"Come on Kaity", Lance said grabbing onto her hand as they trudged through the jungle.

"I can't go on much longer Lance, I.. I..have to use the privy!!!!!!" She said almost collapsing as she used the last of her energy to speak.

Lance looked around for a spot for Kaity to relieve herself. 

"There's an opening in the plants over there, hurry up. We have only an hour left till sundown, then we shall have to camp.. We need to find the lost monkey jewels before AJ and his wench find them."

Shaking in her boots.."You.. You want me to go over there alone?" Pointing to where Lance directed her. 

"I'm afeared Lance.. I've never ventured any further then 10 feet away from you while in the jungle." Eyes pleading for Lance to accompany her.

"Darling, I can't be with you while you're using the privy. I'll be right here, if you call out I shall be at your side in no more the 10 seconds, I promise." He replied, kissing the tip of her nose.

"Alright." kaity started heading towards her designated potty spot. Muttering to herself. "Only 10 seconds he says.. what if that 10 seconds is life or death.. Oh i do dread the jungle" She jumped at the sound of a monkey swinging by her. 

Reaching her destination, Kaity assumed the position after pulling down her britches, when all of the sudden another monkey came and pushed her back, causing her to fall in a deep hole... "LLAAAAAAAANCE!!!!!!!" toppling over the roots from the tree she was now under.

Lance came running for Kaity.. "Kaity darling.. Where have you disappeared to?" 

Looking around, only to be pushed forward into the hole that of which Kaity had fallen. "Oof, Ouch.. Grr.. Whoa.. Ouch.. Dammit.. Ouch.. Oof." and finally he stopped, landing on top of Kaity with her britches still around her ankles.

"Oh do be careful, Lance. I'm most bruised from my fall" She told him, pulling up her pants. "What's this?" Taking out a box of matches from her pocket, she lit a torch that was right above her head. 

"Oh my, but i do believe we literally stumbled into the secret cave of which the monkeys jewels are hidden."

"Amazing, I'm certainly glad you decided to stop us to use to privy now." Lance said taking the torch and leading the way..

*************************************

"AJ, I don't know why you insist on being the finder of these jewels.. it's not like you're not filthy rich already.. Couldn't you just let Lance and his woman find them and be happy that they're no longer missing?"

"Sir Lance and I go way back.. We have issues my Dear Drucilla, and for those issues, he will not outdo me in this hunt." AJ said, anticipating seeing lance again.. 

Their duel from in the past was deemed misbegotten, simply because AJ might have cheated a smidge. "Come Drucilla, we have tracks to follow."

*********************************

"I don't believe what is before my eyes." Kaity stared at the monkey jewels.. "Davy Jones really had an emerald nose ring?"

"It appears so darling., now it all makes sense.. this whole excersion was misleading, with the spelling of monkey being with a y as opposed to another e"

Kaity Looked at lance like *how does that make sense*.

"Oh posh, Whoever hid this was just uneducated in the ways of the real monkees." He said, smiling at kaity. "My dear, I do believe our journey is nearing it's end."

AJ walked in, toting Drucilla. "Not so fast Sir Lance, I do believe you have something that belongs to me."

"We've been through this before AJ, it is mine, it is my birthright."

"A duel till the deaths then?"

"Noooo!!!!!" Kaity ran out in front of lance. "There will be no fighting in the sacred Monkee cave, and definitely no death!"

Lance Looked at his future bride."You're right my dear, we shall settle this maturely, like grown adults." He said, glaring at AJ. "Are you game AJ."

AJ scowled, sizing up Lance. "It's on!" 

**************************
~Back in the states, In the Bass Mansion~

"You cheated!!!!" AJ said

"I sir, won fair and square." lance said standing up grabbing his jewels, and the original piece that caused all this fighting in the first place.

"Aye.. `Tis so, Sir Lance. You have won fair and square. I will take my hurt pride and leave." He said putting down the playstation controllers and leaving the NBA game in the playstation.. his shoulders drooping, he leaves..

"Well done my dearheart" Kaity said giving her lover a quick kiss. "I shall meet you in our chambers when you are done cleaning up."

"I'll be there with the quickness darling." Looking around the room, and then at his prized possession.. He walks over to it. "I've been through a lot to keep you, my mother passed you on to me , and with me you shall stay.. looking around the room before he leaves, clutching onto his New Kids On The Block lunch box.. "Never will you be taken for me"..
