American Dragon Season Three
Episode/Chapter 6: Huldra Horses
A day or so after the zombie incident, Jake, Trixie and Spud were sitting in Mrs. Jenkins' math class as Mrs. Jenkins was scribbling a problem onto the chalkboard. Jake and his friends didn't seem to be paying attention to this, as the three were currently flicking a paper football to each other. They were suddenly brought back to the sound of nails screeching against the board. With a yelp, all three looked up at their annoyed teacher.
"Mr. Long, perhaps you would like to tell us the answer to the question?"
"Um, sure!" Jake smiled cockily as he turned to look at the board. However, he didn't count on the fact that there were more than five math problems on the board. "Yo, which one again…?"
"Exactly…" Mrs. Jenkins turned and circled the question. "The answer that Mr. Long here was too occupied to pay attention to and answer is 5. The square root of 25 is 5…Now, you should all know this; you should have known this your 7th or 8th grade year. Mr. Long…"
"Yes, Mrs. Jenkins?" Jake looked back up from his paper.
"I will be seeing you in detention after school." Mrs. Jenkins then turned and scribbled another square root one on the board.
"Yo…" Trixie spoke. "Is it just me or is Mrs. Jenkins getting more and more mean?"
"Mrs. Carter…" Mrs. Jenkins' voice came. "Can you tell me the square root of 3,546,098?"
"Well, um…" Trixie started to pull off her best act, but she was saved as the door to the classroom opened and Principal Nosca strode in. He stopped in front of Mrs. Jenkins, much to her annoyance.
"Okay, you little twits…" Nosca pulled a bunch of papers out of his coat pockets and proceeded to distribute one to each desk.
"What do you think you're doing?" Mrs. Jenkins demanded to know.
"Well, as we all know…" Nosca finished passing the papers out and took his place in the center of the room once more. "The annual weekend field trip is this weekend. The school will be allowing one class to go to a remote wooded area for the weekend to camp, make smores and other stuff. I am proud to announce that this class has been the one chosen. So, get those permission slips signed…they need to be in by tomorrow." After speaking, Principal Nosca turned and prepared to walk out.
"Wait…" Mrs. Jenkins called out, making Nosca turn. "Did you give Jake Long one?"
"Yeah…Why?"
"He doesn't pay attention in my class." Mrs. Jenkins crossed her arms strictly. "I don't want him to go. In fact, I want him in school on both Saturday and Sunday doing math with me all day."
"SAY WHAT?!" Jake called out.
"You hear me!" Jenkins shot back as Nosca slowly approached her.
"Listen, Tammy…" he whispered into her ear. "I know you're taking your anger at me out him. But, there was just no way that our relationship could have gone on. First of all, I already have a girlfriend."
"You lie…" Jenkins scowled. "It doesn't matter anyway. He's not going."
Aw man!" Jake sighed.

BACK TO THE SHOW/STORY
After detention, Jake found himself running to the skate park. Fortunately, Trixie and Spud were still there; unfortunately, they were just leaving.
"Aw man!" Jake frowned. "Mrs. Jenkins has turned into such a mean-spirited teacher! Why does she have it out for me?"
"Oh Jakie…" Trixie put her arm around his shoulder and all three of them started to walk down the sidewalk. "I'm sure that this trip won't be that much fun. Remember that camping trip we had with you pops only around a year ago? You were miserable at first!"
"Yeah, but then Papa Long saved his cub…" Spud added.
"Jakie, I think you'll have more fun here." Trixie tried to assure him, just as they passed a house.
"Hey, isn't this where Brad lives?" Spud asked randomly.
"You, Spud—Wait!" Jake started, but stopped. "You're right! This is Brad's house! Tail of the dragon…"
The red tail suddenly appeared in a blue flash from Jake's rear and Jake lifted himself up to the window. Trixie frowned as Jake opened it. Looking for only a moment, Jake could see Brad's permission slip lying on the table.
"Arm of the dragon…" In another flash of blue, a red arm and claw appeared. After struggling to reach it for a moment, Jake snagged the piece of parchment and slipped out the window, just as Brad entered with a grin followed by his parents.
"I just need you to sign this…" Brad looked up, only to panic as he saw that the paper was not there. Throwing himself over the table, Bead looked high and low, throwing a bunch of other things onto the floor. Realizing that he would never find it, Brad looked up and said: "Aw man!"
Snickering, Jake reverted completely back to human form and put the paper onto the cement.
"Jakie that was not only a bad idea, but it was also downright wrong!" Trixie scorned.
"Do either of you have a pencil?" Jake asked, completely ignoring his friend.
"Jakie, are you even listening t--?" Trixie started, but she was cut off as Spud handed Jake a pencil. "Here ya go, buddy!" he said cheerfully.
LINE BREAK
That Saturday, Jake, Spud, Trixie, Kyle Wilkins, Stacey, Lacey, Tracey, Joshua, Frederick and Trisha were all lined up in front of the school bus where Cosca was standing. "So, you are the only ones who are coming?"
"Yep!" Trisha replied with a peppy chirp.
"Fine, let's go." Nosca said as he climbed onto the bus.
LINE BREAK
As they got closer to the wooded area, Jake watched with a grin as Spud and Trixie were currently engaged in an arm wrestling tournament. Although Spud gave it his all, Trixie slammed his hand onto the seat. As Trixie grinned in victory, Stacey appeared at Spud's seat.
"Oh, Spuddy…" she cooed. However, she soon regretted this decision as she saw everyone looking at her with weird looks. "I mean…ooh, what a freak!"
"Yeah, that's what I thought." Spud could hear Tracey say as Stacey slowly walked back over to the other girls and sat back down.
"Aw, Spud…" Jake replied as he saw his friend frown. "You don't have to put up with this. You don't have to settle for her two-faced personality."
"It's okay…" Spud looked up with a small smile. "When we agreed to spend time together, we agreed that she had a reputation to hold up." Spud then turned his head back around and Jake frowned as he saw his friend frown a little.
"Listen Spu…" Trixie tried to say, but she was cut off as a loud popping noise was heard and the bus jumped up a little. The bus also swerved, but came to a safe stop. Amidst all the panic of the students, the plump bus driver, Suzy stood up as Principal Cosca got up from his seat and approached her.
"Do you know what happened?" Nosca asked.
"I don't know…" Bus Driver Suzy bent over and picked up a tool box from under her seat. "But I'm going to find out. Stand aside…" Principal Nosca obliged and the bus driver opened the sliding doors and stepped out onto the grass. Bending down, Suzy stared out at the large hole in the front tire; what Bus Driver Suzy didn't notice was someone staring at her from the bushes. Sticking out from the bushes was a small blowpipe; however, Suzy didn't become suspicious until she saw a long and pointy dart lying next to the popped tire. Picking it up, Suzy turned, only to catch the blowpipe disappearing into the bushes.
"Hey!" Bus Driver Suzy shouted as she ran over to the bushes. She threw her hand into the bush and came out…with only a little bunny. Confused, Suzy looked down to see the blowpipe lying on the grass. Suzy picked it up just as the principal came out and rushed up to her.
"What's making you yell out like that?" Nosca asked, making Bus Driver Suzy hold out the stuff.
"I think someone wants to harm us." Suzy said plainly.
"Well, we don't want to freak out the kids." Nosca said. "In fact, I think we should let them out of the bus."
"Are you crazy?" Suzy shouted. "They are safest on that bus; especially if there is someone who wants to kill us!"
"Don't worry…" Nosca smiled as he dropped his pack to the ground and pulled out a folded up cane. After straightening it out with a click, Nosca held it up as if it were a sword and said: "I'm a master of cane-fu."

BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
Moments later, Jake, Spud, Trixie, Stacey, Joshua, Lacey, Trisha, Frederick, Tracey and Kyle were sitting around in a circle.
"So, what happened?" Spud asked.
"We…ran over something sharp." Bus Driver Suzy lied.
"That doesn't seem likely." Jake replied.
"SHUT UP, Long!" Nosca snapped. "You aren't even supposed to be here. You can bet that once we get back, you'll be in big trouble."
"Hey, don't be too hard on the kid…" a voice came. All the campers turned to see a beautiful young girl of around 20 who was wearing a red and silky dress, and black high heels. Her hair was blonde and it was all the way down to her legs. She had beautiful green eyes. "Hello, everyone…"
"Who are you?" Nosca asked.
"My name is Kate, but you can call me Katy." The woman said. "Anyway, I live in a nearby cave and I heard a popping noise. I followed the sound here and I saw this. I take it that you are surrounded here…"
"You are correct, miss." Nosca answered.
"Well, how about you, the bus driver and the boy with the spiky hair come down to my cave." Katy grinned seductively and winked. "I have a cell phone and you could call for help."
"I have a phone right here." Suzy pulled out a nice cell phone from her pocket. She held it, but suddenly another dart hit it. Suzy yelped in surprise as the phone shattered once it hit the ground. "Everyone gets back on the bus!" the driver shouted. The now terrified kids complied.
Once all the kids except Jake back on the bus, Katy looked sadly at the phone. "Come on!" she urged. "You have to come now! You'll be safe!"
LINE BREAK
Jake, Nosca and Suzy soon arrived at the cave where Katy lived. "Why don't you stay out and keep watch?" Katy asked Suzy.
"Okay…" Suzy scowled as the other two males followed the girl into the cave that she called home.
"Over here…" Katy smiled as she walked past a cauldron that appeared to be emitting steam. Jake stopped and stared at the cauldron, only to jump up in surprise as Principal Nosca and Katy appeared in front of him. "Here you go!" she said cheerfully.
"Um, thanks." Nosca reached up and grabbed the phone. He flipped the phone open and was about to start to dial it when both he and Jake heard a terrified yell. Both males whirled around as they saw that Bus Driver Suzy had disappeared. A moment later, however, the bag that she had been carrying dropped down onto the grass from above. "What the…?" Nosca asked in bewilderment.
"Yo, what just happened?" Jake asked. "Where did she go?"
"You know…" Katy looked sad. "You should probably go look for her. See, there are several wild animals out here that would probably eat poor innocent lost people. And you can't leave without your driver."
"I think we'll do just that." Nosca turned to face the beautiful woman and handed her back the phone, however, Katy shook her head.
"No, you need to take that with you." Katy urged. "You need to call the cops."
"Fine, but we will be back to return the phone to you." Nosca promised. "Come boy…" both males then turned and walked out of the cave. They turned and then disappeared into the forest.
"I wouldn't have it any other way…" Katy's serious expression turned into a mischievous and evil grin as she turned and faced her cauldron. With a pleased laugh, Katy ripped the fabric of the red dress to reveal a regular T-shirt and really tight cut off jean shorts. There was a small hole above her buttocks area which allowed a long fox tail to come out. Cooing, the beast bent over and picked up a baby in a bundle. Kissing it lightly on the forehead, she held it over the cauldron and dropped it in with a splash. "You serve my master's dark purpose now, little one." Satisfied, the beast turned and let out a yell: "SLAVE!"
After a moment, a large boulder was pushed away and the scowling face of Daisy appeared. The boulder appeared to be a door to a stairway to a place that no one would want to go to. Despite the call for her, Daisy started for the exit of the cave.
"Where do you think you're going?" Katy demanded.
"I'm done." Daisy turned and spat at the best.
"What in the underworld is that supposed to mean?"
"I've done everything you wanted me to do!" Daisy turned and started to walk over to the beast. "I did every single dark and evil deed you required me to do. I blew the tire like you asked of me. I even got that fat bus driver out of the way!"
"So?" Katy turned back to her cauldron.
"You said you would release me!" Daisy yelled. "You said I would be free from you and free to go! You promised!"
"And you promised me your service." Katy turned around. "When I found you curled up in a ball in my forest…in my territory, you were knocking on the underworld's door. I healed your wounds in return for your servitude. You are bound to me!"
"Not anymore…" Daisy turned in finality and prepared to leave.
"Don't make me destroy you!" Katy warned.
Daisy scoffed and continued to walk on; however, it appeared that she was no longer moving. Looking down at her feet, Daisy started to panic to see that her moving feet were failing to get her away from the monster. Whirling her head around, Daisy could see the grinning Katy pointing a glowing hand at her.
"You aren't going anywhere, my little friend…"
LINE BREAK
Moments later, Jake and Principal Nosca arrived back at the bus. After knocking against the window, both could see Joshua slowly get up off of his seat and pull the lever, opening the sliding doors.
As both stepped in, they were surrounded by interested students; all asking questions.
"Where is the bus driver?" Stacey panicked.
"Are we going to get out of here?" Tracey nearly had an emotional collapse.
"Are we going to die?" asked Frederick.
"Don't worry." Nosca pulled the cell phone out of his pocket. "I offer you the key to our survival out here!"
Flipping the phone open, Nosca started to dial the number to 911 as Jake approached Trixie and Spud. "You did well, buddy." Spud smiled at his magical friend.
"Thanks, guys." Jake smiled. "But I'm going to be in a lot of trouble when…"
"What the…?" Jake stopped in his tracks when he heard Nosca speak. All of the kids looked up to see their principal looking at the cell phone as it beeped; each beep made the phone flash red. "Is this normal for this type of phone?"
"Oh good!" Frederick was relieved. "That means that it's working!"
LINE BREAK
Seconds later, all of the kids, plus Nosca rushed out of the bus as a huge explosion destroyed the bus. All of the previous occupants all looked at the flaming remains.
"This is not good…" Frederick said to himself.
"YOU THINK?!" Everyone else shot back.
BLACKOUT; CUT TO COMMERCIAL
BACK TO THE SHOW/STORY
The sun soon faded out and was replaced with the eerie moon. All of the students were now forced to brave the cold night. All were surrounded by a campfire, while Cosca was standing behind them all, trying to defend them with his cane.
"This is the worst fieldtrip ever!" Stacey complained. Spud sat next to her and tried to put his arm over her shoulder, but she shot back: "Keep your arms off of me, you weirdo!"
"Jakie, what are we going to do?" Trixie asked her friend. "There is no way out of here. We're all going to die out here."
"Don't worry, Trix." Jake smiled reassuringly at his friend. "I'm sure that someone will find us…"
"Don't be too sure about that…" Joshua replied as he walked passed them.
"Have faith, Trix." Jake said. "I think I know the person who was behind this attack…"
"Who?"
"That lady that found us…" Jake exclaimed. "It all makes perfect sense! She is the one who gave Nosca the phone! The bus driver disappeared while we were down there! Don't you think that should be ringing bells?"
"Well, yeah…" Trixie answered.
"That's why I have to go find her…" Jake finished.
"You're crazy, Jake!" Trixie replied with a frantic tone in her voice. "If she is the one behind all of this, she'll slay your sorry dragon hide!"
"Then what would you have me do?"
"Tell Nosca about this!" Trixie begged. "He can handle this!"
"No way, Trix!" Jake stood up. "The bus driver is gone, and I have a feeling that she won't be coming back. The same would happen to Nosca. I'm the Am Drag, I can take her."
With a confident and cocky grin, Jake then walked off into the forest. Trixie frowned just as Nosca approached from behind; Trixie jumped up as Nosca put his hand on her shoulder.
"Where is he going?"
"Back to the cave!" Trixie exclaimed. "Jake doesn't get that that lady tried to kill us all!"
"Well, there are several ways I see that we can do that will solve this problem…" Nosca sat down beside the girl. "Number one: you and Spud go after him. Number two: you and Spud go after him…Need I continue?"
"But…"
"The way I see it…" Nosca got up. "You knew what Long did! You are accomplices to thievery! And, unless you want to take the punishment along with him…"
"Come on, Spud!"
"What?" Spud looked up from the fire just as Trixie rushed passed and grabbed his arm. The complaining boy was then dragged away and into the forest.
LINE BREAK
As Jake reached the cave, he peeked from inside his bushy hiding place. From what he could see, he noticed that the silky red dressed woman was standing beside the cauldron. Although Jake couldn't see what, he could tell that she was dumping a couple of things into it.
"Yo, what the…?" Jake started, but he went stiff like a board as he heard some twigs snapping. He finally noticed two high heeled shoes on both sides of his. Turning around, Jake looked up to see the angry looking Daisy.
"Yo, you're alive?"
"What's the matter, dragon?" she asked rhetorically. "You look like you've seen a ghost…"
"Well, actually I have…" Jake started, but he stopped speaking as Daisy bent down and grabbed him by the hair. "Get up!" she demanded as she forced Jake onto his feet.
LINE BREAK
Katy looked up from her cauldron as she sensed Daisy entering. Her victorious smile only widened as she saw that Jake was being held as her captive.
"Aw, well I must say that this certainly is a surprise…" Katy dropped the ladle she was using to stir whatever she appeared to be cooking and walked over to Jake. "The boy with the spiky green hair…What brings you back to my cave?"
"My name's Jake…" Jake spoke in a very hostile voice. "And I'm here because you tried to kill us."
"Kill you?!" Katy pulled back in shock, but she soon smiled. "Daisy, be a dear and release him. He's no harm to us."
Daisy growled, but reluctantly released Jake's hair. Before Jake could recover and straighten his hair, Katy grabbed him by the arm and led him over to the corner. "Yo, what are you…" before Jake could even ask, Katy pushed him against the wall and pressed her lips to his.
Jake's eyes widened, and he tried to do something. After everything he tried to do to make her stop failed, Jake rolled his eyes and allowed his red dragon form to appear. Swinging his claws down, he scratched Katy across the chest.
With a pained yelp, Katy stumbled away. Shocked, Katy pressed her hand to the wound and then held it back up. Her eyes then looked at the red dragon and she smiled.
"Wow, a dragon!" Katy walked back over to him. "I know that as a Huldra, I'm supposed to try to go after all males, but there must be something really special with you and me. You see dragon, I have a little secret of my own…"
With yet another pleased laugh, Katy once again ripped off the dress revealing her tail and her other clothes. "What are you?" Jake asked.
"I'm a Huldra, Jake." Katy smiled.
"What's that?" Jake asked, but then he shook his head. "It doesn't matter anyway! How can you just get in my face like that?"
"Are you saying that I shouldn't like you?" Katy looked hurt.
"No, you can't!" Jake started to approach her. "It's just wrong! You're like, 6 years older than me!"
"Oh, Jake…" Katy shook her head and let out a pathetic noise. "That was not a good idea to tell me what I can and can't do." Katy then put up her now glowing hand, which forced Jake against the cave wall. With an evil grin, Katy brought up another glowing hand, which sent a length of chains down. Before Jake could react, his clawed arms were forced up and together as the chains wrapped around and locked, binding Jake.
"Now what do you plan to do?" Jake asked, as he started to try to break the chains holding him, but to no avail. "They'll just find me! And then you'll have a lot to answer for!"
"The only person I answer to is my master." Katy laughed. "I'm sure that now that you're stuck here, you'll be thrilled to meet her." Katy then put her hands up and made them glow again. Suddenly, something began to rise; it was a figure of something and it was covered in blue goop. The blue figure then stepped out of the cauldron and onto the stone floor.
Katy grinned as her hands started to glow once more and the blue goop splattered against the wall, some hitting the chained Jake. Jake blinked away the goop from his eyes and he stared in shock as he saw his teacher, Mrs. Jenkins standing in front of him.
"Mrs. Jenkins?" Jake asked.
"Jake Long…" Mrs. Jenkins as she walked over to him. "Although I think it fitting that you're in this position, this is not what I wanted!"
"I know what you want, my master." Katy kneeled down onto one knee. "And I am certain that with this dragon in my possession, the one you want will come."
"He'd better!" Jenkins warned. "Or else you'll be sorry. Now, what about this girl…?"
"I was just leaving." Daisy turned.
"Wait!" Jenkins said. "You're not going anywhere. You sold your soul…"
Daisy clenched her fist and stifled a yell. Suddenly, a yell was heard and Trixie and Spud ran into the cave. "Jakie!" Trixie called as all of his captors turned around.
"Prepare to be defeated!" Spud called.
Both Katy and Mrs. Jenkins laughed. "What are you going to do?" Katy asked. "In case you can't tell, I have your friend. There is no defeating me!"
"We'll see…" Spud grinned as Daisy disappeared into the back of the cave. With a yell, Spud rushed up at both the teacher and the Huldra. However, Mrs. Jenkins appeared to melt into the ground, making Spud slip. Mrs. Jenkins reformed and grabbed Spud from behind as Katy's hands began to glow.
Meanwhile, Trixie snuck over to the bound Jake. "Don't worry, Jakie." She promised him as she pulled out a little pouch from her pocket. Opening it, Trixie pulled out some type of lock-picking tool and rammed it into the lock.
"You know…" Trixie added as the chains fell away and Jake was able to stand up freely. "I never thought that I would be coming to your rescue."
They both turned only to come face to face with the enraged Daisy. "What do you think you're doing?" she demanded as she brought herself into the best fighting position that she could muster with her skirt on. Jake rolled his eyes before he and Trixie made eye contact with each other and nodded.
With an excited look on her face, Trixie ran up and ended up jumping over Daisy, the ladder whirling around in surprise. This allowed Jake to wrap his tail around her waist, pinning her arms to his side as he picked her off her feet and turner her around so that he could see her angry and hateful eyes.
"Come on, Daisy…" Jake quietly begged, however, the girl only kicked him in the shin. Reeling back in pain, Jake ended up accidentally throwing Daisy away and out of the cave. "Oops…" Jake regretted doing that, but he was forced back into the battle as he saw the grinning Mrs. Jenkins holding Spud in a head lock while the monstrous Huldra approached him with glowing hands.
Thinking quickly, Jake picked up the chains and flew at both enemies. He slid his tail under Katy's feet, making the beat fly up into the air before coming back down to the ground with a thud.
With a growl, Mrs. Jenkins reduced herself into a puddle once more, freeing Spud, but starting slowly for the exit. Thinking quickly, Jake flew up and blew a blast of fire at the ruler of the underworld.
LINE BREAK
Moments later, the three friends had succeeded in chaining both demons back to back with the length of chains. Jake then reverted back to human form as he motioned for his friends to get out of the cave.
As the three exited the cave and stepped onto the grass, Mrs. Jenkins called out: "You haven't seen the last of me!" As she said this, she tugged at the chains, making an enraged Katy grunt before her scowl returned.
"No, we have…" Jake grinned as his dragon snout appeared. With a wink at his defeated enemies, he brought his head up and blew fire at the above boulders at the entrance. The boulders then fell down, caving the cave in. Even as the dust cleared and with the entire cave closed off, the three heroes could still hear the yelling and bickering of the two defeated villains.
"You think we should tell Principal Nosca that our math teacher is trapped in a cave?" Trixie asked.
"Nah!" was all Jake said. "Our only goal now is to find Daisy…"
As he said that, Daisy came down on top of him with a confident hunting yell.
"There she is…" Spud replied.
Both dragon and evil twin rolled around on the ground. At first, Daisy managed to pin down Jake, but Jake overcame this and rolled over, trapping Daisy.
"Come on, Daisy!" Jake begged out loud now. "You need to stop this tirade! Come with me! Your parents will be so happy to learn that you're actually alive! Come with me…"
This plea, however, was only met with a knee hit to a place that you would never, ever, under any circumstances want to be kneed. "Yeah, I'll end up going with those dragons in chains!" Daisy roared as she slammed her high heeled shoe into Jake's jaw.
Daisy then performed an impressive flip and stood up. Daisy then let out a yell as she was about to charge at the dazed boy, only to be cut off by a wooden cane slamming down over her skull with such force, that despite it being made of hard wood, it still splintered into many pieces.
Daisy swayed in her steps for a moment before she let out a childish and dazed giggle before she toppled face first onto the ground. Trixie and Spud looked in shock as a majestic and narcissistic looking Nosca stood.
Nosca then walked over and helped Jake onto his feet. "You actually did really well." He said. "However, as it turns out, Kyle Wilkins had a cell phone all along. I called the police, but all of this could have been prevented…"
"No, Mr. Nosca…" Jake smiled. "I think this happened for a reason." As if to prove his point, he looked down at Daisy, who was now unconscious; however, in her time out, she had an innocent smile on her face and was also now unconsciously sucking on her thumb.
LINE BREAK
As the cops arrived at the scene, everyone was all crowded together as Nosca talked to some of the officers and two other officers led a now conscious and handcuffed Daisy to the backseat of a cop car.
Meanwhile, Trixie and Spud stood beside Jake. Trixie watched as Jake and Spud were arguing about something. "Okay, I will!" Trixie heard Spud exclaim before he stalked off.
As soon as Spud was gone, Trixie went to her other friend. "Jakie, what did you tell him?"
"Oh, nothing…" Jake grinned.
LINE BREAK
Spud eventually found Stacey sitting by herself on a log. As soon as she saw Spud, she looked up with a somewhat happy look on her face. "Oh, hey Spuddy." She said. "Listen, I'm kind of sorry about having to keep you out like that, but I have a…"
"I know." Spud replied.
"So, why are you here?"
"Well, I kind of wanted to talk to you about that…" Spud sat down next to her. "Listen, maybe we should stop talking to each other…"
"Why?" Stacey asked.
"Because, you leave me out of everything because you care more about your reputation…"
"Spuddy…"
"Don't 'Spuddy' me." Spud said. "You need to make up your mind. Am I more important to you, or is your reputation?"
"Spuddy…"
"Until you decide, I won't be talking to you anymore." Spud said simply as he got up. Spud started to walk away, but Trixie grabbed his hand.
"Don't do this, Spud." She said pleadingly. "Besides, who else would like someone like you?" Stacey's eyes widened and she let go of Spud's hand to cover her mouth. That didn't come out like she meant…
Spud lowered his head, but then he came back up with a stern look. "Good-bye Stacey…" He then left a sad looking Stacey.
LINE BREAK
In just a few moments time, every student who was on the trip had gotten into a cop car, which then drove off, leaving the bad memory behind.
CUT TO BLACK; END OF EPISODE
A/N: Okay, so A Huldra is actually real, I didn't make it up. You can actually go to Wikipedia and type it up. Now, I made some things up to make the character a little more threatening or appropriate, mostly the glowing hands stuff. Now, about the Spud/Stacey break-up thing, I thought it would be a good subplot for the story; like about Stacey trying to see if she actually cares about Spud and if she will be willing to ruin her reputation for him. You want to find out? Then keep reading…
