"So, where exactly are we going?" I asked, as we soared over an unfamiliar geologic plain.
"TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH," said Chery, "NO! BUT, I DO KNOW A PLACE THAT WE COULD GO!"
"Really?" I said.
"SURE!" she said, as I passed the rein. "IT IS AT THE SWAMP PALACE!"
"WHAT did you say?!" I shrieked, now desperate for the steering wheel. I was trying to grab the rein back, but her vines were slippery, and I couldn't even get it in my grasp.
"Oh, brother," I thought out loud.
"Really, you like this place?" I said to Chery, as we neared our destination.
It looked more like a dam that a palace. It had a soggy wooden door with a silver door bumper(which was put in front of a door with a back hinged door(one that opens toward the inside of the room)), and was covered in leaves, mud, and other plant material piling several hundred feet high, blending in with the thick rain-forest we had entered. And I couldn't even see the building itself!
"COME ON," she urged, "I'M SURE ABOUT THIS!"
"I am still sure that this is wrong," I said, as we pulled in for a landing. Good thing that the jahtuero was strong, because if it wasn't, Chery might have crashed us!
"I think next time, I should drive," I said to Chery, as we climbed down the pinoipia tree we had crashed into(one of the widest trees in the galaxy---with only a diameter of 9 meters!). I mean, she WAS a horrible jahtuero-flying cowgirl. She crashed into that plump of a tree!
"COME ON!" she said. "I AM AWESOME AT DRIVING, RIGHT?"
I just let the moment pass. "Yes, you are awesome at driving," I fibbed, as I rolled my eyes.
"BAM!!! I AM THE WACKIEST COWBOY EVER!"she screamed.
"Not," I whispered under my breath, as Chery started dancing all around the place.
"What in Hru's name is going on here?" asked an unsuspecting voice.
We turned around and saw him.
A man.
He didn't look like anyone I'd already seen, since He had a dark cloak and a hood over his face. But when I peeked at him, I almost fell in shock when I saw that thing in his hand.
It was a gun.
