CHAPTER TWO

, Hey, marine!", Hey bro!" Grace and Juliana greeted Jake. They were in their Avatars. , Grace? Jules?" Jake asked the two women as they approached him with smiles. , Well, who'd you expect, numbnuts?" Grace said to Jake and Juliana grabbed the fruit next to her and threw it at Jake. , Think fast" Juliana smiled and Jake caught it. , Motor control's looking good" Grace said. Jake took a bite from the fruit and then he laughed. , It's good, isn't it" Juliana said with a smile. , Hell yeah" Jake smiled.

, Come on everybody, quiet down! All right, gang lights out!" Grace said in a cabin. , Come on Louise chop, chop!" Grace said to one of the scientists. , Lights out, see you at dinner kids" Grace said, turning the light out off after she closed the doors. Juliana lay down with a sigh. She didn't want to leave. She wanted to stay forever.

, Sturmbeest herd coming up on your right" Trudy said. , Got it! Thanks" Grace answered Trudy and then she pointed to some animals. , Looks like a bull, a dozen cows, and some juveniles" Grace said. Grace, Juliana, Jake, and Norm were in their Avatar bodies while Trudy was piloting the helicopter. , Whoooo!" Jake cheered as they went down along with the waterfall. They landed on the ground, it was close to a school where Grace thought the Na'vi children English. 

, Shut it down. We're gonna stay a while" Grace said to Trudy who listened to her. , Norm, your pack" Grace reminded Norm. , Stay with the ship" Grace said to a man with a gun. , One idiot with a gun is enough" Juliana added with a small chuckle. They went deeper into the forest of Pandora. Even though Juliana had seen it hundreds of times, she still touched everything that she walked by. They stopped when Prolemuris were climbing from one tree to another. , Prolemuris. They're not aggressive" Grace said to Jake. , Relax marine, you're making me nervous" Grace said to Jake again, and then they started to walk. 

, So, how will they know we're here?" Norm asked Grace. , I'm sure they're watching us right now" Grace responded to Norm. The four walked into a small building. , This was our school. Now it's just... Storage" Grace said to the two boys. , The kids were so bright. Eager to learn. They picked up English faster than I could teach it" Grace said, placing a book on a shelf. , So, we'll take a couple of these Ph monitors... and a soil probe That yellow little case back there. The old microscope" Grace said. Norm grabbed a book from the ground, handing it to Juliana. , Oh, I loved this one" Juliana chuckled and placed the book on a shelf. , The stingbats knocked them down" Grace said with a smile. , I keep hoping someone will come back in and read them" Grace said. , Why don't they come back?" Norm asked Grace. , The Omaticaya... learned as much about us as they needed to" Grace answered.

, What happened here?" Jake asked as he looked at a board that had holes from bullets in it. , Are you gonna help this with this gear? We've got a lot to do" Grace said to him, avoiding the question.

They were walking through the forest once again and Grace and Juliana were in the front. , Keep moving, Norm" Jake said to Norm. , Keep up, guys!" Grace and Juliana called out.

, And here I go" Grace said as she stuck a needle into a root of a tree. , Scanning" Norm said, scanning it with a tablet. , Wow! It's that fast?" Norm said and Grace chuckled. , Amazing, isn't it?" Grace asked him. , Yeah.", So, that is signal transduction from this root to the root of the tree next to it. So, we should take a sample" Grace said to Norm. Juliana looked at Jake with a bored look, and he shared the look with her. The siblings walked further away from Grace and Norm, finding some weird flowers. Jake touched one of the flowers, making it go to the soil. , Cool, huh?" Juliana smiled, she liked these flowers, whatever they were called. Jake touched another, making him laugh as the flower make her way to the soil. Then the flowers make themselves into the soil, making the two siblings turn around only to see a big animal. Jake aimed at it. , Don't shoot, don't shoot. You'll piss him off" Grace warned Jake. , Listen to her, Jake" Juliana said as Jake pushed her gently behind him.

, It's already pissed off" Jake said. , Jake, that armor's too thick. Trust me" Grace said. , It's territorial threat display. Do not run, or he'll charge" Grace said to Jake, knowing that Juliana knew this already. , So what do I do, dance with it?" Jake asked, almost making Juliana laugh. , Just hold your ground, Jake" Juliana said and touched his shoulder. The animal ran towards them, making Jake run toward it while yelling and it stopped in front of him. , Jake!" Juliana called out to her brother. , Yeah, come on! What you got?" Jake asked and the animal backed away a little. , Oh, yeah. Who's bad? That's right. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, bitch" Jake said, making Juliana roll her eyes. She looked behind her and saw another animal. , Jake" Juliana whispered in fear, but Jake didn't hear her. , That's right, get your punk ass back to mommy. Yeah? Yeah, you got nothing. You keep running. Yeah, and why don't you bring back some of your friends, huh?" Jake said to the animal in front of them, but when he heard a growl, he turned around. , Oh, shit" Juliana said as it jumped in front of them. , So what about this one? Run? Don't run? What?" Jake asked. 

, Run! Definitely, run!" Grace and Juliana shouted, and the two Sullys started to run.
