There wasn't any point in just staying put! That'd be awful!!
Then, Simon had an idea, or so it seemed... Save those poor creatures!? What about save the POOR GEOCACHERS!? "Uh, Simon, that SNOWMONSTER looks pretty violent! I think we have to help those poor people, the ones with the STICKS!" Which first of all... Why were they carrying sticks that was wierd?? Heh. It was weird not playing a wizard. Ahem anyways right back in character. "Yeah! That's brilliant!! Let's find some sticks!!" Alright. Where would they find sticks.
AHA! The third year took his pack off his shoulders and dug into it looking for something very particular. After a couple seconds of searching, he pulled out three pencils. Good thing he left them there after the muggle studies lesson. Hadley was right, these did come in handy. Throwing them onto the floor, Zander looked around at his friend and pretend O__O girlfriend "Look there are some sticks we can use!"

STICKS?
SWEET MOTHER OF MERLIN!
Simon blinked at his mates for a brief second before facepalming. Great. This is WHAT he got for hiking with his two muggle best friends. Magic was awesome and all but hiding it from friends was horrible. It was a big secret that the boy had to keep inside of him for he feared that if he showed them it, they wouldn't like him anymore. He didn't want to lose either one of them. "You both may run out with sticks but if they eat you for dinner, its not my fault," he said abruptly holding his hands up. "Look if we run out with sticks like those people then we're just going to annoy those beasts more. And we'll all end up on the menu."
Zander, it seemed, was totally on board with Sophie's stick idea. Simon didn't seem too convinced for some reason, but HEY--it was working for those people out there battling the Snow Monster. They hadn't died yet, at least! That was always a good thing! A movement from Zander caught her attention and real Sophie looked to see that he'd dropped some pencils on the ground.
...pencils?
Oh, STICKS!
"Sticks! We've got sticks!" she exclaimed. She scooped one up and encouraged Simon to do the same. He still didn't think it was such a good idea, though, so she opened her mouth to prepare to launch into a speech as to why the whole stick idea was a good one when...

And someone gagged the baby. A hostage for a hostage, yeah? Still no notice of the muggle onlookers. Too busy battling for dear life in the most unfortunate of circumstances. Lex never thought her life would end like this. She hadn't made her millions as yet!! Have a heart you great beast!!
MILLIONS?!
There was a chance to make money?! Well if THAT was the case, Sophie wasn't just going to stand by in the trees and let those people out there make all the money. She was going out there to get involved! Not because she wanted to, but because there was NO MONEY involved in staying in the trees.
So armed with a pencil as a stick, Sophie just barreled out into the thick of things with a warrior type sound.
"WAHHHHHHH!" she said.
