Yo all readers!

Chapter six: The trip to Vivay – part one




Next morning Stranger woke up early, as usual and went out from the sleeping room. The first he saw was Frey, who was sitting on a chair, meditating. “ He’s quite cool for being a Wolclark”, Stranger thought as he sneaked on his hooves to make sure he didn’t interrupted the Oracle. When he just was about to pull the door handle, the Oracle said straight on the point:

- You’re up early…
- Yeah, I often am… I guess. Just an old habit I have, answered Stranger and sighed.
- I know…you’re filled with questions. Questions with curiosity and questions with fear…
Stranger turned around and looked hesitant at Frey. He asked:

- Frey… I was wondering…you mentioned yesterday about a General leader for the tribes and I wonder whose…
- … Going to be the leader? Well didn’t I tell you that, my young friend, asked Frey as he rose up from his chair and walked towards Stranger.
Stranger shakes his head.

- I didn’t? Oh sorry. Well then let me tell you. An old prophecy says; that the General leader will not have any connections to the leaders themselves. He is just an ordinary inhabitant from a village. He has been through much terrible things in his life and together with the Grubbs they’d killed the most dangerous creature in the whole Mongo Valley…
- …Sekto, Stranger asked.
- Yes, Sekto. Stranger you see… I know you’ve been through much. And it’s going to be tougher.
- … Oracle, began Stranger as he turned around once more,… am I the one who’s going to be the General leader?
- Yes Stranger, it’s you, answered the Wolclark as he laid his hand on Stranger’s shoulder and patted it.


At the same time the Grubb woke up and rubbed her eyes. She rose up from her bed and went out. Well outside the sleeping room, she saw Frey and her friend.

- Well you guys are surely up early in the mornings, aren’t you? Eh Stranger have you slept well, asked the Leader.
- I slept like a log, he he, you, asked Stranger.
- Same here… hey Frey you said you should fix our provisions, shouldn’t you?
- Yes and the provisions are finished. I’ve laid it in your rucksack. Oh and by the way I’d put an extra blanket in your rucksack to, so you won’t freeze on the journey.
- You mentioned a guy called Vivay… the Steef leader of the east…
- What about him?
- How are we going to, you know…Stranger stuttered.
- Tell him about the general leadership? Oh don’t you worry about that, my friend. You’ll figure it out somehow on the way. Vivay is kind of laid-back so he won’t be a problem for you. Anyway you should be off now so you can reach Vivay’s place before it’s getting too dark to see.

The Leader and Stranger looked at each other and nodded. Then they went back to the sleeping room to get dressed.

See Ya!

I knew it! Poor ol' Stranger, nothing every goes simply for him does it? Yeh, I like this bit as well DS. And waiting on tacks for the next bit.

[odd chick]

Heh, I figured that Stranger was the one who was going to be the General leader. Anyway, that was an interesting chapter, DS.....it seems that the story is going to get even better later than it is now-and it's already a good story. Keep up the good work!

[Dancing Steef]

hehe thanx guys for the comments and here's the new part of me story. I hope you'll like it as well.



They went out from the house with Frey and said goodbye to him.

- Be careful my friends and may the spirits of the Steefguardians be with you, said the Wolclark as he waved his hand back and forth.
- We will, said the Leader as she and Stranger went away to their new direction; to Vivay’s home.



* * * * *



“Noon” the Leader thought as looked up to the sky at the sun. Her stomach rumbled and she began thinking of their food that the Oracle had made for them. She stopped walking and took her rucksack of her back and put it on the sandy ground. Stranger, who still was walking. Stopped and turned around. He asked:

- What are you doing? We can’t stop now; we got to move on to Vivay’s place before it’s getting to dark.
- My stomach’s rumbling and that usually means that my body needs something to eat… and by the way I thought you were hungry to, am I right, answered the Leader and began open the rucksack and taking the lunch boxes out.
- Well when you’re asking… a little bit…
- I thought so. Then let see what Frey has made for us, shall we?

The Leader opened one of the boxes and gloated with a chock on the food. Stranger looked at it and smelled.
- Well, asked the Leader with a bit of uncertainty while she looked at the Steef.
- It’s not bad, but I wonder if it tastes as much as it smells, answered Stranger as he grabbed the box.
- Are there any flatwares in your rucksack, he finally asked the Grubb

The Grubb nodded and picked up a fork from her pack and handled it over to her friend. Stranger took the fork and tucked away some of the creepy grub in to his mouth.
- How did it taste? Stranger, asked the Leader.

Stranger swallowed the piece of food and answered:

- Hmmm…! This is good stuff! That Wolclark is one heck of a good cook if you ask me… try it out yourself you’ll love it!

The Grubb opened the other box and picked up a fork from her pack as well and began to eat. She chewed a couple of times and swallowed it. She enjoyed it.

- Wow… Oh my Odd you’re right Stranger that Frey is truly one heck of a good… or a very good cook!
- I knew you would like it. C’mon let’s finish our meal and then we continue the trip.

The Grubb agreed and sustained eating her foodstuff.


See Ya guys tomorrow! I got to go now my parents are waiting at me so I better hurry up.

[odd chick]

Although, if I must be honest, some of your other chapters were better than this one, I did enjoy reading this one. It seems that Stranger and the Leader are getting along just fine. I can't wait to see what else happens.

*reading the chapter once more*

yeah yer right about that... I guess I didn't read through the whole chapter a lil bit closer than the other ones, but thanx for the critique though Odd Chick! I'll think about that till next time

anyway I'm about to write the next one soon and then it'll be both well done and also more exciting then before

See Ya!

- DS

[odd chick]

Ok, that sounds great. It wasn't that the chapter was bad-it was far from that. It was just that it was a bit shorter and less-descriptive than your previous ones. But that's ok-I have some in my stories that are like that as well. I'll be waiting for the other chapters!

[Dancing Steef]

Hi everyone! thanx for yer comments and here's some more on me story.

Enjoy


- Stranger, the Grubb began to ask the Steef while they were walking on the road.
- Yes? What is it, Stranger confirmed.
- Well err… I was wondering how are we going to tell Vivay about the General leadership? I mean he wouldn’t trust you that easy… at least I wouldn’t if I was in his clothes.

Stranger looked at her and said with astonishment:
- What do you mean by that?
- …Err well a Steef leader used to be pretty stubborn and can get very angry if somebody tries to take his place… so if you’re going to tell him about the General leadership then you might have to…
- What? What do I have to do?

The Grubb stopped walking and so did Stranger. She looked down. Stranger tried to make eye contact with her and kneeled. He asked:

- What is it? Is there something you want to talk about?

The Leader looked at her friend with a little bit confusion in her eyes. She answered with a sigh:
- I’m not sure if this will work but… if you try to make impression on Vivay by telling him about that you defeated the Sekto demon or… wait that might sound too weird to tell…
- Eh wait a minute! That’s it! If we try to…
- We? We! Not “we” but you! You’re the chosen one so you got to tell him. By the way I’m not supposed to become a leader, am I? I’m already the leader of the Grubbs. It’s your move Stranger.
- But I thought you would help me, wouldn’t you?
- Well yes but, the Leader stuttered.
Stranger stared at her with a pleading look. He begged with a grin on his face and said:
- Please…
- Oh you, you little son of a toad! Ah it can’t get worse than this… oh all right I’ll help you out but, only if you do the talking.
- Of course. But you’ll give me some tips and re-freshing up what I’m going to say, said Stranger with a smirk while he started walk away.
- … Uh Stranger you better not be that selfish you know, said the Grubb sarcastic while she ran after him.
- Why not? A little egoism is allowed, isn’t it?
- Not if you’re going to become a great leader, answered the Leader.
- Who has told me to be a great Steef leader? The Oracle or you?
- The people want and wish that a leader, like you, to be non-selfish and it would be a terrible thing if you weren’t.
- Yeah. Guess you’re right ‘bout that. But c’mon seriously I’m not the kind of guy to lead a whole flock of Steefs. I don’t have the spirit of leading…
- We’ll see about that my friend, we’ll see ‘bout that… perhaps something or someone will make you change your mind.

[LoboDiabloLoneWolf]

*grins manically and brandishes a pin* This'll pop Stranger's ego quite nicely don't ya think? Yeh, still lovin' yer story, but me thinks Vivay might just ground Stranger into the dirt...let's hope Stranger can fight alright, or else he might just get clobbered...

[odd chick]

Nice work, DS. There's only one little thing that I spotted that could be improved and it was this:

"Yes? What is it, Stranger confirmed."

That should say "Stranger asked" because "confirmed" is not really the right word to use for that statement. Other than that, it was a great chapter. It seems that Stranger's starting to get a bit demanding, isn't he?

[Dancing Steef]

thanx Odd Chick for checking my chapter and my grammar as well and sorry I've not updated this thread... I've been ill the whole week, having a cold anyway I'll send a or some new chapters next week if I have time... ya see I and my classmates are going to set up a musical at school. I don't know when, but probably soon and I have to be there working.

anyhow... next week I'll send in more... I hope

See Ya!

-DS

[odd chick]

Hey, it's ok. I know what it's like to be sick-I stay that way! Well, we'll still be waiting! I hope you feel better soon!

[Dancing Steef]

thanx Odd Chick! and here's more story as I've promised, hope you like it



Chapter six: The trip to Vivay – part two






The darkness soon captured the day and turned it to night. Stars were glittering and the moon lighted up the whole forest with it’s borrowed light from the sun. Stranger and the Leader had just raised their tent and were about to go to bed. The Steef who sat outside it looked up at the sky and watched on the stars, how they blinked and shined like tiny diamonds.

- Aren’t they beautiful asked the Grubb while she went out from the tent and sat down beside him.
- Yeah they sure are, but you know… I was thinking ‘bout the leadership again and I’m kind of nervous, answered Stranger.
- Nervous? You? Ah you’ll get over it. It’s just unusual for you to see other Steefs whom you’ve never met before… but you have to be thinking about your speech.
- My speech? Oh you mean the talk with Vivay the Steef leader? Well it’s coming.
- What do you mean by “it’s coming?”, asked the Grubb while she looked at him with curiosity.
- You’ll see, my friend you’ll see, answered Stranger with a smirk.
- Oh, c’mon Stranger tell me, I want to know!
- You’re curios huh? Nope I’ll not tell until we reach Vivay’s home, said Stranger as he rose up from his sitting position and went inside the tent.
The Grubb ran after him and fast as a snake she grabbed one of the Steefs legs.

- Eh what the hell are you doing? Are you nuts or what, asked Stranger with a surprised voice.
- I’m not nuts but I’m very stubborn, answered the Grubb, still holding the Steef leg.
Stranger sighed and said:

- Awww… all right I’ll tell you, but only if you let go of my leg.

The Grubb did what he told her to do and sat down on the blanket with him. Stranger, who was tired after the wandering through the swamp, lay down on it. The Grubb Leader crawled up closer to him and said with eagerness:

- Stranger I know you’re tired after the wandering but you said you should tell me…
- Hrrm… the Steef blurred in a low voice.
- Stranger! Oh, c’mon you lazy beast tell me, the Grubb said while she tried to overturn him, but it didn’t work.

She tried one more time but it was useless. Stranger, who was completely ignoring her, didn’t notice that the Grubb was taking a run at him. Just as he turned around to see what his friend was up to, then she smashed him right in his chest.

- Ouch! What’s wrong…with you? I’m trying to get some sleep here but you’re just stopping me, why?
- You said you should tell me ‘bout your speech, shouldn’t you? And by the way, you told me to give you some notices or some tips when it comes to talking in front of leaders.
- You and your damn speech, said Stranger as he turned around again and laid his hands on his stomach.
- Ahhh forget it! You’re impossible; the Leader finally said as she also goes to sleep with anger and disappointment.


See Ya!


-DS

[LoboDiabloLoneWolf]

ROTFL!

That was hilarious!

Oh, c’mon you lazy beast

Is definitly my favourite bit...in fact, the whole thing was rip-roaringly funny, kudos Dancin' Steef! Absolutely adore how Stranger and the Grubb Leader interact, they're really amsuing for lack of a better word.

All in all, love this bit, probably my favourite fragment... Sorry, but you'll havta wait a bit for Oddworld Just Got Stranger to be update, *mutters about writer's block * but I'll get some up as soon as I get some ideas.

[odd chick]

Hehe, interesting chapter, there, DS. I wonder why Stranger doesn't want to discuss his speech with her. Nice work.

[Dancing Steef]

glad ya both liked it and more is on the way... but not until next week am afraid


KIDING!


here's, well a small part of the story, I haven't got so much time left... sorry if I'm irritating ya guys. Nothing personal...



Early next morning the Grubb went out from the tent and walked to a little creek, which wasn’t too far away from their camp. “Ahh time to get a bath, hope Stranger won’t be wakening up while I’m gone… oh well I better hurry up before it’s too late”, the Leader thought as she walked away.

Well there she laid her towel, which she had brought with her from the beginning of the journey, on a pebble. Just when she was about to walk into the water she heard a splash. The splash seemed to come downstream. The Grubb turned around but she couldn’t see anyone.
“ I wonder what could’ve caused the sound…best hurry up”, she thought while she fast walked into the water.



* * * * *


At the same time as she was bathing, Stranger was waking up from his sleep. He knew that the Grubb had left, she had almost the whole trip been talking about getting a bath, so he didn’t get worried. Stranger decided to think about his speech a little closer. After all he had to prepare himself a bit more.

- How am I going to begin, he thought as he sat up, what can be interesting for a leader to hear? Hmmm… Oh mighty Steef leader I and my friend here has travelled far away just… ah this ain’t working, what’s taking the Grubb so long? She should be here by now… perhaps she’s just taking it easy.



See Ya!


- DS

[LoboDiabloLoneWolf]

Awwwww, Stranger's having problems with his speech, poor guy, well he should have asked the Grubb Leader shouldn't he? How very like a bloke. Yet again, nicely amusing but me thinks that the Leader is in for a bit of trouble...

[odd chick]

Nice work with that bit, DS. Sorry it took me so long to reply-I've been busy lately. You left just enough suspense to make us anticipate the next chapter. Good job.

[Dancing Steef]

YO!


phew I managed to write a new part of the story hehe thanx everybody for readin' and here's more


Chapter six: The trip to Vivay – part three (The Ambush)




The Grubb Leader had just finished her bathing, when she heard a sound from some bushes ‘bout ten meters behind her. She took the towel and wrapped in her with it and just when she was about to go back to the camp, two big Steef males with great armour and huge horns jumped out from their hideout. The Leader screamed with horror, which echoed through the forest. Stranger, who still was sitting in the tent, heard the scream, rose up from his position and ran out.

* * * *

Well there he saw the two Steefs, holding the Grubb, who was tied up in ropes. Stranger roared while he reared and prided himself with anger. The Steefs turned around and looked at him with wonder and prepared themselves for battle. They laid the Grubb on the grass and re-loaded their crossbows. And so did Stranger as well. He ran down the hill and began to fire a thudslug at one of them. The Steef fell down to the ground with one swollen and black eye. The other one bent over his friend and shouted with fear and anger:

- Stop! Don’t fire, please don’t!

Stranger held his fire, but he still aimed at them. The Steef continued:

- I don’t know whom you are, but I’m still going to find out… who do you think you are? And what sort of things made you to come here at this moment?
- They calls me Stranger and I’m seeking a… Steef leader named Vivay. You know him, asked Stranger.
- Vivay?! Hrrm… well of course I do. I’m one of the leader’s bodyguards and guardians… what do want from him asked the Steef while he stood up.
- That’s none of your business. Can you tell me where he is?
- I’m not sure if I can trust you, not after what you did to my brother here, said the Steef with angerness.
- Sorry ‘bout that, but I thought you’d going to hurt my Grubb and that’s a big threat to me…
- Don’t tell him, the Steef’s bro commanded him, still achy.

There was silence. Suddenly the Steef, who was standing over his brother rose up and said:

- Well looks like I don’t have any other choice than to tell you… the leader use to call me Thunder and my brother Stormous. We’re here to protect Vivay’s territories and we’re not the only ones who do. We might be the only ones who guard this place but there are others who guard other places, which the leader owns.
- All right, that makes sense, said Stranger as he lower his bow.
- Uh excuse me, but can someone help me get out of these ropes, the Grubb asked cocky.
- Oh sorry, Thunder said as he went to untie the ropes.
- Crazy Steefs… attacking a Grubb when she’s taking it easy and trying to relax, what an audacity, the Leader said as she snorted.
Stranger helped Stormous up on his reeling legs. Stormous, who still held one of his hands over the wounded eye nodded and said:
- Thanks…
- You’re welcome, err sorry ‘bout the black eye…
- It’s all right Stranger, just don’t do it again.
- Hehe, no I won’t, answered Stranger as he patted him on the shoulder.

[LoboDiabloLoneWolf]

Heeeee! Steef! Whupee! He found 'em! Ooo, what's gonna happen now??? *bounces up and down* Oo oo oo, hurry up with another update!

[Dancing Steef]

N' I'm still lookin' forward to read more of yers

well I gotta work now but I see ya soon

- DS

[odd chick]

Hey, sorry I didn't reply sooner. By the way, that chapter was a good one, DS. It kept my interest and that's one of the most important things about a fanfic. Nice job.

[Dancing Steef]

Ey thanx Lobo n' Odd Chick for reading me story, wheeee I'll send in a new part today so... see ya then

[Dancing Steef]

hello everyone and here's a new part of the story enjoy...


They all four sat down outside the camp beside a fire, which Stormous and Stranger had made, while Thunder told Stranger and the Grubb about their leader. Many things made Stranger pretty amazed.
- Our great leader Vivay has for a long time leaded us with wisdom and justice, there’s no other than him who has the spirit of leading, said Thunder as he nodded to Stormous.
- He has always and will forever be the one who’s going to lead us… except when he’s gone of course, but then his son’ll take over, Stormous added.
- Stranger and I have heard that Vivay is a quite lazy and irrespective of the people themselves, the Grubb Leader said sarcastic.
- From who have you heard it, asked Thunder while he looked at the Grubb with anger.

Then Stranger rose up from his position and said, both with an anxious and protectively voice:
- From an Oracle whose wisdom and abilities are great, compared to yours. Besides I believe that you only said so, ‘cause your leader has told or maybe persuaded you…
Thunder got angry and just when he and Stranger seemed about to start a fight then Stormous rose up with eager and shouted:

- Enough of you two! Thunder you surprises me a lot when it comes to responsibility and knowledge… you’re even older than this Steef here. Set a good example for being the oldest and wisest of us, for Odd sake! And for you Stranger, Stranger looked at the disappointed guardian, you should be more aware of that a great Steef leader, like Vivay should be more respected or otherwise you won’t be able to set your foot within an inch in Vivay’s village… I’ll tell you sonny you’re not allowed to start a fight unless it’s not threating you or your friend here. This is just important information I give you so, DON’T SCREW IT UP! Understood?
- Understood, Stranger said ashamed.
- Good. And for you my Grubb I don’t want to hear any blaming or other stuff related for that matter, is that clear?
- Yes Stormous, it’s clear as glass.
- Well then I suggest we leave now and continue the journey to our leader before it’s getting late. Lets put out the fire here and put down the tent after that we’ll leave, Stormous said while he sat down on the filthy ground.


I probably send in another chap in this week if I get time, but this is all for now...

See Ya!

-DS

[LoboDiabloLoneWolf]

LOL! Stranger's gettin' told off! That's very fun.

[Dancing Steef]

LOL! Stranger's gettin' told off! That's very fun.

Yeah, for being too rough he certainly needs some spankin' anyway I said that I should update soon and well here is a new part people enjoy


Chapter six: The trip to Vivay – part four (Meeting Vivay)




The sunset was soon upon them and cold, strong breezes blew between the giant trees. The autumn was on its way. Large piles of fallen leaves laid right under them trees, which made the Grubb think about her people. Did they need her guidance or did they make it on their own? Could they’ve been collecting some food in the provisions storage without needing help or assistance from her? She hadn’t got any clue. She’d just been wandering together with her best friend for a long time and discovering great things on the way. By the way the people was missing her a lot, as much as she did miss them. (That was what she thought).
Suddenly Thunder who was leading the field saw some lights right below the next hill. He stopped and said to them with a relieved and tired voice:

- Right below this hill lays Vivay’s village, our home… if we continue walking down this road we should be able to reach the main entrance, after that we should go to my place to get something to eat. After a tough journey like this one you might get incredibly hungry, don’t you think?
- Yeah what do you fellows say? You’re up for a bit grub eh, Stormous added while he grinned.
- That would be great, right Stranger, the female Grubb asked while she turned her head to him.
- Sure that would be awesome, Stranger answered while he looked at the guardians.
- All right then… lets move, Thunder said as he started walking again.


* * * * *


The entrance was closed with a ten feet tall door, made of broad tree caber, which was splited in many parts. A thick wall, also made by the timber, surrounded the whole village. Stranger thought “ whoa… that’s a very large door and wall as well”. Stormous knocked at the giant door and then a hatch opened. Two red orange coloured eyes looked out from the hole and a dark serious voice spoke to them. It said:

- What’s the password?
- Let me in or I point your eyes out with me fingers, answered Stormous with a sarcastic voice.
The hatch closed and the door opened. A dark Steef with big horns appeared in the door opening and grinned. He’s eyes shined of happiness when he saw them.

- Hey Stormous, he paused, how’s it going?
- Just fine how ‘bout you, you big Quizy, answered Stormous while he embraced him.
- Me fine bro, I’m just doing fine… then he saw the two newcomers, who are these weirdoes, huh?
- Oh this is just two youngsters we meet out in the forest, hehe, answered Thunder as he laid he’s hands on Stranger’s and the Grubb’s shoulder.
- Oh I see… Quizy said as he scratched himself on the cheek, well then welcome to the Steef tribe of the east, Vivay’s nest!
- Thankee so much, Stormous said as he, he’s brother Thunder and the newcomers went in to the village.


that's all for this week though, phew... See Ya!

-DS

[LoboDiabloLoneWolf]

Wheeee! Yus, I'm still enjoying it. Never thought of Stranger and Grubb Leader as 'youngster', must say it's quite amusin'.

[Dancing Steef]

Wheeee! Yus, I'm still enjoying it. Never thought of Stranger and Grubb Leader as 'youngster', must say it's quite amusin'.

Thankee Lobo well in OSW then Stranger seems to be quite young, after all he hasn't got any horns, while the olden Steef have (or had) giant ones. Untill he got 'em cut of by Sekto. Anyway I don't xactly know how old Stranger might be, but I guess he might be 'bout twenty or twentyfive, but that's only a guess though. what I don't know is how old the Grubb Leader is, so I jus made up an age for her, which I thought would be good. I may not have mentioned it in the text, but she's around thirtyfive or fourty years old... jus' something to know

I'm about to update the story this afternoon so...

See Ya then!

-DS

[Dancing Steef]

The fireplace in the comfy hut was crackling and the newcomers sat down in the living room, in a nice and comfortable sofa, relaxing after the long trip. While the Guardians went to the kitchen and were preparing the supper, Stranger and the Grubb talked to each other, but with ease and tiredness.

- We’re getting closer to our goal, you know and, the Grubb paused, you really should think about the speech of yours, don’t you think?
- Yeah guess you’re right ‘bout that, but… I don’t how to begin… if you were in my clothes how would you start, Stranger asked.
- Hrrm… err that’s a good question you know… well how ‘bout this, the Grubb stood up and gesticulated, “Great Steef leader of the east, I’ve come here on the behalf of Alca, the Steef leader of the north to see you, oh mighty Steef leader”, the Grubb bowed as final.
- Hehe, you’re full of suprises, aren’t you? Kind of funny if you ask me.
- I jus’ improved, that’s why it didn’t get good…
- Ah, c’mon I’m only teasing you a little bit, the speech was awesome I couldn’t have done better myself, Stranger said as he turned he’s head away from her.
- Heya know… I’ve been wondering ‘bout me own people… they must be missing us a lot… at least I hope that they’re all right, the Grubb sighed as she jumped up on the sofa and looked down.
Stranger laid his huge hand on her shoulder while he crawled nearer her. He said with mildness and compassion:
- Eh… don’t you worry ‘bout your people, they’re doing fine and by the way you got me, don’t you, Stranger laid one hand under her chin and lifted it up.
She looked at him with tears in her eyes and said:
- Yeah, I know, but I’m the leader and a leader is supposed to be with the people or else it wouldn’t be like a real tribe.
- … But a leader without her inhabitants is much more worse, then a people without their leader. The inhabitants know that you’ll return and no one is going to take your place or leaving, I promise you, they’re jus’ doing fine.
The Grubb threw herself in Stranger’s arms and cried, but with relief. Suddenly Thunder showed up in the door opening and told them that the food was on the table. Stranger nodded and Thunder went away to the kitchen again.
- Eh, lets get something to eat and then, ah we’ll see what we may do next, Stranger said as he patted her on her back. She looked at him and smiled.
- Okay, lets go Steefie, she said as she and Stranger went to the kitchen.

See Ya!

-DS

[LoboDiabloLoneWolf]

Awwwwwww, sweetness. Stranger and the Grubb leader are such good friends. All in all, nice chapter and lookin' forward to more Dancin' Steef!
