Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Year 1: Part 3: April Showers |..| IMPORTANT NEW ANNOUNCEMENT: All active members MUST read! 5/11

I looked up at the sound of my name, wondering who the heck was in the tree besides me. I hadn't seen anyone. It was Rhee. I should have known. I somewhat smiled at her in greeting as I tried to hide myself from Elissa's deathly glare.

(Wow... I haven't been on in forever! My computer freaked out... )

"Up here," I said. "The branches are thin. She won't be able to get to you without both of you falling."

"I'll probably just fall anyways. What have I got to lose?" I grinned as I joined her.

Drat. Aspen had found her little friend up in the tree. What was her name... Knee? Obviously not. Smee? Nope. That was the fat pirate man from Peter Pan. Aspen and I used to love that movie.... I shook the image from my head and began climbing up after her.

[rattyjol]

(XD)

"Here, this branch is strong enough to hold you," I said, pointing down at the one above her.

( I had just noticed that Smee and Rhee rhyme. And Knee. xD I think that's pretty clever... But maybe it's just me. )

I grabbed the branch and tried to pull myself up, nearly slipping.

[rattyjol]

"Careful. You need to keep your gravity centered."

I tried again, and succeeded in pulling myself up next to her.

I gripped the first branch tightly and climbed up with ease.

[rattyjol]

"Great," I said, scanning the branches above me. "Now... that one." I pointed to another.

I did as she told me, being careful not to trip.

(I gotta go TTYL Ratty! )

[rattyjol]

(Bye.)

"Awesome. Okay... this one now."
