Percy pov: I'm so excited that my younger cousin is coming for a visit and I can't wait for her to meet everyone.
"Percy! Contain yourself!" Brenda said with a smile, I knew she was excited to see Cassie. "I can't help it!" I replied happily.
Migo and his friends from the S.E.S. were confused by my behavior. "Who are we waiting for again?" Meechee asked us in confusion.
I turned to my Yeti friends and explained that my cousin Cassie is coming and that she's the one who built the translators for us.
"She made them?" Kolka asked amazement, I remember that the translators were for me to use when I was near other animals.
"Yep! I can't wait until she sees that her invention allows us to communicate." I replied to her, just then Brenda tapped me on the shoulder.
I turned to see a snowmobile stop a few feet away and the person took off their helmet. "That was a long trip." A soft voice said to herself.
My Yeti friends were surprised to see a sixteen year old girl with light tan skin, fiery red hair that was shoulder-length with blue-gray eyes.
I saw that she was wearing a pink winter jacket with a long blue sleeved shirt sticking out of it along with dark blue jeans and white gloves.
Brenda took note of her pink snow boots. "CASSIE!" Brenda and I shouted happily, Cassie was startled a bit as she turned to face us.
"Hey you guys, long time no see." Cassie replied with a smile, I hugged my cousin tightly. "Cuz, I can't breath." Cassie told me, I let go.
I apologized and she just laughed it off before hugging Brenda. "What's with the Yeti's?" Cassie asked us, she hid behind me a little.
Brenda and I told Cassie the whole story about how I met the Yeti's and then added that her translators allow us to communicate.
"Wow...I didn't see that coming." Cassie said in shock, she got over that and introduced herself to the Yeti's and they did the same.
We all took this time for them to get to know my cousin and she told us what she's been up to at school before it was closed down.
"...so the teacher tell us to be careful during the project but the twins decided to do it their way." Cassie told us, Fleem asked what happened.
"They blew the whole science department up and after everyone evacuated, the principle told us he was shutting the school down." Cassie replied.
"What for?" Gwangi asked her, I wanted to know as well. "It's so the school can be repaired." Cassie answered him, so now we know the reason.
Just then I saw the Stonekeeper coming our way. "Meechee, your father." I told her, she turned and saw her Dad. "Daddy!" Meechee greeted.
"It's time to come back." Stonekeeper told them, the five Yeti's were upset that they had to leave so I glanced to my cousin silently asking.
"Before you go...how about a lullaby?" Cassie asked as her face redden, my friends nodded 'yes' happily while Stonekeeper was wary.
[Play Cossack Lullaby with English Lyrics]
[Cassie]
Sleep, good boy, my beautiful,
Bayushki bayu
Quietly the moon is looking
Into your cradle.
I will tell you fairy tales
And sing you little songs,
But you must slumber, with you little eyes closed,
Bayushki bayu.
The time will come, then you will learn
The pugnacious life,
Boldly you'll stem your foot into the stirrup
And take the gun.
The saddle-cloth for your battle horse
I will sew you from silk.
Sleep now, my dear little child,
Bayushki bayu.
You will look like a hero
And be a Cossack deep in your heart.
I will hurry to accompany you,
You will just wave your hand
How many secret bitter tears
Will I shed that night!
Sleep, now, my dear little child,
Bayushki bayu.
I will die from longing,
I will wait inconsolably,
I will pray the whole day long,
And at night I'll tell fortunes
I will think that you are in trouble
Far away in a foreign land.
Sleep now, as long as you don't know sorrows,
Bayushki bayu.
I will give you on your way
A small holy icon,
And when you pray to God, you'll
Put it right in front of you
When preparing yourself for the dangerous fight
Please remember your mother.
Sleep, good boy, my beautiful,
Bayushki bayu.
Everyone except Brenda and I were stunned by Cassie's beautiful singing. "That was pretty." Kolka cooed, Cassie smiled and blushed. "Thank you." Cassie replied shyly.
"What language b was that?" Migo asked her, she told him that the song was in Russian and that she learned it from her friend who lives in Russia. "Wow." Migo responded in awe.
I noticed that the Stonekeeper was entranced by my cousin's singing. "Maybe she can help him understand us humans." I muttered, my friends headed home for the night.
Brenda, Cassie and I then went back to the hotel so we could talk about our plans for tomorrow and how Cassie can help us teach our friends about humans before we fell asleep.
First chapter done! I don't own the movie Smallfoot or the song in this chapter, please review and no flames!
