AvM/AvA (ADVENTURE)

TREE CLIMB

Here is Purple and Red's short adventure in the time span of 26 minutes!

Get ready! :)

~~~

Purple and Red happily skipped across the creek, stepping on the slippery stones so that they wouldn't get wet.

Unfortunately, Red dropped into the creek and was shivering afterward, but he kept telling Purple it was okay and it was worth it.

He was able to see the fishies, after all. So it was worth it.

After they passed the creek, they continued through the forest, on the old, dirt path that was made so long ago (how long ago, they didn't know. They didn't bother reading the sign). Red pointed out different animals on the way to Purple, and after every one, they'd stop and stare at the animal in awe.

Especially when they saw the rabbit.

With it's shiny coat of gray fur, the rabbit was just adorable, and Purple and Red just couldn't take their eyes off of it. It stared right back at them, as if wondering who they were. What type of person they were.

Red crouched down so that he could be about the rabbit's height, and he reached into his pocket, bringing out a carrot. Purple stared in surprise -- did Red just keep all kinds of treats in his pockets everyday?

The rabbit cautiously made its way over to them, peering at the both of them suspiciously with it's eyes. It inched closer...closer...

Then it snatched the carrot and sped away. Red stood up, turning to Purple.

"Wild rabbits are always very cautious...especially the grown ups." Red explained as him and Purple started off on the trail once again. Purple nodded, not knowing what to say. After all, Red was the animal expert, not him.

The two continued on in silence, marveling at the sight around them. The trees were humongous, stretching taller than even Mango (Mango's quite tall). After walking around for a bit, Red stopped Purple, a mischievous look on his face.

"We've got about ten minutes." Red said slowly, and Purple watched him curiously and suspiciously. "So..."

Purple folded his arms, still watching Red intently. He waited patiently, watching as Red's expression changed back to one of innocence, flickering with a bit of a mischievous expression. Purple knew that it was just a facade. That the innocence was just a mask to cover Red's troublemaker self.

Finally, Red opened his mouth to continue speaking as he walked toward a particularly tall tree.

"What if I tried to..." He grinned at Purple. "Climb this?"

Purple stared at him in shock, frozen to the spot as he watched Red begin to climb the tree with so much determination and energy that many people around his age wouldn't have. Red climbed branch after branch -- his agility was definitely something worth bragging about.

It wasn't long before Red got to the top, and looked down at Purple triumphantly.

"I made it!" Red called down. His voice sounded quite faint, seeing as he was quite high up, but Purple still heard him okay. But he couldn't seem to find his voice, watching Red sitting up so high on such a thin branch.

"You should get down!" Purple called up to Red. Red didn't seem to hear him as he continued to sit on the tree happily -- in such a blissful state that some of Purple's worries edged away. But he should still try and get Red off that tree.

"RED!" Purple called. Red looked down -- thank god he had heard him. "Get down here!"

Red tilted his head. "Why?"

Purple almost face palmed himself. Why? He called up to Red again. "This is dangerous! Get down!"

Red stuck his tongue out at Purple. "No."

Purple glared at him, folding his arms. "I'm not paying for your medical bills if you fall off that tree because I'm warning you." He said coldly, watching for Red's reaction. To his dismay, Red just shrugged and began to laugh as if what he just said was a joke -- it probably was, but he meant for a different reaction.

Purple sighed. "Then I'm just going on without you."

He started to move. One step away. Two steps away. Three--

The sound of someone landing lightly behind him was heard, and Red's voice rang through the trees in Purple's direction. "Wait! Don't leave me."

Purple fought hard not to laugh as he waited for a panting Red to catch up to him. Once he did so, the two of them set off on the trail once more, having only five minutes left to spare.

By now, the two of them sped along the trail, being careful not to trip or injure themselves on a branch or something. With only one minute left, they arrived at the set location. They were the first ones, and it wasn't long before they saw Second and Green coming toward them, also done with their journey.

Then the four of them waited for Blue and Yellow. They waited. And waited.

2:01. 2:02. 2:03.

What was keeping them?
