"How would you know?" Finn asked in an inquisitive tone, becoming slightly excited - he was going to start messing with Archie and they both knew it. "How do you know that whatever that is-" He pointed upward, "-won't determine our very way of life in the near future? How can you, of all beings on this island, be so sure? If it's on our land, we have something to do with it."
Archie rolled his eyes, which at that point caught site of the lone figure in the sky, now dazed and disoriented. The fight had ended. Whatever they were fighting over was gone - but then Archie noted something else amongst the peaceful, fluffy clouds something that did not fit into the peaceful or fluffy categories. In fact, it was rather unsettling to view. A white, round package was falling at a considerable speed, from a considerable height, toward the two yoshis. Archie flailed his arms wildly with alarm.
"Okay, I take it back! Whatever-it-is is important now - it's gonna kill us if we don't get outta the way!" Archie dived under a bush a few feet from the expected landing point of the strange object. He looked back to Finn, about to motion him to do the same, but saw him darting about with his arms outstretched, preparing to receive the item.
"You moron! What in the Mushroom Kingdom do you think you're doing?" Archie screamed at his foolish friend. "I'm going to catch it!" Finn panted, "It might be important! Why else would they have been fighting so fiercely over it? Come help me out, Arch!"
Archie considered it for a moment, then he agreed that it was the right thing to do. He dashed out and tried to get under the package but this was a difficult judgement to make. The two dashed madly back and forth, concentrating on the unfamiliar prize, trying to avoid staring into the sun at the same time. Amidst the hectic confusion, Finn's face managed to meet with a tree. Seconds later, Archie's face managed to meet with Finn.
"YEOWCH!"
The pair simultaneously yelped out with immense pain, and fell to the ground in a heap. Massaging their sorely misshapen snouts, they groaned softly in a weak attempt to get back up. "Ugh, my head." Finn moaned, once he could finally stand - then he looked over to his friend and helped him to restore his balance, too. Once assured of each other's safety, they hugged one another with relief, the package completely forgotten... until they both heard it land in the bushes with a solid thud and violent crunch of branches. This shocking and discomforting sound, however, had soon been replaced with the ear-splitting wail that soon followed.
The air was filled with an unbearable outburst of painful crying, emitting from the now squirming package. Finn clapped his hands over his throbbing ears, "What is that that THING?" he bellowed, trying to get above the noise. "How would I have any idea?" Archie roared back, his ears also covered, "Just get it to stop!"
Finn bolted over to the bush in which the odd thing lay, and quickly scooped it up into his arms, fumbling it clumsily. Unable to think of anything else to do, he instinctively began to rock himself from foot to foot - this being a nervous habit - and as he did, the crying slowly subsided into an inaudible whimper. Assuming that the odd something had to be alive - and rather unhappy about its current situation - he thought the only thing to do was to remove the wrappings and free the thing.
What was revealed surprised him; some odd, pink creature. It had another white wrapping over part of its body, a large nose, and something red covering its head and face. Finn gently lifted the red thing to see a puzzled, awestruck face to which he returned an equally puzzled and awestruck expression. Though unlike anything he had ever seen, and somewhat unsettling, the thing had a certain charm to it, and Finn couldn't help but smile - it was kinda cute... for a weird alien thing. He looked over his shoulder to find Archie awkwardly staring, waiting for Finn to say something, to explain what the thing was. Reading his clueless expression, Finn hesitantly smiled. "It's uh... I think it s friendly."
