It was the first time she had a day off in months, and she was determined to make the most of it. She got off work the evening before, dropped her boss off at his house, then took a detour on the way home to go to a scenic overview, look out at the park, and remember why she was putting herself through the work she was. She woke up to the sound of birds chirping, and the warm sun on her face. She sat up, and rubbed her eyes, and then came to the realization she wasn't at home. She looked around, and saw a forrest, with trees that were bigger then anything in the park. She stood up, and brushed herself off, then reached for her radio, only to remember it was in the back seat of the Jeep, which was in her driveway miles and miles away. She looked around, and saw a river. "Well, I guess I should follow it." She thought. She walked for hours, with nothing but trees around her, and then a few hours more, when she heard music. She rounded a corner, and saw a small village, with buildings that looked like they had been plucked out of Disney's Brave. She walked into the center of the village, where a large group of people were playing music, dancing, and drinking from what looked like a massive beer keg. She walked up to one of the villagers, who was slightly less busy than the rest, and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around, and she asked "Where am I?" He smiled and said "You're in the village of Oakwood, or at least just outside it." and then he looked at her clothes. "What is your story lass, and where are you from that you wear mead for clothes?" She thought for a second before answering, "I'm from a place called North Cascades National Park on the planet Earth."
