*Wolf is coming through the jungle in the middle of the night when she hears uproarious laughter coming from the direction of the gang's camp. Cocking her head to the side and pricking her ears, she silently stalks up to the campfire as Bev tells this outlandish story to the gang while roasting marshmallows.*
Hmm, that's not how I remembered it...
Here's the REAL story - I was trotting along the trail minding my own business when I pick up the scent of these headhunters following Theo. So, I head off after them to give them what for and suddenly I hear this wildcat snarl above my head. There's this ENORMOUS jaguar perched in the palm tree above me. She had her ears flattened to her skull and was hissing at me something terrible. I asked, "What's up with YOU?!" She said, "That's MY dinner you're after." I said, "Well, your dinner is about to turn my friend into their dinner. Come help me stop them and we can share the bounty."
So, this lovely jaguar leaps from tree to tree above their heads and lands in front of them, screaming to beat the band. They (there were 3 of them) turned and bolted back down the trail, and guess who was waiting? Yours truly. Jag pounced from behind and nabbed one and I leaped for the jugular of another, and we settled down to a tasty snack.
Meanwhile, the last headhunter goes charging off into the wilderness and runs smack into Bev, who was following me for who knows what reason, probably to get into trouble, knowing Bev, and they proceed to have a karate/kung fu/wrestling match on the jungle floor. Bev kicks the **** out of the poor savage, tames him, and hauls his sorry butt back to camp, where now he sits making eyes at her for all to see.
As for Theo, he just blithely went along his way, whistling as he collected more bamboo for the cottages, totally oblivious to the commotion going on in the jungle all because of him. Now, do we have the story straight or what?!
Jeepers - I told you guys I'd stay on the other side of the island but I heard these atrocious fibs from all the way across the jungle with my supersonic wolf ears and I just had to come and set it straight! Now, if you'll excuse me, Jag and I have some hunting to do.
*Dawn, Theo, Enjo, and Bev and her new pal hear a wildcat scream from behind them as Wolf disappears back into the night and grab each other in a big group hug.*
