((She is far more messed up than I had originally planned

))

"Get used to it," Wildfire growled at Eric. Amanda frowned.

"Be nice," she retorted. Wildfire rolled her eyes.

"Sorry!" she snapped. Amanda looked at Eric apologetically.

"You have no idea how messed up this really is," she said. Wildfire took over and brought her hand up to slap herself in the face.

"Now who's not being nice?" she demanded. The hand immediately began rubbing the face.

"You!" Wildfire screeched. "We're messed up, is that what you think?"

"You know we are," Amanda answered. The head nodded slowly.

"I suppose so," Wildfire said thoughtfully. Another slap to the face, this time on the other side. "Now quit beating us up about it!"

"Owww," Amanda groaned. "You're the one who keeps hitting us."

"Let's just shut up and dig," Wildfire said.

"Agreed." Then, turning to Eric, Amanda said, "Feel free to ride around the valley. I feel you should know that the entrance has been sealed thanks to my meaner side. You'll have to be content with the- ouch!" Her hand came up to rub her cheek again. "I thought you had agreed to knock that off!"

"Not until you apologize," Wildfire retorted. "Your meaner side? Just because I'm tough doesn't mean I'm mean."

"Fine," Amanda pouted. "Just shut up and dig, like we agreed." Turning back to Eric, she said, "As I was saying, you'll have to be content with the valley."

Amanda/Wildfire returned to her digging in silence.

Wildfire/Amanda worked in complete silence and was very efficient in the work she was doing. They were making good progress on the digging when suddenly, Wildfire's shovel went into the ground one last time. With a shriek, she disappeared from Tepe's view.

"I think we got it," her voice called up from somewhere. This was followed by a thud and a pained, "Owwww. Remind me not to do that again."

Black Knight of Keno · 06-18-2004, 05:06 AM

Tepe leaned over to see the hole they made. "You ok, Amanda?" He shouted and climbed up to see better. He tried to see throught the dust cloud in the air but at last he saw her standing up.

Writer · 06-18-2004, 05:09 AM

Amanda stared up at Tepe and grinned. "Sure, why not? No broken bones that I can feel, just a little bit of a big surprise drop." She laughed. "But, hey, we found what we were looking for, right?"

Black Knight of Keno · 06-18-2004, 05:24 AM

"Yeah. I'm going to get some rope from my sadle. Wait there!" Tepe shouted and ran to his horse. He took a rope from a small pike in the sadle and ran back. He threw the other end of the rope down and looked Amanda/Wildfire. "What do we do now, Wildfire?" Tepe asked, seeing that Wildfire was looking now around

Writer · 06-18-2004, 05:38 AM

"Oh, we'll just drop in here to get out of the valley and when we come back with supplies, we'll just use your rope to pull the stuff out," Wildfire answered sarcastically. Then, she started yelling. "WHAT DO YOU THINK WE'RE GOING TO DO??? THROW DOWN A SHOVEL." She attempted to calm down a little. "We have to make this a little more accessible. You work from that end and I'll work from this end."

Black Knight of Keno · 06-18-2004, 05:47 AM

"OK, OK!!!1!1½!1" Tepe shouted and throwed doen a shovel, trying to hit Wildfire in the head with the wooden part. He started digging again.

Writer · 06-18-2004, 01:51 PM

"OUCH!" She looked up out of the hole and rubbed her head. "You did that on purpose!"

She threw one of her boots at his head.

Black Knight of Keno · 06-18-2004, 03:05 PM

Tepe just got to dodge. "Hey! Take it easy!" He started digging until he noticed he had gotten his side allmost to the same stage as Amanda's/Wildfire's. "Hey! Wildfire! Whats with your side!" Tepe shouted and hit his shovel few inches to the ground.

Curt-Man · 06-18-2004, 08:16 PM

" umm, excuse me for interupting, but what are you doing? if there is anyway i coudl help, please tell me" eric says wiht sencerity(sp)

Writer · 06-22-2004, 07:16 AM

For a second, Wildfire/Amanda ignored Eric and called back to Tepe. "How can I tell? There's no way to tell from down here! Oh, and I want my boot back!"

Then, her mind registered what Eric had asked and Amanda's gentler voice called out of the hole. "If you'd like you can grab a shovel and help Tepe finish on that end."

Wildfire's harsher voice was next. "And hurry up with it!"

There was the sound of a slap. "OWWW!!!!"

"Be nice," Amanda's voice was gentle but stern. An angry sigh was followed by Wildfire's angry, "Fine."

"We'll shut up and dig now," Amanda said and did just that.

Curt-Man · 06-22-2004, 12:17 PM

" yes m'am" eric grabs a shovel and jumps down and starts helping tepe wiht the digging

Black Knight of Keno · 08-01-2004, 04:51 PM

Tepe rose up and hit his shovel deep into the ground next to the hole. A few hours had passed. Tepe whiped some sweat with his leeve and looked the hole. It had gotten deeper and better to travel throught. He looked down and saw Amanda. "Hey, Amanda, let's rest for a while" he shouted down and leaned on his shovel

Writer · 08-02-2004, 06:02 PM

Amanda looked up and nodded. "We could use a little rest."

She went into the shade inside the hole and sat down. It was still too deep for her to get out. She looked over her shoulder to the tunnel behind her and was glad the other end was so well hidden. Then, she looked back at Tepe.

"In a few more hours, we'll be able to ride our horses down here," she said.

Black Knight of Keno · 08-03-2004, 02:21 AM

Tepe nodded and smiled towards Amanda. Then he looked around them and took his shovel from the ground before sitting down. "A few more hours and I can kiss you again..." he smiled as he talked to Amanda

Curt-Man · 08-03-2004, 08:26 PM

"a few more hours and i can breathe..." eric murmered then got back to digging, he hit a huge boulder
"um, excuse me but it seems there is a boulder here we going to have to dig around it, that'll be a pain"

Writer · 08-04-2004, 05:29 PM

Amanda stood and walked over to the boulder. She grinned. "It's stuck pretty good here."

"But we know how to get it out of the way," Wildfire said quickly. Amanda's eyes widened and she shook her head.

"I think not," she answered. A long sigh. "You never did like explosives, Amanda."

"You always liked them too much, Wildfire," came the quick reply. Another sigh. "Fine. Tepe get some explosives. It seems that will be the best way to take care of this."

Black Knight of Keno · 08-05-2004, 03:47 AM

Tepe nodded and walked to his horse and took some dynamite from the saddlebag and soon walked to the boulder. He put the dynamite into a good position and then lit up the fuse. "Ok, fire in the hole!" he shouted and ran into a good safe place like the others. The dynamite exploded, collapsing some of the tunnels roof and destroying the boulder completely. "Ok, it's clear!" Tepe shouted and walked to the hole. "Well, seems like this side is finished" Tepe said, joking and smiling

Curt-Man · 08-05-2004, 11:58 PM

"hmm, dynamite, very useful, but clumsy at times, not my style, but i guess it works".
Eric shook his head slightly and waited for further instructions.

Writer · 08-06-2004, 12:29 AM

Amanda looked up out of the now gaping hole and smiled. "If that side's good, so's this one. We're done!"

She could now climb out of the hole on her own and she immediately went to give Tepe a big hug.

"I'm glad I didn't have to spend the night down there," she whispered.

Black Knight of Keno · 08-06-2004, 05:20 AM

Tepe hugged her back and looked her in the eyes. "Yeah, I'm glad too" he whispered and gave her a deep kiss.

Curt-Man · 08-06-2004, 09:14 PM

Eric looked around satisfied and walked out he put his shovel down and cleaned himself up, he went over to the horses and fed them and groomed them, he had a great appreciation for horses, more then 200 pounds of muscle, and is incredibly fast.

Writer · 08-06-2004, 11:40 PM

Amanda wondered why part of her was still surprised when Tepe showed his emotions by kissing her. They had been that close for months now. Why was it so strange to her? Was it Wildfire's rough-and-toughness objecting to something as sensitive as a kiss? Amanda assumed this was true. In a few seconds, the kiss was over and Amanda smiled.

"Would you like some dinner now?" she asked happily.

Black Knight of Keno · 08-07-2004, 01:03 AM

"I would love some" he whispered and looked at Amanda as they were breaking from the hug
