"Great!! So we are stuck in a pit of sand and mud and have no way of getting out, oh and one more thing, no food!!"

Madeline pulled her feet out of the mud so she could walk closer to the rest of the emu stuck with her.

"Er... help!" she shouted out into the trees around them.

"Someone? Anyone?!" she waved her wings in the air trying to get her and her and friends seen, "Hello! Is anyone there."

"Oh man, whats the point!?!" said Madeline falling on her back in the mud.

"Does anyone have any food? 'Cause I'm starving!" questioned Madeline, as at last she let someone else speak.

[orkahm52]

Yup, as many emus as you like, but try to keep them organized.

Entry 1:
Name: Orkahm
Gender: Boy
Equipment: Rope, Cricket hat, Paper cup (empty)

Entry 2:
Name: Goggles
Gender: Boy
Equipment: Glasses, pad, and pen
Other: Very nerdy

Orkahm walked up to Madeline. "I have a cup, and we could fill it up with swamp water...if we are really desperate."

Goggles began examining some mud and sticks, and wrote some stuff down on his paper.
He yawned. "We have two options: To choose one direction and try to find our way out, or we could just look for food.
"By looking at the water quantity of this piece of dirt, it seems we are a about in the middle of a very large swamp, so the second option would be..."

"Ok, ok," said Orkahm, walking up to Goggles. "I think we should do the second option."

Goggles scratched his beak with his wing. "Ok," he replied.

"I guess we better elect a leader," said Orkahm, "Any willing candidates?"

_{EDIT: Yay! 10th post!}

[madeline88]

I knew you would have a nerd!!!

2nd emu:
Name: Teana
Gender: girl
Equipment: lip/beak-gloss brush
Other: Shy, but pretty

"No way Orkahm! I am not drinking muddy water, I'm no that hungry, not now at least," Madleine said as she looked down at her tummy and guessed that they would be here for a long time.

"Well, I could try out for leader," said Madeline, "Right, first Orkahm you get some water just in case we can't find anything else to eat, Goggles you go out, not too far, and get all the food you can find out there." Madeline pointed out to the left.

"Er Madeline, no one has--" Teana tryed to say but Madeline started up again with more directions.

"I will go over there," Madeline added as she point to the right this time.

"Madeline!" said Teana a little louder this time.

"And Teana, you go er... help Orkahm,"

"Madeline!!" screamed Teana, this time Madeline looked at her, "no one has said that they want you to be the leader, so just wait a second," finished Teana.

[orkahm52]

Goggles and Orkahm made comments like "Ok" "Um" "Sure" and "Whatever you say" as Madeline spoke.

"Yes," said Orkahm, agreeing with Teana,"maybe we should er...vote for the leader."

Goggles scratched his beak again, "We only have one candidate so, Madeline is immediatly the leader."

"Not if you want to be a leader," said Orkahm, "Cmon you would do a great job."

"Um...okay, I guess." He walked over to Madeline.

"Teana?" called Orkahm, "Who do you vote for?"

[madeline88]

"Me! She is going to vote for me!" shouted Madeline jumping up and down with her wing lifted up.

"Um... I think I will vote for... I'm going to vote for Googles," she said looking shyly at him.

Madeline pulled a face, not know what to say to Teana after she had not voted for her.

"Right, well Orkahm will vote for me won't he?" said Madeline looking hopfully at Orkahm.

"Don't presher them, Madeline," said Teana.

[orkahm52]

"Uh, I, uh," stammered Orkahm, "Goggles."

Goggles looked at Orkahm and then Teana and then Orkahm again.

"Well that settles it, then," said Orkahm, "Goggles will lead us."

[madeline88]

"No, no, no! Why was it not me!" screamed Madeline jumping up and down and making mud splash everywhere.

"Oh, I don't know..." said Teana rolling her eyes. (sorry I just really wanted to do that smily)

"Oh! Well! I guess I'll be going then!" Madeline stepped one step with her funny backward walk then stopped, "well... aren't you going to try and get me to stay or something?" Madeline remarked look from Teana to Orkahm then to Googles.

"Well, I don't think I would be wise to go out there alone, but whatever you want to do, you want to do," replyed Teana not trying to make it sound like she would miss Madeline, but trying not to be too harsh.

"Oh yeah? I bet I could walk for 2 days and still find my way back here, and I wouldn't get hungry!" Madeline said standing up tall.

"Okay then! Try!" Teana barked back.

"Well maybe I will!" shouted Madeline. And with that she left the others and walked off into the trees around them.

But Teana began to wonder if she would make it back, how would they know if she was dead or not? Then she had an idea.

"Madeline! How long will you stay out there?" screamed Teana.

"2 days!" Madeline shouted back, "bye!" said Madeline waving her wing out, waving goodbye.

Then it hit Teana that she would see Madeline again a long time (2 days might not be long, but they are if your best friend is not with you), though she wasn't the nicest of them, she was a good friend sometimes. (and that one, too)

[orkahm52]

Goggles, and Orkahm looked at Madeline, awesmacked at how quickly she ran off.

"Eh, see ya..." said Orkahm. He turned to Goggles, "Well, your the leader now so what do you think we should do?"

Goggles scratched his head, "I don't know, I didn't really want this job, cause I'm not good at bossing people around. (Sniff) I think maybe Madeline would have done a better job than me."

Goggles ran a few paces away from the others and sat down.

Orkahm looked at Teana. "Uh oh."

[rapunzel247]

Name: Rapunzel
Gender: Girl
Equipment: safari suit, empty water bottle, rope
Other: Being lost is starting to take effect...

Name: Professor
Gender: Boy
Equipment: safari suit, monocle
Other: A spot nutty I'd say

******

The pretty girl emu stumbled through the swamp, turning her head back and forth. She tripped and fell back on her bottom.

"Ohhh," she moaned. "Professor? Hey, Professor!"

The emu, Rapunzel, and the Professor had started on this expedition four days ago. It hadn't started well. Firstly, they'd had trouble getting their plane into the air and when they finally did it crashed in the middle of this swamp. They'd meant to go to the desert a bit further north, or west, perhaps south. Rapunzel couldn't remember now. Nor could she remember which way they'd come from. In short, she was lost. And so was the Professor. She couldn't find him any where!

******

The old emu trotted through the swamp. He looked this way and that, periodically stopping to study his surroundings. There was always something new to see.

"Gurgle!"

"Hello?" The Professor turned a quick circle, looking for the source of the sound.

"G-g-gurgle! Pop!"

"I say, sir, I don't understand you. If you want my help, you'll have to speak Australian."

"Pop! Splat! Gurgle, splat!"

The Professor followed his ear toward the sound. Suddenly he found himself knee deep in swampy muck.

"Oops."

He flailed his wings about. "Help! Help!"

******

OoC || Goggles, Orkahm, Teana and maybe Madeline could hear the Professor shouting.

[madeline88]

Teana didn't really know why Googles didn't want to be leader, she thought that he would be a great leader, he would way up every move they made to make shore that it was the best they could do, and he didn't have to be bossie.

And then there was the other thing, why did it seem as though Googles missed Madeline?

Teana looked out to where Madeline had ran off with a little fire of anger. Did Googles... Teana quickly forgot that thought as she hread some screaming from somewhere, it was not Googles or Orkahm.

"Can you here that?" asked Teana looking around, "oh no! it's must be Madeline!" screamed Teana.

^ ^ ^

Madeline ran as fast as she could away from the others, she could only just see them, but she was sure they couldn't see her.

"Right," said Madeline looking around the mud and rocks and trees, not a 5 star hotel, but it would do for the time being.

She had a plan, she would just stay out here for 2 days then come back up to there camp, she would make her self look like she had been running around for 2 days, but really she would have just sleep and eaten.

She patted down some leaves and rocks and sand to make herself a little nest, and set herself down on the little nest and tried to sleep, but, you guessed it, she couldn't sleep all she could think about was Teana, Googles and Orkahm.

[orkahm52]

"Uh, oh," said Orkahm again, "She's already got herself into trouble."

Orkahm spun around, "Teana, why don't we go and look for her. Goggles should be on his own." He turned back to Goggles, "Am I right?"

"Okay," sniffed Goggles.

He must be a bit stressed, thought Orkahm.

[madeline88]

"Good id--" Teana stopped in her tracks. "I don't think thats Madeline! It's sounds like a boy" said Teana.

"What do you think?" asked Teana looking at Orkahm and then Googles, then Orkahm.

* * *

Madeline heard something coming from over at the "camp site" where the rest of her friends where.

'What if something happened to them,' she thought to herself, 'I've got to go find them.'

She ran off to the rest of her friends still hearing the screaming.

[orkahm52]

"Hmmm, yes," said Orkahm, "But, we should still look for them. Maybe they have some stuff we could use."

Orkahm lead the way, following his ear.

"Hello?" said Orkahm, "I'm Orkahm, and I've come to help."

"The Orkahm?" ;D

OoC || Rofl, Ork, rofl

"Oh, thank goodness!" The Professor reached out his wing toward the younger emu. He accidentally splatted mud all over him. "Give me your wing boy."

******

Rapunzel trudged through the thick swamp plants. She noted that darkness was beginning to fall.

"Not another night," she muttered. She shuddered. "I'd better find somewhere to sleep."

One last time she called, "Professor!" She waited. There was no reply.

She turned to find a shelter for the night and thought to herself I really don't want to leave him out here alone at night. I hope he'll be okay.

Suddenly she stopped. She thingyed her head. Had she really heard something?

"Pardon?" she whispered.

"Help!"

"Professor?" Rapunzel turned and started running toward the voice. "Professor! I'm coming!"

Rapunzel sprinted through the plants. She leapt a log and landed running. She was glad emu's could run so fast. She had to get to the Professor before... anything else.

She burst through the over hanging branches of a large tree to see the Professor waste deep in muck and a mud covered being standing over him.

"Noo!" Rapunzel dived at the mud covered thing, smashing him to the ground. "Don't touch the Professor!" She lifted her wing to hit the thing she was now sitting on.
