A while later...

Still following Shannon, Crash yelled loudly. "How long have we been walking?"

His brother just stared when Shannon replied. "In thirty seconds...A full minute! Man, thanks for all the help!" Crash sensed the sarcasm dripping from her voice but Eddie, was completely oblivious. "You're welcome!"

Shannon looked at him and Crashed just slowly shook his head. "What? Was it something I said?"

"No, it's what you shouldn't have said."

Eddie just looked at them confused.


"So...Your sister...What does she look like?" Diego started.

"W-well...Oh! Right, she's shorter and smaller than me. Green eyes. Probably like an olive green or a bright green. Depends on the lighting around here." Lucy continued on about her sister. "Lighting?" The male asked, only to be ignored. "She's pretty stripey looking. Her fur is darker than mine. Like a brownish sort of color. Her tail's waay too long. But she likes it. She climbs trees too, and she's good at it. So we should really look everywhere.

"But she's not like a bat or a vulture or something. She occasionally comes down from trees. She also really likes to swim. She can hold her breath under water for almost five whole minutes! I can only hold mine for two. But no one's better than me at running. But she thinks that's a bad thing. That I run away too much. But I think it's pretty great. In case of emergencies, right? Anyways, her teeth are kinda sharp, but really short. I mean short.

"Her nose is either smaller or bigger than mine. Like thinner than mine but longer too? Those are impossible. Longer but thinner and that stuff. Now I can't tell which one's bigger, the fat one or the tall one? The tall one could be really bony. So it's not as good to eat. But the other one has too much fat, and that's unhealthy. So it's either eat and die or don't eat and die.

"Now that I think about it I'd rather eat and die."

Lucy went on and on about it. It wasn't even about her sister anymore. Diego just sighed and followed her.


"Do you have any idea where we should even look, Shannon?" Eddie started.

"Mmmm...Nope." She shrugged and continued around a large boulder before scurrying off to a bush and disappearing under it.

"Can you...Tell us more about what she looks like?"

"Sure!" She cried from the bush. "She's bigger than me. You know that. Her eyes are like an amber tint. Short tail. Big, but dull, teeth. Runs really fast and talks a lot. She won't shut up until you tell her to. She's extremely paranoid, so we shouldn't sneak up on her from behind. She scream your ears off. She's also kind of..." She bit her lip, trying to find the right word. But she ended up just using a hand gesture by twirling her index finger in the air beside her ear.

"Crazy?" Crash replied.

"Crazy, insane, out of her mind, the works."

And they continued off.

AN: Using James Owen's form of typing dialog here. I'm a lot better at writing now, prolly cuz the first chap was written two months ago.
