Near Death...

Today Charlie and I sat down to watch a movie. Half way through the movie everything started shaking, the computer, the table, the clock, our chair, us.. everything... We knew what was coming. We had asked for this. And slowly with the shake came a dull "THUD" ... "THUD".... Oh yes, Rudy was out. Charlie looked at me, I looked at him.... Our eyes did the talking. We have to take cover. We rose ever slowly as to not make any disturbance.. and inched our way to a cave nearby... We waited... the footsteps came closer.. and closer and closer still until we could see Rudys shadow block the entrance. We held our breathe... He wont hear us.. he wont see us.. he will leave. But dunno whether it was the Fishy smell from Charlie or the Cashew smell from me that gave us away.. but the next instant Rudys eyes were staring at us.. Oh no.... We have to go further into this horrible 'Cave of Crap'... Have to get away from Rudy... We ran... Rudy roared and started following us... Run Run Run.. He can very well catch up with us... Oh no again... Water. The 'River of Ruckus'. What do we do now?? Charlie nor me knew how to swim. We looked around frantically. I spotted a peice of wood and hopped on. Charlie climbed onto my shoulder and we pushed ourselves out into the fast flowing River. Using the wood as a raft we went gliding along the river fast and outta control. Rudy was still strong on our trail... We maneuvered our raft over rocks and other floating debris.... Charlie's claws dug into my shoulder blades, my hands white from gripping the wood.. We banged into the walls.. ran into muck.. but nothing could stop us. Charlie used his claws to snap away hanging wines.. faster and faster we slid.. and narrower and narrower the cave got... Rudy is never gonna make it through this cave... we knew we could get away if we got to the other end where the cave opens into a fall before he caught up with us. There up ahead.. Daylight... Go GO GOOOO...... Rudy knew we were getting away.. he pushed up his speed and his thumps in the water made waves hard to hold on to.. Oh NOOOOOO... we are overturning..... we are floating..... Rudys getting closer. I grab Charlie and try to swim towards the opening... but out of nowhere theres Rudy right in front of us blocking our getaway. Now what do we do??? He roars... He opens his mouth and charges towards us... Oh wow.. Out of a sudden Brain wave Charlie twists his tail tight and dips it in water and releases it.. It works like a propeller.... and we whoosh away from between Rudy's legs.. his head follows and he topples over... we get to the opening and are thrown out.. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.... Oh thanks to my oversize t-shirt we glide in the wind..and get to the other side safe.... and there from behind us comes a whimper.. Rudy's head is stuck in the opening.... We have escaped........ Yeah.....Whoooo.. that was some scary experience....
We get back and catch the rest of Ice Age 3... with no one to disturb us... NO ONE at all...
