Chapter 8. I am without a doubt, the biggest, extremist, heaviest, happiest, infinity, epic amount of my usual Little Ms. Sunshine times ten mood than ever to be posting 2 chapters. And on a Monday. That's a big accomplishment for me! So Flora is going to start her little rebellion. What's gonna happen? We won't know for sure until we read!

Flora looked up the night sky happily. It's time. She thought to herself. She finally got to see Sam once again!

She carefully got up and tip-toed, looking on the ground cautious of things that might wake her parents and brothers up. She successfully got out of the cave without making a peep. Except as soon as she walked out, a pair of green, glowing eyes opened, following the female saber's direction.

Flora continued with her stealth mode. She was easily able to get past Sid who was on his rock and Granny who was in her tree considering the fact that both of the sloths are heavy sleepers. The same went for Crash and Eddie who were snoring on their tree with Ellie and Peaches. Flora did however run into some difficulty with Manny. She especially didn't want him up because knowing him, he would definitely tattle on her to her father, and she knew the result in that.

While walking quietly towards Manny, Flora stepped on a twig and saw Manny shaking awake. Gasping, Flora quickly walked behind a log and crouched down.

"Ellie, did you hear that?" asked Manny worriedly.

"Manny, I'm sure it was just your imagination." murmured Ellie only partially awake. "Go back to sleep."

Manny kept trying to convince Ellie that he heard something, but seeing his wife going back to sleep, he gave up and did the same thing.

Flora sighed in relief as she saw Manny go back to sleep. If she didn't want to wake anybody up, she was going to have to be extra sneaky.

Finally! Thought Flora to herself. She was just a few minutes away from her destination. Just as she was about to run to the rock piles...

"Where do you think you're going young lady?" Flora froze and gasped in fear as she recognized that voice.

"Dad, I can explain-" she started only to turn around and see that it was her brother.

"You just earned yourself a lifetime grounding Missy." Cash playfully lectured Flora with his voice deepened like their father's.

"Very funny Cash." Flora frowned sarcastically. "I'm starting to forget how to laugh."

"Come on, you gotta admit that was a little funny." Cash chuckled. "You should have seen the look on your face. You were like 'Daddy, please, I'm so, so sorry! Please don't punish me until I'm elderly!'"

Flora scoffed clearly unamused. And to think that Cash actually matured.

"So where are you off to?" asked Cash changing the subject.

"Nowhere." answered Flora bluntly.

"Nowhere? Nobody sneaks out in the middle of the night to go nowhere. Where are you really going?"

"Like I said, nowhere. I'm just going on a walk to get my mind off things."

"You're off to see guy who got chased away by Dad yesterday. What's his name? Sam?"

Flora gasped. "How did you know?"

"Hey Flora." greeted Sam. "I was worried that you weren't gonna come."

"Are you kidding me?" chuckled Flora. "I would never ditch you!"

Cash cleared his throat.

"Oh Sam, this is my brother Cash."

"Hi." Sam waved his paw at Cash.

"Hey." Cash greeted back.

"Can you just excuse us for one second?" asked Flora, motioning for Cash to follow and for Sam to stay where he is.

"Sure." nodded Sam as the brother and sister walked behind a tree.

"Okay, you caught me." confessed Flora to Cash. "But I really wanted to see Sam again and I knew that Dad wouldn't let me, so I had to sneak out so that know one would know but here you are now and you can't tell anyone. Especially not Dad"

"I won't." promised Cash.

"Cash, please, I'll do anything if you just won't tell-wait. Did you just say you won't?"

"Flora, you're a big girl now. Dad shouldn't control who you hang out with."

"You promise you won't tell?"

"I swear on the grave of Captain Gutt, the physcotic monkey that Mom used to work for, that my lips are sealed."

Flora rubbed her head against her brother's shoulder in gratitude. "Dude, you are, without a doubt, the best brother a girl could ever have. Thank you so much."

"Your welcome." Cash smiled. "Now go play. If anyone realizes that you're gone, I'll cover for you."

"Thanks Cash!"

Cash smiled as his sister ran off.

"All done." said Flora casually walking up to Sam. "So, what do you want to do?"

"I got some ideas." replied Sam walking, with Flora following him. She couldn't wait to see what tonight will bring them.

So how do you think Flora and Sam's hang out will go? It will all be mentioned in the next chapter. I wouldn't call it a date because they only know each other for a day and they're obviously not going to rush it. Unless they're Romeo and Juliet. If you actually read the play, you'll know what I'm talking about. Please review! :D
