Lost

"We are not lost!"

John stopped dead in his tracks and talked to Rodney's back. "Face it, Rodney, your sense of direction sucks."

Rodney turned around abruptly. "My sense of direction sucks? Who's the one that brought us here in the first place?"

"Hey, I knew where we were going!"

"Oh, yes, right. You knew." Rodney waved one hand up and down and then in circles. "You already knew as a fact that this was a complete dead end and a waste of time, like I said."

"It wouldn't be a waste of time if you had stayed in the path that I was going." John pointed at Rodney first, then at himself as he said it.

Rodney stepped closer. "Please! You had no idea where you were going. Someone had to interfere before you got us lost in these woods."

"And you did such a great job at that!"

Rodney opened his mouth once, then closed it. Then, he took a deep breath. "I'm not lost! You may be lost, because for a pilot your sense of direction sucks, but I am not."

John put his hands on his hips. "Oh, really? Then where are we?"

Rodney turned and looked around almost a full three hundred sixty degrees. "We are going towards the gate," he finally said. "That way." He pointed North.

"The gate is not North, Rodney."

"What?" Rodney shook his head. "That's not North. It's South."

John almost laughed. "You gotta be kidding me, Rodney. You were going the wrong way all along!"

"You were that one going the wrong way. I fixed our direction." Rodney waved a hand. "South." He waved it at the opposite direction. "North."

"No, no, no, no, no." John stepped closer. "That is North and that is South." He pointed.

"Look, you are in no conditions to be leading our journey. You must obviously have hit your head at the crash. The uninjured person should be the one leading." Rodney turned. "South." He started walking.

"Rodney!" John hurried to catch up. "You are going in the wrong direction!"
