Chapter 1: A Different Meeting
.
.
.
It was a nice day in Mascot Manor where some Mascots are training.
"Catch!" Woofer said, throwing the ball of Skeeta.
Skeeta caught the ball Woofer threw. Skeeta ran towards Woofer, Hawka, and Bernie. Skeeta scored a goal.
"Hah! Bombers rule!" Skeeta cheered.
"Pfft. Bombers stink. Nobody can get past to my Tigers!" Stripes said.
"C'mon! Be nice to Skeeta!" Hawka lectured.
"What!? I was giving opinions on Skeeta's team!" Stripes said.
"Keep your opinion to yourself.." Hawka said.
"Both of you, calm down!" Claude lectured.
Hawka and Stripes calmed down.
"Man, it's getting hot out.. Wanna get something cool in the fridge?" Stripes asked.
Some Mascots nodded and then went inside the Mascot Manor. When Stripes went towards the fridge and opened the fridge door, the noticed that they were no more popsicles left..
"Well, out of luck guys.. We're out of popsicles." Stripes said.
"Well, should we get some more popsicles or should we move on with the drinks?" Woofer asked.
"Well, let's get the popsicles later." Stripes said, giving some mascots the drinks.
"Should we get back to training?" Claude asked.
"Well, it's really hot outside, so we can't train if we get really hot. We could've gotten ourselves a heatstroke!" Skeeta said.
"Calm down, Skeeta. Everything's gonna be fine! When we cool down, we should be OK!" Stripes said.
After some Mascots cooled off, they went back outside.
"Alright. We should get to training!" Stripes said.
"Hey guys, I'm gonna go for a jog. I will be right back!" Claude said.
"OK, just don't stay outside while you're jogging in the hot weather for too long! OK?" Woofer asked.
"OK! But one last thing! Can you let Skeeta keep in eye on me in case something terrible happens?" Claude asked.
"Sure, go for it Skeeta!" Stripes said.
"Who, me?" Skeeta asked.
"Yes, you! In case Claude passes out or gets a heatstroke, you have to keep an eye on him while he's jogging, alright?" Stripes asked, telling Skeeta to keep an eye on Claude.
"Alright!" Skeeta said, flying towards Claude.
"Make sure to not fly in the hot weather for too long!" Stripes said.
Skeeta nodded while flying towards Claude.
Not much later..
Skeeta was following Claude while keeping an eye on him while flying. Skeeta had to make sure that Claude doesn't jog in the hot weather for too long. When Skeeta went towards Claude, he saw Skeeta, still flying.
"Well Claude, how much time can you make it without anything terrible happens?" Skeeta asked.
"Only for long. It'll be fine.." Claude said.
Skeeta was very confused about what Claude said.
"Are you sure about that? If you jog for too long in this hot weather, then you would pass out due to a heatstroke." Skeeta said.
"Don't be that guy, Skeeta! I'll be fine! Nothing terrible is gonna happen!" Claude repiled.
"Well, Claude. If you jog for too long in this hot weather, you would get a heatstroke." Skeeta said.
"Like I said, Skeeta. I'll be fine.." Claude said.
"OK then.. I'll make sure nothing bad happens.." Skeeta replied.
40 Minutes Later..
Skeeta was starting to get very worried about Claude. He thinks that something terrible is gonna happen, so he flew towards him.
"Claude, I think you have been jogging for 1 hour and 20 minutes straight. I think we should get back to the Mascot Manor.." Skeeta said.
"OK then.. Let's *pant* go.." Claude panted.
"Are you alright Claude? You seem really sweaty." Skeeta asked.
"Yep.. It doesn't last long.." Claude sighed.
Skeeta was very worried.
"I think we should get back to the Mascot Manor, it's getting to hot outside! We could've gotten ourselves a heatstroke if we are outside in this hot weather for too long!" Skeeta replied, in a worried way.
Claude jogged back to the Mascot Manor as Skeeta followed him while he was flying.
20 Minutes Later..
Skeeta and Claude were both panting as the hot weather became worse when Claude was jogging back to the Mascot Manor with Skeeta.
"OK *pant*, Claude. I hope *pant* we should *pant* get back *pant* to the *pant* Mascot *pant* Manor by now.." Skeeta panted.
Skeeta sat down and fanned himself with his hand, leaving a little breeze of wind.
"Well, Stripes told you that you should never jog in the hot weather for long enough now." Skeeta said.
No answer from Claude as he kneeled onto the hot sidewalk.
"Well, Claude. I think we should be fine by now. Should we go back to the Mascot Manor now?" Skeeta asked.
No answer from Claude as he was getting up, reviving his vision to prevent himself from passing out as he panted.
"Are you answering my question?" Skeeta asked.
No answer from Claude. When Claude looked at Skeeta, he fell onto him.
"Watch it!" Skeeta said as Claude fell onto his torso.
Skeeta felt Claude's feather, and it was very blazing hot, even sweaty at most times. Skeeta shook as he saw him.
"Claude? Are you alright!?" Skeeta asked.
No answer. Claude fell unconscious.
"Claude!" Skeeta cried as he was trying to wake Claude up.
Claude didn't wake up. Skeeta grabbed something just to wake him up. He grabbed a cold bottle of water, and then pour a little bit of it onto Claude head, then onto a small towel. He placed the cold, damp towel onto Claude's head, limbs, and neck. Then, he placed the two tightly closed, cold water bottles onto Claude's head and neck.
"Hey! What's happening out here?" A voice asked.
A voice was heard, and Skeeta was worried that he needs some help for Claude. But he shook when he saw a crow that was similar to Claude, but with longer hair.
"W-Who are you? And what's your name?" Skeeta asked.
"I'm Carla, I just wanted to know what's going on.." Carla said.
"Well, Claude isn't answering me when he passed out. Stripes told him not to jog in the hot weather for so long, but he did anyway! So I need some help!" Skeeta cried.
"Well, OK then. What treatments have you been treating to Claude?" Carla asked.
"Well, I gave him a cold damp towel onto Claude's head, onto his neck, and onto his limbs, then after that, I gave him 2 tightly closed cold water bottles onto his head and onto his head." Skeeta said.
"Then what happened?" Carla asked.
"Nothing works, because he wasn't waking up after I was treating him to cool down!" Skeeta said.
"Alright! I will call the paramedics!" Carla said, calling 911.
When she called 911, they waited for the paramedics to arrive. As fast as they can, the paramedics have arrived, just in 4 minutes! When the paramedics went towards Claude, they placed him onto a comfy bed, then treated him until he woke up.
"Ugh.. What happened.." Claude groaned as he woke up..
"Claude! You're alive!" Skeeta cheered.
Skeeta tried to run towards him, but Carla stopped him.
"Hold on, Skeeta. They have to take him back to Mascot Manor first." Carla said.
Skeeta shook as she knew what the Mascot Manor is.
"You know what the Mascot Manor is?" Skeeta shook.
"Yeah, when I was jogging, I saw a house of animals playing rugby.. So I kept jogging until I took multiple breaks while drink some cold water, which helps me cool down.." Carla said.
"While they take Claude back to Mascot Manor, are we able to go back to?" Skeeta asked.
"I'm pretty sure we will. Follow me!" Carla said.
"Alright then! You need some cold water first, in case you can cool down." Skeeta said, giving a cold water bottle to Carla.
"Thanks." Carla said, opening the cold water bottle.
"Hold on, guys. You need to get in the ambulance, in case you get really unconscious if you jog in the hot weather for too long." The Great Pyrenees Paramedic said.
Skeeta and Carla agreed and got inside the ambulance.
"Now, I want you to keep an eye on Claude while we take you guys back to the Mascot Manor." The Golden Retriever Paramedic said.
"How did you know about the Mascot Manor!?" Carla asked.
"Well, remember when there was a heat exhaustion from Skeeta's friend, Hawka? We should get you guys there to the Mascot Manor as soon as we can!" The Great Pyrenees Paramedic said.
"Alright.." Skeeta said.
Claude woke up and then shook when he saw another crow that was similar to himself, but with longer hair.
"W-Who are you?" Claude asked.
Claude was looking right to left.
"My name's Carla. What's your name?" Carla asked.
"Uh, Claude.." Claude said.
"Get some rest, Mr. Claude. We will get there as soon as we can." The Golden Retriever Paramedic said as he was placing a cold damp towel on his head.
When the ambulance got to the Mascot Manor, Woofer looked onto the window, then shook.
"Where is Claude right now? It's been an hour and 20 minutes, and he still hasn't came back." Bernie asked.
"Uh, guys? This isn't good.." Woofer shook as he looked at the window.
"What are you talking about? There's nothing outside.." Sam said looking at the window.
Sam shook as he saw an ambulance outside.
"Guys. Woofer's right. This can't be good." Sam shook.
Some mascots went outside and they were in shock.
"What's going on!? Is Claude hurt!?" Syd panicked as he was running back and forth.
Barry check to see Claude, and he wasn't hurt.
"Syd, Claude's not hurt." Barry said.
"Then what does it look like!?" Syd cried.
The two dog paramedics went towards the mascots.
"Well, the real reason is that a crow named Carla called 911 while Skeeta was treating Claude to wake up. We came here and we arrived towards the two mascots, Carla and Skeeta. I talked to the second paramedic about what's going on with Claude after Carla called 911 while Skeeta was treating him. The second Paramedic said that he found Claude's results, and Claude had a brief heatstroke, which he was jogging in the hot weather for 1 hour and 20 minutes. He has been unconscious for but a little bit, then his other results were dizziness, headaches, and mild nausea." The Great Pyrenees Paramedic explained.
Syd was panicking in horror, but the Great Pyrenees Paramedic told him to calm down.
"Luckily, Claude is feeling a little better now! He no longer has a headache or nausea. But he still has dizziness, so he needs to drink some cold water and needs to get some rest for a while." The Great Pyrenees Paramedic said.
The Golden Retriever Paramedic asked Claude if he can be able to stand up and/or walk again.
"Claude, are you able to walk or stand up again?" The Golden Retriever Paramedic asked.
Claude stood up, then tried to walk. He was walking in dizziness.
"OK, so you are able to stand up, but not able to walk while you are a dizzy. So I think I should help you get inside the house.." The Golden Retriever Paramedic said.
"Me, Barry, and Carla will help.." The Great Pyrenees Paramedic said.
The Great Pyrenees Paramedic, Barry, and Carla helped Claude to get inside the Mascot Manor, then the Great Pyrenees Paramedic placed Claude onto his bed in his room. The three went towards the Golden Retriever Paramedic.
"OK, he should get some rest by now.." The Great Pyrenees Paramedic said.
"Is he gonna be alright?" Stripes asked.
"Yes.. He is.." The Golden Retriever Paramedic said.
The two dog paramedics said bye to the mascots, then went back to the hospital. All 11 mascots and Carla went back inside, and then cooled off a little bit.
Later..
Carla waited as Claude was about to get up after his rest. Lots of time later, Claude woke up, and he wasn't dizzy anymore, however, he was still in a mild fatigue. Claude got up, then went towards Carla.
"How are you feeling, Claude?" Carla asked.
"A l-little better." Claude yawned.
"Are you alright? You look tired." Carla asked.
"Yeah, just woke up from all that rest.." Claude said.
"Well, who wants some supper Sam made?" Stripes asked.
10 Mascots agreed, except for Claude. He didn't answer.
"Uh, what about Claude?" Stripes asked, walking towards Claude.
"Well, he was just a little tired from all that rest." Carla said.
"Well, maybe some supper will make your tiredness go away?" Stripes asked.
"No.. I'm just *yawn* too tired to eat.." Claude said.
"Alright then. We will save a bowl of supper for you tomorrow." Stripes said, placing the bowl filled with supper in the fridge.
"You should get back to bed for more rest, you will feel better when you wake up.." Carla said.
Claude nodded and went to his room, then rested.
"Well, is it okay for me just to stay here for a bit?" Carla asked.
"Well, you can!" Stripes said.
"Thanks. I should be able to stay for 2 days. Then I should go home, I should be ready for the Crows Women's game!" Carla said.
"Alrighty then!" Stripes said.
That morning..
Claude woke up, now in better shape, still a little tired. Claude went to the kitchen and saw some breakfast that was already made, whole 10 mascots and Carla are already eating it.
"Morning!" Jock greeted.
"Morning.." Claude yawned.
"How are you feeling now?" Carla asked.
"A little tired, but I'm all better now!" Claude said.
"Nice! Come sit down! We saved some breakfast just for you!" Hawka said.
Claude sat down then ate some breakfast. After they ate breakfast, they went outside to make sure the weather isn't hot. The temperature is 53 degrees, so they are fine to train long enough. When they are done training, they all rested from long enough.
"That was a nice training sequence. We should do it again soon when the weather isn't hot." Sam said.
"Yeah." Carla said.
Hey, Carla?" Claude asked.
"Yes?" Carla asked.
"Do you remember me?" Claude asked.
Carla had flashbacks when she and Claude met during their high-school years.
"Yes, I do remember you.." Carla said.
"OK, I just wanna make sure.." Claude said.
"So, do you wanna go out with me?" Carla asked.
Claude blushed of what Carla said. When Claude was about to say "Yes", Syd sang the K-I-S-S-I-N-G song.
"Carla and Claude, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-" Before Syd finished singing, a rugby ball was thrown at him.
"Be nice to them!" Woofer lectured.
"What!? I was just making them cute and happy!" Syd said.
"Both of you calm down. Let Claude and Carla finish their sentences.." Sam lectured.
"Now, where were we? Oh right! Now, will you go out with me?" Carla asked.
"Yes.." Claude said, blushing.
Syd was giggling about what Carla and Claude said, they both ignored the fact about what Syd did.
"Syd, stop giggling! They look cute together!" Stripes said.
"Then how did you know about that sooner ago!?" Syd asked.
"I just saw Carla and Claude talking. Alright?" Stripes asked.
"Fine then.." Syd sighed as Claude and Carla went outside and the closed the door.
