It was a typical day in the Creek. Craig, Kelsey, JP, and Mortimer were exploring the Creek, The Horse Girls were galloping in the tall grass, Kit was bartering with the other kids, and the 10 Speeds were burning rubber. Jason and his flunkies Tony and Boris were patrolling the Creek until they saw a girl wearing a teddy bear for a mask with a Tibetan Mastiff by her side. She was helping a squirrel climb up a tree back to his hole in the tree.
“Move it or lose it!” Commanded Jason, holding his squirt gun.
“Why don’t you move it?!” The girl snapped back. “I am Wildernessa, Guardian of the animals! Every year, thousands of innocent animals like turtles, tigers, deer, and wolves lose their homes because you humans build unnecessary houses, hotels, freeways, and restaurants for your selfish needs. My job is to rescue wild animals in peril until all humans die and nature wins back the land that rightfully belongs to the animals!" When Wildernessa finished her introduction, the three boys started laughing hysterically.
"Last time I checked," Said Jason. "Tigers lived in Asia. You won't find any of them here except in zoos."
"Aren't you aware that you're human, yourself?" Asked Boris, still recovering from laughing.
"I'M NOT A HUMAN!" Shouted Wildernessa. "I hate humans! Except for one." Wildernessa then looked at Jason. Kelsey told her about this kid before. “Wait a minute. You’re the one who started that fossil escapade that dried up the Creek! You almost ruined the food chain and killed off fish and tadpoles!”
“What fossil escapade?” Jason asked nervously.
“The one when JP found a trilobite fossil, only to find out it was a fake.” Said Tony. Wildernessa’s eyes turned red with rage.
"You and your big mouth." Jason told Tony.
“YOU NEARLY DESTROYED THE ECOSYSTEM FOR YOUR OWN SELFISH NEEDS!” She shouted, getting ready to pulverize Jason.
“But that was the old Jason!” The Forest Scout said nervously. “I’m a changed boy!” Regardless of what Jason was saying, Wildernessa jumped on Jason and beat him up badly.
“What is wrong with you?” Asked Jason, as he started crying. Tony and Boris got really mad.
“You’re in big trouble, young lady.” Said Tony. He grabbed some rope from his backpack and tied up Wildernessa and Cheesesticks. Boris grabbed both of them and took them to the Elders of the Creek.
------------------------------------------------
A couple hours later, after speaking with the Elders of the Creek, Tony and Boris put Wildernessa on trial at Dibs Court. Her arms and legs were tied together in case she tried to escape. Cheesesticks was in a large raccoon trap with a muzzle on his snout. Jason wasn't there because he was at the hospital. David, one of the Elders, was on the top of a rock.
"Presenting, Judge Mark!" He said, and Mark, another Elder, appeared wearing a powdered wig and carried a large gavel.
"Order! Order!" He said, banging the large hammer. "We are here today because this girl, who calls herself Wildernessa, is accused of beating up Forest Scout Jason. What does the defendant say?"
"He deserved to be pulverized!" Said Wildernessa. "He dried up the Creek just so he could dig up a fossil that wasn't even real! Not only that, many fish, tadpoles, and crawfish would've died!"
"Is that true, Tony and Boris?" Mark asked.
"I hate to admit it," Said Tony. "But yes. He even stated that he didn't want to be a Forest Scout, anymore. He was so determined to dig up a fossil just so people could respect him more."
"I heard the same thing." Said Boris.
"So, Wildernessa." Said Mark. "You beat up Jason because he was killing the creatures of the Creek?"
"Correct!" Said Wildernessa.
"Wildernessa!" Said Mark. "By order of Dibs Court, I declare you innocent! As for Jason, when he recovers from the hospital, he will be stripped of his Junior Forest Scout membership and sentenced to one year of community service. He will volunteer for watching over the little kids at Herkleston Kindergarten!" Tony and Boris started laughing.
"Not so fast, you two!" Said David. "You will also be helping Jason for a year. As for you, Wildernessa, since you bit, scratched, and punched someone, you are banished from the Creek for four weeks. However, you can still ride your dog. Just not in the Creek." Barry, another Elder, walked over to Wildernessa and untied her, while David walked over and freed Cheesesticks and removed his muzzle.
"That's okay." Said Wildernessa, hopping onto Cheesesticks. "There's always another section of Herkleston with animals in distress." The two of them then left the Creek to find other animals in distress.
Author's Notes: I am aware that, as of 'The Great Fossil Rush', Jason, the snobby Forest Scout who picks on everyone, is nice now, but this story started as a question. 'What would happen if Jason and Wildernessa encountered each other face to face?' I originally had Jason and his flunkies encounter Wildernessa in a completely different scene. I'll post the alternate opening after I finish the story. By the way, Jason and his flunkies look like this.
Jason (the blond one with the braces), Tony (the one with the hat, orange hair, shades, and book), and Boris (the tall one with more meat on his bones). |
Mark (the one with the cape and glasses), Barry (the big boned one with the sideburns), and David (the one with the Viking helmet and the sandals). |
Starting in the next chapter, Wildernessa will not wear her signature teddy bear mask. She will look something like this, drawn by yours truly.
