Okay, Chapter 13 is up and running!

Fox: It's not an icecream machine...

Oh be quiet.

Fox: Hurry up, get on with the story already, I wanna see what happens!

Alrighty, I think everything's set so let's go.

Chapter 13

After spending two nights in the forest... Fox, Peach, Falco, Ness and the horse were still at the old shack, they thought they were pretty safe. Of course, they were safe, seeing as the bear got run over... (cough) Yes, so, the rain had cleared up and everybody was outside the shack.

"You guys wanna head out of here and find Link and Zelda?" Ness asked while he hopped off the horse's back. Falco was seated on the old broken stairs of the shack.

"I think we should go get them, it's not raining anymore and since the bears gone, we can go."

Fox walked over to Peach, who was still petting the horse's nose.

"C'mon Peach, climb on, we gotta go." He said.

Falco whipped out his cellphone and called Link.

Riiiiiing... Riiiiiiing... Riiiiiing... Riiiiiing... BEEP!

"Hello?" A voice said.

Falco stood up and paced around in circles. "Link, is that you?" He said. Link answered, "yes it's me, where are you guys?"

Falco walked faster. "We're at the shack where we started." Link looked out the treehouse window. "Where's the bear?"

"It got run over." Falco winked.

Link climbed down from the treehouse and told Zelda to follow him. "Well we're walking down the trail back to the shack, you should come the other way and we'll most likely meet."

"Will do." Falco said. He hung up the phone and climbed on the horse infront of Peach. "Come on guys, we have to pick up those two and get back to the bus."

Everybody got onto the horse's back, and they rode through the forest.

(Time check, it's about 3:13 where they are.)

"Where did they say they were?" Fox asked. The horse walked slowly down the trail as the four bumped up and down. Falco answered Fox, "they said they were walking down the trail too, so we'll meet up with them soon."

Sooner or later, they came to a two-way road.

"Which way is it?" Peach asked while glancing back and fourth.

"Not sure..." Falco said quietly. "We might as well just guess a way and hope it's the right way!"

"Whoa whoa whoa, no way we're doing that!" Fox barked. "What if we go the wrong way and miss them? We should stay here and wait."

Falco sighed, "fiiiiine, we'll wait here."

Suddenly the horse padded his hoofs on the ground.

"Oh no..." Falco said to the horse. "Don't-"

The horse plopped down on the ground and everyone slid off the end and landed on top of eachother. "sit..." Falco sighed.

"MY NEW MANICURE!" Peach squealed. "IT'S RUINED!"

Fox added, "oh my aching... everything..." he rubbed his back slowly.

"Oh that was painful..." Falco let out a heavy sigh.

Minute after minute, the Smashers sat around, waiting for Link and Zelda.

Fox walked around in circles. "When are they coming?" He moaned.

Ness layed down on a log. "This is boring..."

Peach studied the stop-sign. "S-T-O-P... that spells... stop."

Falco sat down under a tree.

"S-T-O-P... stop stop stop..." Peach mumbled.

Ness fell asleap on the log, while Fox continued walking around.

Peach stood next to the stop sign and studied it some more. "S-T-O-P spells... stop..."

Ness snored...

"S-T-O-P... spells... soap..." Peach mumbled to herself. "S-T-O-"

"WILL YOU CUT IT OUT!" Falco yelled.

"Sorry..." Peach said quietly.

About ten minutes went by, until FINALLY Link and Zelda came walking up the road.

"GUYS!" Zelda yelled excitedly, she ran up and gave each of them a hug.

"Zelda!" They all yelled back.

Link ran over and hugged everyone aswell. "Oh we missed you guys so much!"

"I know, we have too!" Falco said happily.

"Oh my God I just remembered!" Fox shouted. Everyone stared. "Everyone else is still in the bus!"

"You're right!" Peach said. "We have to get back there!"

Fox lifted Ness (who was still asleap) on his shoulder, and put him on top of the horse. Ness and Falco rode on the horse while everyone walked by foot.

"This is a long walk, what can we talk about while we're walking...?" Fox asked the others.

"Oh! I just have to tell you one thing, it was really funny!" Peach giggled. Everyone was quiet. "Okay well the other night, I was asleap, and I had this weird dream. So it was me, Fox, Nana and Popo. We were all in the castle, and suddenly a bunch of kittens run up to us, out of nowhere, and started attacking Fox with egg beaters..." She laughed to herself. "It looked really funny!"

Everyone giggled.

From the rain clearing up and the sun coming out, a beautiful rainbow appeared.

"Oh look!" Peach pointed to the sky. "A rainbow!"

"What, are they going to attack me too?" Fox said sarcastically.

Peach laughed and playfully slapped Fox on the side of the head. "No, silly."

--------------------------

The six continued walking for about fifteen minutes.

--------------------------

"So, what were you guys up to while we were at the treehouse?" Link asked while kicking a small rock while he walked.

Fox opened his mouth to tell the story, when,

"It's a long story..." Falco inturrupted.

"Yeah." Fox agreed. "It's a pretty long story..."

Link replied, "well we have the whole walk back to the bus, I have time..."

"You wanna hear the whole thing?" Fox said quietly.

"Yep."

"Alrighty then..." Falco said. "I'll tell it!"

"But it's really really long..." Fox said.

Link answered. "Make a long story short."

(Read this fast, if you please.)

Falco agreed. "Alright, so here it goes..." He took a breath. "Okay, well, first we were all at the shack, then we saw the bear, so then you guys ran off to the treehouse, then I heard a horse make noises from an old barn that nobody knew was there, so I ran off into the forest to find it, then Ness ran after me because he didn't wanna be stuck here with the bear, even though Fox and Peach were there just chillin', so anyway, then we were trapped there, then I remembered I had my walkie talkie from the road, so I told Fox I was there so then we were chatting for a while then I met this horse who was really stubborn cause it never let me ride him and he kept sitting and knocking me off his back so I gave up on riding him, so then Ness fell asleap so I had to get on that stupid horse on my own, meanwhile you guys were at the treehouse just while Fox and Peach were just chillin' in the shack, so then this big gust of wind comes and knocks this big ol' hunk of tree through the window and Ness get's stuck under it so I had to save him, then he was unconcious for like, twenty minutes so I was dealing with that dumb horse while Fox and Peach were still just there chillin' in the shack." Falco took a long, cleansing breath. "So then after I finally get on the horse so he rides me and Ness back to the shack where Fox and Peach were just chillin', but on the way the stupid horse decides to start playin' sneaky games on me again and goes the wrong way so then we run into the bear, so we turn around the zoom the other way while the bears chasing us, so then we're galloping heroically through the forest then we finally come to the shack where Fox and Peach are just chillin' and the bear keeps running and gets run over by the icecream truck, and then we sleep there for the night and then in the morning we call you and come down the path and wait for you two, to come so while we're waiting, we're totally bored so Peach gets all wacko and won't stop reading the stop sign even though it only says one word, but after that, you guys finally come and we're all happy and then we were walking down the road and you asked to hear the story so I told it, so now we're all just chillin'!" Falco finished, he smiled. "So that's what happend, long story short."

Fox sighed. "You, Ness and horse did all that, while me and Peach were 'just chillin'?"

Falco grinned, "yep!"

Link gasped. "Wow, that was long, sounds like you guys had a lot of fun."

"Yep, well it wasn't all fun at the time but it sounds fun now!" Falco said while giggling to himself.

Fox added, "yes it sounds wonderfully fun now, but it sounded fun then too, since me and Peach were just chillin'." He said sarcastically.

"Oh come on Fox I was just joking." Falco said playfully.

From all that story telling, the Smashers found themselves back at the ditch, where they left the others in the bus.

"Looks like we made it back!" Peach smiled.

Nana peeked out the window of the bus and saw the six friends (and the horse) walking up to the door.

The other Smashers gathered around the door on the inside of the bus.

Fox bent down and knocked on the sideways door, since the bus fell to the side when it fell in the ditch.

Knock, knock, knock...

Nana joked, "well I wonder who that could be."

Everyone inside laughed.

Nana unlocked the hatch on the door and it swung open.

"WE'RE BACK!" Peach and Ness yelled together.

Everyone was so excited to see them back. Now, not to say there wasn't tons of hugging and kissing going on, but I'll save that for later...

"I can't believe you're back!" Yoshi said while grinning widely. Falco and the others climbed in the bus. There was tons of talking, the whole bus was a racket.

"What happend to you guys out there?" Popo asked. "Were you okay?" Bowser asked.

Mario and Luigi ran up with some fresh fruit. "Come grab something to eat guys!" Everybody gathered around and had a huge feast in honor of the Smasher's return.

"Hey, out of all that excitement, we totally forgot why we actually went out to the forest in the first place!" Falco laughed.

Fox added, "yeah, it was pretty pointless to go out there, but we had fun."

"We'll find our way back home somehow." Falco was lifted into a good mood. "That won't be a problem."

Peach stood on top of the portable cooler. "Okay everybody I have a very important announcement!" She clapped her hands together to get everyone's attention. "Shhhhhhh."

Everyone was quiet, they all listened.

"Now," Peach started. "For future referance, Falco is never driving again!" She laughed.

Everybody else laughed along with her.

And they were all just chillin'.
