Apetrully sighed as he walked through the thick forest. He had taken up morning walks after he realized he was losing his touch with nature. Right now he was walking through a dense forest that was to the right of Big Greens head quarters, and it was very humid. His clothes were clinging too him with sweat, he was pretty deep in the woods. He stopped for a moment and, leaning against a tree, unscrewed the cap on his canteen and took a drink. He sighed and stared at the hot pink container, he had to use Mystiqe Sonias after mighty ray used his for "lightning practice".
For about the 20th time he shifted in his costume uncomfortably. It was just so hot! If only he could take it off! For just a moment, thats all he wanted... Wait, why couldn't he? He was in the middle of a forest, so there was no harm taking it off here, where no one could see, right? Against his better judgement he agreed, and headed in further into the jungle.
As he walked, sometimes using the trees for support, he came upon a small clearing. There was a small pond with a large, smooth rock beside it, along with smaller pebbles lining the shore. The other part of it was grassy and perfect for laying on to look up at the stars.
The monkey smiled, this would be perfect! He approached the pond, pulling off his... "helmet" and setting it on the grass next to the small boulder. He sighed in satisfaction as he quickly stripped out of his costume, placing it neatly on the rock. For a moment he just stood there, letting the almost non-existent breeze roll through his fur. oh God, it had been so long since he had felt this. He sat down at the edge of the pond, sticking his toes in, he began to hum a song softly. It was an old piece, usually preformed by several different monkeys with several different instruments.**
When suddenly a loud gasp interrupted his song, the small red monkey threw himself around to face who the on-looker was. Apetrully had a pretty good guess as to who it was, and when he faced him, his suspicions were confirmed.
'well, I'm screwed' was the first thought in the commanders head, as he faced a shocked Highroller.
"you're... you're..." Highroller was dumbstruck, his worst enemy was an animal! Highroller did the only logical (or in his mind it was) thing: he ran. He turned tail and ran, he was just so confused. How did he, an almighty human, keep losing to a lowly animal?
Highroller ran into one of his many "minions" and ordered it to take him home, now. When he was safely at home, a plan began to form in that messed up mind of his.
It was obvious he had been hiding his monkeyness from Big Green, so why not hold it against him? Blackmail, that was the word! His face twisted into a horrid smile. Oh, the things he could make his do! Highroller got comfortable in his favorite chair and began to plan.
This was going to be fun.
**the song he's humming is viva la vida by coldplay (not the words, just the toon)
