On the other hand, there was someone completely new in the forest. He wasn't really too aware of the forest itself, so he was taking a cautious approach through the trees. His ears twitched occasionally here and there at every other sound. He didn't exactly want to go treking through the woods. Not in the least! There were bugs there. And bugs were scary!
But he had heard of the most wonderful view of the beach! That was sold up as something so great! And, naturally, he heard he could get down to the beach from it. Now Kris wasn't the smartest boy. He didn't realize one could probably just go to the beach and climb up. Instead, he elected to also go through the forest. Not the entire thing, however. A short cut through it.
So there he was. In a tanktop. Shorts. And some flippy flops. With a beach bag. "Maybe I should've worn something better and just changed at the beach. There was probably even a place to change there.
Of course, while he was moping about his current condition, he hadn't noticed that a bug had started to climb up on his foot. There was a brief pause as he glanced down at it before he let out a loud scream as he shook his foot violently, losing one of his precious purple flipflops, and then set his speed to the max as he tore through the forest - onto the cliff area!
His terror-filled run was bringing him straight towards a person he hadn't even seen yet - Mitch! And if she wasn't quick to react, that little pup boy was going to run straight into her!
