Third Grade Buddies – Chapter 6

~~~~~~~~~~ Chibi Hetalian Adventures ~~~~~~~~~~

Francis quickly dived for the other boys legs, grabbing ahold of one before he was completely sucked in. He quickly hauls his friend up. "Careful! Geeze Tonio, seriously. Remember that sign from earlier, if this is the same river its dangerous." Ludwig, the slowest of the three, finally came from behind the bushes and ran towards them. "I -it was so cold!" Antonio said, shivering and curling up into a ball on the grass. "Well, don't go near the waters edge next time." Gilbert said rolling his eyes. But even after just giving the word of caution, Ludwig made his way to them and was practically by the water.

"What happened?" he asked. Just then Feli from across the river cried out to them. "H -help! Doitsu!"

"Ah! W -we'll be there!" Ludwig yells back, turning towards them. "Hey! I just said to get away from there!" Gilbert shouts. And right at that moment, the ground began to crumble, bringing Ludwig down with it. "Doitsu!" Feli cried across the river. "St -stay back Feli! It's too dangerous!" Lovino cries, who was pretty much in shock until then. Gilbert quickly rushes to grab his younger brother, both of them now in the water and Gilbird flying over to Francis' head. Unfortunetly, before Gilbert could grab the side of the cliff like edge he jumped off of, he gets dragged further into the water.

Antonio quickly recovers, heading back into the water, this time with more caution, one hand holding onto Francis who's bent over the river's edge. Ludwig, completely submerged, panics, losing his breath. Gilbert on the other hand kept was able to keep his face above the surface, and tried take his younger sibling and lift him up above with him. "Brother Gil! Tonio! Doitsu!" Feli cries out, tears streaming out of his eyes. "Antonio! Potato bastard! Gi- gi-" Lovino shouts as well, while trying to hold his brother back.

Antonio, thinking quickly submerges under water, and helps Gilbert lift his brother back up. The both of them sucessfully bring him above the surface. From there he crawls over the two and back onto land. "Come on!" Antonio shouts breathing heavily. Gurgling, Gilbert, does his best to use his friends assistence to get back onto land as well. Lastly Francis pulls Antonio back up.

Everyone breathing heavily, including Francis, lay/sit on the ground. Francis, sincerly worried for everyone, takes charge. He begins by shouting across the river and at the two italians. "Hey! We're ok! Everything fine, we'll come get you in a minute!" Gilbert, throws off his soaked jacket and shirt, it flying into Francis' face. Gilbird dodges any water from tha attack by flying up and landing ontop of some wood pile.

"And how are we supposed to do that, I don't have enough awesome-ness to save them! You hafta let me recharge once in a while. I just used it all to save our butts!" Gilbert said, pointing at a bridge that used to exsist with Francis' cell phone (no one noticed it until then but it broken anyways). Antonio, looking where Gilbrid landed, got an idea. "No but your bird has enough to give me some hope!" He exclaims, sneezing. Francis watched his soaked to the bone friend pick up several peices of wood, most of them long and flat. He quickly catches on.

"Oh! That might work!" Francis rushes over to the wet Gilbert, who was actually trying to help his brother -warm up. "Gilly! You're rope! You still have it right?"

"Ja... I do... ? Waaait." Gilbert answers, looking at the over excited brunette pile nice long pieces of wood by the old bridge, its middle blown out but the rest still intact."Ah! No! Pleeeeease not my awesome rope! I just got it today!" Gilbert exclaims, Ludwig sneezes. "Come one, its just for saftey percautions, you can have it back when were done." Francis pleaded, trying to use his charm. Ludwig pulled on his older brother pants, and looked at him desperately. "Fine..." he gave in, "But just for the record this makes me super awesome."

"Oui, the most awesomemest." Francis agrees. While Gilbert and Antonio, work on the bridge, by making something close to a raft and shoving it onto the broken bridge, both ends resting on each side, Francis instructs the italians what to do and what they're doing. He also helps undress Ludwig, and gave him his jacket to keep warm. Embarrassed by wearing something so large, and swearing he heard Feli's giggle, Ludwig blushes brightly. Luckily no one could really see him, since the only light there was Lovi's flash light and Francis' cell phone which was being aimed at the bridge.

After tying the peices of wood together, Francis tests out the improvised bridge, which turns out to only be solid if the brunette and albino hold down the edges. When it appears to be safe he invites Ludwig over. The two quickly go to the frightened waiting brothers. Instantly Feli runs up to the surprised but relieved Ludwig. "Veee! I was so scared!" Feli exclaims staring at his friend with his usual spaced out look. Lovi on the other hand, didn't really run up to his savior.

"Come on Lovi..." Francis encourages feeling a bit akward with Lovinos evil stares. "LOVI! POR FAVOUR! Just take his hand!" Antonio says struggling with the thing they've built. The currents were getting higher and were about to sweep their raft bridge away. Gilbert also struggled with keeping it there. "Hurry up short-stufffs! Tonio can't hold this any longer!" Feli and Ludwig quickly crossed the bridge, hand in hand, and ran over to a spot near the bushes and not close to the water. Lovi hesitently took the blondes hand and they also run across the make shift bridge.

Just as they step off, Antonio and Gilbert release the raft like thing, thier strength drained and hands full of splinters. All the wood is thrown around by the river. "My rope!" Gilbert shouts sadly. "It's ok Gilly. Super awesome heros have to give some things up every now and then." Francis comfort, Antonio laughs. He's quickly tackled by Lovino. "Ack! Lovi!" He says, pushing the little kid back, "You'll get wet too!"

"I don't care! Bastard! Don't every do that again!" He shouted still being held back. "Isn't that something we should say?" Francis' counters. Lovi just pouted, Antonio drying his face so he could at least press his face against the younger boys'. Lovino blushes wildly. "So waaarm~" Antonio jokes, but in reality he was freezing. In fact everyone was freezing.

Now that the excitement was over, they need to get out of the forest, find a way to get into contact with adults and get the soaking ones into some place warm. "But we still don't have signal..." Ludwig sneezes, Feli giggling at him. Gilbert looks at the phone again. "Wait! Yes we do! Awesome!"

"What!" Francis yells snatching the phone out of his hands. The GPS starts working again. Everyone overjoyed began to squeal with excitment. Francis calls 911, tells the police everything thats happened, and they all make their way back to the observatory. As they finally got there, pushing themselves from out of the bushes, a blinding lights shines in their faces. The sleeping Feli on Ludwigs back woke up. "Mère! Père!" Francis calls out, running to his parents. Feli hops off Ludwigs back as he and Lovi notice their parents waiting for them as well, they're quickly embraced by them. "GILBERT! LUDWIG!" a fimiliar scolding voice called. "ACK!" Gilbert paniced, "Mutter! Ludwig did it!" He exclaims, his younger brother looking at him skeptically."You guys are all wet!" She states in a harsh tone. But she was obviously relived. "So is Tonio!" They argued, Tonio already with his mom and brother, getting scolded for missing their appointment that night.

Everyone was finally safe again, with their families, receiving special attention from the police and ambulence people. Lovi and Feli, also, still had their presents. And even though they we're in trouble they all got hot chocolate and were able to ride in the police cars. Plus everyone was dried up! -kind of. Ludwig fell asleep leaning on Feliciano who was doing the same to him. Feli was holding Lovi's hand who was dozing off clinging on to Antonio, who was asleep leaning against Gilbert who was snoring away on Francis who had also fallen alseep. The whole day didn't go exactly as they all thought it would, but it was definitely a great time. A day to remember, and one to talk about as they resumed their normal lives and went back to school.

They all rode home, rocked by those small bumps in the rode with the comfort of feeling secure and safe with their friends. The red sirens flashed and the night sky was no longer dark as they made it back to town, the fimiliar stars lighting up the sky.

Lol lame cliff hanger, Antonio falls in, but nothing really happens, and then just when you think its all alright, Ludwig has to fall in! Now there some real trouble. When I was typing that part up I thought, "Come on! Rly!" lol and I'm the one who made the story. Also I really feel like no one cares for Francis in this story for some reason. I think the reason why, is becuase I subconcously disaprove of him... especailly after certain things... Anyways! Hmmm I think my ending came out weird, or short, I dont know, but I know somehting isnt right -I probably planned to do soemthing but I forgot it which is why I feel funny. Anyways, the end, thanks so much for reading. I hope its what you hoped for? Sorry if its a terrible disapointment. There not even a real plot... cA but... plz review ouo THANK YOU
