Nex, Sojie, and Maddie loaded up their spy kits with their contractible bows and arrows, willow bark compressors, herb clippers, and packs of food. “Mmmmm.” said Nex. “I can’t wait.”
Out of the corner of her eye, Sojie saw Nex sneak a couple of candy bars into his kit. “Nex!” she scolded. “Those won’t help keep you fit, will they?.”
Nex looked guilty. “I need some extra power for the extra mission.”
“Trey......!” began Sojie,
“Hey! Don’t you dare call me by my real name!”
Sojie snickered and Nex pushed Sojie playfully.
Sojie saw Maddie sulking in the back, “You miss your brother, don’t you?” she said as she put her arm around Maddie to comfort her. “Hey, cheer up! He has to turn up sooner or later.” Maddie grunted. Maddie still didn’t believe he was alive.
“Alright, we’re all ready for the mission!” called Nex as he finished strapping the kits to Cilia and Sojie’s zebracorn, Doxia.
“Oh no!” exclaimed Sojie suddenly. “What will Maddie ride?”
“We have extra zebras,” Nex said. “I rented one from the zebra merchant, her name is Beauty.”
Maddie swung up on the big zebra with a blue horn, and unusual color.
“How come her horn is blue, instead of pink and purple?” Maddie asked with a look of confusion.
Sojie shrugged, “Probably a birth disorder, but she is really fast, you’ll love her!”
“Stop dawdling guys!” Nex exclaimed, “Were on a mission, not a play ground!”
Sojie rolled her eyes. “He’s usually the one who’s goofing off. He is just showing off.” Maddie laughed, and all three took off in a steady gallop. Sojie leaned forward and hung on, she was almost in front of Maddie, Nex suddenly stopped and stared, he slipped off and ran towards a cave.
