Gidget woke up on the shore of a sandy beach, Cop was right next to her. She got up and nudged him with her nose, he opened his eyes a crack, then closed them, falling asleep. A dark shape surfaced, the crocodile slowly came out. Gidget growled, and got to her feet.

"I come in peace" he said, backing back into the lake.

"Why did you attack us" Gidget growled. "Don't you know I'm having pups?"

"Pups?" he asked, "TWIG!"

A few minutes later, a small beaver kit came running over. "Yes, sir?" it asked

"Hello, Twig, go get your parents, alright?" the crocodile said.

"Yes, sir" the beaver kit scampered off into the woods.

"It might take a while, while we do that, let's talk" the crocodile lay down in the sun, keeping his blood warm.

"I want to know why you tried to kill us if you come in peace"  Gidget bared her fangs at him.

"Alright, first of all, I wasn't trying to kill you, I was trying to help you, I saved you"

"We can swim!"

"Not like a crocodile, anyway, you guys were panicking, you could've died!"

Cop mumbled something in his sleep, then turned over. 

"Here, dad, Caiman wants you" Twig, the beaver kit came over, two bigger beavers came from behind him.

"Hey, Timber, and oh, hello Pine" the crocodile, Caiman said "about that den, in the clearing near your pond"

"Oh, that den, yeah, new animals for the forest?" the male beaver said, "these wolves I might guess?"

"Yes, Pine, Twig, grab some leaves, Timber, lead us to that den"

"Yes sir" the three beavers said in unison.

Caiman leaned over and slid Cop on his back "lead the way".
