Bluey and Jenny

Chapter eleven: The Amazon Part Two: The Tiger

A Blue Heeler was shown in her bed as a German Shepherd about her age jumped on top of her, making her laugh with upbeat music playing. "Bluey and Jenny, (Bluey and Jenny fall out of bed while laughing) they're rarely seen without the other." Bluey and Jenny are shown to be in school wth a red heeler riding on Bluey's back, and a younger German Shepherd on Jenny's back. "Both are older sisters, (Jenny lifts her leg with Bluey gagging while laughing, Bingo just gagging, and the other German Shepherd laughing) as well as best friends forever."

Bluey and Jenny were shown to be walking through the forest with Bluey looking around in amazement. "Bluey is the truster, (Jenny is shown slashing at leaves with her sword) Jenny is the tomboy, (Bluey and Jenny find an amazing view of their town and look over it) they can make quite the pair." Bluey and Jenny are shown to be playing with Bingo and the younger German Shepherd as Jenny cuts down a bag of candy from a rope. "Also making things fun for Bingo and Chase, (All four of the kids laugh) with all the time they share."

Bluey and Jenny are shown to be decorating some kind of tree house in a backyard. "It's not imaginary, (Bluey and Jenny look out the window with Jenny giving a peace sign and Bluey leaning on the window) it's Bluey and Jenny."

Jenny was holding the tiger back by holding a knife up to it's neck while she was under it, leaving Bluey, Rusty, and Chloe fearing that she could get killed. Jenny started to reach for a rock with Bluey stabbing the Tiger's foot, making it roar as Jenny grabbed the rock and smashing it on the tiger's head. This made the tiger move back, and it started limping, leaving Jenny to lunging at it's head and stabbing it, making it go down in an instant. Rusty was making sure Chloe was safe and when both of them saw what happened, Jenny was checking something odd.

Bluey, Rusty, and Chloe were confused to find Jenny checking the tail of the tiger with Jenny being glad to find that it was long. "Okay good. This was a male." Jenny explained what that meant as soon as she got up. "The female tigers are the ones that raise the babies. If we're lucky this one will have not even had a mate."

Just then, another tiger's roar was heard with Jenny standing near the others to ensure protection as Bluey spoke up. "Um...Jenny, is there anything else you miraculously learned about Tiger's before we did this?"

"Well I learned that they can have siblings." Bluey and the others saw a couple of tiger's running towards them with all of them screaming in fear as they ran off, leaving Jenny to throw a smoke bomb at the ground to stall them. Jenny saw a river nearby and instantly told the others about it when she saw stable looking vines. "Guys, look!"

Bluey grabbed the first vine and handed it to Chloe, knowing she would freeze if the tiger caught them, and they eventually caught up with Rusty taking notice. "Jenny, we're gonna need another smoke bomb!"

Rusty held out his gun and shot at the tiger's foot, making it back up with Chloe making it across and throwing the vine back. Just then, a group of crocodiles started to come up one by one, much to the concern of the group. Bluey threw the vine to Rusty, who grabbed it and dodged the tiger just in time after his bullets ran out. He swung across, making it and throwing the vine back after Jenny grabbed a stick and swatted at the tiger with it, allowing Bluey to swing across and throw it back to Jenny. Jenny made it across while managing to avoid the crocodiles, just like Bluey and Rusty.

Bluey and the others looked to find the tiger leaving, and after they sighed of relief, Bluey and Jenny hugged before Bluey started to devise a plan. "Alright guys. There's no telling how long it'll take for the adults to get to us even with the tracking devices they put on us before we got here. (Looks at the audience) Feel free to bring up if we forgot to mention that before; we probably forgot in the writing process. (Looks back at the others) And obviously we can't make it across that crocodile pit again since the crocodiles will have an easier chance of biting us now."

Jenny realized something about the tiger that was quite surprising to her. "Hey Bluey, I just realized. We killed that tiger with just the two of us doing anything."

"Oh yeah, you're right." Bluey replied, and then Chloe flinched at the thought of her and Rusty not even needing to come, and then Bluey got to her survival plan. "For now though, we should focus on surviving until our parents find us. Jenny, you're on food scavenging since you're the toughest of us all. (Jenny gives a salute) Rusty, since your dad has military experience and likely taught you a few things, you're on defense duty. (Rusty gives a thumbs up) Chloe, you think you can pull off being our medic for the time being?"

Chloe wasn't sure if she could pull it off, but knew she'd have to step up to the task as she held back her current emotions. "I'll try."

"Since you're on that Chloe, let me know if you find out out to make a decent drug out here." Jenny joked, leaving Chloe stunned by what she said and having Jenny give a worried expression. "Too soon?"

"Yeah, but we also don't get how kids taking drugs is funny." Bluey explained, leaving Jenny to nod her head in understanding.

Chilli and the rest of the adults were looking for Bluey and the others, all prepped up for danger, with Chilli calling out to them. "Bluey!? Jenny!? Are any of you out here!?"

Chloe's mother walked up to Chilli, expressing her concerns for Bluey and Jenny's friendship. "Chilli, I think we both have the thought of Jenny being behind this fiasco in our heads. How have shee stayed friends with Bluey for so long."

"I ask that myself sometimes too Darcie." Chilli admitted, not too sure on how to answer that question. "I guess somehow their friendship just...works."

Ida and Rusty's dad were talking about what happened as Ida expressed immense remorse. "I'm so sorry about my daughter's actions Miles. I'll make sure she gets it when I get my hands on her."

"Whoa, take it easy Ida." Miles warned Ida, taking notice to how tense she was feeling about the whole thing. "I don't approve of what's going on either, but beating Jenny isn't gonna solve anything anytime soon."

Ida sighed with the tour guide speaking up about the situation. "Just so we're clear, we'll be making extra precautions to prevent this from happening again for when you guys come back. I take it Bluey and Jenny are rarely ever separated."

Chilli laughed a bit, having to admit that she always found her daughter's friendship with Jenny to be charming. "You got that rightt." Chilli then started to express concern for the kids, hoping they would be able to find them in time.

The next morning.

Bluey and the others were keeping their temporary base in line with Bluey looking over the horizon from a tree she climbed up. She saw a monkey climbing down to her and handed it a banana with a friendly smile, making the monkey smile before climbing back up as Bluey then slid down the chair and walked over to Jenny, who'd just come back with some food for the group. "Looks like food scavenging's going quite well Jenny."

Jenny set the food down and revealed a bunch of fruits and some small animals, making Bluey concerned for the latter until Jenny explained her reason for catching it. "I figured just fruit wouldn't be enough to keep us going and this was the only secondary option."

Bluey nodded in understanding as she then walked over to Rusty, who was getting a start on the defense for the base. It wasn't much, just some twigs stacked up like a wall, but it was a good start for what was to come. "Lookin good Rusty."

"Thanks Bluey." Rusty finished tying the last of the twigs he had together and stacking them upright for the wall. "Hard to believe it only took us an hour to get as far as we did with this." Bluey nodded in agreement with the two of them noticing Chloe struggling on the herbs, leaving Rusty to comment on it. "Though, you may wanna check on Chloe. Something tells me she needs some of your leadership guidance right now."

Bluey nodded in agreement and ran over to Chloe, who found it close to impossible to get anything done with these herbs. "What's wrong Chloe? I thought you said you hung out with Indy a few times before. Didn't you learn any herb making stuff from her mum?"

"She was always busy with work or something, so it was usually us and her dad watching us." Chloe explained, and Bluey sat down next to her with Chloe starting to get emotional with Jenny noticing from afar as she snuck over to behind the tree they were at. "What if they don't find us Bluey?" Bluey became surprised by Chloe's sudden cynical thought as she then explained why she had it. "We could be lost out here forever even with these trackers on us. I could be vanishing on my entire family; my parents, my baby brother...they'll never see me again and it's all because..."

Chloe started crying with Bluey comforting her, leaving Jenny to feel even worse about the situation than before. Bluey was there for Chloe however and knew what she was feeling. "They won't give up on us Chloe. I know my mum. Even if someone says to turn back, she won't leave, not if it means leaving us out here. And we still have Jenny and Rusty to protect us."

Chloe sniffled a bit, wiping her eyes as she expressed her feelings about trusting Jenny. "I guess. I just...I just wanna go home." Chloe continued to cry with Bluey rubbing her shoulder for comfort, leaving Jenny to feel even worse. She didn't know what the feeling was, hoping Bluey would be able to figure out.

Bluey and Jenny were cooking everyone's lunch with Jenny noticing Chloe trying to make another herb, doing better than before, but still failing. Bluey could tell that Jenny was affected by the situation and figured a conversation would help. "You okay Jenny?"

Jenny flinched and responded to what Bluey asked, hoping she wouldn't end up eventually looking dumb. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking." Jenny could tell Bluey was aware of what she felt and knew it'd be best to just come out with it. "Does Chloe hate me?" Bluey was a little surprised to hear that, but not by much, since Jenny has quite the reputation. "I overheard you talking to her earlier. I feel like I ruined her life by dragging her out here."

"I'm sure our parents are still looking for us Jenny." Bluey assured Jenny with a smile, knowing that their moms weren't the type to give up on their kids. "And Chloe's not the type to hold a grudge, so I doubt she's mad, or at least I'm sure she doesn't hate you." Bluey finished cooking one of the kebabs and set it aside with the rest as she showed her high optimism through and through. "We'll get through this. I know we can."

Jenny always loved how optimistic Bluey could be and couldn't help but smile at it. She then looked at Chloe again, wondering if she should check to see if she hates her. "Should I...talk to Chloe about the situation?"

Jenny finished the last of the kebabs as Bluey answered her question. "I think that'd help a lot. Plus if you say the right thing, it could increase the chance of Chloe forgiving you after this whole affair." Jenny saw Bluey's point as the Blue Heeler stood up to go get Rusty. "I'll go and get Rusty for lunch so you can talk in private."

Jenny nodded and hugged Bluey before they headed off, Bluey to get Rusty, and Jenny to talk to Chloe. When Jenny went up to Chloe, she was admittedly nervous, but still managed to start up the conversation. "Hey Chloe. Mind if we talk for a bit?"

Chloe set the herbs down and let Jenny sit next to her as she replied. "I'd actually like it a lot."

"Oh thank God, I was worried you hated me." Jenny stated with relief, making Chloe laugh a bit at what she just said as Jenny got to the serious stuff. "If I'm being serious though Chloe, I'm not blind. Maybe I lack common sense, I don't know. But I DO know that I screwed us all over, especially you." Chloe could tell that Jenny was trying, sensing the genuine emotion in her voice and expression. "Bluey thinks our parents will be able to find us, but what if they don't? Your baby brother's gonna grow up in this world with a traumatized couple for parents."

Chloe couldn't help but think about her parents and then brought something else up. "I'm guessing you heard me and Bluey talking earlier."

"It was pretty hard not to wanna eavesdrop." Jenny admitted, and then she got to the big picture. "I guess you could say...I screwed up. And that, there's a word that starts with an s, ends with a y, and has five letters in it, that I'm not used to saying because I always felt weird when I tried but really want to, and if I could say it without feeling awkward, I would."

Chloe hugged Jenny while smiling, much to her surprise as the Dalmatian stated something about what just went down. "Luckily I'm used to accepting someone's apology." Jenny smiled and hugged Chloe, only for Chloe to see something near the food. "Jenny, look!"

Jenny pulled Chloe away to see what she warned her about and the both of them were looking at a tiger creeping up on their food. Jenny some the weapons in a nearby bush, which is where she hid them for convenience, and looked at Chloe with a determined look. "Stay here Chloe." Chloe nodded with Jenny rushing over to the bush, rolling over to it and picking up a gun without catching the tiger's attention. She then came out of the bush and spoke up without hesitation. "Hey orange zebra!" The tiger looked at Jenny, who didn't back down upon being glared at. "Didn't your mummy ever teach you that it's not nice to steal?"

The tiger crept closer to Jenny, who didn't hesitate to leave a warning fire to make the tiger stop moving. "I'm not kidding! If you get too close, it's lights out." Just then, Jenny heard a young sounding roar, looking to find two tiger babies, making her astonished when she looked at the tiger. "You're a mother?" The tiger lunged at Jenny, who dodged just as Bluey and Rusty got back and saw the danger. Jenny shot at the tiger again and saw Bluey and Rusty right there. "Bluey, Rusty, get the knives quick!"

"Right!" Bluey and Rusty rushed over to the knives with Bluey taking both of them and tossing one to Rusty. "Don't aim for the head Rusty. It looks like the tiger's a mother."

"You got it." Bluey and Rusty rushed over to the tiger, who dodged their stabs with Chloe then shown to be watching the scenario, conflicted on what to do about the sudden tiger attack. Dozens of thoughts were coursing through her veins and confusing her, making her hear pump as fast as it could while she tried to decide on what she should do.
