The large rock was getting closer to the small group. So much debris has been created along the way. But there are some. Crash and Eddie had climbed to two trees from the nearest place where the large rock wall could break though.
"Wait for it. Wait for it," Crash repeated.
The large rock pushed the trees causing the possum brothers to start falling. Laughing all the way, they plunged to the ground right next to Louis. Louis jolted back and saw the possum's face planted onto the ground. They got back up onto their feet and high five.
"That was awesome."
"Can I ask you guys something?"Loouis asked, who doesn't understand why the possums are totally cheerful. "How are you both so happy? Doesn't it weigh on you that the world might be ending?"
"Can I tell him our secret?" Crash asked to Eddie. In response, his brother nodded his head. "Come here. Come here. We're very, very stupid."
There was silence on the male molehog. "But, still, you're not a teensy bit concerned about... I don't know, say, imminent death?" The only response Crash gave was a honk on Louis' nose. "I'm going to go find Peaches."
Peaches and the other mammoths had split away to find something cool to enter. They count a nearby cave flipped upside down and begin to enter it.
"Guys, over here. Come on, it's a shortcut. You're going to love this," Ethan called out.
"Come on, girls, let's have some fun," Lyra giggled.
Once they enter, Peaches was amazed to see vines growing on the ceiling.
"This is so cool," said Lyra.
"It's like we're upside down. That is amazing," Steffie replied.
"Too bad your molehog friend isn't here, huh?"
"You're not really friends with him, are you?" Ethan asked.
"Yeah, come clean, Peaches," Lyra insisted.
"Are you friends with that awkward little rodent or not?" Steffie asked.
Peaches hesitated adn then tried to act cool. "I mean... Louis and I, we've hung out or whatever. But, no, we're not really friends-friends."
"Not friends?"
Peaches turned and saw Louis who had dug down the cave after hearing the mammoths. He had overheard them from the surface and came down here and was completely shocked to see his friend joining he other teens.
Peaches became totally hurt. "Louis! I..."
"Good to know," Lowering his head, Louis walked away.
"Louis, wait."
But Louis already left, digging underground before hitting a rock and scurried off.
"He even runs away like a loser," Steffie scoffed.
Ethan looked over at Peaches who sadly watched her friend leave. "Whoa, Peaches, don't stress. You're with us now."
"Yeah, stress is so stressful," said Lyra.
"Yeah, girl," Steffie agreed. "if you're going to stress about something, stress about your hair."
"I know, right? This humidity, I can't stand it," said Lyra.
Suddenly, the roof of the cave started to crumble. Peaches looked up, sensing something was gonna happen.
"Uh.. Guys, we should get out of here," Peaches murmured, worried.
