Okay, I hope FanFiction starts working soon, it's been having some trouble showing chapter 2…
Hijaa and Teino
"Hmmmm, I've got a few variations of that Sweet Apple Pear pie you like. One's your basic recipe, one's got almonds, peanuts, and cashew, and the last has a berry filling," the fat cook's voice rang through the hallways as he discussed pies with the old grey mouse next to him.
"I liked that nut one last year, is it the same?" asked the Abbot.
"Pretty much. I've also got a huge Raspberry pie, the crop was good this year. It's got plenty of almonds. Mmmmm, I love pie!"
"So do I," the Abbot agreed with a laugh, "so do I." Behind the two friends crept an unnoticed fox, who blended in with the shadows on the stone wall. Why he snuck after them, Zekka didn't know. He didn't know anyone, or where anything was. If he followed them, maybe they'd lead him somewhere… As the Abbot walked outside, Onie continued down the pathway. Zekka decided to go outside. It was a crisp, clear morning. The Redwallers were out and about, some strolling through the trees, others sitting by the pond watching the otters swim. As Zekka stepped out of the building, two little hedgehog children came running by. They were very tiny, and the fox almost stepped on them (that would have been a painful experience!) As they ran by, the Abbot turned to watch them. When he saw Zekka, he looked startled, but then gave a pleasant smile.
"Those two rascals are Hijaa and Teino. They're only dibbuns, but they manage to get into lots of trouble." Zekka watched as they plowed strait into an extremely prickly, and now extremely peeved, old hedgehog maid.
"Uh, hiya!" spoke one of the little ones.
"Sorry 'bout dat, won't 'appen again!" spoke the other. The big hedgehog picked them both up and scolded them.
"You two know better than to run 'round like rabbits on fire! You should be much more careful! What If I'd have of been the Abbot, walkin' out of this door?" one of the hogs laughed.
"But da Abbot's over there!" he said grinning. The older hog scowled at the little one.
"You know what I mean, Teino," she growled. Teino gulped and looked at Hijaa for help. She continued to scold them.
"That right there," said the Abbot, "Is Miss Bell, Hijaa and Teino's mother. Their dad, Ed, is the Cellarhog here at Redwall. Have you ever tasted some of his October Ale?"
"No."
"Well, come down to the cellar with me! It is absolutely wonderful!" The old gray mouse was quickly followed by the young, gray fox. After they left, Hijaa and Teino ran out of the big building, with Bell calling after them "Be careful now!" The hogs stopped running to talk to each other about what they heard out the window.
"Hey Teino!"
"Yeah Hijaa?"
"Did you hear dat da Abbot was goin' down to the cellar?"
"Yup. Maybe we should follow dem! We've still gots our reeds from da last time, don't we?"
"We sure do!" Hijaa rustled his spikes, "I sure do like dat strawberry fizz, don't you?"
"Yup. Let's go!"
