The Native American woman was strikingly beautiful and had a mysterious quality about her that couldn't be replicated. She stood proudly at the top of the cliff as leaves swirled around her majestic figure.
    "Damn, if I was a lesbian, I'd bang her in a heartbeat," Pea told Conrad.
    "Maybe she knows of a place where we can stay," Conrad suggested.
    "Good thinking," Pea responded. As she and Conrad paddled their raft closer to shore, they noticed another Native woman sitting in a canoe beneath the cliff. She yelled up at the girl on the cliff but neither Conrad nor Pea understood the language they were speaking in.
    "How are we supposed to ask two chicks for help when they don't even speak English?" Pea 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 top of the cliff. Although she was extremely graceful about it, Pea 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!" Pea yelled from afar. "We need some help!"
    The two Native women looked shock and immediately rowed away, as fast as possible. Pea 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," Pea answered.
    For about ten minutes, Princess Pea 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 Pea immediately decided she would like to live there.
    "But Pea, how are we going to survive here?" Conrad asked. "There's no food and no clean drinking water."
    "Conrad, don't be so stupid," Pea said. "Even Indians need a convenient store. I'm sure there's some place nearby that sells Evian bottles and frozen dinners. Okay, let's set try and make a fort on top of this huge tree." As Pea began to climb the tree, something rather terrifying happened. The tree came to life and a face appeared in its center.
    Pea jumped into Conrad's arms and screamed.
    "Oh, no need for that, child," said the face in the tree.
    Suddenly, the beautiful cliff-jumping woman walked inside the lagoon and looked curiously at Pea and Conrad.
    "Pocahontas, I was hoping you would visit today," said the tree. "Don't be alarmed by 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?" Pea exclaimed.
    Suddenly, the spirits of the Earth began to sing a haunting melody and the tree told Pea and Conrad to listen with their hearts.
    "My name is Pocahontas," said the woman.
    "Wow, the things you can't do these days by just listening with you heart," Pea 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," said Conrad.
    "Oh," said Pea. "And what's your name or do we just call you creepy singing 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 friends with everyone really, even the heron 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," Pea 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," Pea 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 top she stared out at the sky in shock.
    "What do you see?" asked Grandmother Willow.
    "Clouds," Pocahontas answered. "Strange clouds."
