Morgan's pov
As we walked down the train tracks we all began to sing the theme song of our favorite western tv show,""Have Gun, Will Travel" reads the card of a man. A knight without armor in a savage land. His fast gun for hire heeds the calling wind. A soldier of fortune is the man called, Paladin."we all sang."Paladin, Paladin, where do you roam? Paladin, Paladin, far, far from home."Teddy sang the rest of the song,"We could fill up at the junkyard. My dad says it's a safe well."Gordie said."not if Chopper's there."i reminded him,"Morgan's right."Vern said."If Chopper's there,we'll send you in."Chris jokingly said to Vern,I laughed."Ha-ha. Very funny."Vern said sarcastically,"Hey,I'm kinda hungry.Who's got the food?"Vern asked.

We all stopped walking,"Oh, shit!Did anybody bring anything?"Teddy asked worryingly."all I have is this cookie."i said,taking out a cookie from my pocket."Oh, oh, this is great! What are we supposed to do, eat our feet?!"Teddy exclaimed,"you mean you didn't bring anything either?"I asked."Well shit, this wasn't my idea! It was you and Vern's idea!"he then turned to Vern,"Why didn't you bring something?"he asked him angrily."What am I supposed to do,think of everything?I brought the comb!"Vern said,"Oh, great! You brought the comb! What do you need a comb for? You don't even have any hair!"Teddy yelled."I brought it for you guys!"Vern yelled,"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey! Let's see how much money we got."Gordie suggested.

We sat down between the rails and began to count our money,"Yeah,I got a dollar-two.Sixty-eight cents from Chris,Sixty cents from Teddy,and a dollar from Morgan."Gordie counted all of our money.Vern handed Gordie the money he had,it wasn't much though."Seven cents, Vern?"I questioned,"I haven't found my pennies yet."Vern reminded me."Well, two-thirty-seven's not bad.Quidacioluo's is at the end of that little road that goes by the junkyard.I think we can get some stuff there."Gordie said,"train's coming."Chris then said."Geronimo!"Vern exclaimed as we we all immediately got off the tracks,Teddy didn't get off though.

"Come on Teddy, man. Get off the tracks-you're crazy."Chris said,"Train dodge,dig it."Teddy said with a grin."Get the hell off the tracks Teddy!You wanna get yourself killed?!"I asked,"Just like the beach at Normandy."Teddy said as he imitated a machine gun noise."Come on, man. Come on!"I yelled,Chris then grabbed Teddy.he struggled with him,trying to pull him off the tracks.Finally he succeeded,and the train whizzes by,blowing its whistle."I'm just tryin' to save your life, man! You wanna kill yourself?! Is that what you want, goddamn it?! You're tryin' to kill yourself!"Chris scolded him, There was a moment of tense silence once the train passed.

Teddy stared at Chris,"I don't need no babysitter."he said coldly."You do too."Chris said,Chris held out the palm of his hand."Skin it."he said,"I could've dodged it."Teddy said.he ignored Chris' gesture and turns around,starting to walk away.Vern,Gordie,and I followed Chris as he went after Teddy and stopped him."Listen, Teddy. You can dodge it on the way back, man. Peace. Skin it."Chris said,there was a pause before Teddy finally skins it."oh brother,this'll be a long journey."I thought,we began to start walking between the tracks again.
