Cake had sniffed out a spot she thought was perfect, so all three of them went to work digging. They dug and dug searching through the sand but didn't find anything. Every hour or so they would take a food break. Cake brought all kinds of fruit like sliced peaches and watermelon along with juice boxes. While Marshall stuck to the cherries, strawberries and tomato juice.
It must have been around break number seven when Fiona sighed.
"What's wrong?" Cake asked.
"I sure hope we find something."
"How about a play a song?" Marshall asked. "Maybe it'll make us feel better."
Fiona sighed again and nodded. Marshall pulled out his axe base, that neither Cake or Fiona noticed before. He gently pulled his fingers over the strings and created a smooth sound. The song began by solely being on the base when Marshall begin harmonizing with the sounds. Fiona leaned up against Cake and they listened for a while. Marshall finally finished and put down his instrument.
Fiona clapped and Cake make a loud 'whooo!' sound. Marshall bowed with mock modesty.
"Okay!" Fiona stood up. "Let's get to work!"
They dug until the sun began to set when all three laid in the sand and stared at the beautiful orange/pink sky.
"Should we call it a night?" Marshall asked.
"What ever Fio wants to do." Cake said.
"We don't have to dig but we should walk around. Remember that girl said 'night's the best time' or something like that?" Fiona said.
"Ok." Marshall said lifting himself up. Cake and Fiona followed. Marshall held out his arms.
"Ladies." He said.
Fiona laughed and linked her arm with him, Cake did the same. The three walked around talking about whatever came to mind. They were pretty far away from the tent when Fiona stopped without warning.
"What's up?" Marshall and Cake asked.
"There's something under me. I think I found it." Fiona kneeled down and put her hands in the sand. She could feel vibrations coming from far beneath the ground. Fiona drew a circle around where the vibrations ended. "We need to dig here!"
All three surrounded the circle and clawed at it with their hands, or, paws. The vibrations slowed as they dug deeper. Fiona felt something with her hand, it was cool and slick. She backed up and looked into the hole. There was in fact a stump down there, and the top was glowing a reflective silver.
Fiona pulled out her hand and saw it was too covered in sliver goo. They dug farther around it, just enough for the three to fit in the hold. Fiona was the first to peer into the mirror-like top.
"No, FREAKIN' way!" Fiona screamed.
