"Um, where *croak* is she?" Annie wanted to know.
"How weird she can't have *arf* gotten far" Lucy added while searching the garden.
Sophie had already made her way up a tree to better survey her surroundings and it wasn't long before she found what she had been looking for.
"*Ook* get out of there Laura *eek* come back!"
But the racoon girl was already out of earshot and quickly dissapearing from the relative safety of her home and into the distance. She had been far to distracted by the treasure trove of trash she had chanced upon to even notice that the vehicle she had climbed onto was moving.
The driver hadn't noticed his stowaway either and was obliviously continuing on his journey.
