"Only if you don't burn down the forest." Joe remembered before they left- Liz was trying to learn how to make some fire- without burning something. She was curious if Liz learned it or not. Joe grabbed onto a low branch of a tree and pulled herself up into the rest of the branches. "How big do you think this forest is?" She asked.

"I won't burn anything down,"Liz assured. She climbed the same tree and sat on a branch next to Joe. "I don't know how big it is, but I could find out if you want to know,"Liz said. She would climb the tree and see how big it is from the top. She clapped her hands and a small ball of fire lit up a small area so they had light. "It won't burn anything."

Joe looked up and tried to see the top of the tree. It looked as though there wasn't a top to the forest. "I don't think that is even possible." She laughed. Joe climbed up a bit higher, to a larger branch. "These trees are something old." She said crawling to the end of the branch. Joe jumped from the one tree, and barely just grabbed the other tree's branch.

"Oh, I think I could find the top, even if it takes me all day,"Liz laughed. "Having fun?"she asked a sJoe jumped from one tree to the next. She started climbing the tree she was on and the ball of fire climbed with her.

"Climbling is much better than walking." She said as she jumped to another tree. Below her she heard a ruste. "Shh, Liz do you hear that?" She asked trying to look down at the bottom of the forest. She wasn't that high, but hight enough not to be able to see much of the ground.

"Yeah,"Liz whispered. She climbed lower quietly. She had just gotten lower when it got louder. "Should I make the fire go out?"Liz asked.

Joe climbed closer over to Liz so they were in whispering range. "Probably." She said wondering what the sound was. She wrapped her arms and legs around the outreaching branch she was on.

Liz took a deep breath and the fire went out. She climbed a little lower but still couldn't see anything. She looked at Joe and smiled, she climbed lower still.

Joe looked down. She heard another snap of a twig. Her eyes looked over at the lower Liz. "Can you see what it is?" She whispered to her- hoping she wouldn't get too close. Just in case it was something to worry about. Joe didn't know what things were in a forest like this.

"No,"Liz whispered back. "Why can't you 'see' what it is?" She didn't care, she just wanted to know what it was.

"I look into the future you thick head." She said trying to adjust her eyes enough the see the ground. "Not the present. Future, present, future, present." She repeated.

"Well, can't you see what I'm going to see, it is technically the future,"Liz said. She climbed a little lower but still couldn't see anything.

ooc: I have to get off, but will be on later.

Joe rolled eyes. Okay- perhaps she wasn't the smartest. She chuckled softly and tried to see what was down their. It was just darkness. And then. "Oh god, I don't like spiders." She said starting to climb back towards the edge of the forest.

Reese, in true raccoon form, had followed Joe and Liz out to the forest. When the whole spider thing came up however, she reached a paw out to gently tug on Joe’s shirt. Hopefully Joe would understand what she meant. Turning into any large animal really, she could get the three of them out in a flash. She also gave a quiet little squeak as she looked down at the ground.

Liz looked up when Joe had said spiders, she hated them, she saw Reese in raccoon form tugging on Joe's shirt. She knew what it meant, she went to Reese and waited for Joe to notice her.

James yawned and walked outside. The sun hit him brightly and he squinted walking to the Lake. It was a perfect day for a swim. He took off his shitr and left his pants on exchaning his shoes for bare feet. He took his wand out of his pants and pointed his wand at them. "Fabrica bathing suit." he must have said something wrong because the next thing he knew he was wearing a bikini. Not what he was planning for. He pointed his wand again and muttered. "Fabrica men's bathin suit.' this time it did what it was told and he was left with some swimming trunks. He placed his wand down and took off towards the Lake jumping in.

Joe looked over the her side. A small raccoon was tugging at the robes she was wearing. She looked over at the small critter. Blaze could have at least said she was coming along. Joe laughed and nodded and climbed over the Liz.

"Why did it have to be spiders?"Liz asked. She waited for Reese to do her stuff.

"Giant spiders nonetheless." Okay now this seriously made Joe homesick. If it wasn't the cheesy robes, or the waking up early hours, or the teaching classes- this was it. "Like god in the states we don't have giant bloody spiders."

"Yes, that's true, nut don't forget this place is practically made out of magic,"Liz said. "I wonder if fire would hurt them."

"It could scare them away possibly?" She asked. She never really ever saw any spiders out during the day. So perhaps spiders just didn't like the light. Maybe these were no different. She hoped they were no different.

"Whatever you say,"Liz said. "I need to be on the forest floor though."

Now that she had the branch to herself, Reese turned back into a human. “So, am I up or are you going to take care of it Liz?” She asked, swinging her legs carelessly. “Because I’m kinda lost.”

Joe laughed. "Hey Reese- you can take me out right now." She hated spiders so much. The mere thought of them gave her the shivers. Gross, hair, eight legged, biting, disease carrying creatures. The thought of them giant was almost enough for her to scream. "Oh god I do hate spiders." She said to herself.

"I changed my mind, I'm going with you, Reese,"Lizzie said. She hated spiders and didn't look forward to even looking at them. "Maybe when we're out of this forest we could go swimming."
