T21: The Tree-House.

Out in the woods, inside the tree-house with a rope/wood bridge leading to the front door, a banister around it, and windows, Will was knelt down on his right knee in front of Todd, offering the kit one of the green grapes out of the paper bowl he was holding. He held the bowl in his left hand and the grape in his right hand.

"Hello, Todd, Happy almost Thanksgiving." Will said playfully. "Yes. Yes, and i've got a bowl of good grapes right here fresh out of the refridgerator. Would you like one?"

"Hehehehe." Todd squeaked.

"Yes? Okay. Here you go." Will said.

Todd quickly devoured the grape Will had offered to him. "Hehehehe." The fox kit squeaked, asking for another one.

"You want another one? Okay. Comin' right up." Will said before getting another grape out of the bowl with his right hand.

Cameron, Leo and Rocco stormed inside the tree-house through the front door, with Mickey following them, followed by Cameron slamming the door shut. The kids and the pup saw Will kneeling down on his right knee, sharing his bowl of grapes with Todd.

"What do you think you are doing?!" Cameron scolded as he and the others made their way toward Will and Todd.

Will and Todd looked at Cameron, Leo, Rocco and Mickey as they stormed towards them.

"Hi, you guys." Will said as he stood up, with Todd turning to face the three boys and the Dalmatian puppy.

Cameron, Leo, Rocco and Mickey walked up to Will and Todd.

"Oh, don't "Hi" us! Where do you get off coming into our house un-announced and stealing our food?!" Cameron said.

"Good morning to you too." Will said. "Grape?" He said, offering the grape in his right hand.

"Don't change the subject! Who do you think you are coming into our house un-announced like that?!" Cameron said.

"I'll take that as a "No"." Will said before putting the grape in his mouth and eating it.

"Will! You cannot come into our house sneaking food without letting us know about it!" Leo said.

"Yeah! Next time check with us first before you decide to go sneaking around our home for something!" Rocco added.

"'SORRY'. I'll make sure to contact you guys first the next time i run out of snacks and Todd and i get hungry, even though i have no way of doing that."

"Please." Cameron said.

"What about next time?" Leo asked.

"There won't be a next time." Will said.

"Oh, is that right?" Leo asked.

"That's right." Will answered.

"May i ask why?" Leo asked.

"Well, i-"

"Excuse me, Will? May i ask a question?" Rocco asked, cutting Will off.

"Go right ahead." Will said.

"What is your end-game in all of this? I mean, do you even have a solution to this problem? You can't hide out here in the woods or keep running forever. You must know that." Rocco said.

"I don't have to hide out here in the woods or keep running forever. And i don't plan on it either." Will said.

"What does that mean?" Cameron asked.

"That's for me and Todd to know and for you to never find out." Will said.

"Okay. You're entitled to your privacy." Cameron said.

"Thank you." Will said.

"So, uh...are you still offering grapes?" Leo asked.

"Sure." Will said.

"Can i have one too?" Rocco asked.

"Me too." Cameron said.

Mickey barked, asking for a grape as well.

Will handed Leo and Rocco each a grape and gave Cameron two. One for him and the one for Mickey.
