One morning in Jamestown, John Smith was getting ready to ask Pocahontas to take her out for a hike in the woods.

Once John was ready, he walked out and went to Pocahontas's village. When he got there, he looked around. Then he saw Pocahontas walking out of her house.

"Good morning, John," said Pocahontas.

"Good morning to you, too," said John.

"What are you doing here?" asked Pocahontas.

"I just wanted to ask you a question," said John.

"Oh, okay," said Pocahontas. "What is it?"

John cleared his throat. "So, I am thinking about going on a hike in the woods," he said. "And I just wanted to ask if you would like to come with me."

Pocahontas became excited. "Of course, John!" she said. "But I have to ask my father for permission."

"Okay, I'll wait for you," said John.

With that, Pocahontas went back inside her house.

Meeko, Flit, and Percy followed Pocahontas as she walked over to her father, Chief Powhatan.

"What is it, my daughter?" Powhatan asked Pocahontas.

"John Smith asked me to take a hike with him," said Pocahontas. "Can I go?"

Powhatan was unsure, but he knew what his daughter wanted. "You have your mother's spirit," he said. "Of course you can go."

Pocahontas hugged her father. "Thanks, father," she said.

"Your welcome," said Powhatan.

Then, Pocahontas and Powhatan pulled away from their hug.

"Why don't you ask Nakoma if she would like to go with you?" asked Powhatan.

"Okay, I'll ask her," said Pocahontas.

With that, Pocahontas went out of her house with Meeko, Flit, and Percy following her to meet with John.

"My father said I can come," said Pocahontas.

"Good," said John. "I'll ask Thomas if he would like to come, too."

"And I'll ask Nakoma," said Pocahontas.

So Pocahontas went to find Nakoma while John went to find Thomas.

Meeko, Flit, and Percy waited where they were.

Pocahontas walked over to Nakoma. "Hey, Nakoma," she said.

"Yes, Pocahontas?" said Nakoma.

"John Smith is taking me on a hike in the woods," said Pocahontas.

"Did your father say you can go?" asked Nakoma.

"Yes," said Pocahontas. "Would you like to come with us?"

"Sure," said Nakoma. "Sounds like fun."

"Come on, let's go wait for John," said Pocahontas.

So Pocahontas and Nakoma waited outside with Meeko, Flit, and Percy for John to return.

Meanwhile, in Jamestown, John walked over to Thomas.

"Hey, Thomas," said John.

"What is it, John?" asked Thomas.

"I am taking Pocahontas out for a hike in the woods," said John. "Would you like to come with us?"

"Okay, I guess," said Thomas.

"All right, then, let's go meet with Pocahontas," said John.

So John and Thomas went to Pocahontas's village where Pocahontas and Nakoma were waiting with Meeko, Flit, and Percy.

"So, is everyone ready?" John asked the others.

"Ready!" Pocahontas, Nakoma, and Thomas said at the same time.

Meeko purred in agreement while Flit chirped and Percy barked.

"Then let's go!" said John.

So the gang walked into the forest with Meeko, Flit, and Percy following them.

"I've never actually been on a hike before," said Nakoma.

"Neither have I," said Thomas.

"Well, you'll like it," said Pocahontas. "It'll be so much fun!"

"It's a good thing there aren't any wild animals around here," said John.

"Wait, what?" said Nakoma.

"Did you say something, John?" asked Thomas.

"No," said John. "It's nothing. Just enjoy the experience."

The gang continued to walk, and they stopped at a river.

"You know, my father always told me to be steady like the river," said Pocahontas.

"Oh, really?" asked John.

"Yes," said Pocahontas. "But it's not steady at all."

The others chuckled a bit.

"Well, I guess we better get going," said John.

So the gang continued to walk.

After a few miles of walking, the gang became tired.

"What do we do now?" asked Pocahontas.

"There's not much we can do now," said John. "All we can do is lie down and rest for a little while."

So the gang lied own on the grass and rested for awhile. Suddenly, they heard growling.

"What was that?" asked Thomas.

"I don't know," said Pocahontas.

"Percy, did you make that noise?" John asked Percy.

Percy shook his head in disagreement.

Then, the gang sensed something behind them. They turned around and saw a wild bear growling at them.

"Okay, maybe there are wild animals around here," said John. "Run!"

So the gang ran off and the bear chased them.

"I knew this wasn't a good idea!" said Thomas.

"What do we do?" asked Nakoma.

"We can't just hurt that bear," said Pocahontas. "We have to stop it,"

"But how?" asked John. "That's a wild bear!"

"I know," said Pocahontas. "But there must be some way we can stop it."

"So, what's the plan?" asked Thomas.

"Why don't we try calming the bear down?" said Pocahontas.

"Okay, but be careful," said John.

With that, Pocahontas ran towards the bear. "Stop!" she shouted.

So the bear stopped running.

"What's wrong with you?" Pocahontas said to the bear. "You're not gonna hurt any of us. You need to calm down."

Then, the spirit of the wind blew through Pocahontas's hair and then through the bear, making it calm down.

"It's working!" said Pocahontas. "The bear has calmed down."

The others cheered.

The bear calmly went back into the bushes.

"I'm so sorry it wasn't as fun as it was supposed to be, Pocahontas," John said sadly. "We can go home now, if you want."

"It's all right," said Pocahontas. "This was actually a lot more fun than I thought it would be."

"Really?" said John.

"Yes," said Pocahontas. "As long as we stick together, I'd love to have more fun. Race you to the river, everyone!"

So the gang ran to the river with Meeko, Flit, and Percy following them once again. They had the best experience they'd ever have.
