"Then I met Elle. Ever since, we've just stuck together. Crash and Eddy taught me how to how to hang and I soon became half possum." I finished. Diego was a really good listener.
"I'm glad Sid asked for you to join us." He blurted out, before blushing and looking away. I laughed, pinching his cheeks.
"Me too." He turned back to me. He began to lean in. Me copying.
"Boy, Manny sure did take a big leap with Elle today!" Sid interrupted. We quickly pulled away, blushing furiously.
"Speaking of Sid." Diego sighed. I held back my laugh.
"I'll let you two speak. Plus, I'm getting tired." I got up, biding them goodnight. Walking over to a nearby tree, I curled up in small ball, trying to gather warmth. Crash and Eddy sat around a small pile of twigs, trying to lit a fire, but failing miserably.
"Use flint and steal." I told them, closing my eyes. Seconds later, I felt the air get warmer. Opening my eyes slightly, I saw the pile of twigs alight. "Nice job." I muttered, before feeling myself fall into a deep sleep.

"Elle, I'm exhausted!" I moaned, walking beside her sleepily. "It's been a long day! Can't we just sleep?"
"And you call yourself a possum!" Crash said, disgusted, whilst Eddy tutted. I growled at them.
"I have never said I was a possum." I snapped. They let a 'humph!' and turned their backs. We had been walking for over an hour by now.
Elle woke up up, not even ten minutes after falling asleep. Ten minutes!
Time went on and I was beginning to perk up a bit. Crash and Eddy were scouting up ahead. I wasn't sure where we were to be honest. Fog blocked most of the view. I walked with Diego and Sid, careful to feel my way around, avoiding stumps and rocks, unlike Sid.
"What do you want a medal?" I heard Eddy ask as we drew closer to them. Suddenly, they disappeared, falling into the fog.
"Crash! Eddy!" I shouted, running towards them. The ground under us lifted slightly, slanting. Elle and Manny were panicking causing the rock to shake. I leaned over slightly, seeing Crash and Eddy under us on another rock.
"Stop moving!" I heard Diego shout. Elle and Manny froze, stopping the rock from causing any more damage. I let out a sigh of relief, thinking it was over.
However, Mother Nature took a turn for the worse as a rock under us crumbled. I lost my footing and fell, screaming. I hit the platform Crash and Eddy were sat on, clinging to each other. I whimpered, feeling a pain in my left front paw.
"Keri!" Diego, Manny and Elle shouted.
"I'm-I'm okay!" I shouted back. I heard some rocks crumbling.
"Manny, Elle, lock trunks!" Diego ordered. Elle scoffed. "Now!" They did so, holding the rocks in place. Diego looked down at me, Crash and Eddy.
"Crash, Eddy, grab onto that ledge. Keri, make sure they don't fall!" Crash and Eddy took one glance at the edge, then the ground below us. They laughed.
"Funny!" Crash stated, before glaring as Eddy pouted knowing he wasn't joking. "Now what's your real plan?"
"Just do it!" Diego grunted.
"Come on, guys! Either that or we all die!" I snapped as I reached out for the ledge.
"Goodbye Eddy!" Crash whimpered.
"Goodbye Crash!"
"Goodbye Elle!"
"Goodbye Keri!"
"Enough already! Help me!" I latched onto the rocky ledge, stopping the rocks from moving. I felt Crash and Eddy hold my back legs for support.
