*Mike hesitates, gritting his teeth.*
Mike: Oh, the path back home goes past.. that burning tree.

*Mike observes as the tree, having fallen over, blazes on.*

*Mike sweats nervously as he dashes past the burning tree.*

*Mike’s ears perk up as he hears a voice.*
Lily: Oh god oh god..

*Mike turns back, fear in his eyes.*
Mike: ?

*A figure on the other side of the tree comes into view.*

*Lily struggles to pull the unconscious body of a bird.*
Mike: Wait.. a hedgehog?

*Lily pauses, glancing up to see Mike.*

*Mike looks on in concern.*
Lily: Don’t just stand there! Help me!

*Lucy, still in her house, glances behind her shoulder out the window.*
Lucy: Is that smoke?

*Yashy grins.*
Yashy: Smokey the bear will save the day with his smokey powers!

*Chirpy looks worried.*
Chirpy: Is somethin’ bad outside?
Lucy: I’m sure it’s all fine.
*Yashy looks exasperated.*
Yashy: Weren’t you listening?

Yashy: Smokey the friggin’ BEAR will save the day!

Yashy: Be on your best behavior, ’kay?
*Chirpy looks fretful.*
Chirpy: What if I’m not?
Yashy: He’ll eat you!

Mike: Lucy.. please help him..
*Lucy stands in the doorway, surprised by the sight.*

*Lucy’s surprise changes to concern.*
Lucy:

Author commentary

Veronica: So the burning tree wasn’t meant to be a full-on joke, it actually has a point! CONSEQUENCES HAPPEN..

How nice of Lily to pull this bird out from possibly becoming roasted! Though he’s also in the rain so.. roasted wet bird? Gross..

Blur was the wounded bird in the rain who started it all.
