The sky was grey and musky. It almost looked as if there was going to be storm. Tricity couldn't keep her and Espio was falling behind quickly. Shadow was the only one who was energetic. The group was walking through a dense brush forest. Espio turned back and collasped.
"What's wrong? Why did you just collasp like that?" Asked Tricity.
"I- I can't go on. My feet are killing me. I c-can't breath. Hack, hack, hack." Replied Espio. "J-just go on without me. I'll s-stay right here until you come b-back."
"I can't just leave you here. The dinosaurs will be attracted to your scent. I don't want to come back and see bodyparts laying around." Said Tricity sounding worried.
"D-don't worry ab-bout me. I'll be f-fine. J-just go." Espio reassured her.
"You sure you want us to go?" Tricity asked.
"If it means not g-getting you g-guys f-fired, t-then yes." Said Espio.
"Okay. Bye Espio. I hope you'll be okay." She said kissing him on the forehead.
Tricity got up and walked with Shadow looking back and waving.
"He'll be fine. Don't worry. If Espio needs us, he can use his cell phane to locate us. Okay? I don't want you to be worried and not help me take pictures of the dinosaurs." Said Shadow.
"As long as i know he's okay, I won't be worried. Besides, I'll call and check up on him every once and a while." Replied Tricity.
The two walked off together.
"I hope that old ninja will be okay." Tricity said.
"Do we have to go over this again? He'll be fine." Shadow complained.
They came to clearing filled with longnecks snd triceritops. Tricity pulled out her camera and took pictures of them both.
"Cross these two off the list. I got 'em." Tricity instructed.
"Triceritops and longnecks crossed off." Answered Shadow.
"How are we going to get across that lake?" Asked Shadow pointing to large lake. "It's huge and probably deep too."
"I have an idea. Follow me." Tricity said.
Tricity walked over to a longneck and turned to Shadow.
"You still have the rope?" She asked.
"Yeah. Why?" Replied Shadow.
"Give me it." She said holding out her hand.
Shadow gave her the rope and Tricity put her hand on the dinosaurs leg. The creature turned his head and looked at her with large deep blue eyes. He made a low grunt and rubbed his head up against her. Tricity held out her hand and pet the animals nose. The longneck lowered his head so that she could climb on.
"Well come on. What are you waiting for?" Tricity said.
She raised one foot on the animals cheek and held on to the top of it's head. Then Tricity raised her other foot on to the dinosaurs cheek and slid her other foot up onto the creatures neck. She then grabbed onto it's neck and climbed the rest of the way up. Then Tricity tapped on the animals mouth and it opened. Shhe unrolled the rope and put it into it's mouth and grabbed the two ends with both hands to steer the dinosaur.
"All abored." Tricity said with a chuckle.
Shadow climbed up and Tricty pulled on both ends to make the longneck put his head up.
"Whoa." Shadow said as they raised into the air.
"Hold on." Tricity said as she pulled on the right end of the rope.
