#13 of mini story


I can't believe I was dragged into coming "I growled as I was walking with Ms. Frizzle's class to the bus, the only way I got to go was because Ms. Frizzle showed up to my house unexpected and talked my mom into letting me go camping

"when I see that lady im gonna..." I said but was stop not wanting to finish what I was thinking

"don't be such a crab apple tsume, camping will be fun, " Carlos said as we walked side by side

"Yeah well, im not an outside person," I told him

"well that's why you should come, you'll learn something new"

" if I wanted to go camping then the TV would have Ben just fine, " I said as Tim came up

"sure you can watch it on TV but wouldn't you want to try it for real?"

"I want live Tim not die, and besides bears live in the forest and im not a bear lover either, " I said as we enter the bus I sat next to the window and Carlos took a seat next to me

"don't worry I don't think the frizzle would put us in danger," Carlos said

"yeah and we're going to a campsite where there aren't any bears, "Ralphie said as he and the others came on the bus taking their seats

"don't tell me you're scared of camping tsume, I thought you would be happy to go?" Keesha asked me

"well you thought wrong," I said crossing my arms

"at my old school we never went camping before so I guess im kinda excited for this" Phoebe said then ms. Frizzle came on the buss wearing a dress with camping designs on it

"good morning class are you ready for our camping trip?" she asked the class as they cheered but not tsume

"I'm starting to think the outfits she wears are a sign of us dying," tsume said in a whisper

"before we head off we have one more member coming with us," she said as then Janet came on the bus making tsume more unhappy.

"why are you here Janet?" Arnold said

"To teach you guys all about the true life of camping"

"what do you know about camping?" Ralphie asked

"more than you and to prove it I got camping badges," she said pulling out a book with lots of camping badges, I just rolled my eyes not caring, the last thing I needed was to be bothered by the one girl I wasn't able to toss into space. so ms. Frizzle told Janet to take a seat as she started the bus and off we went the class was talking to each other as I was ignoring them with the music that a bring with me, I knew I was gonna need it and thank god I did. as I was listening to my music I felt a tap on my shoulder making me look to see Carlos , I refuse to remove my head buds which I'm sure he knew by the way I was looking at him as he was talking but then stopped then pointed to his ear telling me to remove the head buds as I shook my head only for him to nod ,then started talking anyway about god knows what but I tried to make out what he was talking about and pretty much ... I got nothing, what seemed forever on the bus we made it to our camping site we got off the bus and unpacked.

"ok class time to pair up, Arnold and Dorothy,Carlos and tsume, Keesha and Wanda, Phoebe and Tim, Ralphie and Janet"

she said as i sigh and then she sighed us for job which i wasn't going to bark about because Carlos wanted to go collect firewood, so there we were looking for sticks in the forest i hated the dark and i was a little skittish almost jumping at every sound i heard

"hey Tsume"

"what ! "

"are you ok, you seem, uh, jumpy?"

"me jumpy, n-no way"

"are you sure?"

"Yeah, just fine. um hey, wanna go back?"

"but we didn't find enough fire wood"

"I'm sure this will be enough," I told him as I grab his hood and dragged him back, once back our tents were put up and the spot to put the fire was made as there were a table and other stuff.

"good work class, you're all such good campers," ms Frizzle said

"we got the firewood ms Frizzle," Carlos said as I left him to jump in my tent

"good work Carlos, wheres tsume ?"

"huh? she was here a minute ago?" ms Frizzle asked looking around

"she's hiding in her tent ms Frizzle !" I heard Janet shouted as I growled

"tsume don't you want to come out and sit around the fire?" ms Frizzle asked

"uh no thanks, I'm ok in here...alone"

"are you sure you want to stay in there?"

"yeah I'm fine, no need to ..."

"you're scared of the dark!" Janet said with a laugh as I came out of the tent with a baseball bat in hand.

"I'm sorry what did you say?" I said coldly as i was stopped by Tim and Ralphie, it was later taken from me and hidden

"I wasn't going to hit her with it," I said as Wanda put a hand on my shoulder

"by now tsume we know you're lying," she said as i shrugged, after a couple of songs around the campfire we ate s'mores Janet wanted to tell ghost stories and that's when I had enough

"ok im out"

"what's the rush tsume don't tell me you're scared of the dark?" I knew she was trying to get under my skin but I wasn't going to let that happen, I ignored her and went to my tent

"chicken, chicken tsume is a scaredy cat ! "she said as I came running out of my tent screaming making her scream as well but i was stopped by miss frizzle getting in my way making me come to a stop.

"tsume there's nothing wrong with being scared of the dark," ms Frizzle said

"I'm not, now would you please get out of my way so I can get to her, "I said trying to get around ms Frizzle but she seems to move every time I move until she turned it into a dance and started to spin me around like we were ballroom dancing. I was able to pull away from her and almost get Janet but once again stop by her, she had a good grip on my shirt

"now remember what we talked about"

"yeah but.," i said but stop as I sigh knowing I wasn't going to win, not when she's around I just smiled it off and went back into my tent. early in the morning, we were woken up by a trumpet, ms Frizzle wanted us to go on a hike

"Did anyone tell you how much I hate mornings?" I said coming out of my tent

"Did you ever hear the saying the early bird gets the worm?" Carlos asked coming over to me

"no, but did you hear that Janet is the biggest pain in the whole entire universe?" I asked as I heard laughter to see ralphie

"good one tsume"

"yes very amusing," Janet said with a cup and toothbrush in hand"I'm telling Miss Frizzle you're making fun of me"

"um like ok, no skin off my bones" i said sounding like a valley girl then change it to an evil laugh then walked back to my tent to get dressed,After we all got dressed miss frizzle walked us on a long hike, it was hot and I was getting tired but I didn't want to say anything, all I tryed to block out was Jante talking about the plants to watch out for and you should really watch out for Poison Ivy ,

"did you know that Poison Ivy is found throughout North America and is usually east of the Rocky Mountains. These plants like to grow in wooded areas and like to grow on exposed rocks, in open fields." the class groan from hearing Janet brag about everything

"I wouldn't be surprised if she fell in a patch of Poison Ivy, " I said under my breath as I heard laughter to see Carlos laughing

"good one and she'll be itching for days"

"I can hear you two," Janet said as I rolled my eyes and walked past her

"hey don't ignore me!"

"i spy with my little eye someone that i don't like"I said stopping as I gave Janet a smirk and continue to walk, I didn't hear what she said but I knew she was gonna get me back so I had to be careful , an hour later after our long hike we rested near a river and played in it , I didn't like being in water as much so I sat on a rock over the edge getting my feet wet until I was shoved into the water making me panic as I surface with the help of Carlos and Ralphie, only to here Janet laughing her butt off

"Did you see the look on her face priceless! "

Janet said laughing her butt off

"That wasn't funny"

I heard Kisha said

"That was really mean"

I heard Tim said

"What are you guys yelling at she's the one that started it maybe for once you should do exactly what everyone tells her to and just get lost"

My eyes widen as those words echoed in my head

"are you ok tsume?" they asked as I pulled away from them and ran away without an answer, I heard someone calling my name but I ignore them and kept running until I felt someone grabbed my wrist making me stop as I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"You shouldn't run away like that you'll get lost"

I recognized the voice as it turned out to be Carlos

"Why are you following me ?"

"Because we're friends right, and partners"

"Is that all you care about?"

"Look, I know you're mad at Janet for what she did but don't let it get to you"

"Why do you care?"

"Like I said we're friends"

He said as he reached his hand out to me but I slept it away

"Let's get one thing straight Carlos, I'm not in your class to make friends. Im Here because that lying teacher of mine put me in here thinking that she can get rid of me!"

I shouted in Rage as I yelled at him I saw the look of sadness in his eyes the more I shouted and the more I told him how I hated being in one class to the next and how I hated being in his class, I told him how I hate Miss Frizzle, I hated it how she ignored the impossibility and made it possible, I hated how nice she was to me even though I tried being mean , I hate it how everyone first hated me but welcomed me with open arms. I shut my eyes tightly as I felt tears streaming down my cheeks not caring that I was crying I turn to a tree and gave it a good punch

"And most of all I hate you!"

I cried as I fell to my knees

"It hurts to hear those words...."I chocked as I cried I felt arms wrapped around me I didn't care he just held me close as I cried harder, we were back at the camp sight sitting at the bench as my head was down with my eyes closed as my thoughts kept replaying what happened and wishing I didn't say what I said to Carlos, I knew he was just being nice and wanting to help me but why did I exploded like that and why did I opened up like I did. I opened my eyes to see him also with his head down and eyes closed.

"I'm sorry..."

I said in a whisper as his eyes slowly open looking directly at me he didn't respond as I continued

"I'm just not used to this, being surrounded by people that don't make fun of me and with me putting up a defenseless wall at first I thought I had to but I guess it was because I was only outnumbered, but you have to understand... "

I stopped as I took a deep breath"

"what I mean to say was I wouldn't mind being ..."

"if you wanted me to be your friend all this time you could have just asked," he said cutting me off as he raised his head and giving me a soft smile

"at first when I met you I thought you were going to be one of those girls that like to get into trouble and stuff but like they say never judge a book by its cover"

he said with a chuckle

"so would you like to make it official?"

he said as he held out his hand I looked at him then sigh as I took it and we shook on it then we heard clapping, we turned as we saw miss frizzle and the class

"I'm so proud of you tsume"

"Why?"

"Because you finally accepted carols as a friend, this is what I've Ben waiting for"

"What, wait you just wanted me to be friends with someone"

"No just anyone but someone that you wanted to accept and someone that understood you as you know the first lesson in camping is trust "

Miss Frizzle said

And I believe someone has something to say to you she said as she pushed Janet forward

"I'm sorry! "

she said in a growl

"if you say so"

tsume said not caring if she meant it or not

"it's not my fault you can swim"

Janet said making everybody glare at her

"well it isn't if she couldn't swim then why didn't she tell anybody"

"that's not the point Janet you could have gotten tsume hurt "

"yeah just think, what if no one was around when you pushed her in the water then what ?"

Phoebe said making her see that they had a point. Even after Janet apologized I still didn't feel up to the camping mood, but miss frizzle tryed to make every bit of camping fun. When I saw the sun was setting I started heading to my camp

"Where you going tsume, we still have enough time for stories"

I heard Phoebe said as I turned to look at her

"I'm not in the mood for stories I'm going to bed early"

I said and went into the tent, even inside the tent I can hear the class talking about a way to make me happy when really all I really wanted was to go home . in the middle of the night I awoke when I heard wrestling sounds from the bushes I exit out of my tent to look at a look around it was dark out so I pulled out a flashlight that I had in my camping bag and started to look around,the one thing that came to mind was either it if it was a bear or a raccoon

"Tsume?"

I turned around and saw Carlos coming out of his tent with a flashlight while rubbing his eyes

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, go to bed"

I told him until we heard the wrestling noise at the bushes

"Is it a bear?"

He asked scared as I couldn't find the source of the noise even with the flashlight. The two of us screamed when we felt a hand on our shoulders, we looked up to see Miss Frizzle

"What are you doing up so late?"

"You really shouldn't be sneaking up on me, one day you will find yourself karate chop."

I told her but she only chuckled at this, we told her what was going on but she only told us not to worry as it might have been just a bear, and with that, we all headed back to our tents for the rest of the night. by morning we all got dressed and sat around the camp because Miss Frizzle had an announcement for us

"I want you guys to know that when you're going off on your own to remain together and stay safe and to watch out for any traps"

She said as she held out what seems to be a bear trap,everybody gasp when seeing this as she explained that there might be Animal Hunters around the campsite so to be okay she wanted us to pack her things early to actually find a new spot which I didn't really care cuz we were getting out of here.

"That must really suck that we have to move"

Wanda said once everyone was packed, we got on the bus but me staring into the distance at what I thought I heard an Animal cry

"Tsume what's wrong?"

Tim asked me as I didn't respond and just bolted not hearing him call out to me. I stopped when I saw a fox lying on the ground bellowing in pain as its leg was caught in one of the traps. I try to approach it but only growl at me making me stop but I reassured her that I wasn't going to hurt it but I started making my way over to it anyway, I held my hand out to it to show that I wasn't going to hurt it smelled my hand giving me the signal to set it free.

"Tsume why did you ..."

I heard Carlos say as he saw what I was doing and gave me a hand. We worked together and was able to open the trap. It ran off once we freed it

"Thanks, Carlos"

I said as he smiled, the group found up and we told them what happened. Once back to the bus we got on and was ready to leave but something went wrong as the bus didn't start but changed into a bear, I was having a bad feeling about this and so was the class, the bus spun around again changing into other animals and things until it spun again tossing us out and we were animals AGAIN

"Oh god why!"

I cried as I saw I was a beautiful shade of orange color fox and so was Carlos, Tim, and miss frizzle as the others were bears along with the bus.

"Please tell me this didn't happen"

Arnold said panicking as Janet only scoffed

"It did happen now get over it. What did you do to us!?"

Janet said as Miss Frizzle looked puzzled at what happened, she went over to the bus and popped open the hood and saw that it's been tampered with

"I don't think we're going anywhere anytime soon"

She said as everyone wanted to know who did it, I started thinking might have been the hunters but then again nobody saw them. And we didn't have any proof

" can I point something out"

I said looking over to Miss Frizzle as I realize the height difference in her and Tim

"Yes, tsume?"

"Why are you guys bigger than us?"

I asked as she smiled

"Because you and Carlos are my pups"

"What?!"

"Well, me and Tim's pups"

She said as Carlos and I looked at each other

"I'm out!"

I said walked away only to be picked up by the scruff of my coat and brung back to where Carlos was sitting

"Tsume you can't go off on your own, you'll get hurt or worst"

She said

"Fine I won't leave just hurry"

I said as she pushed me to Carlos and told everyone to stay close and for tim to be in charge of watching us as Wanda was in charge of the others. Minutes later I was laying in the sun relaxing until Carlos jumped on me

"Carlo stop it I'm tired"

"Come on tsume play with me"

He said wagging his tail as he getting ready to jump me again

"Go away "

I said rolling over from him, I yelp when he started to pull my tail

"Play. With. Me!"

I yip at him as in barking and started to Chase after him, being a pup it wasn't like we were moving fast or anything. Carlos laughed when I wasn't able to keep up and ran into Tim

"Sorry"

I said backing away

"What is going on?!"

Tim asked as I looked to Carlos

"Carlos did it!"

I said pointing to him, Tim sigh and told Carlos to stop goofing around and to stay still but of course, he wasn't listening and wanted to play. Miss Frizzle got back to us and told us it will take some time to get the bus working again

"So we have to stay like this forever?!"

I screamed

"No, just until Tomorrow"

"What!!!" I screamed again

"Don't worry it's not so bad"

She said nuzzled me when I was shaking and whimpering.

"Mizz frizzle I'm hungry"

Carlos said as the others were hungry as well

"Well we need to get food but we can't leave them"

Tim said

"Ok, we can go get food while you guys wait here"

keesha said as everyone agreed to that. keesha, Dorothy Ann, and Miss Frizzle left for food. As the others waited I was still being bugged by Carlos

"Play with me"

"No!"

He tackled me as the two of us wrestled,

"Carlos stop picking on tsume "

Tim said we all started to calm down, my ears perked up when I heard a Cry drawing my attention, I look towards where the sound was and started to make my way over there

"Tsume, hey where are you going?"

Carlos asked following me into the forest

"Don't you hear it... someone's calling for help"

I said as he started to listen and also heard the cries

"don't you think we should tell Tim where we going, I mean will be in big trouble if Miss Frizzle and the other show up and saw us not here"

Carlos said but I didn't respond to him, I followed the sounded until we came to the clearing of where we saw a fox lying on the ground,

"It's another Fox"

I said walking over to him as it looked to me and growled making me back up a bit

"Tsume we should go"

Carlo said

"Carlos, it's the fox that we saved"

I told him I looked at the fox realize that it was,he questioned why was it out here alone and not back with his family our thoughts were interrupted when we heard wrestling in the bushes as two men came out from the bushes making us scream and try to make a run for it but instead of me getting away I was captured. I tried to bite my way out of the net that the guy had me in as he Lifted Me Up Inside the net and laughed

"Cute little thing aren't you but not so smart "

He said as he started to walk away, I Look to where Carlos was as he was hiding in the bush, he came out in time only to see me get put into a truck and drive off.

Carlos point of view)

Carlos started panicking at what he just witness and started running back to the others only to crash into Tim

"Carlos what the...."

"tsume has been captured!!!"

He shouted making everyone gasp when miss frizzle President heard that she was silent for a moment before she went up to Carlos

"Who took her and where do they go?"

"I don't know it was some man he was big and he captured tsume with a net, it was a trap set up by him he drew Us in with the injured Fox that we saved!!"

he's screen while panicking Miss Frizzle told him to calm down and have him explain everything from the beginning. After that, they had to come up with a plan in order to save tsunami but the problem was they didn't know where the truck took her and where she could be

"I say we forget her, it's her fault for running off in the first place after she was told not to"

Janet said as all the class glared at her

"If I was an adult fox I would..."

"shut up Janet you don't know what you're talking about, tsume didn't Wonder off, she did it because she heard someone calling out for help if you were a fox you would have known that!!"

Carlos shouted in rage as everyone was surprised by this nobody has ever heard him do such a thing, Ralphie had to calm him down as he told him not to worry that they were going to get her back.everyone was trying their best to stay calm and be patient as Miss Frizzle was trying to get the bus working again

"This is all my fault, I should never have gone with her I should have gotten someone... I should have tryed to stop her"

Carlos said to himself feeling worse about the situation

"Carlos stop beating yourself up ,tsume tough girl she can take care of herself."

Wanda said trying to cheer him up

"Yeah it's an army can handle her teacher Mrs. Applebottom that she can definitely handle a bunch of bullies"

Keisha said

"Really?"

"You know tsume is smarter than the average bear" Arnold said cracking a joke " sometimes she does things that even surprise me... And scares me"

"Will get her back don't worry about it"

Everyone cheered Carlos up except for Janet who wasn't counting her money on getting tsume back, she didn't feel like they should get because she disobeys miss frizzle. Seeing they were able to get the bus going again they headed out to find tsume

Tsume POV)

Tsume woke up and found herself in a cage and thought she fell asleep. She looked at her surroundings and saw she was in a place that smells like medicine. She heard sounds and people talking until the door open as a woman walked in wearing a doctor coat.

"Looks like your awake, how are you feeling?"

the lady asked making tsume growl at her, the women didn't seem scared of her at all, when she started to open the cage tsume started to back away in the corner, she tryed to get away when the lady reached out to get her but failed.

"Hey hey, calm down, I won't hurt you"

The lady said holding tsume in her arms as she tryed to wiggle free from her grip

*, let me go lady!!*

Tsume shouted in her head, but she stopped when the lady walked over to what looked like a playpen that had an adult fox in it, the fox lifted its head looking at tsume when the women put her down

"Now Todd be nice to your new friend ok"

The woman said and walked away as tsume looked to the lady than to the fox as she saw its leg was wrapped, realized it was a fox she helped

*Wow we keep meeting up, maybe this is a sign*

Tsume said to herself, the fox didn't mind tsume being there he just lay back down, tsume spent half of the time trying to get out but couldn't making her cry and whimper

*I need to get out, let me out *

Tsume cry scratching on the carpet floor until she was picked up by the Scruff of her neck and placed with the adult fox Todd

* Hey, I'm not your child*

She said barking but only got a lick from Todd, silencing her as she drove blank not knowing how to respond to this, Todd kept licking her as an attempt to clean her when she couldn't get away she just laid in his arms allowing him to do so.once that was done he laid his head on the ground as tsume snuggled up to him and fell asleep next to him. She later woke up and found out that it was already night outside, the woman that put her in the room was no longer there she finally knew that it was time for her to get out of here but she couldn't even get past a little gate the woman put up.

giving up on a little attempt to trying to escape, she fell asleep later on and woke up the next morning when hearing voices. she looked around the playpen and saw that Todd wasn't in here and that made her get up looking around

"I see you're awake now little one"

said the doctor lady that was looking down at her, she picked tsunami up when she was trying to get away again and put her outside of the playpen letting her see that Todd was underneath a desk sleeping

"What are you going I'm pretty sure you're hungry"

she said pointing to the dish that was across the room on a mat,tsume looked away in disgust not wanting to eat but tell her stomach Rumble giving into the sweet Aroma of the food she went to go eat. Once that was done pretty much the doctor lady kept trying to hold her or pet her

"You're such a beautiful color"

The lady said as she Strokes her fur making her purr, tsunami felt safe here and not worrying about anything until the door open and she saw the hunter that kidnapped her and making her freak out as she jumped out of the woman's arm and over under the desk where Todd was making him jump as well when she dived into him

"Lisa, how are the two little ones doing?"

The guy asked

"There fine Clayton and thanks to you once Todd is Heald they'll be free to go"

She said as tsume saw an unhappy look in the man's eyes, it seems that the guy name Clayton had a thing for the doctor named Lisa. And she thanked him for rescuing them and she said she couldn't have done it without his help. when Lisa left to go check on something the man smirked at the two foxes

"What Lisa doesn't know is that I'm waiting for you big boy to be all better so I can sell you BOTH to the black market"

He said in a whisper as tsume jaw dropped

"And you little one, You'll sell much quicker pup"

He said looking at tsume while chuckling and walking away when Todd growled at him. Standing over tsume protectively

*Oh no I'm going to be sell and if that happens I won't see my family ever again...or Carlos*

She said whimpered. The whole day she stayed with Todd under the desk as he pretty much treated her like she was his child or something. Tsume didn't mind and found Todd to be sweet. They would end up playing with each other as Lisa watched when she was in the office and happy we got along, tsume liked Lisa, she was very nice and only wanted to help injured animals not knowing that the guy was planning to sell them

Miss Frizzle POV)

Miss Frizzle had got the bus to a machine who was able to fix it, everyone was anxious to get to where tsume was as it was Carlos who was starting to become more and more worried. He was so anxious to get going that it will and to stay still as he paced around back and forth.

"Okay, class, the bus is fixed time to go "

Miss Frizzle said coming out of the shock, everyone cheered and got on the bus quickly. But Wanda asked how would they find tsume if they don't know where she is

"You see there is an animal rescue center not too far from here, the guy in the shop told me "

"Well let's stop wasting time and hurry up"

Carlos said as everyone took their seats and buckle up, seconds later when they finally made it to the Animal rescue center Carlos was the first to dash off the bus. he ran to the desk to a woman in a lab coat that looked worried

"Excuse me but have you seen two foxes here, well one actually, she's small and cute and ...have you seen her?! "

"I'm sorry it's all my fault I should have seen it coming, your little fox was here but apparently I was betrayed by my coworker Clayton"

"wait, what?!"

the woman explains to Carlos what the man Clayton was planning to do with the baby foxes she felt guilty not being able to see it from the beginning. Carlos ran out of the rescue center back onto the bus almost crashing into Miss Frizzle

"Miss Frizzle, we have to hurry to the black market the crazy hunter guy that took tsume and Todd is heading there right now we have to go! "

"The black market, if that guy sells tsume to the black market will never see her again"

tim said as everyone got back on the bus and rushed there

tsume pov)

tsume was in the back of the truck lock in a big cage that was covered with Todd hiding as his tail wrapped around her for protection. she preyed for her friends to come to save her in time before it's too late, she tryed to think positive but was too scared at this point to do so. Todd was doing his best to calm her down with snuggle and licks but it didn't seem to be helping. When the truck came to a stop Tsume's heart started to best out of her chest as she heard the car door slam shut. Todd growled when hearing voices talk

The cage started moving tsume started yelping and whimpering only to get yelled at by Clayton to shut up. A minute later of being cared to God knows were then it was set down

"Todd I'm scared"

Tsume whimpered as Todd nuzzled her, the cage came to a stop as the cover over the cage got pulled off. Tsume gasp when seeing there were in a crowded place with people walking by. Tsume got really scared as she tryed to hid herself in Todd's tail, he lay over her so she could get be seen

"Foxes! Come to get your foxes here!"

Clayton shouted as he hit a stick on the cage. some people kept walking some looked but didn't seem interested. About a minute later a mother and child came up

"Is he a purebred?"

The woman asked as Clayton chuckled as he talked to the woman. Tsume didn't like this as Todd kept her hidden until the child looked into the cage

"Mommy mommy there's a little fox in there"

The child shouted Tsume's heart dropped when hearing this

"How much is the little one "

The woman asked

"Sorry miss you'll have to buy both, the dad won't let the little one out of its sight. Together it's 23,000 but the little one is 12,000"

"That much for the little one?"

"Well she is purebred"

"Fine"

She said as she took out the money, Clayton snapped his fingers as the guy that came with him opened the door trying to get Todd away from her but Todd wasn't going to let that happen as he bit one of the men but got muzzle when doing so and tsume was ripped away from him and put into a pet cage whimpering

"Here you go"

Clayton said as he handed the little boy the cage, the boy jumped for joy and headed to the car with the mom.

Carlos POV)

Carlos and the others finally got to the black market and searched for tsume,

"Are we too late ?"

Asked Keesha as tim called them over to where he said the guy with a cage is

"Hey, kids want to buy a fox?"

"It's you!"

Carlos said angrily

"You kidnapped tsume, where is she!"

He shouted but the man was confused before Carlos could say more miss Frizzle covered his mouth

"Excuse him, we're looking for a little fox, we heard from someone that you're selling some?"

"Sorry, only had one and already sold her"

"YOU DID WHAT?!!"

Carlos shouted as his friends tend to shut him up.

"Mind tell me who you sold it to?"

"Some lady and kid, I don't know where they live "

"Thank you, sir"

Once back on the bus the kids didn't know what to do now, they didn't know we're tsume was or how to find her. It wasn't long until miss Frizzle stopped by a park for the kids to take a break

"I hope she's ok"

Phebe said worried about tsume as the rest of the kids were as well, Carlos wished he didn't leave her and none of this would have happened.

"What are we going to tell her parents?"

Wanda asked as Janet deep sigh

"Ok guys I get it, you're worried about her but why give up?"

Janet said

"Janet please im tired of your mouth"

Dorthy and said

"I'm serious, look if you want to find her why not ask the fox that was in the cage"

"What fox?"

Tim asked

"The fox back at the black market in the cage"

She said rolling her eyes.

"I have a plan and you may not like it "

She said as they headed back the black market and saw the guy. The plan was for miss Frizzle to distract the guy while Carlo and Tim are animals set the fox free

"Hey remember me ?"

Carlos asked the fox as the fox smelled him before licking him

"Come with us will set you free"

Carlos said as they ran off with Todd before they heard the man shout to stop. later they came to a white house

"Nice house"

Tim said

"I'm sure she's inside "

Carlos said as they follow Todd to a window

"Is she inside? "

Carlos asked the fox says the fox only leaped up with his hind legs to the edge of the window, Carlos figured that he was trying to help him get inside. So Carlos climbs on the back of the fox into the open window. He looked around the room that was decorated into a little boys room, he saw the child, not into the room and looked around to see if he can find tsunami anywhere. He found the cage on the bed but didn't see tsume in there.

"tsume are you here?"

He whispered as he looked around the room as he heard a whisper called out to him. He looked as he saw underneath the dresser tsume came out from hiding

"It is you"

She said happily as Carlos ran over to her

"I'm so glad that you're okay, I'm sorry that I ran off and allowed you to get captured I'm such a terrible friend"

He said apologizing as she only smiles

"I forgive you"

"but I ran away and I allowed you to get captured"

"I told you before that I forgive you"

tsume said nuzzling him. Just as he was going to help her Escape that's when the boy came back

"oh wow I got 2 foxes to play with"

The little boy said as the two of them gasp and started to run away as the boy chased them, they dashed to the window using the boy's bed to LEAP out the window. They both crashed into Tim who softens their fall, they can hear through the window the boy calling out his mom that his pet Escape as the 3 of them ran off into the bushes

tsume pov)

once the coast was clear tsume told Carlos everything that had happened and also thanking him for saving her

"If it wasn't for you I wouldn't know what to do, but to be honest I kind of like being a fox"

"really? "

"yep, I keep getting compliments that I'm beautiful but who cares right"

she said with a chuckled as Carlos blushes

"well to me you are always beautiful no matter what you are"

There was silence between them until he got smacked with her tail sending him falling backward

"i'll take your compliment as a compliment"

she said as he laughed and tackled her as the two played only for tim to tell them to knock it off. They reunited with Miss Frizzle and the class, tsume was surprised that Janet was happy to see that tsume was okay which shocked her.

"Please turn me back I'll do whatever you want "

tsume beg Miss Frizzle chuckled and turned her, Carlos and Tim back to normal. When tsume told the class what happened to her and all the crazy things that she's been through. They told her that the guy was arrested for kidnapping Woodland creatures and selling them on to the black market. They said their goodbyes to Todd as they all got on the bus waiting to know what is their next adventure
