Chapter 3
The two Loud Brothers couldn't believe their eyes, inside the metal case was an orange Irise glass snake eye with purple lines around the pupil. But what is most shocking of all is what the two can see inside the pupil: Shane, Luna, and the Moon-Goats going on their hike. How is this possible? Well, let's leave the explanation to Lynn Sr. and Lance, who start to read the description plate on the inner top of the case.
Lynn Sr.: "The All-Seeing-Eye…this little marble can show its users any event. Past, present, future, and anywhere in the universe."
Lance: "However...it can only show you glimpses of these events. It's up to YOU to decide what to do with the information you are given."
Lynn (With a big smile): "This is the answer to our problem, Lance. With the All-Seeing-Eye we can keep a close…" (Winks): "…eye…on our kids, no matter where in the woods they'll go."
Lance is not sure of this though. But before he could say anything, another image appeared in the eye: Sam was about to eat a berry from a wild berry bush while the rest of the Moon-Goats and Shane watched. This causes the brothers to panickedly run out of their secret summer hide-out to secretly save the kids from being food poisoned. Speaking of which, the kids soon reached the wild berry bush and Mazzy is immediately intrigued by them.
Mazzy (About to pick one): "Ooo…These berries are a nice shade of red."
Sully: "Hold on Mazzy."
He takes out and starts to look through a book.
Sully: "My old wilderness survival guide should tell us what kind of berries these are. And if they are safe to eat or not."
However, something crashed into a nearby bush getting the attention of the group. When they turn back to the berries, they are surprised to see that they have changed color from red to blue.
Sam: "They look like Blueberries…Smells like a blueberry"
Sam says as she picks a berry and gives it a sniff right before she plops it in her mouth.
Luna: "Sam, no!"
Sam (Swallows): "Gulp! They are blueberries."
Sully (With a raised brow): "But my guide says there supposed to be poisonous throne berries on this bush." (Turns the page): "And blueberries don't grow in this part of the woods."
But Mazzy doesn't seem to care as she grabs her friend's hand and guides him further into the woods with Sam, Luna, and Shane slowly following. Inside the bush, Lance and Lynn Sr. are wiping the throne berries away from them before clumsily climbing out with an empty blueberry container and a roll of tape. The next stop on the hike is the river that leads up to the lake at Camp Mastodon.
Luna (Dips her foot in the water): "Looks like we're going to have to barefoot it across dudes. Unless some of you brought your galoshes with you, I sure didn't."
However, as Sam and Sully take off and start to look through their backpacks, a tree from behind falls down, creating a bridge between the two sides of the river. Allowing the group with their arms stretch out for balance to slowly walk across.
Shane: "Wait…isn't that a beehive?!"
He points to said beehive that is halfway submerged in the water, while barely still attached to the tree via a branch.
Sam (With a smile): "Don't worry, most of the bees should have evacuated from the hive before the tree hit the water."
Mazzy (With a frown): "Poor little dudes…they must be pretty upset to lose their home."
More like furious Mazzy…very furious actually, as the tree was cut down by Lance with an axe that he had in the back of his truck. Now he and Lynn Sr. are being chased by an angry unforgiving swarm of bees.
Lynn Sr.: "Next…huff…time if you cut a tree… PLEASE…make sure nothing lives in it."
Lance: "What I was supposed to do? The kids were about to cross a river without protection."
The bees don't seem to care though, as they direct their stringers toward the two, ready to give them the stinging of a lifetime, with the leader of the swarm getting closer and closer with each wing flap. Lucky for the brothers, they were able to give the bees the slip as they jumped into the river.
Lynn Sr.: "Okay…what's next?"
After spewing out some water, Lynn Sr. takes out the All-Seeing-Eye from his wet pants pocket with Lance back-stroking next to him to see what they have to do next.
