Chapter 7: Chase for Granny
"Woooo heehee!" Granny said excited, her up as the log zoomed downhill. Scrat was hanging on to the front of log, screaming.
From behind, Tackle, Kiko and Vibe were sliding down the snowy slope in super fast speed. Kiko was actually struggling, the ferret not used to sliding down a slippery snowy hill in a such crazy fast speed. He waved his arms around, trying to keep balance.
"Ooooh! This is hard! How are you guys so good at this?!" Kiko asked the two in amazement on how they're sliding with ease while he's here flapping his arms like a dodo.
"I always sled raced with Jake!" Vibe told him. "And I learned it from my cousin Peaches!" Tackle told him. "Hey Kiko! You and Tackle are best friends aren't you? How come you don't this often?" Vibe asked him, tilting her head with one ear down.
"I do sled with Tackle! Only with a sled! Not with my feeeet!" Kiko explained as he started to lose balance, leaning towards Tackle's side. The cub quickly held Kiko's arm to help him maintain balance again.
"Thanks" Kiko said grateful as Tackle smiled at him. Vibe noticed and growled annoyed.
"Ok team. We need to get to that snow board and get Granny before she gets hurt!" Tackle explained, trying to think of a plan. "Or she doesn't hurt anyone. Like us" Vibe said sarcastically. Honestly, she was more concerned about her safety than Granny's.
"Maybe if two of us get on each side and one of us in the middle, we can..
" Kiko started coming up with a plan but Vibe rolled her eyes bored and decided to go with another plan...her own plan.
"Grab that grandma!" Vibe said and quickened her speed towards the old sloth. "Vibe wait!" Tackle called out as he zoomed after her. Kiko shook his head worriedly as he followed after them.
Vibe managed to get close to Granny as the old sloth turned around and noticed her. "Hey! What are you doing to my ride ya fleabag?!" Granny said cranky as Vibe ignored her, focusing on her idea as she chuckled.
"Hope you love spinning ya old sloth!" Vibe told her as she swatted her paw at the ski and sent the old sloth spinning around. Vibe waited patiently and slammed her paw onto the ski, stopping it from spinning and this time, Granny was facing her.
"Ok grandma. Let's get you home so we can find Big Cat" she told her, referring Adah as Big Cat. "Vibe look out!" Tackle called out as the painted hyena looked up and her eyes bulged at seeing a ledge.
The two jumped over the ledge and once they hit the ground again, Vibe managed to land on the ski but Grannh landed on her back. "Oh this is comfy" Granny commented as she latched on, finding Vibe's fur really soft. Vibe, however, didn't like being treated as a pet as she glared at the sloth.
"Hey! Quit touching my fur!" Vibe told her angrily, shaking her body to get Granny off but that old sloth had a firm grip. Vibe then noticed Scrat who was still latched on the ski, holding his acorn.
Meanwhile, Tackle and Kiko were still following behind, the two best friends seeing that Vibe's plan backfired. "Kiko what's your plan bud?" Tackle asked his friend as the ferret analyzed the situation.
He decided to put the plan He had before Vibe ran ahead but this time with some changes. "Ok. You get on the left side of the ski and I'll get on the right. We grab each side and try to slow it down to a stop" Kiko explained his plan.
"Ok then. Let's go!" Tackle said confident as the zoomed towards Vibe and Granny on opposite sides of the ski. Vibe was still trying to get Granny off, the pup getting more and more annoyed by the grandma.
"Get.off.of.me!" Vibe demanded angrily as she kept shaking her body more violently, even grabbing the sloth's fur with her teeth and pulling her down on the ski. Granny accidentally slammed on Scrat's tail and he screamed and threw his acorn up in the air.
Vibe firmly put her paw on Granny so she wouldn't ran off anywhere but that also made Granny's back press on Scrat's tail more so the squirrel couldn't save his precious acorn so he desperately pulled his tail to get out.
Tackle and Kiko reached the ski and they grabbed each side. "Hold her down tight Vibe. Uncle Sid says she's slippery" Tackle warned her.
"Oh she's not going anywhere!" Vibe said determined and angry. Kiko looked over at his friend "Ok Tackle. Now stop it with your feet!" Kiko called over as he looked forward and his eyes bulged at what he saw ahead.
"And do it quick! We got another jump coming!" Kiko warned then as everyone looked ahead and saw another jump ahead towards the forest.
"Ok let's do this!" Tackle said loud and confident as he and Kiko halted, their feet skidding on the snow, trying to stop it. They were going so fast that it was difficult to slow down, Kiko's feet and Tackle's paws were burning from trying to slow down.
The two grunted, both in struggle and in pain, which alerted Vibe who saw her friends in trouble. She knew letting go of Granny would mean trouble but her friends needed her more.
Vibe let go of Granny and got in front of the ski, putting her whole body in front of it, hoping her weight will help. Granny took the chance to stand up which leg go of Scrat's tail who now saw a chance go save his jut.
Vibe's assistance did help as her weight slowed the ski down and just when they were reaching the edge, the ski finally stopped moving just as they reached the edge. "Phew" the three kids and Scrat said relieved that it's all over...but they're not out of the woods yet.
