Slippy was sitting in his apartment giving everyone the Kirby virus reformatting a computer that was in his care when he noticed and odd light traveling though the sky.

He popped his head out his window to take a closer look. Was it a shooting star?

No, it looked different. It looked more like a ship. He stared in confusion as he tried to think who it could belong to.

[shootmedown]

Once Leon was high enough above the buildings (though his wolfen-colored ship was still vaguely visible), He wanted to test out its maneuvering.

So he proceeded to do a barrel roll.

[shipscomingout]

Slippy continued watching. This ship seemed vaguely familiar but he couldn't understand why.

[shootmedown]

It was when Leon flipped upside down in a u-turn that he noticed a green face sticking out of one of the windows.

though having no idea if froglegs even keeps his communicator around, he decided to try and reach him through the visual transmitter, anyway. His fingers danced over a few control panel buttons and Leon was online; his hair wildly out of place since the barrel roll.

"How do you like my new ship?"

[shipscomingout]

"Aw come on! At least let me catch up!" grumbled Slippy as he was hot on Leon's tail.

He began to grow more and more concerned as the land below him become more green and shrouded with trees and other thick greenery. There didn't seem to be any sign of human life in the area.

"Uh Leon.... I don't think were in Diamond City anymore."

[shootmedown]

"Well no shit, sherlock!"

What made the lizard man snap was his attention to the fuel gauge, which was getting critically low. He never refuelled before the trip, now did he?

"Uhh..." Was he going to admit that?

[shipscomingout]

"What's wrong?" Slippy asked in confusion.

[shootmedown]

Silence.

Leon was comtemplating with what to do with only 600 seconds of fuel power left, draining as he was thinking. The ship was fast enough to possibly cross this area if a town existed on the other side, but if nothing was there, down goes the ship.

"I'm gonna land." He was now looking for at least a small clearing to land in.

[shootmedown]

"Oh yeah! That wierdo!"

Leon slammed his fist into his other palm! "You better call that guy unless you wanna see Lombardi come after me with a discount store machete!"

[shipscomingout]

Slippy couldn't help but give a small chuckle at that mental picture. He placed his headset on and tried to contact Bill.

"Hello Bill? Bill? It's Slippy. Pick up Bill!"

[shootmedown]

Leon activated his own headset to join in the conversation when Bill answers.

While waiting for that, he proceeded to break off some dead wood to set up a little basecamp flooring over the swampground.

[shipscomingout]

Slippy continued trying to call Bill but only received the sound of static in return.

"Come on...PICK UP!"

[shipscomingout]

Slippy swam toward Leon.

"How drunk was he?"

[shootmedown]

Leon was now looking serious.

"Drunk enough to assume we're fucked."

[shipscomingout]

"Oh..okay."

Slippy then promptly pushed Leon back into the water and burst out laughing. Even though they were probably doomed, he felt better now.

[shootmedown]

Leon didn't think they would be doomed anytime soon. Sure, maybe wait until the dog sobers to ask again...-

His thought train crashed when he was knocked into the water! He rose up as quickly as he could and heaved out pondwater as he punched a fist in to splash back at the amphibian's face.

"This shit tastes like shit!"

And then Leon was laughing too! Things probably won't go bad until they start going bad!

Bill hopped out of the cockpit and landed rather smoothly in the shallow swamp water, a gas can in hand. "Yo, I brought that gas you wanted! Right here!" He held it over his head and shook it in victory. He didn't seem to notice that the sound of the swishing gasoline made the jug seem rather ... empty.

"Yup, me and the Ol' Faithful here have done it again. She's gotten me to a lot of destinations, she has. Ah, she's a beaut." He patted it, causing a piece of machinery to fall from the tail. He looked at it and blinked. "Oops. Hope that wasn't important. *hic* Haha..!"

"So, what are you dudes doing in a scraphole like this, huh? Man, the smell... makes my nose hurt!"

[shipscomingout]

"Bill, how much did you have to drink today?" Slippy asked feeling more and more certain they were doomed.

[shootmedown]

"I wouldn't be surprised if he drank the gasoline on the way here," Leon muttered.

He then gave a sarcastic grin to Bill. "Make yourself home at Our Casa de Verde! Tonight's dinner, Toad and I will be serving Hakuna Matata. We have our sleeping quarters here in this crapshack, bath water right behind you, our bonfire is burning brilliantly but make sure it doesn't get put out by swamp water or set the rest of our basecamp ablaze, and if you need to use the restroom, please keep your droppings at least at a four-tree radius away from this spot."

[shipscomingout]

Slippy jumped out of the tree, stumbling a bit.

"I guess we're gonna be stuck here a bit longer." he sighed. "That's it! I'm gonna call Falco or Krys.." He touched his headset only to find he was touching empty air. "...tal. Oh no! My headset musta' fallen off when I was in the tree!"

He hastily began to search for it but no soon after he took a step, a sickening crunch came from under his foot.

".....I stepped on it, didn't I?" he said flatly.
