After a Few Minutes of being in the Forest,Liam,Chase,Skye,Zuma and Rocky found Themselves,In the Middle of the Thunderstorm.
The Five were Walking,Through the Forest,as It was,Now,Raining on the Island.
"Rubble! Rubble!" Liam called Out as He walked,Through the Forest,Looking for Him.
"You Know,I thought,We were supposed to be, Wooking for Shelter,Not Wubble," Zuma pointed Out.
"Zuma," Skye called,Scolded,Firmly.
"He's got a Point,Skye," Chase warned.
"Chase,Not You,Too," Skye complained,Not believing,What She was Hearing.
"Think about It,Skye,I Understand,We need to find Rubble,I want to,Just as Much as You do,But,We won't be any Help,If We catch Hypothermia with It," Chase explained,Explaining his Reasons,For Why,He was saying It.
Skye Sighed,Disappointedly,Realizing,That,He was Right.
"What do You Think,Wocky?" Zuma asked,Rocky,Asking for his Opinion.
"Unfortunately,You Guys are Right,But,Who's gonna tell Liam?" Rocky responded,Pointing Out,Who was gonna tell Liam,About It.
"I'll do It," Chase announced,Choosing Himself,To tell Him.
"Good Wuck,Chase," Zuma wished,Wishing Chase,Good Luck,On Telling Him about It.
Chase nodded as He Smiled at Zuma,Before,Walking over to Liam.
"Rubble! Rubble! Where are You?" Liam wondered as He continued to Look,Around for Him.
Chase bit the Bottom of Liam's Pant Leg,To stop Him,From going Any Further.
Liam stopped,Feeling the Tug on his Pant Leg as He turned Around,To See Chase,There.
"What is It,Chase?" Liam questioned.
"Liam,We need to find Shelter," Chase suggested,Politely.
"Not until,We find Rubble," Liam disagreed,About to turn Around,Again,Before,Chase stopped Him,Once Again.
"Liam,It's Raining,Pretty Hard,Out Here,We're All tired,And,Cold,And Wet,We need to resume This,In the Morning," Chase eludicated.
"No,We need to find Him," Liam insisted.
"Not Tonight," Chase retorted,Starting to get Irritated.
"Yeah,Tonight,I-I need to find Him,Tonight," Liam shot Back,Starting to get Irritated,As well.
"Liam,We're not the Only Ones Tired,You're Tired,Too,I can see It,In Your Eyes," Chase shouted,Worriedly.
"No,I'm not,We'll,We'll keep Going," Liam persisted.
"We need to find Camp!!!!!!" Chase yelled.
"No,We need to keep Searching for Rubble," Liam disagreed.
"Oh Dear," Zuma whispered as He watched the Two fight,Not liking It.
"Liam,This isn't You,The You,I know,Would Care More about the Pups,He has,Then,The One,He's Lost,The One,Who isn't letting his Guilt for One Pup,Eat Him Up," Chase yelled Out.
"Don't You get It,I'm not My Brother,I'm not,I'm not Perfect in Everything,I don't,Always Know,What to do,I don't lead These Types of Missions,And,I,Sure as Heck,Haven't lost a Pup,Before,If You're,So Worried about finding Camp,Then,Go find It,Yourself" Liam lashed Out,Angrily.
"I won't,If You're not coming with Us," Chase stated.
"Well,Too Bad,Cause,I'm not Coming," Liam notified as He went,Storming Off,In a Random Direction.
"Fine," Chase agreed,Furiously.
"Fine," Liam repeated,Frustratedly,as He continued to Walk Away,From Them.
"Come On,Guys," Chase ordered,Firmly,as He started going Off,In the Opposite Direction,With his Head,Lowered.
Skye,Seeing,How Upset,He was,Went to Follow Him,With Zuma following,Close Behind Her.
Rocky,Not Wanting Liam,To be by Himself,Went with Him,Instead of the Others.
The Team was Splitting Up,Even Though,They were not Supposed To.
Liam and Rocky went Deeper,Into the Forest,Looking for Rubble,While,Chase,Zuma and Skye headed,To find Camp.
Liam,Now,Having a Jacket On,Walked Forward into the Forest,While,It continued to Rain.
"Rubble! Rubble! Where are You?" Liam continued to Call Out,Shouting as Long as Could,So,Rubble could hear Him.
"Rubble!" Rocky,Also,Called.
Liam Sighed as He,Still,Heard No Answer.
"Maybe,Chase was Right," Liam mentioned,as He wiped his Bangs,Away from his Eyes.
"Yes,Maybe," Rocky added,Casually,as He shook,Some of the Excess Water off his Fur.
"Come On,We better join Up,With Them,And,Find Camp," Liam suggested.
"Yeah,We better,Cause,For All We know,That,Something,That,Spooked the Spider could be the Thing,That,Took Rubble," Rocky voiced.
"Alright,Let's Go,Meet Up with the Others," Liam ordered as Him and Rocky turned Around,And,Started to head Back,Towards Chase,Zuma and Skye's Direction.
However.
What The Two didn't Know was,That,The Same Thing,That had been watching Rocky,Earlier,Was Watching the Both of Them,Now.
It watched Them,From One of the Trees,Looking Down at Them,In It's Infrared Sight.
The Thing Snarled as It,Slowly,Watched the Other Two Leave.
The Thing Growled,Quietly,Before,Climbing Down,To Follow Them.
Meanwhile.
Chase,Skye and Zuma were,Still,Looking for a Place,To Stop for Camp.
Chase was,In the Lead,With his Head,Lowered Down.
Skye ran,Over to Him,Trying to Catch Up to Him,Once She did,She slowed Down,And,Started to Walk at his Pace,Walking by his Side.
"Hey," Skye whispered.
"Hey," Chase replied.
"You doing Okay?" Skye asked.
"No,Skye,I'm Not," Chase answered.
"I figured,It's,Kinda Showing," Skye informed.
"Then,Why did You Ask?" Chase wondered.
"So,You could tell Me,What was Wrong," Skye pointed Out.
"Pfft,I think,You heard,What is making Me Upset," Chase retorted.
"Yeah,But,Maybe,I wanna hear It,From your Perspective," Skye commented,as She moved Her Shoulders,Flirtatiously.
Chase Chuckled,Slightly,as He decided to tell Her.
"It's,Just,Liam seems,So Focused,On the Fact,That,He lost Rubble,That,He isn't Thinking,Or,Taking Care of Himself,Or Us," Chase explained.
"Mmhm,Go On," Skye requested,Politely.
"I know Him,I know,How He works,But,The Liam,I'm seeing,Now,Is Not the One,I remember," Chase continued.
While,The Two were Talking,Zuma was Following Them,From Behind,Watching Them,Be Together,And,Talk.
Zuma Growled,In Jealousy,as He continued to watch It.
Chase was getting,All the Attention,At the Moment,And,It wasn't Fair.
"He,Just needs to Focus On the Problem,At Hand,Not stay Focused,On the Past Mistake,He made,Otherwise,We're All gonna get killed,And,It hurts Me,To See Him,This Way,He looks,So Tired,But,He refuses to set Up Camp,He,Just wants to keep Looking," Chase eludicated,Frustratedly.
"Chase,You did Everything,You could,You tried Nice,Firm and Gruff,And,None of Them worked,There's Nothing Else,You can do,You can't make Him listen,You tried,And,That is All,That Matters," Skye reassured,as She put Her Paw,On his Shoulder.
When Skye did That,Chase turned to Her,And,Smiled.
"Skye,I-I l-love,I love,The Way,You Always make Me feel Better," Chase stuttered,Attempting to tell Her,That,He loved Her,But,Failed To,And,Changed the Subject.
Zuma's Mouth gaped Open,Knowing,Exactly,What Chase was,Trying to Say.
"Oh,No,He doesn't,I liked Her,First," Zuma muttered,as He ran,Over to Them,To make Sure,Nothing Else Happened.
"Well,Uh,Thanks,Chase," Skye thanked,In a Weirded Out Tone,In Her Head,Wondering,Why He was Stuttering,So Much,To Say It.
"Your,Uh,Welcome,Skye," Chase responded,Nervously.
Skye Smiled as She walked,Ahead of Both Boys,Taking the Lead,In Finding a Camp.
Chase,Seeing,That,He missed his Chance,Hit his Paw,On his Face,In Irritation.
"Stupid Chase,Stupid,You had a Chance," Chase complained to Himself,Hitting Himself in the Face,Repeatedly,In Regret.
"Let Me Guess,Still,Didn't tell her," Liam guessed,Coming Out of the Bushes,With Rocky,In hid Arms,And,A Smile on his Face.
Chase,For a Minute,Smiled,Before,Remembering,What Happened,And,Turning Away.
"What are You doing Here?" Chase murmured,Asking Him,The Question,as He didn't,Even,Look at Him.
"Long Story Short,You were Right," Liam admitted.
"And,What made You change your Mind?" Chase questioned.
"Actually,Thinking about It,Look,I know,I was a Jerk,And,I should have thought Things,Through," Liam explained.
"You bet,You should have thought Things,Through," Chase scolded.
"But,I am Sorry,For Everything,I was a Total Idiot," Liam continued to admit.
"Yeah,You were," Chase added,Still,Not looking at Him.
"Could You forgive Me,Chase?" Liam asked.
Chase stopped,Looking Away,From Him,And,Turned to look at Him as He saw Liam,There,On his Knees,In Front of Him.
"Oh,Alright,I forgive You," Chase accepted,Accepting Liam's Apology,And,Forgiving Him.
"Congrats,Boys,You have,Officially Forgiven Each Other," Skye announced,From,In Front of Them.
The Two turned to the Direction of Her Voice,as They saw Her,There,Smiling at Them.
"I'm Sorry,Too,I did say Some Mean Things,As Well," Chase mentioned.
"Pfft,Don't Worry about It," Liam reassured,Shrugging,Carefreely,Letting It Go.
That was When.
The Thing,Following Them,Let Out a Large Shriek,as It echoed,Through the Forest.
Chase,Liam,Skye and Zuma's Comfort went Away,When They heard That.
"What was That?" Zuma wondered.
"I don't Know,But,I don't want to find Out," Liam stated.
"Come On,We need to find Shelter," Rocky commanded.
"And,Fast," Chase finished.
As All Five of Them started to Run,Running Away,From Whatever the Thing,Following Them was.
They needed to find Shelter,And,Fast,Chase thought.
Or Else,That Thing would catch Up,And,Kill Them.
