I had another snow day today so I decided to upload! And this day is pretty much gonna be a blast of new fanfics and updates so BRACE YOURSELVES!
Raz just laid down on her bed and sulked. She still couldn't believe it! She woke up and her parents just randomly decided to relocate?
"It's not fair!" pouted the little joey. "I like it here, mummy and daddy like it here and Bryce likes it here. I don't see why we have to move. I don't care if it's only for a little bit. IT'S STILL NOT…"
Raz's thoughts were interrupted by a soft tapping. She turned to see Bryce standing at the entrance of her room.
"You're not mad at me, are you sheila?" asked Bryce.
"Nah." Raz shook her head. "You didn't do anything. You're not the one who said we're moving again."
"Hey you can't blame Mum and Dad for it, you know it wasn't their choice either, but just think about it. When was the last time you guys got to go to your hideout to play pirate?"
Raz thought about it. "In the fall. But that was ages ago!" it was true. The main entrance for the cave was blocked out by a snow blanket the size of palm trees. The crew kept trying to shovel it out but considering how little progress they were making, they decided to give up on it and just call it a day.
"And remember how we tried going ice skating but Mum wouldn't let us? How come we couldn't go?"
"Because it was WAY too cold." recalled Raz. One step outside and the two were nearly frozen.
"And just how long ago has it been since we ate any eucalyptus, apples or any of those other goodies?"
Raz thought back to it and gasped at the realization. "I don't remember!"
"You see? The winter has really brought us some pretty tough conditions where we can't play, or eat the good food or do any of the stuff we usually do. That's why we have to go somewhere warmer. Do you understand now?"
"Mm hmm." nodded Raz.
"And we're not leaving forever right? Just think of it as a vacation."
"But I don't want to leave my friends behind." the little kangaroo added in with a sniffle. "I don't wanna make them mad."
"You know what?" asked Bryce gently. "When I told my friends about it, they took it pretty well. They understood and said that they'd be waiting for me. And you know what? Turns out a lot of them are also joining the migration."
"Really?" squeaked Raz as she wiped her nose. "Do you think my friends will be comin' with us too?"
"There's only one way to find out." Bryce reminded his sister. "Though it's pretty dangerous for you to go out by yourself. I'll come with you."
Eventually after receiving permission from their parents on the condition that they take the safe short cut and fluff out their fur to be warmer, Raz and Bryce proceeded to go on their trip. Considering how the wind was windy enough to blow away a little kangaroo, Bryce carried Raz. Their intention was to stop at Squint's burrow since it was close by but after Bryce heard someone call his and Raz's name, he turned to see a pair of eyes peeking out of a small gap between a stone.
Bryce bent down to see Harry's blue eyes.
"Hey boys, you hiding from the cold?" asked Bryce.
"Yeah. It was Flynn's idea!" Squint proclaimed.
Flynn then opened the stone door and Bryce gently lowered Raz inside. Squint even offered Bryce a place in the warmth which he gratefully accepted. Everyone circled around the fire that Gupta made.
"Guys, I have some bad news." Raz whispered.
"What is it?" asked Flynn.
Raz gulped. "I just found out from my parents that, that, we're migrating!"
For some reason, no one seemed to alarmed. There was a short awkward silence until Squint spoke up.
"You know, Rachel told me that my mom told her that because of little food and predator, we're migrating too!"
"So are we!" cried Gupta.
"The water is getting way too freezing for us to swim in and we don't have fur so we're gonna mi'rate too!" Gupta added in.
"We don't have enough food for us so we're going too!"
Raz gasped as Bryce shot her a playful "I told you so." look. She feared about leaving her good friends and family behind, when really, she was worried for nothing!
"DOG PILE!" everyone shouted as they tackled and stacked each other against another.
I was so wrong. thought Raz. Migrating is gonna be pretty fun!
Aw so turns out the whole crew is coming along too! :D :D :D :D Now it won't be as bad as Raz thought it would be. How would migration play out for the next chapter? Wait and see! :D
