"I'm not talkin' to you. I'm talkin' to Wirt!" I start to giggle at their ramblings back and forth,

'This is gonna be one heck of an adventure'

Welcome back! Now on to Episode 2!

(Y/N) POV

Wirt, Greg and I are walking down a path in the direction the Woodsman pointed us in, as I look around I admire the slowly changing autumn forest around us, listening to the geese honk and crickets chirp in the background. The only thing that would make me truly at peace with this tranquil forest was if Greg hasn't been blowing raspberries for the last hour, 'Of Course he would be, why wouldn't he' I think while rolling my eyes. I clear my throat, "It's almost morning. We should've found a town by now. This is the way the woodsman told us to go, right?" I question, interrupting Greg's raspberry blowing "I was just thinking the same thing, are we going the right way?" Wirt says turning his head to me.

Greg blows raspberries again, "Have either of you listened to anything I've been saying? For the last couple hours, I've been saying-" He started to blow raspberries once again. "Well that settles it. I'm gonna walk up ten feet ahead of you" Wirt says quickening his pace and doing just that. "Aw, come on Greg he's just being a kid, though admittedly an annoying one" I say to him whispering the last part under my breath.

"Help!" I turn my head to where the shout came from "Huh?" Greg says doing the same. "I'm stuck!" we hear again, "I hear something!" Greg yells to Wirt, "Yeah me too" I say eyeing the trees suspiciously. "It's probably nothing" Wirt says waving his hand as he walks up to a sign nailed to a tree along the path, "Hey look, 'Pottsfield, one mile.' A town! Let's go this way." Wirt says "okay, let's go this way." I say as I grab Greg's hand and quickly run to where the noise came from, in the other direction from where the sign was pointing.

"Not-Ugh" Wirt says as he comes after us. "Hello?" I say letting go of Greg's hand and cup my mouth, "Anyone there?" I say looking around "Hey you!" I hear the voice again, except this time it's behind me. I quickly turn around. "Who me?" Greg says looking around as well "Yeah, you." We now hear the voice coming from a bush and Greg parts it with his hands allowing both of us to see inside "Oh, hello" the voice gasps.

'It's the little blue bird!'

"It's you again! I'm stuck. Help me out of here and I'll owe you a favor" As I look at her more I see she is tangled up in a vine. "Woah! I get a wish?" Greg says as I facepalm "No, no. no. Not a wish. I'm not magical. I'll just do you a good in turn." The small blue bird says trying to get Greg to understand. "Can you turn me into a tiger?" Greg says excitedly as i just shake my head "Um, no. I just said I'm not magical." The little blue bird says realising that she wouldn't get anywhere with him.

"It doesn't have to be a magical tiger" Greg says looking dejected "Greg, stop talking to a bush" Wirt said walking up behind us. I step in front of Greg taking a small pocket knife out of my bag hanging on my waist and start cutting her out of the vine, "Just hold still, okay?" she slightly nods her head as I finish cutting her free. I pull my hand back smiling "there you go!"

I put the small pocket knife back in my bag as she flies out of the bush. "Thanks. I owe you a favor." she says smiling at me while flying "So. um, you three are lost kids with no purpose in life, right?" she says looking to the three of us, "Uh-huh" Wirt says looking annoyed as I just look at her confused. "How about I bring you to Adelaide of the Pasture, the Good Woman of the Woods? She could help you get home." She says looking between hopeful.

"Oh" Greg says "N-no, no. No no. No, no, no, no, no, no. Magic talking birds leading us to fairy godmothers in the mysterious... I'm going to Pottsfield." he starts walking away "Hey wait!" I shout after him "yeah, we're going to Pottsfield. Come on." Greg says starting to walk after Wirt "You can come with us if you want" I say looking up at the blue bird. I start to follow after the 2 "What about the favor?" She asks suddenly "I'll think of my wish latter" Greg says and I just shake my head "Ugh" the blue bird and I say at the same time, "Don't mind him, you get used to it" I say looking up at her with a smile.

As we continue walking the path begins to widen onto a dirt road through a pumpkin patch, "So my name's (Y/n), that's Greg-" I point to Greg who's currently walking in front of me "-and that's Wirt" I say pointing to Wirt, who's currently walking far ahead of us "what's your name" I say, finally getting the chance to ask, "Beatrice" she says "Oo! That's a pretty name!" I say with a smile "Yeah- thanks" she says looking away. "And my frog's name is Wirt Jr, but that may change" Greg pipes up "Okay, that's great. How 'bout you 2 and I ditch your brother?" she says and my eyes widen "O-oh no! He's not my brother! Greg and Wirt are brothers I'm just their friend" I quickly state trying to explain the situation "Mm, maybe later. So is it nice being a bird?" Greg says completely ignoring me "Nope" Beatrice says ignoring me as well, I just look at the path ahead figuring they don't care.

"Oh, do you like waffles?" Greg asks completely off topic "No, waffles make me sick. I eat...m-maggots" She responds sounding hesitant, I look up up at her questioningly. "Aah!" Greg screamed "What?" I hurriedly yelled he faced Beatrice "How can you not like waffles!?" he shouted and then I hear a squishing sound "AAH!" he screamed again, louder this time "What!?" she screamed "I stepped on a pumpkin!" I groan and just shake my head.

"Aha! Civilization, see? Now-" He was interrupted by another squishing sound "Huh? What the..." I look down at his foot and cover my mouth with my hand to hold back a chuckle, his foot is in a pumpkin. He shakes his foot and the pumpkin goes flying in a random direction. "All right, Let's rejoin society." he says standing up straight once again and goes marching into town. We follow him to see the town is deserted "Hello?" Wirt yelled "Hello? Is anyone here" I say cupping my hands around my mouth, but no answer "Hmm, see anyone?" Wirt asks us "Noo... Oh! I see you!" Wirt sighs "Yeah I see you too, Greg" I sigh with a slight smile.

"Hey, not to be obnoxious, but an abandoned ghost town doesn't seem like it's gonna be that useful getting you guys home" Beatrice says bitterly and Wirt clears his throat audibly irritated "There's got to be somebody... somewhere" he walks over to a house and knocks on a door "excuse me? Anyone here? Hello?" Wirt opens the door "Wirt wai-" I shout to him reach my hand out toward him "Oh, s-sorry. Uh, I'm looking for a phone" From around him I can see a turkey laying on a dining room table and it blinks at him. "Uh, I'm sorry..." He chuckles slowly and runs back to us. By now my arm was already back at my side and I just sigh and shake my head looking at the ground.

"Did you find anything?" Beatrice asks him and I just chuckle still shaking my head. "No. Where's Greg?" I look up and my eyes immediately widen. 'While I was focusing on Wirt I totally forgot about that trouble maker' I start looking around frantically "Huh?" I hear Greg say from behind me, I turn around and see Greg's head sticking out of a hay bale. I sigh in relief and put my right hand to my heart "You almost gave me a heart attack!" I say almost shouting at him "Sorry" Greg says stepping out of the hay bale and looking to the ground, my eyes softened from his expression.

"Do you hear that?" Greg says his mood quickly changing as he looks up "Huh?" A tune is carried on the breeze to us, we all gasp and follow the music over to a big barn at the edge of town, we look in and see people covered completely in pumpkins and fabric dancing around a tall maypole adorned with a large painted pumpkin head. The figures are singing, shucking corn, peeling apples and dancing.

"What the..." Wirt says under his breath, then a pumpkin person walks past us into the barn "Oh, pardon me there. Say, you folks ought to don your vegetables and celebrate the harvest with us" Wirt looks scared and then a look of realisation washes over his face "Uh...oh! You're wearing costumes!" the pumpkin man chuckles "Well, sure. Pumpkins can't move on their own... can they?" he walks the rest of the way into the barn and joins the feastivities "Ha, no. Yeah, no" Wirt chuckles and I smile "Good thing I didn't take this off!" Greg says pointing to his foot showing the pumpkin he stepped in earlier.

"You guys find this place as creepy as I do, right?" Beatrice says cautiously. I chuckle "Yep! And that's why I love it" I say as I walk part of the way into the barn "Come ooon!" I sort of whine "Let's have some fun!" I say excitedly "No thanks, I'm going to find someone here who will give us a ride home." He turns towards Greg "Greg, you stay out of trouble." He then turns toward Beatrice while waving is hand "Beatrice, thank you, but you can leave"

Beatrice sighs "I can't leave. I'm honor-bound to help you since you guys helped me. That's the bluebird rules." I just shake my head "You guys really don't like to have fun do you?" I ask them and Wirt just walks away to find someone to help us meanwhile Greg wanders off to cause some trouble. "Well I guess it's just you and me now, huh?" Beatrice lands on my head, looks at me and sighs, "I guess so" I turned around back to the 'Harvest fest' that was going on in the surprisingly big barn with a small sad smile.

'I guess it's time to join the fun'
