ICE AGE SWITCHEROO ONE-SHOTS
THE CAT'S IN THE CRADLE
LAURENCE BREAKS HIS LEG AFTER FALLING OFF A TREE HE CLIMBS ON AFTER A LITTLE DARE FROM JUNIOR AND STRIPES, SO HE HAS TO STAY IN BED UNDER SNOW BELLE'S CARE.
Story written by me and ninjagogirl luvs iceage21. Enjoy!
It all begins on a sunny day at Switchback Cove, Laurence, Junior, Stripes, Julian and Louis (who is sitting on top of Julian) all walk through the island having a little discussion.
"Okay so here's what I overheard Ethan talking to Gordo about the other," Julian told the others, "Ethan dared Gordo to jump off the waterfall over at Switchback Cove Falls and of course Gordo wasn't gonna back down on a dare, so he did it. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out the way he thought it would."
"How badly was he injured?" Louis asked.
"Well he sprained his trunk, broke his back left leg and gave himself a black eye."
"It's a miracle he survived." Laurence said.
"Hey, Stripes. Remember the time when we were cubs and I dared you to jump off that tall rock?" Junior asked his brother.
"How could I forget?" Stripes asked, "I ended up getting cuts on my paw. Look at it. I still have the scars." He shows his scar on his paw to Junior.
"Stop being such a baby about it."
"You still never apologized for it."
"I'll still never forget the time when we dared Junior to do the Vine Swing over at the Switchback Cove Community Pool." Julian said.
"I remember that," Stripes said, "I kept making chicken noises until he finally gave in."
"I also remember almost killing myself when I did it," Junior said, "There was a huge bruise on my stomach that took almost two weeks to heal up."
"At least you lived in the moment." Julian said.
That's when the young male mammals come across a very big tree. Bigger than any other tree they've ever seen.
"Wow, that's a very tall tree." Julian said in awe at the sight of the tree.
"Yeah, I'll say," Louis said, "I've never ever seen a tree like this before."
Junior whispers something to Stripes, then the two smirk at Laurence.
"Go climb up that tree, Laurence." Junior said.
"What?" Laurence asked.
"Climb up the tree, Laurence," Stripes said, "We dare you."
Laurence starts to hesitate. He is pretty nervous about this, but he didn't want to be called a chicken in front of the others. It would be "scaredy cat" all over again so he accepts the dare.
"Okay, I'm gonna do it." Laurence agreed as he walks up to the tree.
"Whoa, Laurence," Julian said to him, "I don't think you should climb up there. That's not a very good idea."
"I agree, Laurence," said Louis, "You could get seriously hurt."
"Don't worry, guys, I won't get hurt. I'll be fine." Laurence begins to climb the tree. His claws digged down a little bit for the saber but he kept going. The others watch as he continues climbing the giant tree as he grabs onto a tree branch on the right side of the tree. He looks down to the others.
"Hey guys! I did it! I climbed the tree!" He shouted. "It's not so bad up here. I can see the whole view from up here. It's amazing." Then trouble happens as the tree branch starts to crack. Laurence starts to panic. "Uh-oh! The branch is starting to crack! Guys, help me!"
The others watch and worry at the bottom.
"Don't worry, Laurence, I'll catch you!" Julian said as he holds out his trunk and tries to catch Laurence but he slips on some ice.
The branch finally breaks as Laurence falls down screaming in fear. He hits the ground and everyone surrounds him.
"Are you okay?" Louis asked.
"I think so." Laurence said as he tries to get up but cries out in pain when he sees that he's injured his back left leg. "I'm not okay." He lies back down on the ground.
"Oh boy. This is not good," Stripes said, "What have we done?"
Julian places Laurence on his back. "We need to find help, fast." He told the others as they run off to find Snow Belle.
NEXT SCENE
While the guys are heading back to the village to find help, Peaches and Snow Belle are at Snow Belle's place. They were gossiping about things going on in Switchback Cove.
"Did you hear that Katie and Ethan got back together?" Snow Belle asked Peaches.
"You say what now?" The female mammoth asked.
"Katie and Ethan got back together."
"There has to be a mistake here. Katie broke up with Ethan after she found out that Ethan was dating a dozen girls behind her back. She wasn't gonna take a risk and her let Ethan be a cheater like that."
"Well, I heard they were able to settle their differences. They talked about it and decided to give it another chance and start over. I think Ethan's trying to change."
"That guy? Please. There's no changing him."
"Anybody can change. You just have to give them a chance."
"Katie gave Ethan a chance and he blew it. Why is she giving him another chance? I wouldn't give him another chance if he had done that to me. Why shouldn't she?"
"Well some people believe in second chances."
"I wouldn't give someone like Ethan another chance. I'm just glad I'm married to Julian. He's way better than Ethan."
The girls' conversation ended as the guys show up at Laurence and Snow Belle's place. Peaches sees Julian carrying Laurence on his back, who is out cold.
"Laurence? Is he okay?" Peaches asked.
"What happened to Laurence?!" Snow Belle asked as she rushes over to the boys.
"It was our fault!" Junior and Stripes admitted.
"Me and Stripes dared Laurence to climb a tall tree and he ended up falling off and breaking his leg." Junior told his sister.
"Why is he unconscious then?!" Snow Belle asked as rage starts to build up inside her.
"The pain was too hard to take so he passed out." Stripes told her.
Snow Belle growls at her brothers and rushes to them while roaring as she tries to literally maul them. Peaches grabs Snow Belle's tail with her trunk and drags her away from her brothers while she is snarling and roaring at them.
"Calm down, Snow Belle," Peaches told her saber friend, "You need to concentrate on Laurence and make sure he's alright."
Snow Belle takes a deep breath and agrees with the female mammoth. "Okay. I should focus on taking care of Laurence. I'll deal with my brothers later."
So they take Laurence inside and place him to his bed. When he came to a few hours later, he finds himself at home with leaf bandages covering his injured leg. He sees Dr. Sheldon, a tortoise, examining his left leg. He's glad to see that Laurence woke up and decides to give him the news.
"Ah, Laurence," Dr. Sheldon said, "Glad you're awake. Okay, let's go ahead and cut down to the chase. It seems as though you've broken your leg. The good news is it'll heal. The bad news is it'll take six weeks. I'm afraid you'll have to be under bed rest and then you'll be placed under some physical therapy."
Laurence is shaking his head to wake himself up. "What did you say?"
"Let me make it short and sweet," the tortoise doctor said, "You're under bed rest for one week. After one week, you'll be under physical therapy until your leg heals, which will take six weeks. Did you get all that?"
"Yes, but I can't stay in bed. I have a lot of things to do this week. I don't have time to lay around."
"Well, I'm sorry but it's your fault for falling out of a tree. Why did you climb up it in the first place?"
"Those details are anonymous, doctor." Snow Belle said, glaring at her brothers.
"Well, I best be going. I've got other patients to see. I'm a busy tortoise, you know. I'll be back in a couple of days to check up on you. Have a nice day." Then the doctor leaves.
When the doctor leaves, Laurence can't stand the thought of being confined in bed for a week. He sighs, immediately becoming bored out of his mind.
"Don't worry, Laurence, everything will be fine," Snow Belle said, "I'll make sure you have something to entertain you while you're stuck under bed rest."
She brought in the show hole from the living room to their bedroom to keep him occupied, just to make sure he wasn't bored out of his mind.
"Oh honey, I'm so happy you're doing all this just to make me happy," Laurence said, smiling at his wife but his smile fades away, "But I still feel down."
Snow Belle felt bad to see that her husband was unhappy. She glared at her brothers, Julian and Louis.
"Excuse me for just a moment while I go talk to the boys." She told her husband as she left the room. Closing the doors, she slapped her brothers in the faces.
"OW!" Junior shouted, "What was that for?"
"My husband has the case of the blues and you four are to blame." Snow Belle told the boys.
"Why didn't you slap me and Louis?" Julian asked.
"You both have wives. They can handle slapping you two."
"Snow Belle, we're sorry," Stripes said, "It was a stupid dare and we shouldn't have done it."
"You're darn right, you shouldn't have."
"We can make it up to you, though," Junior said, "We'll do anything."
"Anything?" Snow Belle asked.
"Just say the word and we'll do it."
"Okay. Well, I want you two to go and catch some tuna from the stream, hunt a nice, fat juicy gazelle for Laurence and I, gather some fruit and come back here to prepare a feast for me and my husband."
"We can't cake, but we can hunt." Stripes said.
"You said you would do anything."
"That was Junior who promised you that."
"Just go," Snow Belle sighed, "And you are cooking."
Stripes glares at his brother as the two leave. "I can't believe you promised her we would do anything."
"I can't believe you joined in." said Junior.
"Is there something we can do for you too?" Julian asked.
"No, you two need to leave." Snow Belle told them as Julian and Louis left. As they leave, Snow Belle goes back to her's and Laurence's room.
NEXT SCENE
The next day, Diego, Shira, Ricardo and the possum brothers come over to Laurence and Snow Belle's place. They had heard about Laurence's predicament and decided to see how he was doing. When they get there, the adult sabers and possum twins see Junior and Stripes cleaning the living room.
"I'm happy to see you two are helping your sister with the housework while she's busy taking care of Laurence," Shira said, smiling at her sons, "Also, you're grounded for a week for daring Laurence to climb the tree."
The saber brothers groan in frustration.
"This is your fault for the situation we're in!" Stripes told, striking his claw at Junior.
"It's your fault for letting me say the dare!" Junior told his brother, striking his claw back at Stripes.
They start fighting, but Diego comes inside the living room and breaks the two apart.
"What the heck is going on in here?" Diego asked his sons.
"He started it," Stripes said, pointing his claw at Junior, "It was his idea to do the dare."
"You went along with it," Junior said, "Why didn't you try to stop me?"
"It's not my responsibility to get you out of your idiotic situations. If you had a brain, you might be able to think before you act."
"I do have a brain!"
"Then start using it!"
"Enough! Both of you!" Diego shouted, "If you can't get along, go and clean up seperate rooms!"
"That's fine by me!" said Junior.
"I love the seperate arrangement." said Stripes.
The two brothers seperate from each other. Shira and Ricardo walk out of Laurence and Snow Belle's room along with Snow Belle following them.
"All Laurence does is complain," Ricardo said, "Has he been giving you any moment of peace?" He asked his niece.
"He's been a bit complainy about the whole situation, but hopefully it'll pass and Laurence will understand that complaining won't make him better any quicker." Snow Belle said.
"I hope so as well." Shira said as together she along with Diego and Ricardo start to make their way out. Not before finding out that Crash and Eddie were creating some pranks in the bathroom. "Crash, Eddie, remove whatever pranks you've placed inside there."
"Aw, you're no fun." Crash told his sister-in-law while Eddie is blowing a raspberry at her.
The possums do what their told and start heading out.
NEXT SCENE
It marks three days later after the visit. Laurence is tired of having to stay in bed. Snow Belle grows tired of hearing her husband complain.
"Snow Belle, can I get out of bed now?" Laurence asked his wife.
"No." Snow Belle said.
"Come on. I wanna see the outside world again. Do you mind if I could just step outside for a few minutes for some fresh air?"
"The doctor put you under bed rest for a week. That means you can't leave the bed."
"Come on, babe."
"No means no, Laurence. Don't ask me again."
That's how their conversations have been. Nothing but complaining.
Snow Belle needed to head out that morning to go and get some groceries. They were starting to run low on food in the pantry. She goes to her brothers.
"I'm going to the store to pick up a few items. I need you two to watch over Laurence while I'm gone and make sure he doesn't get out of bed for any reason unless he needs to go to the bathroom." She then gives them an angry glare. "If you two let Laurence out of your sight, I'll make sure neither of you two are alive by the time I get back. Got it?"
The two nodded in fright. They were deeply afraid of their sister. Once Snow Belle left, Junior and Stripes were guarding the bedroom door. They kept peeking in every now and then to make sure Laurence hadn't moved a muscle. So far they've only noticed him sleeping. Neither of them have spoken to each other since they had that fight three days ago. Tired of the silence and the fighting, Junior decided to talk to Stripes.
"Hey, bro," Junior said, "I know that we've done some stupid things before in the past, but I will admit that what happened a few days ago was the stupidest thing that ever happened."
"And you knew all along that it shouldn't have happened." Stripes said.
"Yeah, it shouldn't have happened. And I'm the one that makes you join in with me on everything we do. I'm sorry for that. I know you hate it and from now on, I'm not gonna make you do anything you don't wanna do. It's your decision if you wanna join or not. You do that with me all the time. I think I should do that with you."
Stripes smiled. "Thanks. I know you're still gonna do stupid stuff, though. Also, I can't resist not joining in."
"So are we cool now?" Junior asked his brother.
"Yeah, we're cool." Stripes said. He peeks inside the bedroom to check on Laurence. "You don't think he's gonna sneak out, do you?"
"Why would he? There's nowhere for him to escape out at. He'll be fine. Besides, this is the perfect time for us to take a nap. Snow Belle can't tell us what to do."
"You're right. After all, what's the worst that can happen?"
Soon the both of them fall asleep beside both sides of the door. That's their biggest mistake, though. Laurence opened his eyes to check and see that the coast was clear. He took a wooden roller skate and placed it on his injured leg. He got up and after taking one more look around to make sure his brother-in-laws weren't awake, he snuck out by using a secret door next to his side of the bed in the room and started making his way away from the cave.
NEXT SCENE
After Laurence has just escaped from his room, he is happy and relieved to finally be out of bed and to just move around. After walking for a few minutes, he starts running just a little bit. Not as fast as he would normally run, but at a slow pace. Not watching where he was going, he ended up slipping into some mud. It covered his entire face, leaving him blind and causing him to roll down a steep hill. He finally wiped some of the mud off his eyes to see that he was heading towards a cliff. Screaming and having no control to stop, he fell off and landed on a small cliff edge. Not being able to stand up due to his leg, he started screaming for help. Unfortunately, he was too far away for anyone to hear him. He lied there useless until help could arrive.
Meanwhile, Snow Belle has arrived home with some groceries.
"Boys, I'm home." she said as she set the groceries on the dining room table. She walks upstairs to see her brothers napping on the job. She shouts at them, "BOYS, WAKE UP!" Junior and Stripes jumped and were scared to see their sister. Snow Belle gives them a glare. "You two looked pretty comfy. I bet my husband is still inside the room sleeping."
"Of course he is", Stripes said as he nonchalantly opens the door, "Hasn't moved a muscle."
"Yup, he's sleeping like a rock."
Anger was written all over Snow Belle's face, but she remained calm. "Oh, of course he is. Tell me this, though. Did he walk away to go to the bathroom on his own or did you guys help him up and are standing out here to give him some privacy?"
"What are you talking about?", Junior asked, "He's been asleep the whole time.", he looks inside the room and eyes shoot open to see that Laurence wasn't there, "Uh, he's probably in the bathroom."
"No, he's not," Stripes said. He looks inside the room as well and as he sees that Laurence is gone, the color drains from his face, "Well, this looks bad."
"It's okay, you two. Just tell me the truth." Snow Belle said, still remaining calm.
"You're not gonna get mad, are you?" Junior asked.
"I'm not gonna mad," she said.
"Okay, here's the truth", Stripes told, "We accidentally fell asleep on the job and he must've snuck out."
Snow Belle takes a deep breath, still remaining calm. "Uh, huh. Okay, that's all I wanted was the truth. Thank you for telling me. Now…" Her face turns into anger and she slaps both her brothers. "YOU'RE BOTH DEAD!" She slaps them again.
"Okay, we know you're mad." Junior said.
"I'm more than mad, I'm furious!"
"Well, it's not as bad as you think." Stripes said, trying to assure their sister.
"You don't think any of this is bad. You two are the worst brothers I've ever had! You promised me that nothing would happen. I told you to watch my husband and you managed to screw that up too. I know exactly what you both are thinking. 'Oh, why don't we take a nap? After all, nothing will happen. Laurence can't go anywhere. Snow Belle can't tell us what to do.' I thought I could trust you to make sure nothing happened to Laurence, but it seems you both were too stupid to do that."
"What exactly are you doing?" Junior asked, "You're keeping him in bed and not giving him a chance to do anything."
"Because the doctor told him to stay in bed. I'm just helping Laurence follow the doctor's orders."
"No, you're just doing everything you can to make sure Laurence doesn't get the chance to have any time for himself," Stripes said, "You're treating him like a baby and I'm pretty sure he doesn't like it one bit. And neither does he."
"I'm pretty sure he decided to climb the tree so he can prove himself to be something. You never gave him that chance. You're more of a mom to him than you are a wife and you know what his mom is like."
"The problem is not us. It's you. We're not the horrible brothers. We're not horrible at all. It's you who's horrible. No, you're actually terrible. You are a terrible wife and a terrible sister."
Snow Belle's eyes tear up and she starts to cry. "I can't believe you guys. I've done everything I could to be nice to you and love you both and this is the thanks I get. If that's what you both think, then I won't bother you anymore."
"Come on, sis-" Junior said, trying to talk to their sister, but get cut off by her.
"Just go away!" And with that, Snow Belle rushes inside the bedroom crying.
After that argument, Junior and Stripes start to feel bad for hurting their sister's feelings.
"We pretty much screwed up, didn't we?" Junior asked his brother.
"Yeah, but somebody had to tell her," Stripes said, "She normally does take the fun out of everything."
"No, she doesn't. She's only being overprotective because she worries. And she only worries because she loves Laurence."
Stripes finally realizes this, "Okay, we really screwed up."
"We have to make it up to her."
"How? She doesn't wanna talk to us. There's no way she'll let us apologize for what we said."
"I'm not talking about that. What if we make it up to her by going out and finding Laurence?"
"Wouldn't it be better if we just left him alone?"
"Don't worry. I have a plan."
"Is it one of those plans that will fail automatically?"
"No, at least I hope it won't. Stripes, for once in your life, will you just trust me on this?"
Stripes gives it some thought and sighs, "Okay, I'm with you, bro."
"Good. Now let's gather the others."
NEXT SCENE
The saber brothers left to gather Julian, Louis, and Roshan and start their search for Laurence. Junior and Stripes get them all together.
"Okay, you're probably wondering why we're all here," Junior told the others, "Well, I'll tell ya. We're going out to look for Laurence."
"But why?" Louis asked, "Shouldn't he be home?"
"No, that's the problem," Stripes said, "He somehow snuck out while we were taking a nap when we supposed to be watching him."
"And now we must find him," Junior said.
Something came up in Louis' mind after the saber brothers finished explaining what happened. "There is a secret door that's next to Laurence's side of the bed." The molehog told.
"Why was there a door there?" Junior asked the molehog.
"Laurence made it to get inside the house in case he ended up coming home in the middle of the night and didn't want Snow Belle to know where he's been."
Stripes starts to panic. "Oh man. This is bad. This is very, very bad," he said as he continues to ramble on and on, "Laurence could be anywhere. He could be in trouble or worse. He could already be dead."
Roshan knocked the panicking saber in the head with his spear, "Pull yourself together, man."
"Thanks, I needed that."
"We will find Laurence, even if took us decades," Junior said. That was when Junior remembered that he inherited his mother's tracking skills. He started sniffing around until he catches a wiff of Laurence's scent. "Guys, follow me." The five mammals, including Roshan since humans are mammals, followed Junior to where Laurence might be. Once they get to the cliff though, Laurence's scent just stops. They pretty much almost give up hope.
"I don't get it. His scent just stops right here. Where could he have gone at from this point on."
"Well, it's official. We lost him." Stripes said.
"Just because his tracks stop there, doesn't mean we've lost him forever." Roshan said.
"Yes, it does."
"Don't give up hope," Louis said, "He's gotta be around here somewhere."
"Who knows what he's gotten himself into," Julian said, "He's probably lost, hungry, and cold. He can't hunt because he's injured. He doesn't know where he's at. Stripes is right. He's dead."
"And Snow Belle is literally gonna kill us," Stripes said.
"Why, oh why did I make Laurence climb that tree?", Junior asked as he's practically beating himself up over this ordeal, "None of this would be happening if I hadn't of made do something stupid. I'd do anything to make it up to him. Just me. I'm leaving you guys out of it."
Then a voice calls out, "It's not your fault, Junior!"
"Stripes, stop trying to make me feel better."
"That wasn't me," Stripes said.
Junior's eyes widen, "Then who said it?"
A voice calls out, "Look down here!"
They all looked down to see Laurence, who is sitting on a ledge down the cliff, alive and safe. They all shout out, "Laurence!" in relief.
"How did you get down there?" Louis asked.
"After I snuck away from home, I got a little too fast and ended up rolling down a steep hill and falling over the cliff, landing on a ledge. Could you help me out?"
"We could, but we need to figure out how to get you off the ledge." Roshan said as he and the others start brainstorming some ideas.
"I got it!", Julian said, "What if we tie some vines on a flat piece of bark and lift him up?"
"That could work, but there's no room to put it on the ledge," Stripes said, "Plus Laurence would break the bark when he climbed up onto it. Also he has a bad leg."
"Oh, yeah. I didn't think that through."
"Well, let's see," Louis said, coming up with an idea, "We could build a ladder and have him climb up."
"Again, he has a broken leg." Junior said.
"Have you guys thought of anything yet?" Laurence asked, "The ledge is starting to crack. It can't hold my weight any longer."
They looked to see the ledge starting to crack. They had to think fast.
"I have an idea," Roshan said, "Let's just throw a vine rope down there and pull him up."
"You can't pull him up on your own." Junior told.
"Well, help me."
Roshan grabs a vine and slings it to Laurence. "Grab on!", he told him as the others get behind the human and are ready to pull. Laurence grabs the vine just in time. The ledge had broken off. The five mammals pull Laurence up, but they ended up yanking the vine upwards and caused Laurence to slam into the ground. Which was a good thing for the saber because that fixed his broken leg.
As Laurence finds out his leg is not broken anymore, he stands up and starts laughing in joy as he could finally stand up on all fours again. He smiled at the others, but ended up getting slapped in the face by Junior.
"That's for running off!", he said to him.
"Good to see you, too," Laurence said, rubbing his cheek.
"Do you mind warning us next time when you wanna leave?" Stripes asked.
"I'm sorry. I couldn't stand being trapped in bed for twenty-four hours a day. You guys don't know what it's like to be bored all day in bed with literally nothing to do."
"Dude, we've all experienced it," Junior told Laurence, "Stripes and I ended up getting sick with a cold when we were kids and our mom wouldn't even let us go to the bathroom by ourselves."
"I had to stay in bed for a week with a sprained trunk once," Julian said.
"Yeah, I confined myself to bed if I just felt like not getting out of it," Roshan said.
"You're not the only one that's experienced bed rest, Laurence," Louis told him, "All of us had."
"It is still technically our fault that you climbed the tree in the first place," Junior said.
"Sorry about that," Stripes apologized.
"You guys might've dared me to do it, but all I really wanted was to have a little bit of extreme fun," Laurence told them, "I didn't do a lot of things like that growing up. My mom was so overprotective of me. Snow Belle is the same way, but she's a little more lenient about it."
"Speaking of Snow Belle, we should probably get you back to her. Let's go." Junior told as they all go back to Laurence and Snow Belle's cave.
NEXT SCENE
As the five male mammals make it back to Laurence and Snow Belle's place, they see that Snow Belle is in the kitchen cooking, which is what she would normally do when she was upset. When she saw that the guys came back with Laurence, she started squealing and crying tears of joy and shouting "Laurence!" in relief. She rushes to Laurence and hugs him, then slaps him in the face.
"You shouldn't have run off like that when you were injured in one leg! What were you thinking?" Snow Belle asked her husband, "You had me worried sick. I was afraid something terrible had happened to you. You know better than to sneak off like that, especially if you're hurt," she looks down to see that Laurence's leg has healed, "And oh, my gosh you're walking on all fours again. I'm so glad you're okay, but what happened? Why would you disobey me?"
Laurence sighs. He's not going to like what comes out of his mouth. "Snow Belle, I have a reason for doing what I did. You know well enough to see to see that I've never had a father figure in my life. All I've ever wanted was to be like the other guys. Do extreme stuff, have fun, get into trouble sometimes, but my mom was always on my back and I never got to do any of that. I thought you would understand that I just wanted to be like all the guys. I wanna act like a man, but you're kind of acting like my mother. Always on my back about things. Why do you think I climbed that tree? Why do you think I go along with what the other guys do? I'm just trying to act like a man. Whether you like it or not, I'm gonna do it. These guys are practically like my brothers. You're my wife and I want you to understand."
Snow Belle sighs, "If that was how you felt, why didn't you just tell me?"
"I didn't think you'd understand."
"Of course I would've understood. You're my husband. I'll love you no matter what you do," she kisses Laurence on his cheek, "Just promise me you'll be careful from now on."
"I promise."
"You do realize I'm gonna have to punish you, right?"
"Hit me with your best shot."
Snow Belle leaves the room and heads into the bathroom.
"You're literally gonna take the punishment?" Junior asked Laurence.
"Well, there's no point in arguing about it," Laurence said, "I left the cave and disobeyed her. I can handle a little punishment. I am a man, after all. There's no harm in getting a taste of my own medicine."
"How lucky of you to have guessed. That's exactly what you're gonna get," Snow Belle held a bottle out, shaking a liquid component from the inside, "Literally."
Laurence gulped in fear, "Come on, babe. Maybe we could settle this dispute without medicine?"
"You said you wanted to be a man. Now be a man and take your medicine."
Having no choice, Laurence took the medicine. A moment later, he ran outside and started puking it out. The guys started laughing.
"You guys won't be laughing for long." Snow Belle smirked at them and shoved a spoonful of medicine in their mouths. They all did the same thing Laurence did and threw it up. Snow Belle snickered, saying this to herself: "A man's not a man until he can handle anything." She laughed and went back to cooking. Thus ends the story.
