Summer has passed and our heroes are now entering the brisk season of fall.
Basil and Ratigan were playing chest as Lily was in the kitchen while Isabelle was outside raking the leaves, listening to her I-pod.
Lily came in with a cup of coffee and looked at the two rodents playing.
"Who's winning?" she piped up.
"I believe I am." Ratigan said as he moved a piece, grinning at Basil. The mouse just stared at the board and then with a perk of his ears, moved a piece and took Ratigan's king.
"Checkmate."
Ratigan looked surprised and then growled. Lily chuckled as she took a sip of her coffee, glancing outside. She suddenly choked and spat out her coffee. She coughed as she pounded the wall while the boys looked at her in bemusement.
"B-B-Bear!" she coughed out, pointing outside.
The men stood up and looked outside and sure enough, there was a bear entering the backyard. They then looked to Isabelle, who was till raking, oblivious to her surrounding due to her I-pod.
The three started screaming and waving their arms at Isabelle to get her attention. When she saw them, she made a "what?" gesture and they pointed to the side, making her look. When she saw the bear, her eyes widened as she dropped the rake and ran full speed to the house. Lily opened the screen doors before Isabelle went through it; Isabelle then went flying in, throwing herself inside.
As Lily closed the door, they all looked at Isabelle in amusement, who was breathing heavily on the floor.
"You ok, Izzy?" Lily asked as she looked down at her friend.
"Not really. I think my whole life flashed before my eyes." She gasped out, "I saw Canada!"
The group then started to laugh, not noticing the bear leaving the backyard.
AN: It falls now in the story line!
Ratigan, you shouldn't be so cocky!
The group live in the suburbs of New Jersey, so running into a bear is very likely. They say you either supposed to stay still or go up a tree if you run into a bear. Screw that! I will be running!
Anyway, enjoy and comments are loved! I don't own GMD, just Isabelle and Lily!
