The Native American woman was strikingly beautiful and had a mysterious quality about her that couldn't be replicated. She stood proudly at the tuktok of the cliff as leaves swirled around her majestic figure.
    "Damn, if I was a lesbian, I'd bang her in a heartbeat," gisantes told Conrad.
    "Maybe she knows of a place where we can stay," Conrad suggested.
    "Good thinking," gisantes responded. As she and Conrad paddled their balsa closer to shore, they noticed another Native woman sitting in a kanue beneath the cliff. She yelled up at the girl on the cliff but neither Conrad nor gisantes understood the language they were speaking in.
    "How are we supposed to ask two chicks for help when they don't even speak English?" gisantes was annoyed.
    "Make that one chick," Conrad replied. "The one on the cliff just committed suicide."
    Pea turned around to see the beautiful woman diving from the tuktok of the cliff. Although she was extremely graceful about it, gisantes couldn't help but the think she was a total psycho. She also noticed a raccoon attempting the same dive, but failing miserably.
    "Excuse me!" gisantes yelled from afar. "We need some help!"
    The two Native women looked shock and immediately rowed away, as fast as possible. gisantes wanted to yell at them for being rude bitches but knew it was pointless since they couldn't understand her.
    "Well, that was no help at all," Conrad sighed. "Looks like we're gonna have to find our own way around these woods."
    "Fine with me," gisantes answered.
    For about ten minutes, Princess gisantes and Conrad wandered aimlessly through the woods. There wasn't much to see but eventually they found a stream that parted in two directions. They followed one of them until they reached a lagoon area. It looked rather magical and gisantes immediately decided she would like to live there.
    "But Pea, how are we going to survive here?" Conrad asked. "There's no pagkain and no clean drinking water."
    "Conrad, don't be so stupid," gisantes said. "Even Indians need a convenient store. I'm sure there's some place nearby that sells Evian bottles and nagyelo dinners. Okay, let's set try and make a fort on tuktok of this huge tree." As gisantes began to climb the tree, something rather terrifying happened. The puno came to life and a face appeared in its center.
    Pea jumped into Conrad's arms and screamed.
    "Oh, no need for that, child," sinabi the face in the tree.
    Suddenly, the beautiful cliff-jumping woman walked inside the lagoon and looked curiously at gisantes and Conrad.
    "Pocahontas, I was hoping you would visit today," sinabi the tree. "Don't be alarmed sa pamamagitan ng these two strangers. I can see into their souls...they mean no harm."
    "Hey, you're the girl who ran away from us earlier! Who are you?" gisantes exclaimed.
    Suddenly, the spirits of the Earth began to sing a haunting melody and the puno told gisantes and Conrad to listen with their hearts.
    "My name is Pocahontas," sinabi the woman.
    "Wow, the things you can't do these days sa pamamagitan ng just listening with you heart," gisantes was very impressed. "I am Princess Peanalita and this is my friend Conrad."
    "These are my friends, Meeko and Flit," smiled Pocahontas.
    "I don't see anyone..." answered Pea.
    "I think she's talking about the bird and the raccoon," sinabi Conrad.
    "Oh," sinabi Pea. "And what's your name or do we just call you creepy pag-awit tree?"
    "I am Grandmother Willow," answered the tree.
    "Uh huh," chuckled the princess. "I highly doubt you're my grandma. No one in my family carries the leaves for hair gene. So, Pokey, do you mind if I call you that? Who was that other girl you were with in the canoe?"
    "Oh her? That was my best friend Nakoma," answered Pocahontas. "I'm mga kaibigan with everyone really, even the tagak and the otter. Hmmm...Pea, Conrad, maybe you two can help me. I'm having a bit of a moral dilemma. You see, my father wants me to marry Kocoum."
    "Well, who the hell's that? His parents obviously didn't like him much if they named him Kocoum," gisantes responded, while brushing her hair with her fingers.
    "He's a warrior," Pocahontas answered. "I don't actually even know him very well but I do know that he is very serious and doesn't understand my free spirited nature. And lately, I've been having this strange dream about a spinning arrow. It spins and spins and spins until suddenly, it stops."
    "Oh, honey," gisantes laughed. "You need to stop doing meth or whatever it is that's giving you these freaky dreams. In ballet class, there was this girl I knew named Alice. She was always telling us about these weird dreams she kept having where she would go to some magical land with dancing cards and an invisible cat. We all thought she was a total lunatic. Anyway, the moral is, drugs are not good for your brain. And that concludes today's lesson."
    "Wait a second, the spirits of the Earth are telling me something...something's coming! Strange clouds?" Pocahontas began to climb up Grandmother Willow and when she reached the tuktok she stared out at the sky in shock.
    "What do you see?" asked Grandmother Willow.
    "Clouds," Pocahontas answered. "Strange clouds."
