Now you see him, now you don't.

This is getting good. Looks like the Toon Patrol have to find Kaa and fast before those air pirates do.

Okay guys, finally got the next chapter up. Please enjoy!

Chapter 8

“Hisssssss!”
Wheezy jumped up and screamed as he felt something slither across his back.
Psycho burst out laughing and waved a vine.
“Calm down Wheeze! It’s only a little vine!”
Wheezy grabbed the vine and snapped it in half. “DON’T DO THAT!”
“Now, now, Wheezy.” Hester said, “We don’t need to shout in here. Who knows what kind of dangerous wild animals live around here.”
Wheezy growled. Psycho looked at him.
“What makes you hate snakes so much?”
Wheezy frowned and looked away.
“Come on,” Hester said. “It’ll be better if you speak than hide those feelings in you.”
Wheezy turned. “All right! When I was a kid in the third grade, somebody brought a snake for Show-And-Tell. When the snake came in, I noticed the teacher become a little nervous and jumpy. The kid was about to feed a dead mouse to the snake, when suddenly, somehow the cage fell off and slammed into the ground, causing it to open.”
Psycho and Hester waited.
“And then?” Hester said.
Wheezy groaned. “The teacher screamed bloody murder and leapt on her chair. Then the snake began slithering around and slithered up my leg and tightened it’s coils around!”
Hester nodded. Psycho looked confused.
“Ssooo? What is that supposed to mean?”
“I think Wheezy’s experience with the snake,” Hester said, “along with the teachers reactions to snakes made him think that snakes are dangerous beings that should be feared. Is that right?”
Wheezy shrugged. Hester then grinned. “Well, don’t let the past take over you Wheezy. Who knows? Maybe you’ll learn to like snakes.”
Wheezy growled and stormed off. “I’m going to look over this way!”
He stormed through the bushes, swinging a stick and grumbling.
“Someday I’ll learn to like snakes. Hmmph! Yeah right! I’ll like snakes if they fall from the sky!”
A shadow suddenly fell over him. Wheezy looked up. Before he could think, something landed straight on his face and wrapped around his snout. Yellow eyes met his blueish eyes. Wheezy’s mind went into a panic. The only thing he can think of was…
“There’s a snake on my head!”

Okay, I added a new chapter up. Sorry for the delay, been pretty busy over the past weeks.

Chapter 9

Wheezy didn’t know how long he was standing there with the snake on his head. Only when the snake started to move, did he snapped. He jumped and screamed. Kaa wrapped himself around Wheezy, holding on while Wheezy ran blindly in terror. Unfortunately, he wasn’t looking where he was going and ran into a tree. Wheezy saw stars, then everything went black.

Kovu burst through the bushes and raced over to Greasy, Psycho, Stupid, Fidget and Hester.
“Kovu! Where were you?!” Greasy exclaimed. Before Kovu could answer, Smart Guy burst through, panting hard. “Is Kaa here?”
“Uh…no.” Stupid said, looking confused.
Smart Guy looked around. “Where is he?! He should have been here!”
“That reminds me,” Hester spoke up. “Wheezy went off by himself.”
“What?!” Smart Guy yelped. “But there are pirates all over searching for us! We have to--”
Before he even the sentence, Air Pirates began to surround them all over. The weasels, Fidget, Kovu and Hester looked around. They were trapped.

“Wheezy…”
Wheezy slowly opened his eyes and blinked. A ghostly figure of Hester was floating above him.
“Wheezy,” The ghostly Hester spoke. “You must get back to us right away. We’re trapped by the pirates. Bring the snake along.”
Wheezy groaned. “But Hester, I hate snakes!”
Hester’s eyes flashed. “DO YOU WANT US TO BECOME PRISONERS OF THE PIRATES?!”
Wheezy blinked and sighed. “No. I’ll bring the snake along.”
Hester nodded. “One more thing…”
He raised a paw and swatted Wheezy’s head.

“OW!” Wheezy yelped, sitting up. He looked around. He was back in the jungle, with Kaa sitting on his lap, staring up at him. Wheezy glared down at him. He growled.
“C’mon snake! We’re going!”
