Nathan busted out in spontaneous laughter after hearing Doc saying he could talk the twins into doing something, but held the rest of it back once he saw the newbies looking at him with blank stares. [I]"Those little sh-"[/I] He looked to Isabella and corrected himself for the sake of her feelings, [I]"Those two don't listen to anyone except their mother. And she hardly does anything when they act up."[/I] He remembered the rifle he saw Doc carrying earlier this morning. [I]"They hid my playboy- My magazines... and I couldn't find them for three weeks."[/I] Nathan walked toward the door and opened it. [I]"I'll be where I said I'd be."[/I] Then before he left, heard what the Doc said. He put his hand to his face and said, [I]"Don't put that image in my head. J's like a dude."[/I] Nathan said on his way out.

[B][I]"Yeah, I don't think so."[/B][/I] Joan said with a slightly annoyed voice. It was Doc's second time bringing up the boyfriend thing with her and Nathan, and now he was pushing it.

"Let us go!" Isabella squealed happily and took Chloe's hand to lead her to the back door in the kitchen. Outside the sun was all the way risen and both young ladies stepped out onto a back porch. There was a wooden porch swing and potted plants on either side. After walking off the porch, they walked passed the camp stove and Isabella lead the way toward a nice sized tool shed. Behind it was a large garden with columns of freshly growing crops that weren't quite ready for harvesting. The garden stretched out the whole width of the backside of the barn and it was quite impressive. There was one thing for certain and that was Gabrielle and Isabella had a green thumb. "What do you think?" Isabella asked Chloe with a big smile. The chicken coop was vertically beside the garden and the chickens inside seemed spooked. Isabella went over to check on things and discovered that the backside of the coop had been broken into and there were chicken feathers in chunks all over the ground. She gasped loudly when she saw the trail of blood splattered around. Isabella looked inside the coop and saw that one of the chickens were missing. She counted all the hens, but couldn't find their one and only rooster. Isabella looked to Chloe and her face saddened. When she couldn't find any danger around, she spoke to Chloe, "Things like this happen some times. It hasn't happened so much lately. This is sad." She said thinking of her mother's favorite chicken.

[B][I]"It's a rifle."[/B][/I] Joan said on the way out the door with Doc. [B][I]"Should be easy to find. Way easier than your mags."[/B][/I] Joan said to Nathan with a slight grin. [B][I]"I'm sure they were too important for you to be without."[/B][/I] She said and grinned at the Doc. Nathan just kept walking and ignored her teasing. They made it to the boat and Nathan stepped off the dock to get in. Joan got in herself and waited for Doc to follow suit. Joan and Nathan heard Doc's question about the visions and they just shook their heads no.

[I]"Welp, looks like there's only two paddles... Anddd your on the end so."[/I] Nathan said to Doc before starting to paddle himself with the other one. The boat was an old motor boat, so it seemed ridiculous paddling - but it was necessary to keep the walkers from hearing the loud motor. [I]"By the way Doctor, there is no toilet paper where we're headed."[/I] He said and continued paddling. The boat was floating toward the other end of the large lake where the mountains were behind it. The water sloshed against their paddles as they made to the middle of the lake to take a break. Remembering Doc's odd mentioning of visions, Nathan spoke up, [I]"Heard from Gabrielle and Isabella that a few people died in this lake."[/I]

[I][B]"No you didn't."[/I][/B] Joan said rolling her eyes at his attempt to creep out Doc.
