"Man, everything in the outside world is huge..." Don said, his eyes fluttering around as he looked at the gigantic trees.

"It's a completely different forest from where we were." one of the kids concluded as everyone looked around.

Phoebe looked in awe as she walked on the uneven ground.

Then she saw what looked like bugs that were glowing and floating, "This is-" she gasped when she tripped but was caught.

"Are you okay?" Ray asked, helping her up. She held onto both his arms and looked up to see that they were face to face. They both went red and she pushed herself away from him, clearing her throat.

"Y-yeah i'm fine." she said with a flustered smile.

Ray laughed at her then they continued walking. Ray stayed close to her as they both swayed through the tall forest.

Everyone started looking around, fascinated.

"Everyone, let's stay in a group as we walk. We don't know what's out there, and pursuers from the farm might come." Emma explained, holding a compass.

Phoebe's stomach growled and Ray looked over at her, as did Emma.

Ray raised an eyebrow, "Hungry?"

<•••>

"Don't eat everything at once, just a little at a time." Emma explained as they all sat between four big tall trees.

"We need to stretch out the food and water we brought with us." Emma continued.

"Okay!" everyone said at once.

Phoebe had ate half of a biscuit and gave the extra half to the younger kids, then sat next to Ray.

"So...how do you think this is gonna go?" Phoebe sighed, looking over to Ray.

Ray sighed too. "I don't know."

Phoebe closed her eyes and tried to replace the bad thoughts with positive ones.

She looked down when she felt something on her hand.

She blushed when she saw Rays hand on hers, their fingers intertwined and Phoebe looked over to Emma, standing alone.

"How do you think she's holding up? I don't think I saw her drink any water." Phoebe frowned and looked over to Ray to see him staring at her.

His thumb rubbed her hand and he sighed and got up. "I'll go check on her."

                          <•••>

"Come on Phoebe, time to get moving." Ray said as he put his hand out to Phoebe, she smiled and grabbed it. Ray lifted her up then everyone started walking.

Yvette crouched down to look at a green and reddish plant, her brown eyes filled with curiosity.

Anna checked to see if she was okay and Yvette pointed something out.

Everyone crouched down to the plants, confused.

"I know! I saw this plant in a book at the house!" Yvette exclaimed.

"Um....it was called..." Yvette was deep in thought.

Then Phoebe snapped her fingers.

"The Adventures of Ugo." Ray and Phoebe said in sync.

"Right!" Yvette smiled.

Then they cracked the code.

Water was inside the plants. Ray grabbed a knife and cut one open, and out came water into the glass jar.
