Kimberly and her friends had woken up by a loud train, that had passed by their sleeping area. Kimberly groaned and looked to the side, and met eyes with Chris. They both blushed, and collected their items from the mildewy grass.
"We better got going, so we can make some real miles." Teddy said.
He looked between Kimberly and Chris, who's pink faces had a fuzzy, pure look to them.
"You girls have sex or somethin' last night?" Teddy wondered.
Kimberly's face turned from happy to horrified, as she moved away from Chris.
"No, Teddy. You always know how to make things awkward, huh?" She mentioned, and started walking into their direction.
The kids kept following the tracks, trudging through the heat.
There was this electricity between Chris and Kimberly the whole time, that the others could not quite identify.
"The tracks go way out of the way." Teddy commented, as they all looked out into the Royal.
"If we cut across the field, we'll be there in an hour." Chris commented.
Gordie was oddly silent. "Gordie?" Teddy asked, wondering what his opinion would be.
Gordie squinted down the field of overgrown yellow grass. "Yeah." He replied.
Vern was the only one who was skeptical about leaving the tracks, unfortunately for him.
"Take no prisoners!" Teddy yelled. He launched himself down the grassland, with Kimberley closely competing behind him.
"You don't know what's in those woods!" Vern yelled. Then soon- he had to give in and follow behind his friends.
———-
"How are we supposed to get across here?" Vern asked.
There was a swamp in front of all the kids. Their eyes scanned the water patch, thinking of ways to cross.
"We'll use you as a raft." Teddy snickered, referring to Vern.
Kimberly grabbed a stick, and handed it to Chris. As they passed the stick, their hands overlapped which almost made Kimberly choke on air.
Chris's face turned pink once again, and he felt the water with the stick.
"Hey, it's not that deep, we can walk across." Chris stated.
The gang began to move forward, but a huge drop in elevation caused them all to plunge into the dirty water.
As they resurfaced, Kimberly glared at Chris. Her hair didn't do well with water.
"Hey, it's not that deep! We can walk across!" She imitated in a high-pitched voice.
Teddy laughed and Chris tried not to chuckle at the insult.
"I told you we should have stuck to the tracks." Vern said.
"Is it just me, or are you the worlds biggest pussy?" Teddy wondered out loud.
"I suppose this is fun for you?" Vern sassed.
"No, but this is."
Teddy dunked Vern under the water, and continued with his laugh.
"C'mon Teddy, act you age." Chris complained.
"This is my age! I'm in the prime of my youth, and I'll only by young once!" He stated.
"Yeah, but you'll be stupid for the rest of your life." Kimberly spat back.
"Uh-oh. You just signed your own death warrent! You die- Merrill." Teddy announced, and pounced on her. Chris soon joined in on the water fight.
