Chapter 16:

Fire Starter

Fuzzy, Leo and Spazz trudged through the blizzard and the blizzard was blowing hard and cold. The baby was freezing cold. " Guys, we gotta get the baby out of the wind!" shouted Fuzzy, The Three Toys trudged to a small cave. " How much further, Leo?" asked Fuzzy to Leo, Leo looked ahead and calculated how far it was going to take. " Three miles," replied Leo, Fuzzy groaned and said " Boy, I'm beat from all this snow. We'll have to get there in the morning,".

Then the two heard scratching and turned around. Spazz was scratching something on the rock wall. " Spazz, what are you doing?" asked Leo, " I'm putting a monkey on the map," said Spazz as he stood back and admired his creation, Leo looked at the drawing with a funny look. The drawing was a crude depiction of Spazz. " Hey, Spazz. Why don't you make it realistic and draw him lying down?" snorted Fuzzy, " And make him rounder," suggested Leo, Fuzzy took the piece of ice from Spazz's hand and drew a round belly on Spazz's picture.

"Perfect," chuckled Leo, "Hah! Hah! Hah! I forgot how to laugh," laughed Spazz sarcastically, then he rudely took the ice from Fuzzy and scratched out his drawing. Suddenly, sparks came from the ice and landed on a pair of twigs. A small fire started burning. Fuzzy and Leo looked at Spazz with surprised looks. " I'm a genius!" shouted Spazz as he kissed the chalk.

Pretty soon, a fire was burning and the group was enjoying themselves. Spazz was dancing around the fire. " From now on, you two will have to refer to me as Spazz: Lord Of The Flames!" said Spazz as he struck a pose, " Hey, Lord Of The Flames! Your tail's on fire," said Fuzzy to Spazz, Spazz looked at his tail and a look of horror crossed his face. " AAAAAAHHHH!" shouted Spazz as he runs around trying to put out the fire. Leo grabbed him by the tail and pulled him into the snow beside him, putting out the fire.

" Ooh, thank you! From now on I'm gonna call you, Leo…," said Spazz, " Lord Of Touch Me and You're Dead!" said Leo, Spazz yelped in fear. " I'm just kidding you, little knucklehead," said Leo as he puts Spazz in a headlock and gives him a noogie, " Hey, lovebirds," said Fuzzy, Leo stopped giving Spazz a noogie and looked. " Look at this," said Fuzzy as he, Spazz, and Leo watched something extraordinary. The baby was walking on his own without any support from Fuzzy. " I don't believe it," said Spazz as looked over at Leo, Leo looked at the baby with a somewhat amused face and looked at Fuzzy. Fuzzy looked back at him also with an amused face.

The Three Toys looked as the baby walked towards Spazz. Spazz got up and tries to direct the baby to come to him. " Come here little biped. Come here, you little cute guy. Come to Uncle Spazz," said Spazz, the baby however turned around. " No. no. This way," said Spazz, the baby was starting to walk towards Leo. " No, go to Uncle Spazz," said Leo trying to make the baby go to Spazz, but the baby continues walking towards him. " Go to Uncle Spazz," said Leo a little louder, Leo was about to get up and move away but the kid fell on his foreleg and held onto it. " Uh, ok," said Leo, then he lightly pushed the kid away from him and said " Good job. Uh keep practicing,".

" Would you look at that? Our little guy's growing up," said Spazz, the baby then fell backward and yawned. " Alright come on, sleep time little one," said Fuzzy picking up the baby and sat him down in his hands, Spazz sat down beside Leo and they watched Fuzzy lying down with the baby. " Look at Fuzzy being a good father. You know Leo, I feel really bad for Fuzzy losing his parents," said Spazz to Leo, " Yeah, but Fuzzy...has us," said Leo, " I agree. Well, good night Leo," said Spazz as he lays down and turned over, Leo was about to go to sleep as well but he looked ahead at Lion Peak thinking if he should help his new friends or stick with Kazar. Leo could have gone a while but he decided to go to sleep.

While The Three Toys and the baby were asleep, appearing from behind a rock, Bullseye looks around making sure the coast was clear, and heads to the fire. Bullseye then pulls out a twig with a block of ice that has his lucky horseshoe in it and hangs it over the fire. The heat of the fire melts most of the ice off of Bullseyes horseshoe. But just when Bullseye was about to grab it, the horseshoe broke into pieces. Bullseye grunted.
