Over and Into His Heart

Betrayal

Hey guys! A plot twist in this show? Yes, there is! Anyway, here's the chapter! :D

-Susan's POV-

We had finished singing and playing our instruments. The frogs cheered and allowed us to stay on the ferry for the rest of the trip. I leaned against the railing, waiting for the very to hit port, as the band played more songs. They played a couple fast songs, and the frogs started swing dancing to them. I laughed as Greg picked up Beatrice in his hands and started dancing around with her, although she protested.

"Hey," I heard. I looked up and saw it was Wirt.

"hi," I said.

"Any ideas to why Beatrice is upset?"

"Nope. But I"m sure we'll figure it out."

We stood there awkwardly as the music kept playing. One frog couple bumped into Wirt, who bumped into me. We laughed, "Man, these frogs sure love to dance," I said.

"Well, why don't we join them?" Wirt asked. I looked at him, surprised, "You? Want to dance with me?"

"Yeah, why not?" he asked, taking my hand.

"I don't even know how to swing dance!" I protested, as he pulled me onto the dance floor with Greg, and Beatrice.

"Neither do I!" he said, laughing. We tried to couple what the other frogs were doing, but we kept stepping on each others feet. In the end, we just spun each other around, until we grew dizzy. Wirt spun me for the last time, and I fell over from everything spinning. He caught me and we laughed.

"Susan," Wirt said, trying to restrain from laughing, "I didn't know you had a twin sister."

I giggled and looked at him, "I didn't know you had a twin brother."

We laughed, and stumbled over to the railing of the boat. We stood there until we regain our normal sight and sighed. "That was," I said, "The most fun I've had in a long time."

"When was the last time?" Wirt asked.

I shrugged my shoulders, "It's been hard since I've left the woods and lived with my adopted parents. People treat me like I'm nothing. So, when dances or parties come along and I'm invited to either, you usually see me as the wall flower in those events, because nobody wants to be near the 'weird girl.'"

Wirt looked at me, shocked, but seeming to understand. "Hey," he said, "When we get back, I'll introduce you to my friends, that way, you have not just me, but a couple more as well who will stick up for you."

I smiled, "Thanks Wirt."

Just then, the ferry whistle blew, making Wirt and I jump. We followed Greg, Beatrice and the frogs to the bottom level of the boat. They started walking off the gang plank and we watched.

"What are they doing?" Wirt asked, watching them.

"It looks like," I started, as the frogs went over into the mud and started burying themselves in it, "Hibernating in the mud?"

"Yup, that's what it looks like," said Beatrice.

Wirt put his hand over his eyes, trying to see far. "So, where is Adelaide's house? Is it close?"

I looked at Beatrice, waiting for an answer. "It's um," she said, "You know, we should probably go tomorrow? We don't want to bother her too late, you know?"

I thought she sounded a bit suspicious, but I had to agree; we would be disturbing her. "What do we do for now?" Wirt asked, "Lie around in the mud with the frogs?"

Greg gasped and said, "I call that mud! Over there!" He ran down the gang plank with George and jumped in the mud, laughing.

Wirt, Beatrice and I followed Greg, but we tried to stay out of the mud. We found some level ground and made a small fire pit. We found a bucket and filled it with water, waiting for it to boil. As we sat, Wirt told us all a story of what happened before we found Beatrice, and before we found ourselves in the woods. I blocked out most of it, since I wasn't at the party.
