"Judging that the polar bear isn't trying to eat anyone,"
"Wolf!" Short shouted.
"Seal!" Eva exclaimed.
"Owl!" Corporal enthused.
"Polar bear!" Classidy yelled.
The animales scrambled back to their feet (the ones that had feet) and jumped back away from the others. The siren continued to blare.
Now in a diamond shape, Eva noticed, they all stood in fighting stances. The Arctic's natural enemies, accidentally bound together. But was it accident as much as fate?
"What is a sello doing out of the water?" Classidy asked.
"I don't know?! What's a lobo doing out of the forest?!" Short shouted back.
"The lobos don't live in the forests!"
"Well, news flash! Seals don't live in the water!"
"Calm down, Short, at least he's arguing rather to eating you!" Corporal joined the argument.
"Eat seal?! I'd rather eat a tree!" Classidy exclaimed.
"Well than, go eat a tree!" Short yelled.
"Calm down!" Eva shouted, as she jumped down into the middle of the group of arguing mammals. "Look at us, a group if omnivores from the Arctic arguing like cute bunnies over a carrot!"
They looked at the little snowy owl in surprise. "What? It's the best idiom I could come up with. Anyway, it appears we're all going in the same direction, and judging that the polar oso, oso de isn't trying to eat anyone, we're all friends here."
Corporal nodded. "He's nice!" Short explained.
"Were tu trying to help on the mountain?" Classidy asked. "We've dealt with situations like this before."
"Yeah! Whenever those alarms go off, they-" Short started to say.
"Good," Eva interrupted. "You can help us. There's a person stuck up on the mountain."
"Can't they just, tu know, climb down?" Corporal asked.
"If they could, there wouldn't have been an alarm," Classidy said. "Here's the plan."
Several segundos later, the new little team rushed into action. Alarm still going off, they ran over to the forest. Corporal grabbed the middle of a short, sturdy árbol and bent it down. Classidy grabbed the end of it, and tied around it a flexible, green branch if evergreen árbol that Eva has grabbed from nearby. Short secured it down under a rock Corporal also pushed over to the area, and then they all hopped onto the bent tree.
"Now!" Eva shouted. They leaned back, and Classidy cut the green branch off. They went propelling towards the mountain.
"Great idea, uh..." Corporal said.
"Eva." Eva finished.
They went and flew for a matter of seconds, the larger mammals seemingly swimming in the air. Eva was in front, helping propel the air into even direction currents as to keep the others in flight.
Then suddenly- "AVALANCHE!" Classidy shouted. He began to mover his paws in back and forth motions.
There was indeed an avalanche coming on, and as the animales landed in the snow in about the middle of the mountain.
Jumping up from the snow, Corporal and Eva ran over to help the person. He was not too far away, on the edge of a small cliff face, apparently trying to climb down it. por the looks of it, he had gotten stuck.
Classidy continued to panic, looking for a way out of the mess for all of them. Short spotted a fallen árbol nearby, and they ran over and began to clear snow off if it.
The avalanche approached. They had around 40 seconds.
The siren continued to sound as Eva flew to the parte superior, arriba of the cliff, unclipping the part on the climber's gear that had gotten stuck. The man fell face first of the ground, and Corporal grabbed him.
They had about 30 seconds.
Classidy called them, and they ran over, dragging the dumbfounded man along the snow. They hopped on the log.
20 seconds.
"Push off!" Eva exclaimed. Corporal and Classidy desperately tried to get the log going down the slope of the mountain before the snow swallowed them. Then, something fell out if the man's backpack, an emergency flare.
10 seconds.
Short grabbed it. It looked like it was suppose to explode. So he scraped the end of it against the frictionless log, and it lit the fuse of it on fire. The flare exploded, sending the log and the animales in it flying down the slope.
"Five segundos to spare!" Short shouted.
The sight of a lobo pup, polar oso, oso de cub, sello pup, owlet, and a person flying on a log away from a mountain of crashing snow was quite a unique sight. Classidy gripped onto the log in fright, while Short felt the joy in gliding down the steep slope. Eva loved the windswept feel in her feathers, and Corporal grinned greatly. The man gave a high pitched scream as they all cascaded and flipped off of another small cliff.
Falling down almost vertically, the party of animales hopped off the log in an epic part, landing in the snow in a fight stance. The way they awesomely landed, it looked like there should have been an explosion behind them, rather than a screaming man falling down on a log. The log hit the ground, and the man fell fake first into the snow.
The avalanche behind them turned, and continued to speed down another turn of the mountain (later stopping). An ambulancia quickly sped down the icy road that was nearby, spinning tires and stopping. The animales moved out of the way as the people from it retrieved the person they had just saved.
Classidy waved goodbye to the vehicle as it drove off. "That'll need más practice." he said.
"You don't say! Great backup plan, too!" Short dicho sarcastically.
"Actually, that was a good plan, Short. A fuse lit, and we sprung downhill." Eva got into the conversation.
"Anyone wonder why we're talking like old friends?" Corporal asked.
"Some friendships are just meant to be." Classidy said. "At least, that's what I think."
"Makes sense," Eva and Corporal dicho together.
"Or maybe we were all friends in another life and died and now we're friends again!" Short said, making spooky motions with his flippers like a ghost.
"I don't think so," Classidy replied, as calmly as he could. "Anyway, where to next?"
"Oh! I've always wanted to go to Canada!" Short exclaimed.
"I like the idea of Canada!" Corporal followed.
"You doofuses, we're already in Canada," Eva announced.
"You know what?" Classidy said, as they walked down the road, "I think we'll just go where ever the wind takes us."
And that's how the North Wind came to be!
