Subject: THREE TWITS UP A TREE - PART 1

Author: Goober

Laughter and merriment filled the Dream Tour Bus once again, now that Tammy and Hank were recovered and back aboard! It was true that both still had some recuperating to do -- especially the brave Fire Department Captain who had almost traded off his own life to save his beloved Tammy -- but the
two love birds had been deemed healthy enough to continue the tour.

Johnny, Roy Sally and others, with medical training, took it upon themselves to keep a careful -- if discreet -- eye on the twosome, making sure they got plenty of rest, took their medications and were eating well. In short -- Hank and Tammy were being pampered and spoiled by all those who loved and
cared about them so much.

In the short and long of it though, it was the return to the silliness -- the pranks and marshmallows fights -- that had helped both them -- and the rest of the E! Sisters and the Guys from 51 -- to overcome the extremely frightening event occurring back at Boy Scout Cave.

It was in the spirit of keeping the fun going, that Erin had excitedly shared her FIND with her fellow Twits, DJ and Stephanie...

"An entire patch of blueberries!" Erin breathed. "Ripe and ready for the picking!"

"I love blueberries!" Stephanie crowed.

"We can pick them and then surprise everybody -- we can make a special dessert for them!!" DJ added.

"So...what are we waiting for?" Erin called out.

The three gals scouted around the area, among the tents, the Dream Tour Bus, and the Engine -- finally coming up with some containers to hold their berries. Then they were off, with fugitive glances back over their shoulders and sharing excited giggles.

It took them about 20 minutes to walk the distance to where Erin had spied the blueberry patch...

"WOW! It's beautiful here!" Stephanie exclaimed, looking around the wooded area.

"And you smell those blueberries?" Erin asked, taking another deep breath.

"Come on -- lets get to work!" DJ announced, always the leader of the threesome.

"Right behind ya!" Stephanie and Erin echoed, then laughed at each other.

The three gals delved into the patch -- sharing laughter and jokes and lots of talk as they picked each ripe, luscious blueberry off its vine and placed them into the containers. Erin caught site of Stephanie munching a few of them.

"Hey�cut that out!" Erin laughed.

"They're too good to resist," Stephanie defended. "And besides, what are all those blue stains around your mouth? Huh?"

Erin blushed, then giggled.

DJ shook her head at her two friends...she, herself, wasn't much a fruit eater...but she was glad to be here, with her fellow Twits -- picking the blueberries for all her E! Sisters.

In fact the three gals were having so much fun , they never noticed that they had been joined by another presence...

Who was not at all please to find that HIS blueberry patch had been invaded and the precious commodity was being stolen away from him.

It was the angry ROAR of the Grizzly Bear that altered Erin, DJ and Stephanie to his presence.

Three heads spun around -- three sets of eyes locked on to the 700 pound bear -- three mouths dropped open.

"Uhmmm-uhmmm---guys....?" Stephanie stammered.

"Oh, boy....!" Erin uttered.

With another angry ROAR, the BEAR rose up on is hind paws.

"I don't think he's the friendly type..." DJ whispered.

"No kidding!" Stephanie squeaked. "What do we do now!"

Dropping down onto all fours, the furious, deadly bear bounded toward the three helpless Twits.

"RUUUUNNNNNNN!!!" DJ screamed.

The three girls scrambled to their feet, tripping over themselves and each other, before finally obtained secure footing. They darted off, with DJ leading the way -- toward the path of some trees.

"CLIMB!!" DJ Ordered! "CLIMB!! CLIMB!!"

Her Marine training made scaling the tree a simple task for DJ -- especially with the adrenalin rushing through her body!

She secured her position quickly, then turned back to reach down and help Erin make the climb. Shoving TT3 onto a sturdy branch, she turned back and leaned down to pull Steph up.

"Come on, come on!!" Erin was screaming, also leaning down to help Stephanie."

On the ground, Stephanie's heart was pounding from sheer ear. Behind her, she head the lumbering Giant of a BEAR crashing through the underbrush -- headed directly for her!

His BELLOWING ROAR filled her ears!

"Help me!!" Stephanie pleaded, as she tried, desperately, to make the climb.

"Give me you hand!" DJ shouted, leaning down even further, in danger of falling, herself -- but she would risk injury and even death, for her beloved friend.

She felt Erin grab hold of her legs, steadying and securing her -- allowing her to make a lunge -- enabling her to wrap her hands around one of Stephanie's arms.

"Pull, Erin...! PULL US UP!" DJ yelled.

"I'm trying!" Erin gasped.

For her part, Stephanie tried to get a foot hold on the bark of the tree -- reaching out with her free hand to grab hold of a branch and help pull herself up.

She had just begun to make progress, when she heard yet another GROWL -- the BEAR was THERE -- only inches away!

Stephanie felt herself being yanked up into the safety of the tree --

But not before the Grizzly got in a swiped with his razor sharp claws...

Stephanie cried out in pain.

'OH MY GOD!'

'Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh� '

"Steph, are you okay? Oh my God! That�that�that was a BEAR! We could've been killed!" My voice trembled as I spoke the words, turning slowly in the direction of TT2.

"DUH! I think that we all figured that out, Sherlock!" Stephanie looked at Erin, "And they think that SHE'S the brains of this outfit???"

I took a brief glance down to the ground below us. 'GRRRRRRRRRR!' 'Yep, Old Evil is still down there� '. My voice was barely a whisper, "Uh�What are we gonna do?"

Erin, speaking her first words since TT2's harrowing rescue, decided that a little levity would help. "I don't know about you two Twits, but this tree is pretty comfy�I ain't leavin'." The sight of Erin clutching the tree branch, eyes wide with fright, barely enough room to maintain her deathgrip�almost made the scene funny.

This could only happen to a TWIT!

"Owe! Owe! Owe!!!"

In our state of post rescue panic, we'd forgotten about Stephanie's encounter with the Bear's claws. Two sets of fearful eyes turned towards the injured Twit. Two voices rang out at the same time, "Steph? Are you okay?"

"NO! I'm not okay�my leg! OWE!" Tears began to fill Stephanie's eyes, as she gingerly tried to bring her leg up, from where it hung from the side of the branch.

Peering over my shoulder to get a look at Stephanie's leg, Erin gasped. "Whoa� I don't suppose that one of you thought to bring an HT with you, huh?"

'CURSES! Rule # 1 of the Rookie Manual� Always take your HT, in the event of an unfolding adventure. Too bad we missed that training session. Hee hee hee� But, the look on Cap's face was priceless when we were off putting the molasses in his�'

"DEJAE!?!?!?!?" Erin's shouting, directly in my ear, shook me out of my private musings. "I said, did you bring the HT?"

"Oh, um�well�NO!"

Erin scowled at me. "Did you bring the 1st aid kit?"

Again I shook my head. "No�I didn't."

Stephanie interrupted us. "Did ONE OF YOU TWITS, at least, steal�err�I mean borrow the drug box? My leg is really hurting. OWE!"

My patience were starting to get a little short with my fellow Twits. "Why do you guys keep asking ME if I brought the stuff that we were supposed to bring? This trip wasn't even my idea," I turned, and pinned Erin with my meanest glare, "was it ERIN??? I don't even LIKE blueberries. As a matter of fact, I HATE blueberries! I hate blueberries�I hate the woods�(sniff, sniff)�I hate tree's�(sniff) .and�and�WAAAAAAAAAA! I HATE BEARS!!!! WAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

Through tear filled eyes, I saw that both ErinTT3, and StephieTT2 had started crying. I felt awful. They hadn't done anything wrong�I was just scared. "Look Twits, I'm sorry. We're gonna get out of this. We've just got to figure out what to do. So, I ask again�What are we gonna do?"

Erin wiped her eyes, and readjusted herself on the limb, trying unsuccessfully to find a more comfortable position. "Well, first things first. We'd better do something about Stephie's leg. We need to find something to stop the bleeding, and bandage it up. Steph�are you okay? How are you doing?"

By this time, TT2 was looking faint. "I don't know�my leg hurts so bad!" She looked down at the bear that was still growling, pawing, and scratching at the tree. "Listen, you guys�I don't think that I'm gonna be able to climb down from this tree. You guys have to promise me", she paused a moment to readjust her leg. "Promise me that if you get a chance, you'll get away. If you need me to distract the bear�"

"NO! Steph, what are you saying? We're not going to leave you here. NO WAY! We're all going, or the bear can have us ALL�a three course meal�but we're NOT leaving you. And, I might add, I don't intend on becoming bear chow. No siree�it definitely would cut into my social life." I reached over and
gave TT2 a quick hug, and looked her in the eye. "We're going to get out of this. There's not a bear mean enough to keep the TWITS down!"

Stephie took a calming breath. "Yeah, and soon, everybody will miss us, and notice that we're gone. They'll send the boys out to find us, and we'll be saved. Hey, I read in a fanfic story once, where Johnny had a run in with a bear. He'll know what to do!"

Erin reached over and hugged us both. "Hmmph! If I had my Louis, that bear would be toast!"

Stephie, like TT3, had gotten the old Twit Sparkle in her eye too. "Yeah, that bear is on the 'LIST'!"

I, for my part was just starting to feel a little calmer. As long as my fellow TWITS were with me, nothing could stand in our way�

{{{CRACK}}}

�except a cracking tree limb. The tree limb that happened to be suspending three TWITS 15 feet above one mean, hungry, grizzly bear�(gulp).

Well, I wasn't much of a praying TWIT before that moment. But, I figured, Better late than never. There's no time like the present!' My 'prayer' quickly turned into a mantra, shared by my fellow Twits. "Please don't break. Please don't break. Please don't break�"

We sat stock still on that tree branch. Only the sound of the grizzly below us, and our desperate plea could be heard. "Please don't break�" I looked at TT2. She was already injured. Could she survive the fall? What about Erin and me? Fifteen feet? Even if we survived the fall, there was a BEAR waiting at the bottom. Somehow, I don't think that he was helping us to will that limb not to break. "Please don't
break�"

I felt the limb begin to sag under our weight. As a last ditch effort, I looked skyward, to the Big Fireman in the sky� "Please don't let it break"�

{{{CRACK!!!}}}

Seeing another limb just above their heads.. Dj and Erin had time to reach up and grab it.

As the limb gave it's final groan under the weight of the Twits, Stephanie could not grab the limb in time.

Screaming at the top of her lungs, "DJ...Erin...HHEELLLLPPP!!!" as she fell to the ground in a heap.

"Stephie!" DJ and Erin cried at the same time as they saw the bear head for her.

As the bear nudged Stephanie with it's head and scratched at the ground near her head, she felt it's hot breath on her neck and lost consciousness.

"Oh my god...DJ, we gotta do something!" Erin cried.

"Oh god"..DJ thought...what was it that I had learned in the girl scouts....if a bear attacks you, your supposed to play dead.

"Steph, don't move. If he thinks you dead, he'll move away from you." DJ called down to her.

Laying unconscious on the ground, the only noise coming from Stephanie was a small moan.

"Erin we need to do something and do it now. I think Stephanie is hurt real bad." DJ said and she made a move to get down lower in the tree.

Looking over at Erin, DJ noticed that she still had her basket of blueberries.

"Erin, give the your basket. Maybe if I toss the basket away from the tree the bear will follow." DJ reached for the basket and threw it with all of her might.

Author: Stephanie TT2

Watching as the bear nudge Steph again... Erin prayed for a miracle." Please God, make this work and I'll be the best Twit you ever saw."

As they watched the bear move off towards the basket of blueberries, it turned around and gave one final growl as it headed off.

Slowly making their way down the tree, they made sure that they were quite as possible.

Reaching Stephanie, DJ carefully rolled her on her back and checked for her pulse.

Erin let out a small cry and touched the knot that had formed on Stephanie's forehead.

"DJ, is she gonna be okay. I mean, here we are out in the middle of no where and no one from the camp knows that we here." Erin asked as she looked around.

"Yea, I think she has a concussion and that leg of her's has started bleeding again. As soon as we get it stopped, one of us is going to have to go and get help." DJ said as she took a closer look at Stephanie's leg.

"Dj, I'm not sure which way we came. I mean we zigzaged all around and well I'm not sure which direction to go." Erin said as tears started to well up in her eyes.

Looking around, DJ noticed that the light had started to recede.

"Well we'd better decide now or we're both gonna be spending the night in the woods and what with Steph unconscious, she might go into shock and the only warmth that we can provide will be from us". DJ said as she looked at Erin and wished they had stayed at the camp like Cap had asked them to.

Stephanie let out a small moan and tried to move.

"Steph, you need to stay still." DJ said and she held Stephanie's head.

Erin and DJ both jumped at the sound of a shotgun fired close by.

The bear, which up until now had been munching happily on discarded blueberries, suddenly reared up at the sound of the gunfire. He stared straight at the three twits huddled on the ground below the tree.

"My god, DJ! He thinks we're the ones who fired the shot! He'll rips us to pieces now for sure!" Erin cried.

Erin and DJ moved closer in to protect their fallen fellow twit from what was sure to a wrath worse than Mother Nature, herself!

No one, however, got a chance to find out what the bear had in mind. At that moment, another shot rang out, this time a lot closer. The bear now knew what kind of a threat he was faced with and he knew it was beyond him to deal with it. He turned tail and scampered into the woods back to his own lair.

"Galldernit, Johnny! Ah ahlmost had 'im!" came a voice out of the darkness speaking in a thick hillbilly accent. "Yi wahnt me ta move in a spec closer. See if ah cain git a bitter shot?"

Erin and DJ looked at each other with hopeful optimism. Johnny?! Their Johnny?! The DHW Johnny?! Had their wonderful Dark Haired Wonder come at last to their rescue.

"Naw! T'aint no use now, Zeke! It's too dark and it's a-gittin' too cold! Ah spec we's bes' git ourselves baick home." sounded another voice in as equally heavy a dialect.

No, darn it! It wasn't the DHW! But it was humanity! It was, at least, hope for some form of medical help for Stephanie. It was better than being in the middle of nowhere with nothing at all.

"JOHNNY! JOHNNY!" The two twits called with all their might.

"D'ya hear that?" Zeke startled. "Sumpin's a-callin'yer name, John."

"What d'ya reckin' it is?" John asked becoming equally as frightened.

"Ya reckin' it might be a group of them spirits. Y'know! The ones what used ta sing and lead sailors to their deaths!" Zeke offered.

"Zeke, that there's the craziest idear ah ever heard. They was in the ocean. We's in the woods. How would we be able t'hear them? His brother asked.

"JOHNNY! JOHNNY!" The two men heard again.

"Look! Ah don't know what it is and Ah ain't a-stayin' ta find out. Ah'm a-gittin'!" Zeke said and took off into bolt run.

"Ah'm a-followin'" Johnny responded and ran off in the same direction as his brother.

Neither hillbilly could see very well just exactly where they were headed and Erin and DJ soon saw two tall, gangly figures go sailing past the tree they were under.

"JOHNNY!" The girls called out for a third time.

Zeke and John spun around in terror and poised their firearms to repel whatever threat would come their way. The two twits gave out a startled cry and raised their hands to indicate that they were unarmed.

The men breathed a sigh of relief and dropped their shot guns upon realizing that these "spirits" were as human as they were.

"Help us!" Erin pleaded. "Steph is hurt. She's hurt really bad."

John took hold of his lantern and held up to better see what Erin was talking about.

"It is bad, Zeke! Look lahk sumpin' Ma'd have ta handle! Cain she wahlk?" John asked.

"I don't think so." said DJ. "It looks like she' out cold."

"Well, Ah ain't no doctor, but Ma ahlwahys saiz yi gotta git the bleedin' stopped. If'n ya cain find me a stick, ah got a rag. We cain git ourselves one a them tournikits a-going and. . ."

John didn't need to say another word. He was instantly offered to very large and long sticks by both DJ and Erin.

The tourniquet was soon in place and the twits were soon following the two brothers back to their home up in the hills. John had taken it upon himself to carry Stephanie since she was in too much pain to walk the journey.

On the way there, DJ and Erin were relating to the men how they had come to be in the tree in the first place. They tried to tell the men about the Dream Tour and about the boy from Station 51 but from the polite way Zeke and Johnny were agreeing with everything they said, DJ and Erin could understand all this was going over their heads like a jetliner.

"We have this really Super RA! Her name is Sally!" DJ explained. "She refers to us as her twits!"

At that word, Zeke and John suddenly stopped dead in their tracks. "TWICKS!" They both cried at once and Johnny dropped Stephanie from his arms. Stephanie sprang to life with the renewed pain that shot through her leg. DJ and Erin ran to help their E! Sister as Zeke and John drew their arms once more.

"Y'all are Twicks!" Zeke exclaimed. "If'n we'da known that, we'da left ya reight wahre ya stood."

"No, no! Not Twicks! I said--" DJ began.

"Never mind what you'uns said!" Zeke cut her off. Ah heared the name Twicks and that's all ah need!"

"I don't understand! What does it mean?" Erin said.

"It means we're a-takin' ya back home ta see Ma but you ain't never a-cummin' back." John said.

"But why?!" DJ asked.

"B'cuz you all are Twicks!" Zeke said.

"So?" asked DJ still confused.

"So, we'uns are Sheffields and you'uns and us'uns is a-feudin' Ben feudin' neigh on ta twenie yers!" Zeke answered. "We're a-bringin' ya ta Ma! She'll be the one t'decide what's ta be done with ya! Now git!"

Helping Stephanie to her feet, the helpless Twits had no choice but to comply with their captors demands as all five continued on their journey.

Seeming to walk forever, the three twits were getting tired.

"Um..DJ, I can't make it anymore. We have to stop so I can rest." Steph said as she found a tree stump to sit on.

"Watcha doin sittin on that there stump, woman. Git on your fet and start movin. Maw ecept's us home just after sunset. An I ain't missin my vidials tonight on account of no female." Johnny said as he pointed the gun at Stephanie.

"Look Johnny, Steph just needs to rest for a minute." DJ said as she looked from Johnny to Zeke.

"Aw Johnny, let her rest. Her been making tracks since we done left that there bear behin. Maw's gonna be happy when she sees what we done brought the others." Zeke said as he scratched his behind.

"Yea...guessin you's right." Johnny said as he leaned up against a tree, keeping his rifle pointed at the twits.

Dj and Erin moved closer to Stephanie.

"Dj, who do you think the others are?" Erin asked and she kept a weary eye on Johnny.

"I don't know Erin. But I am not about to mess with these guys. As long as they are taking us to someone who can give Steph medical help, I'm going where they want us to go." DJ said.

Pointing his gun at the twits. Johnny had enough of resting. "Let's get goin, I is gettin hungry and ifin we's don't make it home. Mikey is a gonna eat my vitials. What with me bein as hungry as bear." Johnny said as he watched all three twits turn and give him a guilty look.

Author: Stephanie TT2

DJ looked at Erin with concern on her face.

"Erin, Steph's gone into shock. We need to start a fire and try and get her warm. Go gather some wood and make sure you get some leaves. They will help get the fire started." DJ said as she again looked down at Stephanie.

*****
This has got to be a dream, Stephanie thought as she looked at the two hillbilly's. Where would these two characters come from. Certainly not from her imagination. One looked like Johnny and his name was 'Johnny' and the other one looked like Chet, only his name was 'Zeke'. And then they said
something about the others.

Trying to drift to the light, Steph fought the one person who was trying to help her.
*****

"Steph, it's okay. I'm right here. Erin and I aren't going to leave you." DJ said as she bent down closer to Stephanie's ear.

"Erin better hurry with that fire. Steph is starting to shiver." DJ said as she watched Erin.

"Look I'm hurrying as fast as I can! I didn't go to girl scouts like some other people I know. I read books." Erin said as she looked over at DJ and Stephanie.
*** *

Things were starting to get weird.

As Stephanie looked through a haze, woods appeared as if they had been there the whole time.

With Johnny and Zeke following, they came upon a cabin in the clearing. Thinking she saw Marco, Mike and Hank, Stephanie heaved a sigh of relief until she came closer to the cabin and noticed that all of the guys were in overalls.

This is definitely getting too weird, Stephanie thought to herself.

Coming up to the porch of the cabin Stephanie was meet by the biggest woman she had ever seen.

"Boy's whatca got thar. Looks like yas done brought your brether's some woman folk." The big beefy woman said.

"Maw, we done made up for that there bear we was ahuntin." Johnny said as he smiled at his mother.

Stephanie looked from DJ and Erin and fainted to the ground.

"Dag nabit bouys, yas done scaret one of them halfs ta death. Betters bring her on in heres and makes sure ya don't damage the goods." she said as she pointed to the cot in the corner.

Back at the camp, Hank was a little annoyed. He had done a head count and found that he was coming up three people short.

Looking around at his group of wandering wanders, he realized that it was way too quite. Checking again, he realize that the three Twits were missing.

Maybe they were on the bus. Heading in that direction, Hank realized that it was starting to get dark.

If those three twits don't turn up soon, he thought, we're going to have to form a search party. And I am not in any shape to go traipsing around in these woods."

Looking over at Sally, Hank decided she needed to be told that her three rookies were missing.

Author: Sally

"Missing!? What do you mean they're....missing!?" Sally cried out, her head snapping back and forth and her body turning a full 360 degrees in a vain attempt to find her three Rookies. "Where would they go? What could have happened to them!?"

Her eyes filled with hot tears. Over the months since she had come to know Erin, DJ and Stephanie -- the TWITS -- as they had been dubbed, she had become very attached to them, thinking of each as the "little Sisters" she had never before had.

The thought of anything happening to them filled her with dread...and guilt.

**This is all my fault!** she thought...**I've been spending so much time with Johnny, I haven't paid hardly any attention to the girls! And Now...NOW THIS HAPPENS!**

She couldn't stop the tears and sobs from coming. She felt comforting arms pull her close.

"Come on, now...take it easy." Johnny murmured. "We don't know that they're in any kind of trouble. They probably just went off for a hike-- went a little farther than they should have-- and haven't made it back yet. That's all."

"But you don't know that for sure!" Sally choked out, then shook her head no. "Something's wrong...I just KNOW IT!"

"How can ya KNOW it?" Chet challenged, trying in his own way to calm the distraught woman.

"I JUST DO, is all!" Sally shouted at him, then pulling free from Johnny's hold, she shoved by the anxious group of men and E! Sisters and started toward the trails leading away from their campsite.

Roy was the one to grab hold of her arm, pulling her to a stop. "Hold on, now. We don't needyou going off and getting into trouble too."

"We have to find them!" Sally insisted.

"We will-- but in an organized way." Hank Stanley responded, keeping his voice level, yet thrusting into it all his Captain's authority.

Under his direction, the E! Sisters and the Men from 51 broke up into search teams...it was decided that since Tammy and Hank were still recuperating, they would remain at the camp as the main contact, and in case the girls returned on their own.

"Well, what are we standing around here for, let's get a move on!" Melinda snapped -- ready to lead her band of searchers.

In groups of threes and fours, the teams headed off. As they neared the roads that would lead them off into their separate search areas, Brenda reached out and gave Sally a quick hug...

"They're gonna be OKAY. I just know it!"

Sally offered Brenda an uncertain smile. "I hope so..." she whispered.

Sally watched as Roy and Brenda moved off together, Cody at their sides -- then felt a hand take hold of her own. She turned to look into Johnny's dark brown eyes...searching for strength and reassurance in them.

"Please, God..." she begged as they started down the dirt trail. "Please take care of my Twits...wherever
they are!"

Hoping the fire would keep them warm, Erin and Dj huddled close to Stephanie.

Stephanie seemed to be fighting a demon. Every once in a while she would make let out a moan and act like she was having a conversation with someone. Erin and Dj were becoming concerned.

Looking around Erin was startled by the noise of a screech owl. Moving a little closer to the fire, the girls hoped that someone realized that they had gone missing.

"Dj, I scared and hungry. You think anyone knows we're gone". Erin asked as she jumped at another noise close by.

Author: Stephanie TT2

Slowly waking, with a pounding in her head, Stephanie found herself inside a cabin. When she tried to sit up her head let her know that it didn't like the position she was in. Slowly laying back down, she became aware of someone watching her. Looking over she saw Roy. When he grinned at her, he was
missing a few of his front teeth.

"Oh god...not this again" Stephanie thought.

"Hey Maw, Looks like this here youngun has done woke up" Roy said to his mother.

Coming into the room, Mary Jo peered down at Stephanie to get a better look for herself.

"Chil, yas don got mi boys alls worked up slippin to ta ground like that, gave oh Zeke there hart fails." Mary Jo said as she checked the bandage she had applied to Stephanie's leg.

Trying not to flinch when her leg was touch, Stephanie did a slow look around the room coming back to the doorway.

"Um...where's Dj and Erin", Stephanie asked in a hoarse voice. Trying to clear her voice so she could be better heard. A very large figure appeared in the door way.

"Maw, where's mi vitials" the figure demanded.

"Hold yor hawses Paw, I gots this here youngin I's gots ta give mi home remedy to's" Mary Jo said as she reached for a jar with a clear liquid in it.

"Her chil takes a sip of this here's medcine. This here stuff will's makes ya felt betta". Mary Jo said as she held the jar to Stephanie's lips.

Trying not to take to big of a sip, Stephanie got enough down her throat to make her gasp for breath.

Cough...Cough..."What is that stuff" Stephanie said as she tried to get the feeling back into her mouth.

"Oh, this her is my special medcine. It helps wat ails ya" Mary Jo said with a smile. A few of her teeth were missing too.
