Inner Animal

Chapter Six: Team Buttholes

Brandon woke up from his, who knows how long, nap. The room around him changed though. The once pale white peeling walls were now painted to look like a forest. His once broken bed was now fixed and had bright blue covers on the bed along with white pillows. The carpet was brown and there was bushes although out the room. Brandon simile at the fact that Jakob got the note. There was another note on the bed that asked him to go outside to the backcourt garden as soon as he woke up.
So Brandon got up and open the door and walked out of the room then closed the door behind him. He walked down the hallway and down the spiral stairs. He found a big green glass door. He open the door and walked out to the garden.
Jakob saw him and a big grin grew on his face. Along with him was a small female tiger with blonde hair, a chubby toad, a very small coyote, another coyote who was taller then the first one, another coyote who was taller then the second coyote, another coyote who was as tall as the third one but had orangish red fur, and a tall rat with a red hat atop of his head.
"Hey Brandon, I got a surprise for you!" Jakob said happily.
"What is it and why are all these people here?" Brandon asked confused.
"These people are your new teammates," Jakob said rather proud of himself,"I thought if I could get a special team to do special missions. Then I don't have to walk into danger!" He said very happy of his plan.
Brandon just gave him a stare then walked on over to the orange coyote.
"Hello, my name is Brandon," he said putting his hand out for an hand shake.
"Hey, my name is Kevin," the orange coyote said shaking Brandon's hand," the tall coyote is Jason."
"Sup," he said nodding his head.
"The medium coyote is Andrew."
"How you do?" He asked shaking Brandon's hand.
"And finally, the shortest coyote in are pack is Aron." Kevin said snickering.
"Hey I'm not that short!" The coyote, who was just a little shorter then him, yelled.
Brandon just laughed as he walked up to the tall rat who was spinning his hat on his tail.
"What's your name?" Brandon asked holding his hand out again.
"Colton," the rat said shaking his hand,"yours?"
"Brandon."
"Nice, nice."
Brandon walked up to the toad.
"Hello my name his Brandon."
"Nice to meet you I'm Hayden," the very excited toad said jumping up and down. He seemed very young.
Brandon finally goes up to the only female there. He gentle put his hand out in front of him. He has never seen a tiger before. He took a deep breath then began to open his mouth.
"What's your name?" He asked nervously.
"Who wants to know?" The tiger said a little frustrated.
"Um...your new teammate," Brandon said, not knowing what to say to that.
She just rolled her eyes and turn her back to him. Brandon pretty sure getting the message that she hates him, just walked away towards Jakob.
"Guess what, I got you guys your first mission," Jakob said excitedly.
Everyone, except the tiger, gathered around to see what their mission was.
"What is it, what is it!?" Hayden screamed like a child.
"Yeah, what is it?" Jason asked pointing at Jakob.
"Well, Eli the sloth had a very important thing to tell me, but it's been weeks since he send me a letter and I'm getting worried. So I need you guys to go to corkscrew canyon and see if he is okay."
"Got it, when are we leaving?" Colton asked dropping his hat.
"Before sun rise. We will meet here. Understand?" Jakob asked making sure everyone was on board.
"Alright see you guys there!" Hayden yelled as he ran to his house.
"Moron," the tiger groan as she walked back to her house.
Everyone went back to their homes except for Jakob and Brandon saying that the castle was their home.
"See you tomorrow," Jakob said patting Brandon on the back.
"You too," Brandon said back as Jakob walked his away towards town.
----------------------------------------------
It was dark and Brandon was laying in his bed. He couldn't sleep. He was just to excited for tomorrow. His first mission with brand new people. Brandon fist bump the air. They all seem nice, except that tiger girl. She seems really mean.
Then he felt something next to him on his bed. He turn his head and jumped at what he saw. It was Heaven, of all people her sister is in his bed with him.
"Hey, Brandon"
"Hey Heaven, what are you doing here," Brandon said tired and really confuse.
"Well I decided that I should wish my brother slash guardian, good luck on his first mission since he will be gone when I wake up."
"Thank you Heaven, that means a lot."
"So, what's your new team like?"
"Um...can I tell you later?"
"Why?"
"Because we're in the same bed."
"So we sleep together before."
"Yeah, but that was under a tree not in the same bed. Besides I'm not wearing a shirt."
"So, your wearing sweatpants."
"And that's it."
Heaven finally getting why his brother was so uncomfortable. She got up, wished him good luck, and left his room.
Brandon sighed. Glad she left. He was getting really uncomfortable there for a moment. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.
----------------------------------------------
Brandon got up with the sun glaring at his eyes. He covered his eyes with his hand, but fell over one of his shoes. He groaned as he got up and got dressed. He walked over to the garden to see a unhappy Jakob tapping his foot.
"Your late." He snarled at him
"According to your book, but I'm early in my book."
Jakob just turn around. Knowing his girlfriend would be upset if he punch her brother. He just mumbled something then walked towards a pile of backpacks.
"These are your guy's supplies, take care," and with that he left.
"Well, let's go," Kevin said picking up one of the backpacks.
"Hold on we need a team name," Colton said throwing his hat in the air.
"Well guys are all annoying, so, why not team buttholes", the tiger said sarcastically. Giggling to herself.
"That's perfect!" Aron screamed
"Hey, I like that," Jason said agreeing with Aron.
"Hey that's is good!" Colton screamed dropping his hat again.
Everyone except the tiger agreed with that name.
"No I was just...ugh," she said rolling her eyes and and put her head in her hands.
It was going to be along trip.
----------------------------------------------
Garret the toad ran from Aron. Well more like hopped from him, but either away he's trying to get away from Aron. Aron swopped in and tackled him to the ground. Garret was pinned to the ground. Aron chuckled as he put his talon near Garret's heart.
"No, please!" Garret screamed.
"Sorry," he pushes his talon deeper into his Garret's body,"but your part of the plan," and with that Aron stab Garret in the heart and flew off to find the second to last piece of the puzzle.
