The fourteen year old was able to display a surprising amount of maturity. Mostly because she was on her own out here. However, she wasn't stupid enough to go that far. Her household was pretty close to a forested area. Just one walk away. Not that anyone but the most curious of neighbors would pay any mind to her. While she would have to be a bit more cautious in the big city, St. Stephens was a small, close-knit community, and honestly, she wouldn't have it any other way. Phoebe carried the guitar far as she could, before she sat her ass down on the edge of the forest. On top of a hill that went downwards into the nearly endless forest. That was the thing about this place, it was like an endless forest, with an endless mountain at the center of it. Odd. It would be the perfect place to hide and play the guitar, but Phoebe wasn't brave (nor foolish) enough to risk going into the forest alone. Enough of that, Phoebe entered a state of tranquility as she channeled her inner-guitarist. She played a little cover of the hit "Sittin' On the Dock of the Bay" by Otis Redding. It was a shame the man died. He was a genius. But, Phoebe was going to do her best to pay tribute to this amazing song. As her fingers pulled the strings, she realized that her rendition was a little bit more... [i]tropical[/i], than she liked. She adjusted, but all she did was ruin her tempo. Actually... she was going to give this a break. Debra wanted to gather everyone for something. Phoebe didn't know what (and knowing that girl; neither did Debra). Only that her uncle's going to be out for the night, and they were free to do as they pleased. Phoebe was hoping it wasn't anything perverted. Well, given that Debra was kind enough to invite her, and Phoebe didn't have any plans, she figured that she might as well go. Phoebe got up, and started walking over towards Debra's house. [hr] Arriving at Debra's house, Phoebe figured that she takes the front door. This was probably unnecessary, but Phoebe knocked on the front door. Just for formalities. It would be rude to just barge in. It wasn't long before someone approached, and opened the door for Phoebe. She walked in, and once she made it to Debra's basement, she certainly had some kind of plan going on here. A big one. She called it [i]Operation: Madcat[/i]... ... It's hard not to snicker at [i]that[/i] one. Lameness aside, Phoebe was always willing to hear out Debra for the sake of doing something new. From what she can tell, Debra wants to go on this big trek through the woods... she unfortunately missed the reasoning behind this. Honestly, Phoebe was just down with it. "Yeah, girl, I'm down," Phoebe said. "But, this Madcat better be worth it if I'm going to risk being found in a ditch somewhere." Daniel spoke of a few points... while Phoebe finds that boy annoying as hell, he had a point. There's no way in hell anyone's parents are going to let a bunch of stupid kids wander the woods. "Well, whatever we tell them, it better be good," Phoebe was quick to say, a bitterness was in her voice. Her parents didn't really give a shit what she did. "Honestly, my parents don't give a shit regardless, so I'm in either way."
