The gang was walking in the forest. Emily was upfront. She pulled out Tate from her bandana and put him in her pocket.  His head was sticking out. Ivan was walking slowly behind them.

  Ivan: I'm sooooo hungry!
  Carrie: Stop whining.
  Kyle: Look. Berries. (he pointed at the berries)
  Carrie: Don't eat them. We don't know if they're poisonous.
  Ivan (With a mouth full of berries): What did you say?
  Carrie: Ivan!
  Ivan: Calm down, nothing will happen.
  Kyle (while reading a survival guide): Actually, they are very poisonous. You'll be dead by the end of the day.
  Ivan: What?! Where did you get that book?!
  Kyle: It's a survival guide. I always carry it.
  Ivan: Why?
  Kyle: In case we find a hedgehog and need to go to a deadly forest.
  Ivan: Ok... Is there an antidote.
  Kyle: There is. (reads guide) You have to drink bear piss.
  Ivan: Well I lived a nice life. Let's go find this guys family before I die.
  Carrie: Hey, where's Emily? We lose that girl WAY too often.
  Kyle: I see her. Let's go.
  Ivan: Yeah, let's totally ignore the fact that I'm gonna DIE!!!
  Carrie (Whispers to Kyle): He does know he ate ordinary blueberries, right?
  Kyle: Shh. 

Meanwhile, Emily sat on a tree stump while waiting for them.

  Emily: Where are those guys.

She pulls out an apple from her bag and gives Tate a piece.

  Emily: I hope they're not dead. (Takes a bite)

Tate jumps from her pocket and points with his nose toward her friends. She puts her apple back in her bag and started walking towards them. Kyle saw her and ran to her. He fell in a hole. Ivan and Carrie rushed to him. It was a trap planter for wild animals.

  Emily: Are you okay?
  Kyle: I'm fine. I'm totally fine except the fact I FELL INTO A HOLE.
  Ivan: I think he's sarcastic.
  Emily: Yeah, no kidding. We need to find a way to get him out of there. Ivan, you stay here and look after Kyle, Carrie and I are gonna go find something to get Kyle out of there.
  Ivan: Aye aye, captain.
  Emily: Carrie, let's go. And one more thing. Don't call me captain.

Emily and Carrie walked away. Ivan took out his phone.

  Ivan: Dammit, no connection.
  Kyle: Are you look for Wi-Fi in the woods?
  Ivan: No... Shut up.

Emily is looking for vine.

  Carrie: Emily! I found rope!
  Emily: Where? (Goes to Carrie) Wait, isn't this for a trap.
  Carrie: Nevermind that. We got rope.
  Emily: Yeah, but hunting isn't allowed in this area. We could get hurt, or worse...
  Carrie: Let's just go. We have a friend waiting in a hole.

They leave. Emily feels suspicious. She looks around to see if they're any other traps. She tackles Carrie.

  Carrie: What the h...
  Emily: Shh, I heard something.

They see hunters setting up a trap.

  Emily: Jerks, they're killing wildlife. We have to stop them.
  Carrie: Emily, they have guns.

Emily ignores her

  Carrie: Emily!

Emily starts crawling slowly towards the hunters to get a better look.

  Carrie: For God's sake, Emily.
  Emily (Smiling): What? I just want to get more rope for Kyle.
  Carrie: You're upto something.
  Emily: You know it.
  Carrie: I'm in!

Ivan was reading the survival guide next to the hole. Carrie and Emily walked to him with rope.

  Ivan: Woah, where did you get so many rope.
  Carrie: We found some traps so we took the rope from them.
  Ivan: Traps?
  Emily: Yeah...(giggles)...traps.
  Ivan: Okay.....

They got Kyle out of the hole. He sprained his ankle, but he could walk. They continued their journey.
