Chapter III. A White Weasel

Ellie turned around to see who had said that. Seeing no one, she again attempts to go in the cave.

"Ummm… I'm sorry, but, did you hear me at all?"

Ellie again turned around but again sees no one. It was getting late and she had to hurry. Who knows what might be happening to her.

"Ummm... Up here, miss."

Ellie looks up at a tree to see a white weasel hanging from a branch with his tail. As he tries to get up on his feet, the branch suddenly breaks and he falls down.

"Ow!" he shouts in pain "That hurt!"

"Uhhh… Are... you okay…?" Ellie asked somewhat sympathetically.

"Oh, uh… yeah, yeah." he says while brushing of the dirt from his fur. "I'll- *sigh* I'll be fine."

"Okay, so uh… I'm gonna go now." Ellie says turning around to again try to go into the cave.

"W-wait, Wait!" the white weasel cries while running to catch up with her.

"What?" Ellie now asks irritated. "Make it quick"

"Don't go in there. It's gonna be dangerous."

"I don't care. My daughter could be in there."

"And how sure are you she is in there."

"Yeah, well how do you know it's dangerous in there?"

"Didn't you hear the dinosaur? Isn't that an obvious sign of danger already? the weasel said somewhat cockily but was only trying to persuade her not to go in.

"Whatever." Ellie walked onwards ignoring the weasel. But the weasel ran and went in front of her checking the ground.

"Well, there are tiny mammoth prints and some other foot prints leading inside, so yes, your daughter is probably in there."

"Okay, I appreciate the help, but I'll be going now."

The white weasel just sighed knowing how far a mother would go for her child. So instead of trying to stop her, he tries to do something else.

"Can I come with you then?" the weasel asked her.

"Why would you come with me?" Ellie asked him.

"Well, I can't just leave you alone, and there really isn't anything to do here now that that wall is there." The weasel said. "Can I, please?"

Ellie just sighed, hoping for fewer distractions. "Alright, you can come. Just don't slow me down okay."

The weasel had already climbed on her before she stopped speaking. "Yes, Ma'am!" he said and laid down on her. "May I ask your name?"

"Ellie. The name's Ellie."

"Nice to meet you Ellie! The name's Barret! It's spelled B-A-double R–E- T!"

"Yeah, nice to meet you too" she said unenthusiastically to the weird eccentric weasel named Barret whom she just met.

"So, who're the people your daughter came in with?"

"*sigh* Sid, a sloth. And Crash and Eddie, they're my brothers.

"Hmmm... funny, I thought I only saw one track of mammoth footprints, which by the way, were small."

"Long story" Ellie says, finally calming down a bit with him but is still agitated by the fact that she entrusted her brothers with her daughter, even more with a sloth.


The stegosaurus was roaring and tried to attack Peaches and the gang. They were running away while screaming out at the top of their lungs.

"Why was it attacking us?" Sid screamed while running away. The dinosaur was chasing them, biting when he gets close enough and the gang trying to avoid each attack.

"I don't know! It's probably angry 'cause we entered its territory!" Crash shouted.

"Less talking, more sprinting!" shouted Eddie. "Aaaaahhh!"

The gang continued to run. And after a while, the dinosaur stopped chasing and they were finally able to rest. Although tired, Peaches was still enthusiastic about everything.

"Wow! I just saw a real live dinosaur in front of me!" Peaches exclaimed

"Boy, I wish Ihad your optimism…" Sid said while breathing hardly

"Well." Crash said. "It looks like we won't be able to go back home that way anymore.

"Unless of course" Eddie suggested "We find Buck!"

"Buck?" Peaches asked.

"Yeah princess! He could help us get home! He did after all did it before, right Sid?" said Eddie

"Uhhhh… yeah." Sid said trying not to remember the big mess-up he made.

"Wow…" Peaches stands amazed. "I'm going to see a whole lot of dinosaurs, and then see the legendary Buck in the stories my dad told me!"

"Okay!" said Crash standing up. "Let's go start finding him then!"

"But where will we start?" asked Eddie. "We don't even know where he lives!"

"I guess. But its better we first find him before Rudy finds us."

"Rudy?" Peaches shivered, remembering the stories his dad told him before bed. "As in, big *gulp* dinosaur Rudy"

"The one and only!" said Crash in a somewhat happy-go-lucky way.

"So right now, the best plan is to go find Buck!" said Sid.

"Alright then! Let's go!" said Crash and Eddie in unison with a brave front, although they both know that the other person was just as scared as he was.

And so, the gang set off to search for Buck… wherever he may be.

Buck really wasn't that far. He was walking along with that proud stride of his. But there was a problem. Buck was walking towards the cave, but the gang was walking away.

This… was a problem.


Diego woke up with Manny and 'Ryan' still asleep. For some sort of reason, he couldn't get some sleep. So instead, he went up the hill they were planning to go up to. This way, they could get back much faster.

Diego was climbing up the steep hill full of jagged rocks. It was a problem for him to climb it up, let alone how for a woolly mammoth. The moon rose high shining his way for him. He thought about what he had said to Sid and the twins before. What did happen to them, to his mother, to his sister? He never asked this himself before.

After a long time of climbing, he reached the top of the hill and took a few deep breaths. It resembled more like a mountain than a hill after climbing it. When he looked out to the horizon, he saw a devastating sight that would probably delay the trip even more.


"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwnnn"

After a short walk from their run just a while ago, everyone was drowsy. Peaches was getting sleepy. She had eye bags and her eyes were wet with tears from over yawning. Even the twins were getting tired. And if they were getting tired, so would Sid. ESPECIALLY Sid

"Hey, *yawn* guys." Sid said sleepily. Sid was trying to keep his eyes open, desperately trying to stay awake.

"*Yawn*, yeah? What is it Sid?" asked Eddie sheepishly. He was walking around slowly with each step.

"I think we have to make camp for tonight" he replied pointing at the dark ceiling of Dinoland. You couldn't really see the sky from down there.

"But, *yawn*, we're not tired *yawn* yet." said Crash. "Buck, *yawn* never got tired before." Also walking around snail-paced.

"*yaaaawn* Yeah, night time is *yawn* possum time..." said Eddie.

Knowing the guys wouldn't admit it, Sid thought of another way to get them some rest. "Ummm, guys. I think Peaches needs some sleep"

The boys looked at each other and decided that they should probably get some rest. Peaches did looked like she was already sleep walking. While the twins were summoning their strength to gather twigs from they're sleepy bodies, Peaches went to sleep ahead of them, and Sid looked for sparking stones to use.

After a while, they finally made a nice comfy fire they all cuddled about near it. And not long after, they had all soon fell in deep slumber.


"Boy." Barret grunted "This sure is one heck of a cave."

They have been walking in the cave for a long time as well. Though it was in the middle of the night, Ellie didn't really feel sleepy. She was too worried about Peaches, and the guys, to get some rest.

"Yeah." Ellie replied and they soon came across the same fork Peaches and the others have. Unfortunately for them, they have no idea about the wind. "So, uh, which way to go?"

"To be honest, I have no idea." he tried looking at the ground at which way to go, but even if there were glowing mushrooms around, it was really hard to see.

"Well, let's try going to the left." she then decides

"Okay, I'll be going where you're going, 'cause I don't really know where to go."

"Hmmm…" Ellie mumbled

Buck was walking along the jungle, invigorated as usual without a strain of sleepiness. He passed along tons of plants and sleeping dinosaurs. He looked around in marvel of the world around him. Though he had been there for a long time, he was still amazed at everything. He was the same weasel the day the guys met him. He was fearless, strong, agile, nimble, and most of all, insane.

Buck still had 'Rudy's tooth' knife, which as always, was a useful tool going about in a world filled entirely with danger and adventure. He also had this whip coiled around his body. He found it useful as well, as he used it to swing around from tree to tree in the jungle.

From the way it looked, Buck seemed to OWN Dinoland.

"Okay, so both of these are dead ends." said Barret pointing at the left and right exits. "I can't believe we actually went through these two till the end"

"Well, we have no idea where they went. So that leaves the middle one, right?"

"Yup! Pretty much." Barret climbed up on Ellie. "So, uh, MARCH!" said Barret commandingly.

Ellie was getting irritated at Barret and his cockiness, although he looks like an all around nice guy. "Yeah" she replied really showing that she's annoyed at him.

After walking for a while, they finally saw the light to the exit. "There it is!" Barret exclaimed.

"Hmmm. We've been going down for a while now, hmmm... I wonder…"

And to her expectations, they had now entered Dinoland, at night.

"Wow." said Barret, clearly amazed. "This place looks so… awesome! An entire world that's right below our feet!"

"Yeah, well, wait till you see the dinosaurs-" Ellie stopped when she heard a 'grrrr' sound behind her.

"Uhhh… *gulp*" Barret turns around. "Like the one behind us?" he said

Ellie turned around as well and flinched backwards. The stegosaurus was looking at them angrily. Ellie was walking backwards slowly while Barret was thinking of what to do in this situation. He couldn't, of course, run off ahead of her. She came with her to make sure she wasn't alone.

They were all ready to run like hell, when they heard an auspicious voice from afar.

"Oi! Over here you walnut-brained ugly!" throwing stones at the dinosaur.

It was Buck. He provoked the dinosaur towards him. It charged towards him, but Buck evaded by jumping over it. The cave shook hard, and Buck kept on provoking the dinosaur and it kept charging at him and continuously missed and hit the cave walls. Ellie and Barret were only standing there in the sidelines, watching him.

"Is that the best ya' got? My grandma could tackle better than that!" The dinosaur gave on final charge, a fast and strong one. But even if it was running towards Buck as fast as it could, Buck simply stepped to the right in the last second and evaded cave, however, finally couldn't take it, and it caved in. Ellie could not believe her eyes.

Crash: Quick, let skedaddle while he's distracted…

Eddie: Right

Xion the Author: I can hear you…

Crash & Eddie: *gasp*

Xion the Author: Words written has no definite volume. It can be as loud or soft as it can be unless the author depicts the people are having a simple conversation with normal voices or are shouting and whispering to each other.

Crash & Eddie: … ?

Xion the Author: Enough of me babble. Who has brown fur on his nose bridge… hmm... aha! So you are Crash!

Crash: W-what are you gonna do to me?

Xion the Author: Nothing really, I'm just writing this to amuse the readers with comedy a bit, and also to inform them how to differentiate Crash and Eddie. Check who has brown fur along his nose bridge is Crash and who has white is Eddie.

Crash: Oh… *phew*

Eddie: Man... and I thought he was gonna eat you!

Xion the Author: I love animals, so of course no animal violence (from me that is) and I have to admit... this chapter is FULL of DIALOGUES. It really isn't shorter than most of the stories, it's just a lot of words written in long paragraphs. Thanks for reading! Comment as you please!

Barret: Ha! I ate your knight!

Ryan: Good. Now I can eat your queen.

Barret: Gack!

Xion the Author: My two OC are playing chess here. The score is… well… 6 – 1. 6 for Ryan, and 1 for Barret.

Ryan: I only lost once 'cause I lowered my guard.

Barret: Just admit it! You're not that good at chess!

Ryan: I looked away for a second and my two rooks were missing. And then you just ate my king suddenly and declared you won.

Barret: . . . . . . . .

Xion the Author: That's just sad, dude. Stay tuned for who'll win this chess match! BWAHAHAHAHAHA CLIFF HANGING!
