As Haeley slumps down further she parks the car in the side of the road and she reaches her hand down the side of her chair, she pulls out a blind fold,"You have to wear his before we arrive at the first stop." She says, "I knew you had a plan of some type!" I bellow and she just laugh as she ties the blind fold over my eyes to make sure I'm not peeking. I can still see but she doesn't know that, I keep it to myself as she starts the car again we head off in the direction we are supposedly heading. I begin to moan in agony of how long it is taking Haeley to find her way to the First Stop as I say, "Are we there yet?" I groan and Haeley just ignores me and laughs. Silence continues for about another 20 minutes and the blowing wind continuously ruffles my hair, until she stops the car.

"Here we are!" She explains as she removes the blindfold. I blink more than a million times noticing that night has fallen (okay maybe I exaggerated, I probably only blinked like 30-40 times😁).  The blindfold had only just masked a view of these rapidly flowing waterfalls. The water crystal clear and beautiful as it rippled amongst itself, the moon and stars shining ever so brightly and Haeley, her face lit by the moons beams seems so harmless and beautiful. (Wait what?!!!!??!??! I don't like her!!!!!!) I shake the thought away and concentrate on the the pattern sounds as the water ripples over the edge of the ledge and into the body of water beneath. The sound of the trickling water keeps my mind occupied for a while until I can no longer hold on the question surfacing its self with in me, "Why did you bring me to this place?" She stares at the waterfall gracefully flowing freely, "It is just a calming place, to think things through and construct new ideas. I guess that's all."

She looks at me and supplies a weak smile, I smile back and walk over to the edge of the large lagoon of water. I remove my shirt and shorts and dive into the refreshing water,"Ahhhhh!" I sigh with delite and paddle further out to relax in the chilling water. "What are you doing Huntaah?!" Haeley asks as she laughs at me, "Oh, you know just relaxing and calming my self in the water." I reply, she just stands there watching me as if I may turn into some dangerous creature! "Hey come and help me out will you?" As she grips onto my hand, I pull her into the water and she falls with a splash. I laugh as she resurfaces in only a matter of seconds. "It's a bit cold, don't you think?" She manages to say, "No, not at all!" My voice screeches and Haeley laughs, " Nice voice you got there!" Giggling along I agree with her.

After around 30 minutes of splashing and laughing we leave the water and dress ourselves before we end up freezing to death. We jump into the car and begin our journey to I-Don't-Know-Where.
