From going to a zoo now Cody accompanies Dawn into a forest that wasn't so far from the town to say the least. The forest looked beautiful today with the sky being clouded that fortunately it wouldn't rain, not yet perhaps, as the place had a tranquil essence with it's serene wind blowing so lightly complimented with the singing of birds and the landscape of natural beauty that makes green look better than anything else. The two walked as Dawn felt a joy looking at the beautiful forest and felt like home, Cody seems to be doing well, sure the forest may not offer anything related to electronic devices, games or anything technological but did it truly matter now? not this time Cody would think, after all he is walking alongside with someone nice and pretty, however it is not their first date or it isn't considered a date since they barely just met but this wouldn't stop Cody from thinking on what he can do to impress Dawn, though nothing came to his mind other than talking in order to know each other.
"Never thought to be back into somewhere natural since the show, this time it feels nice" Cody said.
"Of course it does" Dawn replied. "Say, I still could feel that somewhere in your aura feels a little frightened about the forest, you don't have to tell me about it's just that I am concerned really"
"It's... Um" Cody was worried while scratching the back on his head, if he told Dawn about this that she may not like him, but despite that she can read auras and not minds it didn't stopped her from wondering. "Well the truth is that I had experienced some awful moments with bears, especially when one mauled me and I was injured badly"
"Oh my, so that's why you were worried about going to any forest"
"Yeah, I mean the forest ain't bad really, I just..." Cody sighed "I'm really afraid if any bear might attack me again, but I really don't want you to think I despise them for eternity"
Cody looked at Dawn as he was being sincere for the words he spoke, Dawn believed what he said when she saw his eyes and she definitely understood what he was trying to say as she replied.
"Don't worry Cody, I don't hate you for being afraid of those moments and how could I hate you for being attacked by one of them anyway?, that would sound like a ridiculous reason why to get mad at someone"
"Yeah that makes sense, I'm sorry if I didn't told you that when we were walking from the zoo to here"
"It's alright I understand why you didn't said anything about it, say would you like to visit my tree house? It's in here" Dawn asked with a gentle voice.
"Really? Didn't thought you'd have one but I'd be glad to do so" Cody replied with a smile
Just when they continued walking bushes were rustling from a distance, Dawn may not be surprised or afraid since she definitely has been in the forest thought it can't be said the same for poor Cody, it was a bear minding it's own business and seeking for food however this didn't stopped Cody from trembling with fear, Dawn noticed him and hold his right arm tight to calm him down.
"It's alright Cody, let's just walk away slowly, do not scream nor run" Dawn said with a soothing voice
It would seem like a very tough situation for Cody, he does know that Dawn could speak to the bear and perhaps convince him or her to leave them alone but he was still spooked about it. The bear just continued seeking for food in the bushes, thus giving the chance for them to just walk away the situation, Cody was surprised how did things came out..
"Holy heck, I thought bears could smell fear"
"That's a myth, they're harmless unless if felt threaten"
"But I wasn't any threat to the bear that attacked me in the show... Oh well, maybe there is a lot about bears that I don't know"
They've walked for nine minutes and fortunately they found Dawn's treehouse, it was a long tree and the branches were sturdy enough to hold the treehouse. Dawn would knock three times at a tree, Cody couldn't help to ask the girl why she did that until some a ladder came down from the treehouse, then the two climbed up to the treehouse and now they were inside; the place looked nice adorned with dream catchers, candles on the floor and prediction cards, but it also did had some furniture like a home would usually have, even there was a room with an entire bed, sheets and pillow, this definitely wasn't an ordinary tree house in Cody's point of view.
"Huh, I definitely did not thought your treehouse would look like this, it's awesome" The geek complimented with joy to the moon child's home.
"Hm? Oh, of course, thank you, you're the third person to say so" -Dawn replied with a smile.
"Yea- wait, third?"
"Yes, that reminds me, you're the third person who I might like being friends, the other two are Ella and DJ"
"No way, you know DJ as well? Damn you're full of surprises, though is that why you know me a little?" Cody asked while he was still surprised
"Not exactly, I did mentioned to you that I've seen some episodes of Total Drama and well he did kinda shown me some episodes"
"Makes sense, though by Ella do you mean The Ella from Pahkitew island? Not that I've met her or anything"
"Definitely, the three of us have a thing in common, we do enjoy the company of our wildlife friends"
"At least it's good to know you made friends"
"True, admittedly I'd love to see the friends I've made in Wawanakwa again they seem likeable such as Zoey, Mike, Cameron or B" Dawn said feeling a little nostalgic
"I can agree with that one, i also miss some of my buddies during the show, you know if we each came across path with our "Totally Dramatic buddies"" Cody chuckled a little as a joke. "perhaps we can introduce them to each other"
"I don't know, it seems a little difficult to make new friends, especially if some may be, well, not of your type" Dawn replied.
"I see, but it still might be a worth a try" Cody hoped to motivate her.
"I guess"
"That reminds me, when you knocked the tree three times and the ladder came down, how did that happened?"
"Oh! I almost forgot" she giggled a little "Berry, come over here"
From another room came a brown bunny, it looked cute and it came towards Dawn.
"Hello my adorable friend how are you? You little cute bunny" the moon child complimented Berry as if he were a puppy of a sort "Cody I'd like you to meet Berry, the bunny who did the work"
"He did that? I'm really am starting to wonder how many surprises you've got and heck I'm even wondering how did Berry do the ladder thing, anyways Hi Berry"
The brown fluffy rabbit was a little afraid when he saw Cody, just like meeting a stranger.
"Oh don't you worry Berry, Cody's friendly, hm, before I forget, here's your treat of hay and carrots you cutie" Dawn said as she fed her bunny the food
"He is cute, kinda wish my dog Butch would be like that, though he is kinda energetic and wouldn't let me do my work, can't blame him for being really happy"
"I didn't know you had a dog, what breed is he?"
"A German shepherd"
"That's nice, though you never mentioned you had a dog in the show"
"Hehe, no one would ask if I had a pet" Cody said with a laugh
"I'll be making some tea, would you like some?"
"Sure, it couldn't hurt to have a cup"
"Alright, though I'd love to hear more about your relationship with Butch after I've done making the tea"
"Will do"
This would be a fantastic moment for both Dawn and Cody, they just made a new friend in their life, they seem to take things nicely and now they're passing time with each other talking about things, not only would it be about Cody's dog Butch but also about anything really such as Cody's new dream to pursue, how Dawn met DJ and Ella and other more things, they laughed at whatever funny joke or moment they remembered, they sorta passed time with Berry and played a little with him, this talk would take two hours and a half, there hasn't been anything that troubled them at all, it would be the beginning of what could possibly be an unexpected love.
