"Eddie! Sid's coming! Hide!" Crash, the other half of the twin possums, called over to his brother. They hid behind a bush as said sloth walked by them. Sid looked around the cave, covered in berry juice. The two possums quietly stepped back and out of the cave, running into a field of grass.
"Do you think he saw us?" Eddie questioned his brother.
"No, I don't even know why he's mad."
"I know, it's just boysenberries. It's poison or anything!" The twins started laughing until they heard a rustle in the tree behind them.
A familiar saber stalked a nearby goat amongst the tall grass in the field. He was about to attack when another saber ran into him, and what was supposed to be his lunch ran off.
"Oh! Sorry! Sorry! It's my fault, I'm such a klutz!" The other saber, a female, started apologizing. "It's no wonder Shannon abandoned me! I'm clumsy, a-and I-I'm no good at rights and lefts!" She said, pointing left and right respectively.
"Wait, what?" Diego asked the female in front of him. He took note of her amber-colored eyes and light blond fur.
"Wha-? Oh, I'm sorry I didn't see you there! I-I'm Lucy. It's short for Lucille, but I don't like Lucille, so everyone calls my Lucy. Except Shannon, she calls me Luna." A big grin planted on her face.
"I'm...Diego." He spoke awkwardly.
"Diego huh? Nice to meet you! I'm sorry but I really have to go, I lost my sister and she's not big or intimidating and stuff. For all I know, she could be someone's appetizer right now!"
"Uh...You need help?"
"Yeah, sure! All the help I can get!" It wasn't long before she ran off and Diego followed.
"Crash, did'ya hear that?"
"Uh-huh." He gulped as they tiptoed towards the tree. Eddie took a small stone nearby and threw it into the leaves.
"Ow!" They heard a yell and a thump, thump, thump, until a figure fell, her tail hanging on a branch. "What was that for?"
Both brothers' jaws fell at the sight of a female possum. She had emerald green eyes and apricot and chestnut brown stripes. "What're you lookin' at?"
The two shook their heads and walked towards the female, Crash's arm outstretched. "Hi, name's Crash."
"Eddie." Said possum, arm outstretched.
"Shannon." She said, landing on the ground, shaking both their hands.
"So, uh," Crash started. "What're you doing out here?"
"Me? Oh, I was looking for my sister. Crazy chick ran off when a herd of Rhinos stormed in." She explained, climbing back up the tree with the twins following. "Maybe you've seen her!"
"Well, that depends. What does she look like?" Eddie asked.
"Well, she's a lot bigger than me. Amber eyes. Light blond fur. Most probably screaming." She continued as she dropped down the tree and scurried around the grass with the boys right on her tail.
AN: Had no idea this was finished until now. I just wasted two months...
