Not this grease, the other grease

When i woke up, it was still sorta dark. I have this thing where I can never go back to sleep if I wake up, so I decided to go for a walk.  

I was walking around the woods when I noticed something peculiar "What's a Chinese mulberry bush doing in western canada?" I wondered aloud, poking one of the branches.

"YAAAAAA!" I heard someone scream. They started hitting me with a stick while saying "DIE ZOMBIE, DIE!". Eventually, I managed to grab the stick. I snapped it over my knee, and glared at the attacker  "What the heck Shawn?!" I yelled "Why are you attacking me?". 

He looked surprised "Alex? You're still you?" he questioned    

"Who the hell else could i be but myself?"

"I thought you were a zombie," he said, as if zombies existed. I think he hit his head in the blimp crash, it's the only reasonable explanation. "Oooooooookay?" I said, before leaving quickly. I walked around for a while, before hearing something "You should stand up to your sister". I stepped over a bush, seeing Sammy and Jasmine "You're the underdog, and underdogs have a lot of fight and honor in them" Jasmine said to her.

 Sammy sighed "Yeah, i guess" she noticed me "Oh, hey Alex!" she called out, waving. I waved back 

"Hey, whatcha guys doing?" I questioned, stepping out of the shrubbery (A/n, i love this word. Try saying it five times fast) 

"Foraging. Wanna help?" Jasmine asked. It would get me points with my team... "Sure, I don't really have anything better to do".

"What's a chinese mulberry bush doing in this part of the world?" Jasmine questioned, finding the same bush I had. "Yeah, I saw that earlier, and thought the same thing" I said. 

"Oooh, apple!" we both heard Sammy say. I noticed what she was holding. "NOOOOO!" me and Jasmine both screamed. Jasmine picked up a stick and threw it at the fruit, stabbing it into a tree. "Woah! I would've given you guys a bite if you'd asked,"Sammy said.

"Sorry, but that's a-" jasmine began

"manchineel fruit" someone said. We all turned to where it had come from. "Spanish refer to it as manzanilla de la muerte, aka, the little apple of death" Shawn explained.

"He's right" Jasmine said "well, it probably wouldn't have killed you, but it would have made your mouth blister something awful". I nodded  

"Yeah, once my brother ate one, and his throat closed up. He couldn't talk for two days" I smiled. 

Confessional

Best two days of my life *Smiles widely*. Hey it's not mean, being happy a villain got what they deserved is kinda... uh...*Shrugs* heroic?

End

"My hand!" Sammy said, itching it "it's so itchy!". Then stop scratching it, that'll just make it worse.  "Congrats princess, you just got your first lesson in survival 101, know. Your. Flora. Lesson two, soak your hand in water and scrub it with sand, swelling gone" Shawns said.

"Oh, but, I'm supposed to help you guys with the foraging," Sammy said to me and Jasmine. 

"You won't be much help when your hand swells up like a wicket keeper's glove" Jasmine chuckled. We all stared at her. A what keepers glove? "Cricket?" Jasmine said. Nothing "it's a game". Still nothing. "Just go". Ouch. That's gotta hurt. 

Sammy walked off towards the beach. Jasmine noticed Shawn's bag of food "You're quite the outdoorsman" she noted. I instantly felt like a third wheel.
