Gabi had an idea to have a raft to get off the boat but she is about to throw her bike in

Gabi: wow Guys! We're so in sync!

The raft drowned when she threw her bike in despite the kinkajous' protests to not

Gabi: I thought it could hold it.

Vivo groans in frustration and rants about how they're not in sync when Emilie had an idea she built some sort of sail but of course Gabi took the credit because she mostly helped Emilie

Gabi: hey Vivo look!

Vivo looked at the sail

Vivo: yeah, that will never float.

They pushed the sail into the water

Gabi: let the journey begin!

Gabi threw Vivo and then Emilie onto the sail

Vivo and Emilie: ahhhh!!!

Vivo: it floats. It actually floats.

Gabi tried to jump to the sail but missed completely and laughed

Gabi: hahaha!! I missed the boat COMPLETELY!

Emilie just burst out laughing while Vivo chuckled as Gabi got onto the sail

————

They are going to the Everglades as Vivo sighed

Vivo: the plan was get to a bus
Next thing you know, the three of us
Are floating, drifting somewhere new
She said, "we'd take a shortcut."
I'm tryna be a good sport, but
I just don't see how we make it through

Vivo looked at Emilie and remembered when him, Andres, and Emilie were singing together one day before they broke up.

Vivo: Remember the size of the world before
It was you and I, just you and I
And now the horizon holds so much more
It's do or die
Yeah, it's do or die

All i can do when the road bends
Is lean into the curve
All I can do when the tank's run dry
Is see what's in reserve
And all I can do when the plans break down
Is play on, play on
And keep the beat

Vivo is frightened when he hears the jungle sounds. Emilie looked at him in concern. She still hates it when someone is sad or scared like she did when she met Vivo. Even if Vivo broke her heart years ago, she still hated him being scared.

Emilie: Vivo? Are you okay?

Vivo: *shaken up* Y-yeah j-just a little s-scared

Emilie hugged him for comfort as Gabi took a picture, earning a glare from the white kinkajou

Gabi: hey, I can sing Tio's song. That will cheer us up. *rapping* I am here, just on another shore. Always in your corner, watching you soar. *beatboxing horribly*

Emilie separated from Vivo

Emilie: that's absolutely so horrible that it's gonna be in my nightmares tonight

Vivo chuckled. Emilie always found a way to make him laugh when he was sad or scared. Actually, she knew he was scared so she tried to make him laugh. She succeeded.

Gabi: Drumming's in my blood. I can teach you both if you want.

Emilie smirked

Emilie and Vivo: you're gonna teach us how to do drums?

Gabi: here guys. Try a simple beat.

She drummed horribly

Vivo: That thing you're doing is noise. Observe.

Vivo and Emilie drummed way better than Gabi

Gabi: wow. You're fast learners. I must be a really good teacher.

Emilie: uh-huh.

Vivo: I see...potential. Raw talent.

Emilie: I must be blind then. I don't see any raw talent.

Vivo chuckled again

Gabi: c'mon Vivo and Emilie. Let loose Grandpa and grandma.

Vivo: Grandpa? Could a grandpa do this?!

Emilie: grandma? Apparently you forgot who you were talking to haha!

Emilie jumped on a branch and drummed rhythmically and she used her tail to swing to another branch and drummed on that one.

Vivo and Emilie: remember the size of the world before
Now it's you and I, just you and I
And now the horizon holds so much more
And it's do or die
Yeah, it's do or die

Vivo: All i can do when the road bends
Is lean into the curve
All I can do when the tank's run dry
Is see what's in reserve

And all I can do when the plans break down
Is stay on my feet
And all I can do at the end of the day is play on
Play on, and keep the beat

Gabi: c'mon! You can't stop now! Let's keep the beat going partner!

Vivo: not the beat. Not my partner.

Emilie laughed, and then there was thunder and Vivo was frightened a little, concerning Emilie.

Gabi: It's okay Vivo. Just a little drizzle. I bet it'll blow over.

Then it turned into a huge storm and the song got out of Vivo's hat

Gabi: I got it!

Vivo and Emilie: no no no! We got it!

Gabi: hey! I can't see!

Gabi grabbed the song

Gabi:  don't worry guys! I got it!

Vivo: the song?

Gabi: I'll keep it safe Guys! I promise!

Emilie: Gabi!

They rushed to her but they weren't able to catch up with her as the wind blew them away............
