We're walking through the woods. I told one of the guys that was hanging at the dropshipwall to tell Clarke where I am. I think his name was Jasper. I just don't want Clarke to make a scene when she can't find me.

Lola gets excited about everything she sees. Every tree, every flower, every branch, every bug. I would find it annoying if she wasn't so adorable.

"Look." she whispers, gesturing for me to come over. I do so and sit down next to her. I look in her direction to see a deer. It's eating the grass. I smile in amazement.

"I love earth."

But the deer heard me and it turns around. We both gasp at the sight. The deer has two faces. One normal face, and one ugly variant. Then it runs away.

We just sit there for a while, shocked. Lola grabs the left side of her face with her hand. "Am I gonna grow two faces?"

I smile. "No, but maybe your children will."

Her face lights up. "Good, I'm not having children."

"Why not?"

"Because I'd have to get a boyfriend and boys are gross."

I laugh and lead her away. "Never grow up."

We walk for a while, enjoying everything we see. Then Lola sees something new. "There!" She shouts, pointing at a hive. I read a book about beekeeping once.

In real life, it's definetly more impressive than in the books. It's surrounded by hundreds of bees. Lola grabs two branches and puts them in. "Lola no!" I shout, but it was too late.

The bees are coming right at her. I grab her hand and we start running. We run as fast as we can, but she's slower and the bees are starting to catch up. I spot a river and -without thinking- we jump in.

The river isn't deep, so I can easily stand. I stay under water for a while though, hoping that the bees would leave. When I stand up again, the bees are gone. But I hear Lola shouting. "Help, can't stand!"

I run over to her, she's going up and under. Mostly under. I get to her in time and pick her up. I walk over to the side and put her down. Then I get out of the water myself.

"That was amazing!" She exclaims. I'm still catching my breath, but with a big smile. She's not wrong.

Lola grabs the branches she dropped on the rock when we were about to jump into the water. There's honey on them. She eats the honey off of one of them with her finger and hands the other one to me. I do the same. It tastes amazing. So sweet...

Unfortunatly, It's getting dark. "Time to go back. Little bee." I tell her.

She pouts. "But the cave."

"We'll continue the search tomorrow." I assure her.

She sighs. "Fine."

The she gets a mischievus smile. "Last one there is a potato!" She shouts, running away.

"But you don't even know the way!" I shout back. She doesn't turn around, so I sigh and walk after her.

Eventually we get back at the dropship. And I was wrong, she knew the way perfecly. When I walk in, a bit later then her, she says: "You're a potato."
