Jemima looked to the others waiting for a response to her question.

[Sorry for disappearing, guys]

Nathaniel smiled. "Well, the pond is nearby... and the woods are always fun to explore - if you're careful."

He smiled as his tail fipped from side to side in a debating manner over the pond or the forest. "The woods would be fun to explore as long as no one gets lost."

"I'd love to go to either one," she said not knowing which place was more interesting and fun.

"I think the woods sounds cool!" Palmina said excited.
"Oh, please, can't we go there?!" she begged.

"Sure we can go to the woods. Lead the way Nathaniel," Jemima said happily.

He nodded his head "Woods sound quite lovely."

"Cool!" she said smiling a goofy smile. "So, what's there to do in the woods?"

Nathaniel had to smile at himself. He wasn't usually a leader when in a group. He was more of a fringes person.... but it seemed this group of cats wanted him to show them around the woods.

"Well, I guess I can take you in." He grinned at Palmina. "And there is stuff to do in there... you know, look at trees, collect leaves." He continued jokingly.

"Wow! I love collecting leaves!" she said sarky and smiled semi-annoyed at Nathaniel. "I mean, like some cool stuff.. .you know adventure!"

She hadn't had much to do these last coulpe of weeks and couldn't wait to do something exciting with her new friends.

"I believe we will not have trouble finding something fun to do. I think we will probably find more than we want" he grinned "Lead the way Nathaniel."

Anita was happy to go to the woods and finally see more of the junkyard. She had not seen much of the junkyard since she arrived there.

As they were walking towards the woods Palmina got a pretty good look of the Junkyard. She couldn't help but wonder about how the Jellicles was founded. She decided to ask later.

He smiled and began leading them towards the woods. "When I was a kitten, I wasn't allowed to go into the woods without my parents." He looked back and grinned. "Any kittens here?"

Palmina shook her head. "Uh-uh! Don't look at me, I'm not a kit anymore!" She said and smiled. "And what could possibly happen?" she said.

"I am full grown though I think that my mate I can give permission to come with me" he played and nuzzled on Jemima.

Palmina smiled at the cute couple, she couldn't help but longing for a mate of her own.

"Very funny Avion," she said smiling at Avion and licked his cheek.

"Aah love, I hope I'll have a mate soon," she said smiling at the thought.

"I am sure you will find one soon" he licked his love on the cheek and purred deeply.

Palmina laughed softly and said teasingly ;"Hey, get a room!".
Then she turned back to Nathaniel.
"So, why wasn't you allowed to go into the woods alone when you were a kit?"

"Interesting question Palmina. I'd also like to know Nathaniel," she said curiously.
