Puss in Boots and his new friends!

Chapter 7: In the forest and Paradise Beach

When the friends were on their way to Paradise beach to stay for their vacation around Moana's birthday celebration, Roddy, Rita, and their children get stuck in a forest, Puss and the others have to think of something before the party starts.
--------------------
One Friday night, friends were getting ready to go to the beach for a vacation to celebrate their friend, Moana's birthday. "Alright, has everyone got a present for Moana?" Puss asked before his friends held up their birthday presents for Moana.

"Yes!" They all said.

"Do you think maybe she'll love my mermaid present I made for her so she can match with Ariel?" Private asked, walking up to Bolt, holding up a crocheted scarlet colored mermaid costume, getting the towels ready.

Bolt looked at it, nodding with a smile. "I think she'll love it, Private. Even Ariel." He said.

"Bolt, you got all the beach towels ready?" Puss asked.

"Got that taken care of, Puss." Bolt said, before Puss turned to Roddy and Rita.

"Alright, Roddy, Rita, all swimwear ready?"

"Packed and ready to go." Rita said, closing a suitcase full of different sized swimsuits.

"Including floatation items like the kids' water wings, too." Roddy said.

"Good thinking, Roddy. Safety first as usual." Puss said before turning to Remy. "How's that birthday cake coming along, Remy?"

"Just finished icing it up and got it packed." Remy said, holding the cake box.

"That's good. I'm glad to hear about it. Everyone, make sure you get your phones ready for pictures and videos there. So don't forget your chargers."

"All set." Marty said.

"Now is there anyone who wants to sing the birthday song to Moana?" Puss asked.

"I thought it was gonna be the princesses' jobs to do it." Kitty said.

"Or what about Buster Moon's friends and crew?" Crane asked.

And Mumble's wife and son: Gloria and Erik?" Remy asked.

"Well, Buster's crew will be busy, and Gloria, has a cold along with Erik, having a sore throat, I'm afraid. So they're staying here so they can get better. Sorry, you and your clan couldn't come, Mumble." Puss said, turning to Mumble.

"That's okay, Puss, there's always next time. Plus, the beach can be too hot for us." Mumble said.

"And I know you're not the kind of penguins that enjoy heat like the other kind of penguins here." Tigress said, turning to the Madagascar penguins.

"It's like we're immune to so much heat." Skipper said, feeling proud.

"I don't think that's possibly true." Alex said.

"Yeah, I mean, our Gloria can take heat pretty well, despite that she's a hippo, but she still gets hot now and then." Marty said.

"That's true. I have to stay in shade so I can cool down or I can take a dip in the water, too." Gloria nodded.

"Anyways, the Princesses would love to do it, but they want one of us to sing it for her. Whether you're boy or girl." Puss said.
