"Did you check around the back there?" Ren asked gesturing in the direction of the rocky hillside.
"Well, if we had and found him there, then I guess we wouldn't be having this conversation. Now would we." Tawny said crossing her arms.
"We looked everywhere!" Tom said.
"Don't panic. He has to be around here somewhere." Larry said with concern on his face and in his voice.
With that everyone started looking high and low for their missing friend.
"Where was the last place we say him?" Louis asked still looking all over.
"Last time I saw him, he was crawling around looking for Bacon." Twitty said climbing out of a tree.
"Beans! Beans!" Everyone started calling in the direction Beans was last seen crawling.
After about half an hour of looking they finally found him sitting under a tree crying.
"Beans, little buddy! I'm so glad we found ya!" Louis said running up to him. Then Tawny stopped him when they saw he was crying.
"What's the matter?" Ren asked kneeling down beside him.
"Bacon died." Beans said in between sobs.
"It was probably to cold for him." Tawny said kneeling down beside Ren.
"But he was my friend." Beans said still crying.
"I thought we were your friends." Twitty said.
"But you guys don't listen to me. And you never want me around." Beans said looking up from the lifeless frog in front of him.
"I'm sorry buddy. I didn't know you felt that way. But from now on were going to treat you differently." Louis said helping beans up and giving him a hug.
"Thanks. Now, can we go home? I'm tired of sleeping next to Twitty. He snores." Beans said as they started to walk back towards the way they had came.
"If that's what you want then I guess we could." Louis said rolling his eyes.
"Great! Then we leave tomorrow!" Ren said.
"I guess we all had a pretty good Christmas after all!" Larry said putting his arm around Ren.
