The next day

Dave and Finny are now walking through a forest still looking for the gathering. Luckily when Dave and Finny moved through a few leaves they see ALL of the animals sitting down on each side of the light brown path.

Dave and Finny: Whoa!

Dave: I think this is it.

Finny: *Stops smiling and looks at the storm clouds* Looks like the flood will be here soon...

Dave: Calm down Finny, they wouldn't make us come all this way without some kind of a plan! *Nervously laughs* Right...?

Finny: -_-

Dave and Finny starts looking around for a good place to sit. Dave finds a spot behind two elephants (I'm sure that the elephants won't poop on Dave and Finny).

Dave: *Sits down behind the elephants with Finny* Good spot.

Finny: *Sees two unusual black cats that had gold markings and small tails (grymps) as the younger one looks at him* Hey.

Younger grymp: *Looks away* Hm...

As a bunch of animals continues to talk, someone is telling them to be quiet. However, they don't...

???: QUIET!!!

Finny: *Gasps in surprise*

Everyone looks at the stone as two gorillas (one male and one female) and a female flamingo walks on it.

Female flamingo: Behold, the king of the animals!

The two gorillas and the flamingo gets out of the way to reveal that the king of the animals is a lion. Everyone is amazed at this as the lion sits down.

Dave: *Quietly talks to Finny* Huh, look at this fellow Finny. Everything *GENTLY pokes Finny's trunk* will be fine!

Lion: I'm afraid I have some terrible news...

Dave: AGH!!! I KNEW IT!!!

Everyone (except Finny): 0-0"

Finny: *Whispers to Dave* Dad, everybody's staring!

Dave: o-o"

Everyone (except Finny): 0-0"

Dave: <:3

Finny: -_-"

Lion: ... But it gives me GREAT hope to see ALL you animals seeing you standing together as one! *Looks at the predator side of the gathering* The flesh eating carnivores!

Everyone (Only the carnivores): *Growls in glee*

Lion: And the vegetarian herbivores...

Everyone (Only the herbivores): *Whimpers in fear*

Lion: It is together we shall stand up against the up coming events. *Clears his throat* You MAY have noticed the weather as been a LITTLE erratic lately and you MAY have certainly asked yourself, "What might happen next?"

Everyone: *Thinks about that question*

Lion: A FLOOD!!!

Dave: AGH!!! *Holds Finny close to him*

Lion: SO GREAT THAT IT SHALL COVER THE EARTH, ENGULFING, AND DESTROYING EVERYTHING IN ITS PATH!!!

The monkeys (The ones that are in the gathering): Oh no!

The song birds and the giraffes: *Gasps*

Lion: THERE SHALL BE NO SURVIVORS!!!

Someone in the gathering: Hey mister! What's that boat-shape-thing behind ya?

Everyone: *Looks at the boat that someone was asking about*

Lion: Oh! Yes yes! I was getting to that point! *Clears his throat* There's WOULDN'T be any survivors if it wasn't for the very nice human called Noah.

Male crocodile: Noah???

Lion: He's building a HUGE ark! A ship to keep us animals safe until the flood has past.

Everyone: *Sighs in amazement*

Dave: I told you they had a plan!

Finny: -_-

Lion: *Thinks* I probably should've started with that... Well! I, the king of the animals has been appointed captain of the ark by Noah himself. He put me in charge ALL animal affairs. *Grabs a list of rules from the flamingo* So! Noah has some rules... First of all, there is a ban on carnivores eating herbivores.

Everyone (only carnivores): WHAT!?

Antelope: *Laughs* I should think so too! >:3

Lion: He seems pretty serious about that... Sadly...

Dave: Hey! Let him go! *Looks at the lion* Uh, excuse me!

Lion: Yes...?

Dave: Does that ban start now or when we board the ship?

Lion: *Looks at the list* The ban starts now.

Dave: *Looks at the tiger that was about to eat Finny* See? I told you!

Female tiger: *Sighs in disappointment and drops Finny on the ground next to Dave*

Dave: Aaaand?

Female tiger: *Sighs in disappointment before pulling a perri dog out of her throat*

Perri dog: Oh my! >_<"

Lion: ... And finally ALL animals are welcome on the ark!

Everyone: *Cheers*

Dave: Yes! *Happily hugs Finny*

Lion: ... As long as you're on Noah's list.

Everyone: HUH!?

Lion: See you tomorrow at the check in! *Leaves*

Dave and Finny: List? What list?
