Chapter Ten: Hide and Seek Fun
The next day, the baboon siblings and the Lion Guard were still not feeling 100% better, but that didn't stop them from making the best of it. They decided to spend the day playing together, determined to have some fun despite their lingering colds.
They all agreed on a game of hide and seek, with Fuli chosen as the seeker. As the game progressed, Fuli managed to find everyone—except for Bongo, Bobo, and Asha.
Fuli: "Okay, now we just have to find Bongo, Bobo, and Asha." She said, scanning the area,
Ono: "I'll check the trees." He flapped his wings.
Kion: "I'll check the grass." He said, moving towards the tall grass nearby.
Beshte: "I'll check with you, Kion." He added as he followed him.
Bunga: "Come on, Bunga. Let's keep looking for them." She turned to Bunga.
Bunga: "Okay." He replied, his eyes darting around for any sign of the baboon siblings.
Meanwhile, Bongo, Bobo, and Asha were cleverly hidden in a bush not far from Fuli and Bunga's location. They held their breath, trying to stay as quiet as possible.
Suddenly, Bongo felt a sneeze coming on.
Bongo: "Achoo!" He quickly covered his mouth, stifling the sound.
Fuli: "Bunga, I told you not to sneeze on my tail!" She paused, suspicious.
Bunga: "I didn't do it this time!" He threw his hands up in defense.
Bongo: "Phew, that was a close one." He let out a quiet sigh of relief.
But then, Bobo let out a loud burp from their earlier meal.
*BURRRRP*
Fuli: "Bunga!" Her ears perked up, and she shot Bunga a look.
Bunga: "It wasn't me. Although, I do have to say, that was a good burp." He protested, grinning.
Bongo: "Bobo, what was that?" He turned to Bobo, whispering,
Bobo: "Sorry, I mean, we did just have lunch earlier." He shrugged sheepishly.
Bongo: "Okay, but let's try not to make any more noise. We don't want to draw attention to ourselves." He replied.
Bobo: "Right." He agreed.
Asha, however, was struggling to hold back a sneeze.
Asha: "Ahh… Ahh…" She felt the sneeze coming.
Bongo and Bobo quickly covered her mouth, trying to help.
Asha: *baby voice* "Thank you." She said sweetly when the urge passed, and they removed their hands from her mouth.
Bongo and Bobo: "No problem." They both whispered back.
But then, without warning, Asha let out a loud sneeze.
Asha: "Achooo!" She sneezed.
The sneeze echoed across the area, catching Fuli's attention immediately.
Fuli: "That's Asha!" she exclaimed, running toward the sound.
Bunga: "Fuli, wait for me!" He hurried after her.
Fuli: *sniffing* "Hehe, you guys can come out now." She sniffed the air around a nearby bush and smiled.
Bongo: "Aw, man." He sighed.
Bobo: "I guess Asha's sneeze was pretty loud." He shook his head, laughing softly.
Asha: *baby voice* "Sorry." She said, her eyes wide, feeling embarrassed.
Bongo: "It's okay, Asha. You didn't mean to sneeze." He gave her a reassuring smile.
Fuli: "Kion, Ono, Beshte! Game's over, we found them!" She called out to the others.
Ono: "On my way!" His voice came from above.
Kion: "We're coming!" His voice followed.
Soon enough, Kion, Ono, and Beshte arrived at the bush.
Bongo: "Okay, who wants to be the seeker this time?" He said, excited to keep the game going.
Asha jumped up and down, raising her hand.
Asha: *baby voice* "Me, me, me!" She said eagerly.
Bobo: "Okay, Asha, you can be the seeker." He smiled down at her.
Bongo: "Okay, Asha, count to ten." He nodded.
Asha: *baby voice* "One… two… three…" She covered her eyes with her tiny hands and began counting, her voice sweet and determined
As she counted, everyone else scattered to find new hiding spots.
