A while later, Manny finally managed to get the sisters to sit still. Sid was carrying rocks at the moment, making a fire.
"So, powerful fire king, " Shannon started. "Are you called that because you make fire, or you're on fire?"
The sloth turned to her seated position next the Crash and Eddie and asked. "What?" He looked around, saw his blazing tail and started blowing on it while screaming. When that didn't work, he threw it on the ground and stepped on it, screamed some more and that was when Manny blew water from his trunk onto Sid.
"I hope you cleaned that, pal."
"Not a chance, Sid."
"Hmph." Sid continued to take his place to Diego's right, on his left being Lucy, chattering away, then Lucy, Crash and Eddie, busy laughing at Sid's expense, Ellie seated next to them with Peaches bouncing up and down between her and Manny, who was, in turn, next to Sid. All were seated around the campfire, eager to learn more about the sisters.
"So," Ellie started. "tell us about yourselves. It's always fun to learn new things about new people, right Manny?"
"Yeah, I guess. If by 'new people' you don't refer to Sid and, or those obnoxious antelopes across the river." He said flatly.
"Right. Anyways, continue!"
"Well," Both sisters looked at each other.
Shannon began first. "It all started when I was around two, Luna was one-"
"And a half!"
"...And a half, so my parents..."
Two adult opossums and two younger ones were frolicking around a field that day. The two elder ones were chatting in some patches of sun while the others played around in the water.
"So, some of the others think it's time to move, since Duke's mother died. They think it's a sign, since she's still young. But it's pretty obvious it was from the poison ivy we spotted near by. Sometimes, I see her scratching." The female spoke.
"Fe, the elders will never believe us, Kath and Tank. They're too old-fashioned, relying to much on these silly superstitions." The male countered.
"Still, we have to try. I just wish more possums believed us. Shan and Charlie?"
"They're too young to take part in these situations."
"Duke?"
"Too upset."
"Leila?"
"She's too melancholy, she won't take part in this."
"Jules and Bern?"
"They're immature, they won't be trusted."
"Ugh."
"I know, Fe. I know.
"I just, don't want to move! I've lived here all my life, Victor. My parents, Janeth and Kane, lived here all their lives. My grandmother, Harriet...This is where she met Frank..."
"I know, Fe. But, there's nothing we can do about it. We're moving."
AN: Made it TBC because I didn't want it to be too long. Hope no one gave up on this! I'm no good at flashbacks...
Anyways, peace on earth and goodwill towards women! (I'm kinda feminist, don't be offended)
