"I have good news for you, pets! Today, we're going to the park!" announced Blythe after she entered the day camp. All the pets jumped with joy from hearing this news.
"Um… Do we really need to go there?" asked Sunil, "it's damp and cold outside."
"Come on, Sunil. Don't be such a bore! It'll be fun!" optimized Pepper as she was delighted with Blythe's offer. It seems that everyone but Sunil had the idea to taste.
The pets squealed when they were finally taken out for a walk, and as Sunil said: it was damp and slightly dirty outside. After all, it did rain last night. But did that stop the pets?
"So, here we are," announced the girl, releasing the leashes of these adorable beasts to freedom.
They all fled and did their business. Minka jumped in the trees, like all ordinary monkeys. Sunil stayed on the bench and talked with Blythe; he finds it calmer. Vinnie threw the Frisbee at Zoe. It's a favorite activity for dogs! Zoe even threw the Frisbee back at Vinnie, and he attempted to catch it with his tongue, but he needed up flying away with the Frisbee! Russell was reading his book under a tree, and Pepper was sharing her fresh batch of jokes to Penny Ling. After a while, the panda had an idea.
"Hey, let's all play hide and seek," suggested Penny Ling. Everybody liked the idea and supported. Penny Ling offered to be the seeker, so everybody else would be the hiders.
"Just don't run away," Blythe warned them, "Russell, watch out for them."
"You can count on me, Blythe."
"Count already!" Pepper sure was impatient to start the game.
"Okay! One… Two…"
Everyone ran away in different directions. Minka climbed a tree, and was followed by Vinnie. Pepper hid the trash can.
"Ha! They'll look for me the longest," Zoe said as she grinned to herself. The dog had found herself a great place: a van with vases near the entrance. She flew there quickly, wanting to try a new place as soon as possible.
"Where is she going?" Russell asked himself as he spotted Zoe going towards the van in the distance. He had a bad feeling about this and then rolled to Zoe. She climbed into one of the vases, leaving Russell no choice but to go after her in the vase.
"Why are you hiding in here?!" he began scolding at Zoe while being in the same place she was.
"What are you doing here?! This is my place to hide!" She said.
"Blythe said not to go far! What if this van goes?!"
"Oh, come on. It's not going to–" Before she could finish speaking, the van doors closed and the sound of the engine was heard. This was bad!
"Too late! Come on!" yelled Russell at the top of his lungs.
Together, they got out of the vase and tried to open the door.
"Ugh! It's useless…" Zoe said in defeat after a while.
"Hm! Why did you get in the van?!"
"You're blaming me now?!"
"Well, I have no one else to blame!"
"Hmm!" The Cavalier Kind Charles Spaniel – Zoe's breed – turned away from the hedgehog. She was offended, but not at the fact that she was shouted at; she still felt guilty, although she didn't want to admit it before her "fellow traveler".
Russell, in the meantime, was looking for a way to get out of here. Suddenly, he noticed a hook at the top of the door that would open the door.
"Zoe, help me get that hook over there."
"Oh! Fantastic idea!"
She rolled a couple of pots and vases to help the two pets climb on them. There were almost there, but thanks to the amount of noise they were making with the pottery, the drivers in the van acknowledged the noise and stopped the van.
"Oh dear," commented Russell.
Two people opened the back doors of the van and saw these uninvited pets, so they took them out and tossed the two to the sidelines.
"Unworthy pests! Why don't you just die already?!" commented one of the people.
"Let's just leave them here to rot," suggested the other.
"Yeah."
The two drivers closed the van doors and entered the van, driving along the road and leaving the pets behind.
Well, it appears Russell and Zoe are left on the sidelines now. All around them was just a clean field and the only road – an endless, empty road.
"Where are we?"
"I have no idea… But it seems now we have such a long way back now…"
