(try to ignore the fact that I forgot the scarves in the first pic :x)
Quincy and Indy took off through the trees, practically flying. They moved fluidly and naturally through the forest, Quincy using his tail to catapult himself, and Indy using his limbs to propel himself forward. Exhilarated, Indy smiled and flung himself across a particularly large gap between two trees.
Without warning, Quincy stopped in his tracks. Indy, caught off guard, stopped a couple feet after him. “What’s wrong?” he asked, turning to look back at Quincy.
“We can’t leave without Gideon,” Quincy frowned. “He wants out of here just as much as we do. Plus, what are we going to do if we run into some birds? Neither of us would stand a chance.”
Indy felt a jolt of guilt. How could he have forgotten about Gideon? “We…we can’t go back now. We’d lose the element of surprise.” He frowned, “even if we could go back and find him in time, there’s no way he could keep up with us in the forest. He can’t exactly travel through the trees like we can…”
Quincy looked extremely sad, but he conceded that Indy was right. “We have to come back for him someday though…”
“We will. Someday.”
Reluctantly, Quincy continued on through the trees. Indy followed along behind him. Indy knew that this would be hard on Quincy; after all, Gideon was his best friend. Letting out a big sigh, Indy tried to feel the enjoyment of flying through the trees that he had before, but he couldn’t seem to recreate the feeling. He shook his head and looked forward, only to find himself colliding with a large, hard object, suspended in front of him. Stunned, Indy stumbled a bit, and promptly fell out of the tree.
“Oh Arceus!! I’m so sorry!!! I didn’t see you there!!” a frantic voice assaulted Indy’s ears. Indy groaned and sat up, only to be greeted by two huge, blue eyes.
Indy sighed, “hey Tyson.” He slowly got to his feet, checking to make sure nothing was broken. He’d taken plenty of harmless falls in his time, but there was still a chance of hurting himself.
Tyson scrambled all around Indy, murmuring apologies and shaking his head. “I’m really, really sorry. I was just practicing lifting some rocks with psychic.” He motioned to a large rock, sitting a couple feet away.
The young venonat was obviously distraught, and Indy knew he did not have time to deal with it. “Listen, Tyson, I need you to not tell anybody about this.”
Tyson looked confused. He cocked his head to one side, his large hat slipping slightly. “Not….tell anybody? Why?”
Quincy dropped down next to him. “Indy, you know this is useless. As soon as somebody looks at him the wrong way, all of this is gonna come spilling out.”
Tyson, startled by the sudden appearance of another one of his friends, is completely silent. Indy narrowed his eyes, “are you suggesting we…”
“Take him with us,” Quincy nodded. “If we don’t, our mothers will figure out what we’re up to right away. Tyson can’t keep his mouth shut and you know it.”
Indy sighed heavily, “Alright Tyson, you’re coming with us.”
“Bu-but…”
