         TITLE:  GEMR enters B&B's Paradise...and Survives!!
 

(The last time we saw GEMR, she was with BDC & JC, trying to recover
from sleeping on too many rocky hils)
 
BDC & JC got up early the next morning, and BDC decided to cook some
food while GEMR slept.  So, on with the coffee...start a fire and find
the frying pan..."no frying pan, wonder if GEMR would mind if I borrow
her's?"

JC hears BDC muttering about GEMR and wanders over to her bedsack.
Next thing GEMR knows, she's being kissed awake by her lovable friend,
JC the wonder horse.

"Well, hello to you, too.  It's morning, is it?  Sounds like someone
is cooking food over there.  Thanks for the wake-up call, hon.  Now,
come back down here.  You'll need to help me up.  I will *never* go up
to the mountains to get away from someone ever again!!"
 
JC bends his might head down, and waiting til GEMR hooks her hands
around his neck, slowly backs up til she is standing.

"THanks, JC.  Always knew I could count on you...*kiss*"
 
As GEMR heads to the lake to freshen up (can't look a mess for her
favorite cowboy :-), she smells the coffee and realizes the BDC has
things really cookin'

"Guess I'd better hurry this up, then"
 
So saying, she gets undressed, takes her special soap (made for her by
Blade) and washes up.  Climbing out of the lake, she senses something
and darts behind the tree.  Out wanders JC looking for her.
 
"You silly horse, I thought BDC was sneaking up on me.  After the last
attacks in the mountains, I'm careful who I'm near."
 
As she finishes getting dressed she realizes she had run from the
mountains so quickly, that she has no moccasins.
 
"Oh well, have to find some hide along the way to make a pair, JC.
Wanna give me a ride to the campsite?"

JC ambles over and gets down on his front legs, and GEMR climbs on his
back.  Getting back up, JC walks over to where BDC is standing, about
to go wake GEMR up.
 
"BDC, I'm over here."

"Did that horse wake you up?  JC..."
 
"Oh, don't yell at him.  It's not often I get kissed awake.  Very nice
way to wake up.  How's the food coming?  I only see coffee here."
 
"Slight prob.  I broke my pan and haven't replaced it yet.  Can I
borrow yours?  I hear it's pretty well-known."
 
*haha* "Yeah, well Mad Dog has met it, and can vouch for that.  I
don't mind...just treat it kindly."

As JC walks to the camp with GEMR on his back, BDC follows after
getting GEMR's frying pan.  Reaching the campsite, BDC notices GEMR
still on JC, and JC looking very protective.
 
"BDC, this crazy horse o'yours will not let me off.  You teachin' him
bad manners or somethun'?"
 
"JC, what is your prob?  Let the lady down!"
 
JC, who most definitely has a mind of his own, backs up and turns til
he's standing sideways.  Then BDC notices that GEMR has nothing on her
feet.

"GEMR, where are your moccasins?"
 
"Well, the reason I was up in the mountains was cause someone was
after me, and I had to take off so fast from there that they got left
behind.  I can skin myself a rabbit or fox and make me a new pair, so
I don' see what the fuss is 'bout!"

"Well, JC was taught to treat a lady with manners, so it looks like
you is stuck up there.  I may have the answer tho...JC, take her to
the wagon, and then let her down..and stay out of those beans!"
 
After starting the food cooking, BDC joins GEMR at the wagon.  Diggin
in the back, he finally mutters, "ah HA!  Found 'em"
 
"What?  Cowboy boots?  Will they fit
 
"They should. Try 'em on and we'll have some grub and get a move-on."
 
"Where are we headin' to?"

"That's fer me to know and you to find out.  By the way, how good are
you with a rifle?"

"About as good as I am with my whip 'n frying pan.  That help ya?"
 
"Good.  Catch this then.  You'll need it where we're goin."
 
Catching the rifle BDC tossed her, she set it down, and put on the
boots.  As she was gettin' ready to leave, she puts the rifle in its
holster on JC and walks with him to the fire.
 
 
"The boots fit fine and I put the rifle on JC.  I'll put my whip and
other stuff there too, after we eat."

"Just so's you'll know..the way we're headin' is to my place -- thru
those mountains up yonder behind us."
 
"BDC!  You know why I don't like mountains!  I don't know if those
damn fools are up there still or not!"
 
"Now, GEMR, I said *thru* those mountains...on the other side is
something wonderful that has a special place just for you (and a few
selected other)...B&B's Paradise..NOW are ya intrested?"
 
"What are we waitin' fer?"
 
                                        END OF PART I

GEMR
BDC/JC
