-a few hours later-

Uni's p.o.v

Cory and I have been walking for hours. when are we going to get there? This is taking so long. I looked over at Cory and saw he was focused on where we were heading.

"how much longer?" I asked whining a bit.

"right now!" he said. I looked in front of us and saw a pond. It was a deep blue colour. The pond was surrounded by flowers. The flowers were amazing, they looked so cool. Cory crouched down and looked into the pond. I resisted the urge to push him in. Cory looked into the pond for a minute then screamed. I snapped my head to look at him and saw the water was bubbling. he held his hand to his chest. his hand was dark red. He probably burned himself. The bubbles began to for into the shape of a person. Then  a lady appeared from the bubbles. She had longish brown hair with blond at the bottom. Cory and I looked at her. she was wearing a gray and white gown. she had a blue heart in her hair. 

"hello!" she said. her voice is extremely high pitched.

"H-Hi," Cory said blushing. For some odd reason I got upset.

"what are you boys here for?" she asked while kindly smiling.

"um, a healing stone," Cory said.

"why?"

"it's for Cory! so he can be human again."

"oh, well you can have one. But you have to pay,"

"okay, how much?" I asked.

"you're silly! I don't want money!"

"Then, what do you want?" I asked tilting my head a little. she look at Cory and I and giggled. Something tells me that what she's about to say involves something weird or funny.

"I want you to kiss Cory," she said smiling. My face became extremely hot.  I looked over at Cory, he was also blushing.

"are you sure we can't do something else?" I asked nervously.

"I want you to kiss, I mean you don't have to unless you want a healing stone" she said. I sighed and turned towards Cory. Cory looked very uncomfortable. But then his face lit up.

"kiss me on the cheek," he whispered. I nodded and kissed his cheek. The lady began squealing loudly. Cory and I covered our ears.

"here," she said handing me a purple heart shaped stone. I put it in my backpack with the other two things we got.

"thank you miss," I said.

"oh,  I'm Shelby so you know!"

"Thank you Shelby!" Cory shouted back at her. he was already walking down the path. I waved bye to Shelby and ran after Cory. I hope we get to take a break soon.

Tommy's p.o.v

Nick and I saw a pond that was just a little farther up to path. Nick began running towards it. I quickly followed behind him. We both froze when we saw a girl standing on top of the pond.

"um, hello." Nick said. The lady looked at us and smiled.

"What do you need?" she asked.

"A healing stone, please," the lady laughed at nick which made me a bit upset. It's my job to make fun of people!

"sure, but you guys have to hug." Nick and I both looked at each other. At least she didn't ask us to kiss. we stepped closer to each other and hugged. This felt nice...but I'm only doing this so nick can be human and do stuff.  This hug felt very awkward.  For some dumb reason my face was getting hot. Why am I blushing?! We broke the hug and I put out my hand for her to put the stone in my hand. She placed a purple heart shaped stone in my hand. I put it in my backpack.

"thank you," Nick said. I just stood there silently.

"you're welcome, by the way my name is Shelby!"

"I'm Nick and that's Tommy," When he said my name he pointed at me. I just looked at them then looked back towards the path. I felt like Nick was staring at me.

"we have to get going," Nick said. I went back to the path and starting walking. Nick quickly caught up to me.

"what's wrong Tommy?"

"what nothing is wrong?"

"sure, that's why you weren't telling bad puns and saying random  stuff,"

"Nothing is wrong Nick, I'm just a little tired."

"we can take a break for the night after our next stop, okay?"

"yes please!" we continued walking forward.

Jon's p.o.v

I saw a beautiful pond just a little farther down the path. I began speed walking. when I got there I saw a lady sitting on top of the water. Wait...how is she sitting on the water?  Her eyes were closed until dawn accidently stepped on a stick and made a loud cracking noise. her eyes shot open. she looked at dawn and I.

"how may I help you?"

"we need a healing stone!" I said.

"for what?" she asked.

"for dawn!" I said.

"you can have one but you have do something cute." I nodded and looked over at dawn. I walked over to him and hugged him. I snuggled into his chest. My face was probably more flushed then it normally was. Dawn hugged back and the lady squealed. we broke from the hug and looked at her. she had a huge smile on her face. she handed me a purple heart shaped stone. I put it my backpack.

"thank you,"

"you're welcome, oh and my name is Shelby,"

"nice to meet you Shelby I'm Jon and that's Dawn."

"Jon and Dawn?" she said.

"funny, right?" she nodded. dawn grabbed my arm. I looked at him, blushing a bit.

"we should get going. we need to be at our next stop before the sun goes down." I nodded and said bye to Shelby. Dawn and I walked back onto the path and continued walking forward. Deeper and deeper into the forest. I'm surprised we haven't ran into any monsters yet. maybe they stay away from each other.  I don't know but I'm getting a little tired. I hope we get to rest for the night soon.
