It appears that the animals might have had a change of heart. They might have decided that any publicity is good publicity. They might have decided that they just didn't know what they were going to do if they actually got rid of Kelly. They might have decided a lot of things, but for now they're content with the fact that after Kelly's little scare, surely she will be leaving with a greater respect for nature. (Yeah, right. Personally, I think that they just couldn't lower themselves to the level of the Avians and still be able to live the peaceful, happy life they've grown accustomed to living.)Kelly being Kelly, took advantage of Mark's guard being down to kiss him, much to the dismay of Cherry. Though, I do believe that the more urgent problem is the fact that said kiss appears to have torn a hole in the space time continuum and may potentially cause Cherry to be erased from existence. (How's that for gratitude?) Our only hope is that Cherry will be able to pull herself together before Kelly decides to stay any longer. (I'm sure she'll be fine. This isn't as bad as someone being shot or killed, but it would cause quite the scar on the minds of the impressionable young readers. Someone probably just got a little carried away with the blue, or ran out of pink.)
And so ends this thrilling chapter in the life of Mark Trail. Tune in next week to see what ne'erdowells and rapscallions our heroic man-about-forest will face next. Until then, keep your eyes on those Avians.
(Oh, and if you're waiting for the knock-down-drag-out fight between Kelly and Cherry, you can stop now. Nothing came of it. They went back to the lodge and said their goodbyes. The end.)
