Skye was still a little bit in shock when she looked down 5 minutes later and noticed Jeffrey still tightly gripping her hand. She thought about what this felt like. Jane was always talking about
"Skyyyyyeee! Jefffffreeeeyyyyy!" Batty ran around the corner, tears running down her cheeks, with Ben close on her heels. Skye quickly unclenched her hand from Jeffrey's and started rubbing it on her jeans. She didn't realize her hands could even get that sweaty. "Skye I dropped Funty in the creek!" Batty said tearfully, nearly full out bawling.
"Good grief!" Skye sighed. She wasn't quite sure how this was all going to work out, but at this rate she'd have to cope with her own mixed up feelings, as well as Batty's. "Okay Batty, where did you drop it?" Batty sniffed before speaking.
"Over there Skye, but please get Funty quickly, I don't want him to be too scared!" Batty pointed towards the left, and spoke quickly in one breath. Even little Ben looked worried; he did NOT want his best friend and big sister to be upset. "Please Skye!" Batty repeated.
"Alright, alright. Let's go see if we can find him." Skye sighed; glad at least for a distraction. She wasn't quite sure still how to deal with the terribly distraught 5 year old beside her. "Jeffrey?" Skye motioned towards Batty and looked at him hopefully. "Help?" He jumped in immediately.
"Okay Battikins! Can we follow you to Funty? Here, take my hand." He grinned. "Let's make this a game! Funty is the buried treasure, and we are pirates that are looking for this box of gold and jewels. If we find this then we will have enough money to buy ice cream for us, AND carrots for the horses that you love to visit so much. Let's go!" Batty slowly began to smile, as Skye admired how Jeffrey had been so calm under pressure, so good with the younger ones, thought up how to occupy them, and a good way to find Funty, and just had been so collected...Skye shook her head. Now she was getting distracted. There was an elephant to find.
