The two had been arguing between each other for about ten minutes before Alura tapped her pink haired companion on the shoulder. "So what's the decision, then?" she asked, looking back to the bear that seemed more interested in lying against the mountain to get a tan than the girls hiding behind a large rock.
"Well," Ashe began, not really sure on what to do here. "I don't know, really. I guess I leave the decision up to you."
The reptilian creature in the adorable ice blue outfit peeked back around the boulder before grabbing Ashe's shoulder. "I vote that we rush it. If we both dive in opposite directions at once, we should easily pass this fat slow bastard," she decided. Without giving the human a chance to say another word, she dived out from the boulder, sprinting as quickly as she could in the direction of the bear.
The bear's ears twitched at the popcorn crunching sound of the snow, growing louder as they closed the distance. In direct defiance, the bear rolled to its feet, spreading both arms and roaring loudly, locking its eyes directly onto the incoming pair... as best as they could tell through the sunglasses.
"You go left! I'll take right!" Alura barked from the front. "We'll stretch the rope between us and take the damn things head of-"
Before she had the chance to finish, the bear actually hopped into the air, its massive feet coming down and slamming into the snow. Contradicting reality, the entire mountain suddenly seemed to shake as if an earthquake had ripped through the rocks. The two women found their feet suddenly dropping out from beneath them, each sliding into the snow wildly.
Ashe seemed to roll the hardest, sliding straight over the edge of the path into open air. "Aaahhhh!" she screamed loudly, her shriek cutting through the roar of the pissed off Pooh.
"Shut up, I've got you!" Alura cried out, appearing at the edge of the cliff wall as the student felt the rope go tight in the air, her direction changing to send her back into the flat part of the wall. "You'd better climb this rope quicker than you cross ice," she warned, her gaze quickly falling over her shoulder at something that Ashe could only imagine.
Ashe dug her boots into the side and clamped her teeth together, throwing one arm over the other in effort to scale the rope. She didn't even notice when her companion began pulling the entire rope from her end arm by arm as well. As best as she could tell, she was really burning those calories, given the speed that she threw her arms over the side. "I did it!" she cheered, feeling Alura's mittens dig in to both armpits to pull her over the side.
"Time to go," the reptillian informed her, pointing to the side.
Now the polar bear had seemed to vanish from the area, only to be replaced by a small white bundle of fluff. "What... the heck is that?" the student asked, staring at the beaked creature attempting to puff itself up for intimidation. "I think I used to have one of those as a gift. Dude, those were the creepiest toys you could ever get. If you rubbed its belly, it would be all 'YUMMM' and sometimes it would just be sitting there in the dark and start singing songs. Snoring even. I ended up throwing it in my friend Claire's closet one night at a sleepover. See, she had one two, and man, when they both ended up in that closet together, I swear they started chanting all evil and crap, like they were plotting to take over the wo-" she suddenly cut off, noticing that her friend had pulled her wooden mallet from within her bag. "Whoa, what's that about?" she asked, sliding her own bag off to grab for her mallet.
"Well, here's how we do this, Ashe," the lizard informed her, a sadistic grin crossing her face. "Pretend that thing is a big seal."
"Well, to be honest, it probably should have been a seal, but..." she trailed off as realization reached her. "Seal clubbing? That's horrible!"
"Then you stay here and die to it!" Alura seethed.
Ashe tilted her head sideways. "Staying here is an option?" she asked, thinking of the rope.
"NO!"
The girl took a deep breath, focusing all of her being on imagining that the creature was... "I can't imagine a seal," she whined. "They are too cute and clubbing them is-"
"Imagine its one of those damn toys you were blabbering about!"
Alura had to admit it, on later consideration. Ashe had surprised the hell out of her at that moment. One moment she felt the rope go loose and heard a familiar crunching of snow, the next moment she whirled around to find the girl screaming ferociously as she rushed UP the mountain towards the furry creature, her own weapon raised high above her head.
The tiny yeti, in a moment of clarity, realized that this was a bad thing. It had spun around and scrambled as quickly up the side of the mountain as it could in hopes of escaping from its pursuer, but every glance over its own shoulder penetrated it with a fear far deeper than the cold of the mountain could reach.
"DIE FURBY!" the student cried out demonically.
Alura swallowed hard, finding herself in the position of being drug up the mountain along her back, unable to do anything more than bite down as each rock slammed into her backside. Whatever this creature or toy had done to her in the past, it had left behind some deep emotional wounds. That much was apparent.
The bright side, she supposed, was that they were now making fantastic time up the mountain.
"Well," Ashe began, not really sure on what to do here. "I don't know, really. I guess I leave the decision up to you."
