19. Oh, The Things You’ll Hear.

“Okay, so we dropped the guy off at the happy place, can you guys take me exploring nowww?” I begged as we all soared through the air above the thick forest that ran for hundreds of miles.

“Sure.” Cassie grinned and dove straight down into the thicket of trees, followed by Orion.

“Hey! You can’t leave me here!” I shouted after them. “Okay, maybe you can.” I laughed and flew down after them.





“So. This is the forest.” Orion scratched the back of his head as we all stood there.

“Hm.” I stared at all the different colored flowers and the bushes. “Are those strawberries?!” I gasped and ran over to a pile of strawberries lying on the ground. I shrieked as something came up from the ground and swallowed me.

“Well…” Orion started, trying his best to keep from laughing, “yes, and you just fell in a trap.” He burst out laughing after staring at me in the net for a couple more seconds.

“Shut up!” I stuck my tongue out.

Cassie was already on the ground, laughing.

“Fine. If crazy quicksand monsters chase us later, I’m tripping you both.” I cut the rope with my now-apparently sharp nails and hopped out. “You’re both buttheads.” I said as dignified as possible and started walking off.





“Come on, Lunaaa.” Cassie whined as she tugged at the rope net that now held her and Orion.

“I don’t know…” I grinned as I stared up at them, they’d triggered a trap when they were running after me. It’s funny how the whole situation is a lot more humorous when it doesn’t happen to you.

“We’re sorryyy.” She whimpered, pawing at the rope with puppy eyes. “Orion, say you’re sorry.” She jabbed him in the side with her elbow.

“Ow! No.” He sulked and tried his best to turn his back to me.

“Dude, you’re in so much trouble. She’s the queen AND can kick your butt.” Cassie grinned.

“She can not!” he yelled at Cassie, it was entertaining, so I sat down and started eating the strawberries I’d picked up earlier.

“You’re just in denial.” She declared.

“I think I’m beginning to hate you both.” He glared.

“Well, gosh. You can hate me. Just don’t hate your girlfriend.”

“Who?” He raised an eyebrow at her.

“Luna.” She pointed at me. Orion’s jaw dropped and I started choking on the apple. “Well, isn’t she?”

“NO!” we both managed to shout at the same time. “Cassie,” I shook my head, “where did you get an idea like that?”

“From Orion.” She stated.

“What?” Orion stared at her disbelievingly.

“You talk in your sleep and when I was passing by your room, you said ‘I love you, Luna’ and then you smiled.” Orion’s face reddened like a tomato and his eyes widened when she said that.

“Huh.” I said then flew up and cut them both loose. “Well, this kinda makes things awkward so I’m going to fly around for a while.”

“Okie dokie!” Cassie yelled after me as I took off.
