"I have no idea where we are," Stein had told the small group of students he had found while searching for a way out. He looked up from his map and stared around the trees that he could have sworn he passed by already.
"What do you MEAN you don't know where we are!?" Liz asked in fear. She held her arms around her stomach wanting it to stop growling, "If I have to eat another weird plant again I'm going to be sick!"
Ox sighed as he took out a water bottle he had brought with him, "We're running out of water as well, we need to go back to that creak to gather some more." Everyone was exhausted they couldn't walk anymore, but Stein insisted. "Shouldn't we wait in one spot, like an obvious spot where people would go to? Find an empty cave and start a fire," Ox suggested, but Stein ignored him and continued to walk. He held a small book and tried reading tracks, but he was also horrible at this. The only thing he was good at was what greens or mushrooms they can eat and what they cannot.
"We can stop here," Stein announced, Liz and Ox fell to their feet and out of breath.
"I want Kid and Patty right now, I wonder if they're alright," Liz sighed in worry. Stein had put some wood down and started a fire with his lighter, he hoped the smoke can signal the others to come to them.
"All we can do is wait." He told them as he leaned against a rock and closed his eyes.
"Soul, do you think this is the right way?" Patty asked the scythe as she walked along a log across some quick sand.
The young scythe was gripping onto it with his dear life, "I'm not sure I'm following you!" Soul was becoming agitated by Patty, it's not her fault entirely, but he just wanted to take a shower, see Maka and the others and sleep in a comfortable bed, "Who's idea was this anyways to go out camping!?"
Patty began giggling as she waited for Soul on the other side of the log, "Come on slow poke, hurry up!" She waved her hands in excitement.
"Why are you so happy!?" Soul sighed as he continued.
Kid had fell to his knees and by mistake dropped Maka, the shinigami was exhausted, sweat poured down his face and he gripped his chest trying to gasp for air. Maka grabbed a hold of Kid and poured some water on his face, "I'm sorry Kid, it's my fault," She frowned. Her foot was throbbing, but for her friend's sake she ignored the pain.
"I'm fine Maka, and don't blame yourself, it's not your fault." He smiled. The sun was down and the laughing moon showed above them. Cold wind blew through the forest and Maka curled up near Kid and shivered. The shinigami grabbed his bag and pulled out his black coat he wears when sometimes dressing up like his father. He then picked Maka up and set her on his lap and wrapped the cloak around her and him. "There, the warmth from our bodies will help us stay warm for the night."
The scythe meister blushed furiously as she placed her head on his chest and smiled to herself, "Thank you Kid, for everything." Both of them then immediately fell asleep after. The next morning arrived, and the birds had awoken Maka, she slowly opened her eyes and shifted her head to look at Kid who was still sleeping peacefully. His head leaned back and his eyes closed and mouth partially parted.
"Kid?" She lightly shook him. Maka then felt arms around her and he smiled as he stuffed his face in her arm.
"Morning Patty…" He then opened his eyes and blushed, "Oh, I'm sorry! I'm so used to waking up with Patty right next to me."
So he sleeping with his weapons huh? Maka thought to herself.
Kid then cleared his throat and stood up, leaving Maka on the ground, he then put the cloak back inside the bag and gave it to Maka to carry. "Ready?" He asked. Once he saw her nod, he picked her up and began traveling downwards towards a river to get some water.
"Do you smell that?" Maka asked him as she smelt burning.
"Yes, I do. Maybe others are around!" Forgetting the water they ran towards the smell of the smoke, and soon they actually saw the smoke and continued running towards them. "HEY!"
They smiled when they found others.
