I'm back and here's the next chapter!
Somewhere out in the middle of the state, Doris Deer kept walking mile after mile still, but she was still bitter and unwilling to trust Lucky again. "He's wrong." she snarled. "Who does he think he is: a cross between a park ranger and a pastor?! He doesn't deserve to help me; he should go back where he belongs: IN A SWEATSHOP! I can get back home on my own now." But then, suddenly... she started to have second thoughts about what she said to him. "Oh, who am I kidding?This is all my fault. *Sniff, sniff* None of this had ever happened if I told Lucky off." She said with regret. "And now…" Her voice trailed off. "I'll never get back home. Oh Lucky, WHAT HAVE I DONE?!" Suddenly, she spotted an old, abandoned house on the top of a hill. "Oh, I guess I'll have time to relax from all this walking." Walking up to the front door, she peeked inside and said, "Hello?" Her voice echoed through the foyer. "Anybody home?"
She sighed. "I'll just have to wait outside. But, then again… I'll check it out." And she sat on the couch to wait. Not far from the house, the squad car and Turbokat rode up over the hillside and onto the other side.
"Did we lose her yet?" asked Lucky on a walkie-talkie.
"No." replied T-Bone. "There's no sign of her. She's not in any town, not in the Blue Ridge Mountains, not anywhere at all." He felt disappointed. "We're closing up shop. We tried though."
"Awww, c'mon! Where's your sense of determination?!" shouted Bonkers. "Why I bet that she'll be just in an old, abandoned house on top of the hill. Just you wait and see."
"Wait! I smell something!" Patou put his nose to work by sniffing the perimeter. "There's Ms. Deer! She's in that ol', abandoned house on top of the hill. Bonkers was right!" But there was trouble. "Hey, what's that?"
"I think it's a giant robot. And that means…" Lucky gasped in terror. "DORIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSS!"
Bonkers did a wild take. "DORIIIIIIIIISSSSSSS!" Quickly, with no time to lose, everyone hopped out of their respective vehicles and ran into the house.
"Doris, get out of there! There's a big, scary robot waiting to kill you!" Lucky shouted.
"What?!" She responded as the wall gave way to a very large hand. "Oh no! Not you again!" The sapsucker reached its hand through the wall to grab Doris, but T-Bone jumped in and stamped down on it with his feet. The sapsucker howled with pain.
Not able to take the pain anymore, the sapsucker pulled out a giant toilet plunger (from off-screen) and started plunging the wall. "PUMP! PUMP! PUMP!" It went. "LUCKY, HELP! IT'S GOT MEEEEEEEE!" He did so as his toupee was sucked in as well.
"BONKERSSSSSS!"
Bonkers grabbed him by the shoulders as did T-Bone, Razor, and everybody else as they formed a human chain. Stubbs, who was holding tight to the doorway, shouted, "I CAN'T HOLD ON MUCH LONGER!"
And he was right. The doorway gave way as everybody was pulled inside the sapsucker!
Inside the carnivorous contraption, everyone bumped and bashed around.
"Has anyone seen my toupee?"
"What happened to my beret?"
"I can't see!"
"It's too dark!"
"How 'bout some light?"
Bonkers lit a match. The sapsucker noticed he was burning up, so he ran around the valley, flailing his arms until he came to a lake. It sucked it up whole so hard that everyone recognized that there was a way out!
"Everybody, follow me!" T-Bone shouted. Everyone held their breaths and swam and swam as hard as they could until they were out in the dried-up lake.
The sapsucker looked at them and tried to catch them, but he rolled down the slope like a bowling ball. "GET OUTTA THE WAY!" Lucky shouted. They went out of its path, just in time as hit a grove of trees as if they were bowling pins.
Quickly, everyone ran through the forest and back to the old house. Panting like a dog, Doris was the first to speak up. "Lucky, I'm very sorry I yelled at you. And I'm also sorry that I went on my way home alone without you people. I know now it's wrong to stray away from the group."
"And I'm sorry, too," added Lucky. "For saying it's wrong to have an interspecies romance. I guess I know now you and Copyboy were meant for each other."
"Now, that's more like it." said Patou. "I'm proud of you, both. For making things up like friends do."
"Let's sing a song!" said Fall-Apart Rabbit.
Lucky: Friends are there,
All: To help you get started,
To give you a push on your way,
Lucky: Friends are there,
All: To turn you around,
Get your feet on the ground for a brand new day,
Lucky: They'll pick you up when you're down,
All: Help you swallow your pride,
When something inside,
Got to break on through to the other siiiiiiiiiide,
Lucky: Friends are someone you can open up to,
All: When you feel like you're ready to flip,
Lucky: When you've got the world on your shoulders,
All: Friends are there to give you a tip,
Lucky: Friends are there when you need them,
They're even there when you don't
All: For a walk in the park,
For a shot in the dark,
Friends are there.
Snipes: I don't care.
All: But friends will care… for you-ou-ou-ou-ou!
"So, Ms. Deer. How much do you know about fighting?" asked T-Bone. Doris gulped.
Well, Lucky, Doris, and the gang are back together. Maybe now, Doris will kick Icy's butt! Read and review!
