As Ren and Larry fell asleep that night little did they know that the very people they were looking for were only a couple miles away.
"Does anyone want to sing a rousing campfire song?" Tom said after they had settled down for the night.
"Tom, every night you ask us that. And every night the answer is always the same. No!" Twitty said looking up at the sky.
"Well then why don't we just do things your way and talk about what all the girls are doing back home!" Tom said leaning his back against a tree.
"Not a bad idea! Hey Louis, I just thought of something! When we go back, since everyone thinks were dead, we'll have all the girls on us like dogs on a bone!"
"Yeah! Your right!" Louis said giving Twitty a high five. That is, until he looked at Tawny. "Oh, sorry Tawny."
"Yeah. You better be sorry." Tawny said laying down beside Louis.
"Good night Bacon." Beans said putting the unlucky toad into his sock.
"Beans, when will you ever give that poor toad a break?" Tawny said looking over at Beans in disgust.
"Never. He's my little friend." Beans said settling back down.

"Hey guys! I think I found something!" Louis said as he ran over to his still sleeping friends.
"What man? And it better be important! You just woke me up from a dream where I was making out with that new red headed cheerleader! " Twitty said looking at Louis groggy-eyed.
"You bet it is! I think I just found us some permanent shelter!" Louis said with a big smile.
"Woooooohoooooo!" Everyone shouted at once as they got their stuff and followed Louis to a rocky hillside.
At first it looked like all the other hills they had seen. But as they got closer they could see a small, almost unnoticeable hole in between two rocks.
"Uh Louis, I hate to break it to ya, but no one could get into that little crack." Tawny said when she saw what Louis had found.
"That's what you think! But if you place your body in just the right position," Louis said as he demonstrated it for them. "you can get right in! And there's plenty of room for us all!"
"Sweet man!" Twitty said as he stepped over and went through just like Louis had showed him.
"Wow Louis! I knew you'd come through for us!" Tom said as he also slipped in. Then Tawny and Beans followed after until everyone was in the cave.
When they got in they found it to be a little bit on the damp and dark side, but that could easily be worked around. Soon everyone was working to make it a comfortable place to live.
