"The earth is trembling, child." Grandmother Willow said to Pocahontas once she, Snoopy and Woodstock arrived at the glade. "What's happened?"
"The warriors are here!" panted Pocahontas, before a voice called her name.
"Pocahontas!"
She turned and saw that it was...
"John!"
...who ran up the roots and told her. "Listen to me. My men are planning to attack your people. You've got to warn them."
"Maybe it's not too late to stop this." said Pocahontas as she took his hand. "You have to come with me and talk to my father."
"Pocahontas, talking isn't going to do any good." reminded John. "I already tried talking to my men, but everything about this land has them spooked."
Just then, there was a howl.
Everyone turned to see a weird looking animal staggering through the trees.
"That's the strangest creature I've ever seen!" said Grandmother Willow.
The weird animal, then, rolled down the hill and popped out of its log, which got caught in one of the trees.
John caught it, surprised that the weird animal was...
"Percy?"
...who, upon seeing Meeko again, freed himself from John's hands and chased after the raccoon, barking angrily.
"Easy, Percy, come here!" called John.
"Meeko, come back!" called Pocahontas.
"You see what I mean?" said John. "Once two sides want to fight, nothing can stop them."
"Come here. Come here, both of you!" said Pocahontas.
But Meeko ran past her with Percy still in pursuit.
"It's all right. He's a friend." assured John, who, then, called out to Percy. "Bad! Bad dog! Sit!"
Meeko hid behind Snoopy while Woodstock chirped angrily at Percy as if he was saying "Leave our friend alone, you bully!"
Thinking fast, Snoopy grabbed his little bird friend, using him as a club, hitting Percy's head, only making him more angrier.
"Snoopy, what are you doing?" said Pocahontas.
"Percy, get back here!" called John. "Stop that!"
But Percy kept barking at Snoopy and Meeko, who hurriedly climbed up one of the vines.
"All right, that's enough!" scolded Grandmother Willow, who appeared in front of Percy, who, upon seeing her, fell backward towards the pond, from which Grandmother Willow hoisted the little pug with her vines, saying."It's enough to make your sap boil."
Once Percy was set down next to Snoopy, Woodstock and Meeko, Grandmother Willow turned to Pocahontas and John.
"Now then, there's something I want to show you. Look."
She dipped one of her branches in the river.
From where she was standing, Pocahontas looked closer.
"The ripples."
"What about them?" asked John.
"So small at first," said Grandmother Willow. "Then, look how they grow. But someone has to start them."
"They're not going to listen to us." reminded John.
"Young man, sometimes, the right path is not the easiest one." agreed Grandmother Willow, who moved her roots, sliding John in front of Pocahontas. "Don't you see? Only when the fighting stops, can you can be together."
Pocahontas smiled at John, who smiled back at her and said. "All right. Let's go talk to your father."
In response, Pocahontas wrapped her arms around him.
Grandmother Willow smiled as she drew back the branches in front of her and the animals so they could give Pocahontas and John a moment to themselves.
Flit started to squeak as if he was saying, "Pocahontas, don't you dare..."
But Meeko just grabbed the little hummingbird and brought him back in while John leaned closer and kissed Pocahontas.
Little did they realize they were being watched by four eavesdroppers; Thomas, Linus & Charlie Brown and Kocoum, all in shock & surprise.
In a jealous rage, Kocoum let out a fierce battle cry, charging at John.
Charlie Brown tried to rush over and help his friend, but Linus pulled him back, saying. "Charlie Brown, no! He'll hurt you too."
"But we gotta do something." replied Charlie Brown.
As he saw Kocoum struggle with John, knife at hand, Thomas knew he had to do something.
"Get back to camp," he instructed to Charlie Brown and Linus. "And warn the others! Go!"
While Charlie Brown and Linus hurried off, Thomas rushed over to John and Kocoum, still scuffling.
"Leave him alone!" demanded Pocahontas as she tried to pull Kocoum away from John, only to be pushed aside.
Seeing Kocoum pointing his knife at John's neck, Thomas readied his gun and took aim.
"Kocoum, stop!" pleaded Pocahontas as she tried to pull him away from John.
Thomas recalled John's words...
"Both eyes open!"
...and pulled the trigger!
BANG!
Kocoum started to fall back, grabbing hold of Pocahontas's necklace, which only broke loose to her horror as the warrior fell into the pond, dead.
Upon hearing the shot and splash, Charlie Brown and Linus stopped running and looked at each other.
They knew they were suppose to head back to camp and warn the crew, but they couldn't leave Thomas...or John behind.
"Come on!" Charlie Brown said to Linus.
But as they started to hurry back, Thomas ran past them.
"Hey, where are you going?" asked Linus.
"The savages are coming!" Thomas called as he kept on running. "We have to warn everyone!"
"Savages?!" said Charlie Brown and Linus, who, upon hearing more battle cries, ran back for John.
But when they got to the glade, it was too late. The Indians had already seized John and dragged him away while three more of them carefully lifted Kocoum's lifeless body as Pocahontas watched, grief-stricken from what she had witnessed.
Unseen, Charlie Brown and Linus quietly backed away and rushed off.
Meanwhile, Meeko and Flit climbed up the tree branch, from where they saw everything that happened.
Snoopy and Wodstock didn't follow them, for they were trying to comfort a terrified Percy.
Meeko climbed back down and purred softly to Percy, who, along Snoopy and Woodstock, followed him and Flit up the tree branch.
