Mushroom leads the group into a random direction into the mushroom forest while humming excitedly. "Isn't this how horror movies usually go? A group of friends go into the forest and end up lost, and get killed." Sparks said breaking the silence. "I'm glad you think all of us as you're friends Sparky!" Mushroom said excitedly not even stopping to look at Sparks. "Really that's what you get from what I said, and don't call me Sparky." He said and rolled his eyes. "Anyways, what are we even trying to do besides exploring Mushroom?"

Mushroom shrugged, "Who knows! That's the fun part of it!" They said happily thinking about all the fun them and their friends will have on this adventure. "Onwards!" They exclaimed excitedly. The group continued forward into the unknown, some were annoyed, Sparks, and others excited. They didn't know what they were getting themselves into.

Time seemed to pass by slowly as the group went deeper into the forest, at first there were giant mushrooms but they soon became replaced by giant trees and flowers. It looked so beautiful not even Sparks could deny it. "It looks so pretty out here, I'm glad we all get to enjoy this together." Mushroom sighed happily and the others nodded in response. Hey continued on in comfortable silence until Bug spoke up,"Hey, can we rest a bit? My feet are getting a little tired." Sparks and Rocky nodded in agreement signaling that they too need a break from walking.

"Of course we can take a break, it's not a fun adventure if we're all hurting!" Mushroom exclaims and they sit down on a big stone next to them. Sparks and Rocky sit on a log while Bug sits on the ground. "Wanna sit here instead Bug?" Mushroom asks and Bug responds,"Nah, I'm fine. Besides, I like the ground." Mushroom only nodded knowing that no matter how hard they try Bug will always make up their mind and stick with it. Mushroom takes off their bag and opens it, then they grab a snack and a water bottle. "Anyone want some? I have plenty." Sparks shakes his head no and so does Bug. "I forgot about that!" Rocky exclaims excitedly while getting her own snacks and water from her backpack.

"You just brought that for the adventure and forgot about that? Shows how bad of a memory you have." Sparks scoffed and Mushroom sighed and replied in place of what Bug would have said. "I think it is completely fine that Bug forgot, everyone forgets things! Besides, at least they were well prepared for the adventure." Mushroom smiled, satisfied at the words that they said to help their friends feel better. Sparks just rolled his eyes in slight annoyance, got up, and walked off. This caused Mushroom's smile to fade and they walked over to Sparks, he was their friend after all.

"Hey, are you okay Sparks? You seem more annoyed and kinda rude today."Mushroom asked, 'I don't mean that to be rude or anything I was just stating that you seem a little out of it today." Mushroom quickly added not wanting to offend him. "I'm fine, besides why would you care if something was up? Are you gonna use the magic of friendship to fix my problems?" Sparks asked sarcastically and crossed his arms. "I know I can't just magically fix your problems Sparks. I just want to help you because you're my friend, you're the whole groups friend." Mushroom stated in a caring manner, this caused Sparks face to soften and his arms or rest at his side. "I'm sure you wouldn't actually want to help me out, you're only saying this because you feel pity for others. You don't actually care about how others feel, you just help others to make YOU feel better." Sparks said in a hurtful tone and looked away from Mushroom, Mushroom looked hurt but then put a smile on their face and responded in a cheerful tone with a slight hint of sadness and determination. "You can believe that all you want Sparks, but I'll always be here for you and the others." "Sure, whatever you say." Sparks answered and walked back to the group.
