A Musical Sequel

The Bare Necessities

The boys walked into the forest.

"You know, I don't think the land is my forte," Fishman said.

"Well, we've got to find what we need to survive while we figure out a plan," Blue Bird said.

"I'll go fish," Fishman said as he left.

Blue Bird took the other guys into the jungle, letting his instincts take hold. The grout soon found itself in the middle of a clearing, not exactly sure what to do.

"So, what do we do now?" Beast asked.

Blue Bird grinned at him. "Look for the bare necessities

The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life."

"Wait, what?" Flash asked.

"Just forget about all your troubles, forget about the memory loss, forget about the fact we're stuck on this island. Just let your instinct take over," Blue Bird said. "Wherever I wander, wherever I roam

I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me
When you look under the rocks and plants
Be careful to know what you can and can't

Eat around this jungle.The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!"

"So, you're saying if we let our instincts take over, we'll be fine?" S asked.

"No, you have to use some common sense. Let me check over what you've found before you eat it."

"All right."

"Look for the bare necessities
The simple bare necessities
Forget about your worries and your strife
I mean the bare necessities
That's why a guy can rest at ease
With just the bare necessities of life."

Beast, Flash, and Red got busy. S shrugged and went to grab a pineapple. It pricked him, and he punched it. The pineapple was turned to mush."Now when you pick a mango
Or a small pineapple
And you prick a sharp pineapple
Next time beware
Don't pick the sharp pineapple at all.
When you pick a banana
Don't let them all fall," Blue Bird said, glancing over at the younger kids trying to pull a bunch of bananas. "But you don't need to eat them all
Maybe try to pick something that's not so tall
Have I given you a clue?"

The younger boys nodded, S shrugged."The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!"

The group went back to the seashore where they found Fishman coming out of the water. In his hands were several fish. They pulled together a small shelter out of bamboo, leaves, and some rope Blue Bird found in his belt.

Afterwards, they sat in a circle around a fire they had managed to start, eating and laughing. Blue Bird laid back in the sand.

"So just try and be wary, yeah, that's it
Fall apart in my backyard
'Cause let me tell you something guys
If you act like that turtle acts, uh uh
You're not helping at all

And don't spend your time lookin' around
For something you want that can't be found
When you find out you can live without it
And go along not thinkin' about it
I'll tell you something trueThe bare necessities of life will come to you."

"Let's get some rest guys, the real work begins tomorrow," S said.

I'll be home tomorrow... so happy. And Breeze decided not to be Breeze anymore, now she's Ash. It works, I guess. I hope you enjoyed the chapter, Ash'll have something up today or tomorrow.

Have a righteous day,
