and pulled him up with her, her shoes discarded on the ground next to the bear. The bear turned around as if confused and started walking circles around their campsite.

"So what did we do to this thing again?" Cagalli questioned trying to start a light conversation between them all.

"We messed with her kid?" Dearka tried.

"That's exactly what happened. She can't find her cub so now she's going to take it out on us, assuming that we were the reason her cub disappeared." Mu explained while he positioned himself so that he could look at his injury.

Mu also looked up at Murrue and gave her one of his "I'll be fine" looks. If you didn't know Murrue you'd think the look she gave him was of relief, but she knew better than that.

"So now what do you we do? Sleep in these trees?" Athrun wasn't happy, actually he was down right pissed off that his luck could actually suck this bad in one goddamn night.

"Guess so, but why isn't the bear climbing any of our trees?" Kira countered Athrun's question with a more interesting topic.

"I guess it doesn't know which tree to climb, I mean, there's people in like every single tree around this campsite." Dearka answered while smiling.

"So what happens when it does pick a tree, assuming that it will sometime today?" Lacus sounded out.

"Then whoever's in the tree it decides to climb is screwed." Yzak answered, short and sweet.

The bear then retired from circling and moved over to Mu and Murrue's tree and started trying to climb theirs instead of just running laps around their fire.

"Why doesn't it just keep running around the fire instead of trying to kill us?" Murrue questioned as she grasped Mu's shirt.

Mu was about so say something about them climbing higher when he heard a grunt from behind him.

"Oh, for the love of humanity, not another bear." Dearka whined.

"Yeah, another bear, but maybe it will come to our advantage." Mu answered back.

"How?" The group asked him but they didn't have to wait to hear an answer, they saw for themselves what Mu meant.

The cub from before emerged off the trail and caught the mothers attention, the mother bear stopped clawing at Mu and Murrue's tree and made a beeline to cuddle with her baby. The two bears slowly made their way out of their campsite and back into the woods. Everyone looked at Mu for approval to get out of their trees, seeing that Mu knew the most about bears, somehow.

"Is it safe?" Athrun called out.

"Yeah, can't see her bothering us anymore tonight." Mu answered back as he slid out of tree trying not to put pressure on his right leg where the bear had scratched him.

He reached up and helped Murrue climb down from the tree as well. All of the other males did the same with their girls. Except for Yzak, Yzak just sucked at life and had no one to help down or anyone to catch him. So of course when he went to slide down from his tree his leg got stuck and he went down head first. He still effectively got himself out of the tree, but if could have been done with less pain.

"Dammit all to hell tree, burn in hell." He muttered loud enough so that the group could hear and they all started laughing at him.

"Yeah real funny, funny until one of yous falls out of a freaking tree." He complained not liking the whole make fun of Yzak deal.

They all sat down on a log or on the ground, and they sat in complete silence for about 5 minutes before they all started breaking out into uncontrollable fits of laughter at how pitiful their lives were. They laughed like that until another tragedy befell them, the ground started shaking lightly and then it grew into violent shaking that knocked them all off of their perches and caused them to land on top of each other in a mass of limbs.

"What the fuck?" Dearka managed.

"That's it, we're all officially boned." Yzak finished.

:breathes: This is hard. No time to chat, I have to continue editing and revising. See you all in the next chapter XD
