Sup dudios

here's part 5 ummmmmm yeah hope you love it!

It had been some time of us talking, just chatting about ourselves. I learned quite a bit about Brock, that his favourite colour was lime green, for example. I also learned that he always dreamed of having a pet wallaby (for some reason), he loved oreo ice cream, he liked reading and he has a younger brother, aged 14. Yup, I was surprised too, Brock informed me of how he himself, was always the main focus of his parents, as he was the next to the throne. His brother had always been in the background, a sort of "this is Billy, okay let's move on" sort of thing at formal events. But, this didn't mean his parents didn't care about him, he and Brock were very close and with a good relationship, he was just as important in the family. As King though, he was only counted on as a backup plan (I learned that it usually works like that).

And by the way, his name was not Billy, it was Emerson, which I liked a lot. 

I told Brock quite a bit about myself as well, which he found just as interesting as I found him. What can I say? I like learning about my friends. Wait, did I just say friend? I meant the guy who's ass I was saving. Sorry, my bad.

This conversation lasted over an hour, I wasn't exactly keeping track of time though, so I wasn't sure. We were seated comfortably on our rocks, facing each other and time did pass quickly. We then realized that we have a rose to pick, we got up and navigated where we should head next.

"Why don't we continue along the stream, I am quite positive that it goes to that part of the woods that we are trying to reach," Brock suggested, thinking a bit.

"I mean, you are leading the way so, I agree," I nodded as we settled with his idea.

And we set off again, this time over a more consistent ground, not many obstacles to tire us out. We were rested and full of energy, ready to take on whatever came our way. In this case, it wasn't much, just a flat surface, some grass and miles to go.

Our steps were quick, we moved faster than before, with the loud stream rushing beside us. The weather was nice and I was feeling great, strangely. My mind was wandering, I was thinking of random things, the things Brock told me in mind. I took out my phone once again, only to find it was 12:33 pm, sighing, I continued walking, undisturbed this time. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We walked for a couple of hours, which was much more tiring than it seems. What can I say? I'm not very athletically built. We started coming closer to a hill, a tall one and it seemed more like a small mountain. We didn't walk past it, however, we began walking up it. I confused by this, cleared my throat and asked,

"What in this journey requires to go up a mini-mountain thing?"

"It's easier," Brock replied, simply.

"How?" I persisted, still not understanding.

"Well," Brock turned to face me, "if we were to go to the right of the mountain, we would have to walk through water when we get about 10 feet away from here, which is not convenient. And if we were to take the other side, the left one, we would have to walk around the mountain thing, as you call it. That would take a considerable amount of time more and we would get further away from the stream, which we wouldn't want."

Taking in all that he just said, I nodded and started walking again, "okay."

Brock continued walking after me as we climbed the tiny mountain. I must say, this part of the forest was indeed new and interesting. For one, I haven't died from that water I drank earlier, which I thought would undoubtedly happen in around 10 minutes. Also, it just seemed different, how can I explain it? It was just all so perfect as if someone drew it out and designed it. Now, at first, I was sure I was dreaming and that I would snap out soon. But I'm sure anyone could agree, this is way too realistic for a dream, as well as too crazy for reality. I was in a state of confusion, what was left of my brain was hurting. I mean, what was happening? I was sure that if I didn't think about it, it would all end, my dream. Well, there I was, walking up a mini-mountain next to so random guy that lived in the forest, convinced that I was saving his life. And I was, but putting mine in danger at the same time.

At that time though, I wasn't thinking of those things, I was completely engulfed in another thought. I was staring off to the left of where we were walking. Suddenly, I stopped. Brock turned from ahead, rolling his eyes and walking up to me. 

"What?" he questioned, slightly amused at my expression.

I was staring with a horrified expression onto a field of grass where stood an animal. Not just any animal, a fucking mountain goat! Brock looked at it, then at me and started laughing. 

I just stood there, clutching my basket, terrified and dazed. Brock laughed almost hysterically,

"Dude, are you okay?" he asked, wheezing.

"No! That's a goat!" I exclaimed.

Breathing deeply to calm down, Brock said, "Yeah it's a goat."

"It's scary!" I cried, finally looking away from the harmless-looking animal.

"You continue to fascinate me! Are you afraid of goats or something?" Brock asked, amused.

"Yes," I said, frowning.

"Oh, sorry dude. Is it like a phobia or something?" he questioned, smiling.

"Not really, I'm just afraid of goats."

"Well, this is where we switch roles and have to save your ass from the harmless goat, let's go, " Brock laughed, putting his arm around my shoulder and leading me away from the goat.

 It just stood there, it's white coat clean and beautiful, munching on grass, not bothering anyone, except me that is. It looked after us, probably thinking "what idiots".

Having recovered from my fright of the mountain goat, I walked beside Brock, like before. Though now, I felt hungry and, remembering that I have danishes in my basket, took one out and took a bite. Brock turned to me and gave me a dirty look before reaching out his open palm. Catching on, I handed him a danish as well.

Where we were now walking was a dirt path, in the middle of two big fields of very green grass. As you might assume, we were indeed on the top of a small mountain, which happened to be very flat on the tp, so flat that all the land in sight was flat. There were steep sides though, to this mountain, it was a struggle to climb up to where we were. There was not a single tree in sight from where we were, the ground around us seemed as if someone just layed it out, which I must admit, scared me a bit.

I could tell we were coming up to the end of the journey over the mountain. I could hear a loud noise, that sounded like water. As we came up to the edge of the mountain, on the right of us, there was a waterfall. It was small, but still intimidating and roaring. I turned to Brock and looked at him dead in the eye,

"A waterfall?"

"Yeah, " he replied, confused.

"Nice, "I said, putting my basket down and leaning down to touch the water. And yes, I understand it was a bad idea but I didn't die. The water was ice cold, which caused me to retreat my hand immediately. Getting back up from my squat position, I knocked over my basket with my foot and before I could react, it fell down the waterfall and into the water.

Everything happened so fast that, I just drooped my shoulders and looked at Brock, disappointed. 

"What?" he asked.

"There go my danishes," I replied sadly.

"Is it my fault?" he said, raising his hands in defence.

"Well, I liked those danishes," I frowned like a toddler.

"It's okay, they wouldn't have lasted us the entire time anyway," Brock comforted me.

He patted my back and shooed me away from the waterfall. We continued walking, with no basket, as we started descending the mountain.

Hi guys

So I actually followed my schedule and I'm proud of myself

Hope you enjoyed this chapter, don't forget to comment and vote

Also, you can imagine Brock's brother like Emerson if you want I just liked the name, but that comes in later so you have time to decide.

ooo and, I based Rider's fear of goats off of mine so that's cool I guess
