With a huff and putting her hands on her hips, one of the swimmers turned to the flyer, "No thankyou! We've had enough of flyers today!" she began.
A friend of hers stepped forward, "Will you quite it with that stupid story?! You stole them and you're just making up this story about a flyer swooping in a stealing the green food just to cover for it!".
"I am not!" the other swimmer turned from talking to Pterano, "I saw exactly where our missing food went, you guys were just too busy gathering it, and I'll thankyou for not labeling me a liar!".
One of the swimmers not in the argument directly winced and explained to Pterano, "Thanks for the help, really" she said, "Sorry my friends there are too busy to explain, we turned around after gathering some green food at one time to save trouble later and special pile of special leaves that she gathered" the swimmer indicated her first friend, "and wanted to save were gone, and she was standing nearby" here the other swimmer was pointed to.
"They say I stole them when I clearly saw that yellow flyer swoop past and grab up the pile, but then in this world apparently your guilty until proven innocent!" she yelled at her friend who had been accusing.
"What flyer would vindictively steal our green food like some juvinile adolescent?" the other swimmer asked.
"Stop using big words just to get past me!" was the yelled back response.
The swimmer not fighting put her hand to her head, "I think about leaving many days..." she said half to herself, "but anyway, yeah, that's the story, she either ate them or a yellow flyer bullyingly stole them".
Off not as far from here as he should have been, Cree peered past the slight tree cover to watch this fight...and noticed who the swimmers were confiding in.
"Really...with the one hundered or something other square inches of the Mysterious Beyond" he sighed.
He also frowned though and decided that now might be the best time to try and beat a hasty retreat, so he turned to begin to flap off.

"So what should we do for the time we have until Redclaw might ruin everything?" Misty asked.
"I am just going to enjoy the water that, like you said, we get to enjoy" Ruby said, getting in for a swim.
"Well..." egg nappers weren't known for swimming, but they they could do it. Misty slowly got in, wanting to, like Ruby had said, enjoy the day while they could.
Both of the girls turned as Pearl came over and smiled. "Hey Pearl" Misty said.
"Yes, hello Pearl, hello" Ruby greeted as well, "Like I already asked Misty before asking you now, how did you sleep?" the Fast Runner asked considerately.
"Hi Chomper" Mist turned to greet him too.
