Well there u have it. I hope u enjoyed it and please review

Just joking lol. Love u Tapanga.

The party of raiders road past the tree, oblivious to the three girls watching from above. They even thought it was just a bird when a rock came flying from the tree and hit Damin in the head, almost causing him to fall off his horse. It must have been a strange bird as it made a strange noise like it was trying to stop itself from laughing at him.

"Oi Damin." Came a yell from the back of the party. "You may be popular with the women but not with the birds." All the raiders, except for Damin, burst out laughing. Damin ended up laughing along with them as he glared up at the tree.

"How dare he glare at us." Tash exclaimed after the raiders were a safe distance away.

"He wasn't," Ally said. "He was glaring at the bird."

"But I am the bird," Tash retorted with a grin.

"He didn't even say ouch" Tapanga said in wonder.

"No brain no pain." Said Tash, who dodged the stick thrown by Tapanga.

At this Ally laughed, which caused he to fall out of the tree. "Lucky I was on the lower branch." She laughed as she rubbed her backside.

Tash had climbed down from her branch in the tree and was whispering something to Tapanga, both were smirking. Ally yelled up at them to share whatever they were talking about. The two in the tree scrambled down and whispered into Ally's ear. She grinned and became an orange patched cow , Tash became a white fox, which had black tipped ears and tail and a black socks on her paws, Tapanga became a dark grey wolf. The three odd animals followed the raiders at a safe distance, making sure not to be seen

The three strange animals hid behind bushes and trees, in long grass and behind large rocks. While they were following, the party of raiders slowly began to quicken the pace. But the girls didn't notice and kept having fun trying to hide a cow behind a rather thin tree.

""What do u reckon this tree is called?"" asked the fox who was Tash

""I don''t know."" Said the wolf, who was Tapanga. ""What do you think I am? A gardener?""

""I think we should call it Cornus Florida, the dogwood tree."" Said the cow who was Ally and was currently trying to hide behind the tree.

""Why do you say that?"" asked the wolf

""Well there is a dog relieving itself on the other side of the tree,"" if a cow could grin, she would be right now. ""And trees are made from wood……. Hence the name dogwood.""

Both the wolf and the fox looked around the cow, who they were still trying to hide, and saw that there indeed was a dog. The dog was still relieving itself at the tree.

""Wow that dog must have been holding it for days,"" said Tash in wonder.

All of the animals laughed. This must have scared the dog, as he suddenly stoped and ran away to another nearby tree

""Don''t stay there too long doggy. We will be going to that tree soon"" said Tash as she waved to the dog. It heard Tash''s yelling and ran away into the bushes (Tash: as though it had got flashed by me……..Tapanga''s: no Tash, because anything that would get flashed by you would die.)

By the time the animalistic Tash, Tapanga and Ally had finished tormenting the poor dog, the raiders had moved out of sight. The girls ran in the direction that they had last saw them heading. When they caught up with the raiders, they found that they had so cross a small river that had I slight current.

""Oh no!"" said Tash dramatically. ""I don''t think we will be able to make it.""

""It will be a challenge to swim across, but I think we will be able to."" said Tapanga.

""I don''t want to swim."" Ally wined.

Tash took a running leap into the river and began to swim across, all you could see of her was two black tipped ears above the stirring water. All of a sudden the other two animals saw the fox go under the water, they looked around franticly but couldn''t seem to find her. They looked further down the river, the current was flowing, and saw a pair of black tipped ears pop up from out of the water.

""Tash what in the gods names are you doing?"" yelled the wolf.

""Something grabbed my paw,"" Tash yelled back. ""I think there is something in here with me."" Just at that moment the fox ears disappeared again.

""Right that''s it, I''m gonna kill her if she is joking"" Tapanga said as she jumped in after the fox.

""Well you have fun and I''ll just sit hear in the nice dry land. Yep no water at all."" said the cow. Just as she said those last fateful words, it started raining. ""Yep the gods hate me."" Ally walked slowly over to the river and dipped her hoof into the water, drawing it out quickly. ""Ohh that it too cold"" Ally would have smiled evilly when the idea came to her, but she was a cow and was not able to. She turned into a raft and slid in to the water. ""Well it is still cold but it is better that swimming.""

Just as Ally splashed into the water, Tapanga had reached the spot where Tash had once again come up to breath. Tapanga felt something bite her paw and snarled before she dived under the water to bite it back. The wolf had been under the water for some time, and tash was beginning to get worried. Ally had floated with the current to where they fox was and felt something crash into the botton of the raft that was her. The next thing they knew Tapanga scrambled onto the raft, dragging something up with her.

""Hey isn't that the dog that was peeing on the tree?"" Tash asked, as she pulled herself onto the raft

""Yes it is"" Tapanga snarled as she shook the excess water off of her.

""Hey,"" said Ally. ""I think I am sinking""

The unhappy looking dog jumped off the raft, that was Ally, and quickly swam the short distance to the other side of the small river. Once it reached the bank it turned around, looking most pleased with itself, and sniffed at them. It then turned around and headed of into the bushes.

""Gods I hate that dog"" Tapanga growled

""I think it was cute,"" said Tash. ""in an annoyingly weird way.""

""Hey guys, I''m still sinking"" Ally said.

At that the wolf and the fox started to paddle, with their paws, to the other side of the river. Once at the bank they dragged Ally, who wouldn''t change back in the water, onto the solid ground, where the raft turned back into a cow, and walked towards the bushes.

""Should we tell her that her bum is wet?"" Asked Tapanga with a grin

""Nah!."" Said Tash

""Hey it stopped raining"" said the cow, who was happy that she didn''t have to swim.

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

""Is it just me or does it feel like we are being followed?"" Damin asked Almodava

""Yes. I think we are being followed by a fox, a wolf and …… a cow? Well they are a strange bunch of animals."" answered Almodava. (AN: that reminds me of ice age…… a mammoth, a saber tooth tiger and a sloth lol)

""They have been following us ever since that bird threw a rock at your head,"" said one of the raiders.

""Yeah but they must have gotten lost at the small river we crossed back there,"" said another raider.

""That reminds me,"" Damin said. ""Where did that damn dog go, I lost sight of him just a while before we reached the river."" Just as he had said that the dog came trotting up to Damin. The wolf, the cow and the fox trying to hide in a log, but it wasn't very successful because the cow was too big. It was quite a funny sight and most of the raiders started sniggering.

""what in the gods names are those animals doing?"" Almodava surged and urged his horse forward.

The raiders decided that they would ignore the strange animals for now and keep riding. after a while the three animals disappeared again, this relieved the raiders, as they were going to steal some atheist cows from the Medalons.

The party crossed the boarder into Medalon and rode quietly towards the unsuspecting cows. They were shocked that when they got to the cows, they were in a panic. In the middle of the panic sat a the wolf and the fox from before. They were facing each other, and seemed to be in conversation. It was a strange sight, but what was even stranger, was the fact that the cow was nowhere to be seen. They knew this to be true, as the Medalon cows had a different colour to the other cow. As they watched this strange thing happening, the cows were running further and further away from the wolf, but all were headed in the same direction, towards a big tree to the left of the wolf and fox. Sitting under the tree was the missing companion of the other two animals. The cows seemed to be drawn to the strange cow, sitting under the tree. Once they got to the tree, they also sat down, but this was not the most odd thing about the situation. The weirdest thing was the fact that the cows sat in a circle, it was like they were having a war council. Then, suddenly, there was a loud yelling comming from the nearby farm house. The yelling was comming from the farmer, who was trying to protect his cows from being stolen. The raiders shrugged it off and turned back to where the circle of cows should have been, but it had dissapeaired. The cows were not sitting in a circle, they were slowly walking around eating the grass that was all over the ground. The raiders were shocked, they looked around fot the three animals who had started all of this, but they were gone, nowhere to be seen. The raiding party eventully dismissed the whole situation to be a trick of the light and left for another farm, as the farmer was threatening to get the red coated defenders.

Mean while, as the raiders left for another set of unsuspecting cows, the somewhat normal forms of Tash, Ally and Tapanga, were hiding behind the tree. Once all the people were out of hearing range they burst out laughing. "Well that's one farm of cows saved for another day." Ally said as she struck a dramatic pose.

"And it was so funny" Tapanga was still laughing. "I can't breath."

"Well I think it is getting late, and Brak will be wondering where we are" said Tash

"Wow Tash that is about the most sane thing you have said all day." Tapanga and Ally said at the same time and laughed.

"But we really should be getting back to the inn." Tapanga said after she could breath again

"Where is the inn anyway?" Ally asked.

Well that is chapter 3. Hope you all enjoyed. Please review.
