Humphrey swam and started to catch up with Joey. Just where is he going?
Humphrey saw him poke his head out of the water for air. Humphrey did the same. But Joey noticed this.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" He exclaimed as he floated there.
"Trying to stop you!" Humphrey replied.
"Not a chance!" Joey dove back into the briny deep and Humphrey followed. He noticed Joey was going pretty far and they weren't even near the beach.
He then jumped in surprise as something touched his tail. He poked his head out of the water for air and saw something go with him. It was Aaron!
"Aaron?! What are you doing here?!"
"Coming to help my best friend!" He said with a smile as he splashed a little water in Humphrey face. Humphrey spat some water out.
"Stop that!" Humphrey dunked his head in the water and couldn't find Joey. He resurfaced.
"You made me lose him!"
"I'm sorry. Don't get testy. And speaking of testis, yours are pretty…"
"Shut up! I know what the water does to my lower parts. But it's not me, its shrinkage!" He yelled.
"That's all good, but do you feel something like a current pulling you?" Aaron asked. Humphrey noticed. They were being pulled by a current.
But it quickly turned into a whirlpool which sucked the two into.
Back at the beach, the wolves were making great progress gathering wood for the raft.
"Okay, listen everyone!" Kate bellowed as they looked at her. "Now, we have wood. What we need are bushes and leaves for the sail. Now I have my wood here, I need some of your bushes to get started."
The wolves around giggled. Kate looked at them in anger.
"What are you giggling at? I need bushes for my wood. I think my wood is hard enough for any bush." Everyone burst out laughing, even Hutch and Karen.
"Stop it!" They group went silent for a second. "Okay, where was I? Oh, yes! Erecting my wood…"
Everyone bellowed again in laughter. Kate quickly whispered to Hutch who was laughing with the group.
"Why are they laughing?" She asked.
"Think about… what you said… about erecting wood…" He said between laughs. Kate thought for a moment. She gasped and blushed. Now she was embarrassed.
"Hutch, take over…" She said as she tucked her tail between her legs.
"Alight! Listen everyone." The group stopped. "I'm here to take over. Let's just put stuff together until it looks like a small ship."
The group then agreed and got started. Hutch then leaned over to hutch.
"Thanks for saving my tail." She said.
"No problem. You had lots of wood in your hands." He laughed. Kate punched him in the arm.
"Ha, ha! Very funny." Kate said sarcastically.
"Alright, let's get started."
The two then got ready. Let's just hope Humphrey and Aaron get there in time.
