*The next morning passes, Alto and the traverlers head to the grocery store to pick up some supplies*
*Alto buys a travel bag, With that he buys Cold resistant clothing and hiking gear*
*He gazes at the counter at the snacks and sees his and serpas favorite snack, A Choclate Rush Bar.*
*He sighs and grabs a few bars and then he heads to checkout*
Sal : *Now fully dressed* Yo wait up there!
Hurb : *Is holding a bunch of stuff in his hands and cant see over the stuff he has* is this enough for the trip*
*Alto shrugs and replies yes, he isnt focused on them*
*After paying they begin to leave when alto sees out of the corner of his eye serpas car pulling into the parkway*
Alto : Shit! *He goes into his puddle and he learns that if he is holding something it goes into the puddle with him*
*Sal and Hurb come out of the store and are wonderding where Alto went*
*Serpa and Her mother walk up to Sal and Hurb.*
Serpa : Hey have you seen a young man a little taller than I am, a bit stupid, come around?
Sal : Do you have a name for him hon?
Serpa : Oh his name is Alto, He ran away about a day and a half ago.
Hurb : *Sits down the stuff* We did meet someone named Alto last night! He said he would guide us through the mountains, In our search for the wicked Puppet Master!
*alto again feels a strange numb feeling, a Goan in the back of his head*
SM : Oh that old fairy tail?
Sal : *Glares at her* It's not a fairy tail…
SM : Have you seen him?
Sal : Well not yet!
SM : And lemme guess your proof is "Eye witness testimony"
Hurb : You think this is funny dont you!?
SM : Do you want me to be honest?
Serpa : Who are you to judge mom? Alto can turn himself into a puddle!
Sal : And we're the crazy ones. *They again glare at each other.*
Hurb : Well we have to go find our guide. He seemed to be more reasonable than the other towns people… *Hurb picks up his stuff and walks back towards the forest, Sal follows*
SM : Reasonable sounds similar to gulable. *She snickers*
Serpa : They said they found someone named alto! Maybe they lost him in the store! *She runs in and her mother follows*
*Alto follows Sal and Hurb in his puddle form, He goes past the two a little ways and then materializes again*
Alto : *Nervously says to the two* Finally you two caught up. *He laughs*
Sal : There you are! *She runs to him*
Hurb : *Is still a little ways behind them*
Sal : A cute one like yourself can get away from us can't you. *She winks*
Alto : U-Umm… I dont know what your-
Hurb : *Is panting and finally catches up, Then throws the stuff down* what's the deal man!? Dont let this happen when we get up that mountain!
Alto : Well sorry, I already packed my stuff…
Sal : Dont worry Alto!, He is just cranky because he hasn't had any food today. Why dont you calm down big boy.
Hurb : *Looks away angered*
Sal : *Begins to put there stuff into there travel bags* sheesh I have to do everything.
Alto : *Shuffles around in his back and picks up the Omen Patch* I wonder what this thing is…
Sal : *Comes up from behind him and peaks over his shoulder* Whats that doll?
*Alto jumps and shoves it back into his bag*
Alto : Nothing! Wheres Hurb off to?
Sal : He wanted to collect some dead wood for later… he'll be a a few minutes… *She winks and gets closer*
Alto : Listen, I see where this-
Sal : Ive had my eyes on you sense you came last night.
Alto : *Packs his stuff and closes his bag* Well I don't-
*She kisses him and he quickly pushes away*
Alto : Listen! *They hear a shuffle in the woods and it startles them both*
