Ch. 4: Tweedlesnip and Tweedlesnail

Sweetie Belle continued to look around for Angel until she came to a very straight and narrow log.

"Maybe he went in here." she mused as she went into the log and started crawling through it.

"Man," Sweetie Belle's voice through the log said, "who'd have thought logs would've been this long?"

When she came to the log's end, she came face-to-face with 2 creatures. A blue pair of scissors with eyes and an orange pack of hair and a tan snail with green hair. They also seemed to be dressed up in small clothing,

"Oh, hello," said Sweetie as she stands up, "Who might you be?"

"I'm Tweedlesnip," said the scissors.

"And I'm Tweedlesnail," said the snail.

"Hmm," said Sweetie Belle in thought, "you guys kind of remind of me of 2 boys I know."

"Really?" said Tweedlesnail.

"How uncanny," said Tweedlesnip.

"Have you both seen a little white rabbit dressed in a tux and carrying a pocket watch?"

"A rabbit?" asked Tweedlesnip.

"Yes," said Sweetie, "he belongs to a friend of mine."

"Well, rabbits do live in the forest," said Tweedlesnail dumbly, "and it's over there." He used his eye socket to point to the forest behind him.

Sweetie Belle gave an annoyed look and said, "Can you please be more specific?"

Tweedlesnip then asked, "Are you just looking for him to take him back to your friend or are you curious to know hwere he is going."

Sweetie Belle thought about it and said, "Both, actually."

"Ahh," the Tweedle-duo said before saying, "You're curious?"

"Y'know," said Tweedlesnails, "you remind me of a bunch of oysters who were curious."

"Oysters?" asked Sweetie Belle.

"Yeah," said Tweedlesnips, "a dishonest walrus and his carpenter sidekick ate them up."

"Goodness," said Sweetie Belle in surprse.

"I know," said Tweedlesnip.

"Well, thank you for warning me about the dangers of curiosity," said Sweetie Belle as she went back to look for Angel, "but I must get back to my quest."

Suddenly, the tweedle's got in her way.

"You sure you don't wanna here another story?" said Tweedlesnip.

"Yeah," said Tweedlesnail, "You could learn a thing or two."

"No thanks," said Sweetie Belle as she went pass them, but accidentally slipped on Tweedlesnail's slime, causing her to fall. She screams until a snip is heard and stops falling. She looks behind her and sees Tweedlesnip holding the back of her shirt with his scissor mouth, albeit with a small tore in it.

"Thanks," said Sweetie before tugging her shirt away, "but don't save me in a way that could ruin my clothes."

"Sorry," said Tweedlesnip.

Sweetie Belle then went into the forest, eager to complete her quest and find Angel.

Watching her off, Tweedlesnips said, "You think she'll be fine?"

"Hopefully." said Tweedlesnail.
