"Put one foot infront of the other..." Brittany was mumbling to herself, as they got out of the car. Roland, David, Fern, and Robin threw the bags over their shoulders. "And soon you'll be walking 'cross the floo-o-o-or. Put one foot infront of the other, and soon you'll be walking out the-" she caught sight of Robin's glare, and squeeked the last word. "Door."

To be honest, nobody was in a really singy mood at the moment. But, Mandi knew from experience that singing calmed Brittany, so every once in a while, she'd break out into a slight song.

"I wanna fry up an eagle, just to see. I wanna fry up an eagle use the Kernel's recipe. It's still illegal... Their bald doodoodoodoodoo and yummy!"
"Then I saw daddy undress Santa Claus they quickly threw their clothes on our big chair"
"Does your chewing gum lose it's flavor on the bed post over night?"
"99 dead baboons sitting in my living room."

Mandi could tell that really, it was only her, David, and Fern that weren't getting annoyed with Brittany's constant singing. Actually, for her, it kind of helped keep her mind off of what they were going to do.

"Hey, B?" she asked.

"Hm?"

"C-Could you sing the one that Tyler always liked to listen to? You know, the one about the yam?"

Brittany looked over at her, eyebrows raised, yet nodded, and began to sing the song softly.

"...A yam I swear
But no one heard a word
Not, even the chair
Whose really my cousin, Claire."

"Where exactly are we going?" Brittany asked, once she finished the song, looking up at Fern, beside her. Mandi saw Robin glance at them, with pain in his eyes.

"To the guy who has Tyler's hideout." came a curt reply from the blonde in front. "At the top of the mountain."

They hadn't made much progress, and everyone was getting tired on account of the fact that they hadn't slept much the night before. This wasn't good.

"Could we rest for a while?" Mandi pleaded. "Some of us aren't as strong as you people of the Night are."

David raised an eyebrow back at her. He knelt down, holding out his arms, Gillian took the bags from him. "Hop on, if you're tired." he said.

Mandi smiled, slightly, and climbed up, onto his back. She knew that she could trust him, he had been the only one not shooting glares at Brittany while she was singing.

"You know, we should take a break, soon." Brittany chimed in, a few minutes later. "Not even you guys can keep it going forever without resting once in a while."

Roland shot a glare, back at her. "We'll rest at night."

"But it's noon!" Brittany whined. "And my feet are killing me!"

"I could carry you." Robin offered, holding out his arms.

Brittany glared, and shook her head. "Not on your life. I'm not inconviencing anyone, and that includes you, too, Fern." she turned her glare to the black haired boy who was bending down to pick her up.

Mandi knew why Robin had offered to carry the blonde. It was painfully obvious. He was upset that Tyler wasn't in his arms, and he had hoped that holding Brittany may help a bit. Though, she didn't dare say that he could carry her.

Fern sighed, and shook his head. "Why do you have to be so difficult?" he asked

Brittany smiled, impishly. "I wouldn't be a good soulmate if I wasn't."

"Hannah isn't."

"I'm not Hannah."

"Yeah, well, you're her cousin, so it's close enough."

Mandi shook her head into David's back, and felt him chuckle in response. Her grip on his neck tightened, and she could feel herself dozing off as the day went on. But she forced herself to stay awake, she didn't wanna be on a different schedule than the rest of the group.

And finally, the time came where even Robin admitted that it was time to sleep. They took refuge in a cave just a few miles above the base of the mountain.

"B?"

"Yeah...?" Brittany replied, laying her head down, on Fern's lap.

"Could you sing us to sleep?"

Everyone turned to look at the blonde, who nodded. She took Fern's hand in her own. "What do you want me to sing?"

"The Germany Song." Robin mumbled, surprising everyone-except Roland, that is. Robin hated the Germany song, but Tyler loved it, so it was panfully obvious why he wanted Brittany to sing it.

Brittany smiled, nodded, and began to softly sing, as Fern petted her hair, softly. The two of them stared into eachother's eyes, lovingly as she did so. Mandi noticed Robin look sharply away.

"Germany, Germany,
Germany is a really nice place
Even though I'm your prisinor
You give me food
And it doesn't suck like English food
Sausages and cheeses
Always taste so good
It'd be heaven for a dog
Yeah that's Germany.

"Tell me, how is it you Germans are so robust?
You're crushing me with your intimidation
My fragility causes me to openly weap out of fear
Your women terrify me
Is it the norm to drink a barrel of beer then smash it on somebody's head?
Please don't come to my place in large mobs
German tourists are scary.

"Even the girls who are from Germany are more rugged than I am
Yahoo."

Mandi felt herself drifting to sleep on the last note.
