"Are you 100% sure you'll be ok?" Sam said, helping his son pack his stuff. "Of course I will, papa! I can survive anything, remember?" Sam jr replied, putting his backpack on. "Okay, just be careful alright..? And make sure to call us if anything goes wrong, and we'll be there in an unrealistically short amount of time!" Sam said. "Yeah yeah, I know daddy." Sam Jr. said, as Sam walked him to the door. Max followed them.
They walked outside as the school bus pulled up in front of their building. Sam wipes a tear from his eye and hugs Sam jr. "oh, my little champion's first school trip..." he kisses his head. Sam jr groans. "Daaad, stooop!" max giggles. Sam pulls back. "Have a wonderful time, ok?" Sam jr nods. "Okay papa!" he runs and gets on the bus, waving to sam. Sam cries happily and waves back. Max waves too.
The bus full of kids, some human, some not, drove for a very long while. They were all going on a field trip down to Florida to study alligators for their science class, and for fun, play golf. (this is a fictional world where they could get there in a few hours flat because I mean have you seen hit the road)
While the bus was moving, Sam jr looked out the window, seeing all the very green trees. The swampland was very murky, and it was like 90% jungle.
When they arrived at their stop, their teacher warned them to stay with the group, or they'd get lost. She then went over the rules (no pushing, no hitting, no biting, things like that.) Sam jr giggled and thought to himself "good thing my step dad isn't here." all the kids got off the bus, Sam jr being the last one. The class followed the teacher.
When they were walking through the swampy jungle, Sam jr's shoe came untied, and he kneeled down to re-tie it. It took him a little while to fix because he wasn't very good at tying knots. But when he finally stood back up, the rest of the class was nowhere to be seen, apparently having accidentally left him behind.
"Guys..?" he calls out. He didn't know which way they'd went, so he started walking forward, calling every so often. But so far, he was getting no answer.
After a bit of wandering around in the jungle, calling Sam jr was struck with a bad realization.
He was lost.
Sam jr wanders through the everglade jungles for a while, still calling "guys?" every so often and looking around. But he couldn't find them in the massive jungle. Eventually he sat down against a tree, starting to cry. "I-i wish papa was here..."
Suddenly, he hears rustling in the bushes, gasping and hiding behind a tree. After a few minutes of rustling, the noise came out of the bushes.
It was a tall alligator man. He looks around and spots Sam jr, walking towards him. "Hey, kid, you're not supposed to be here!" he says. Sam jr whimpers a bit. "I-i k-know... s-sorry..." the gator sighs. "I can see you, there's no need to hide." Sam jr slowly comes out from behind the tree, slowly looking up to him. The gator looks around. "Wasn't there a class of kids around here a few minutes ago?" He looks back at Sam jr. "Are you with them?" Sam jr nods. "I-i was supposed to be..." he wrings his claw-fingers nervously.
The gator kneels down to be at eye level with him . "Did you get lost, kid?" he says. Sam jr nods. "I-i was with the rest of my class, but my shoe came undone! So I bent down to fasten it, but when I looked up, they were gone!" the gator nods. "I see." he gets up, thinking. "Well, I know there's a mini golf course not far from here, your friends are probably headed there.'' Sam jr smiles. "Where is it?" The gator points west. "Keep goin west and then turn right, ya can't miss it." Sam jr smiles. "Thanks!" The gator leans against a tree. "No problem kid."
Sam jr starts to walk off, then suddenly turns around and goes back to him. "Actually, c-could you come with me?" he asks shyly. "I don't wanna get lost again..." the gator rolls his eyes. "Fine..." Sam jr smiles. "Thank you mister!" he says, trudging off again. The gator follows.
