Ships and sailboats

Turning on the screen as it started out as static, then to blur in images of a blue shaggy carpet with wiggling toe‘s with claws kneading into the carpet. “Is that your new camera?” A feminine voice came from the otherside of the kitchen, the camera turns upward, zooming in through the living room to the kitchen. A female mouse adjusting the focus turning towards her, [description] with piercing’s up her nose and ears her top visible as it was a tanktop with pink sparkling glitter all along the sides curling around making a design and a name. “Ha! it works.. Ya just got it in the mail.. Ha [mouse] you look so weird in this.” a males voice came from behind the camera. Lifting a coffee cup up to her lips as her other paw lifted up showing her middle finger to him, walking out from behind the kitchen counter showing her baggy pants on with no shoes.

Her tail swaying behind her as she walked her fur messed and bunched up in places showing that she had just woken up. “You look weird all the time..” The camera wobbles as the recorder walks over towards her, “Ya.. but I’m a good kind of weird right?” A smirk cracked along her muzzle as she pushed him away gently, “Only sometimes..” Cackling came from the door across from the kitchen another females voice as a lemur [description] herm came out of hir bedroom with a pair of his boxers on with a bulging death mushroom on the front and a game over on the back were hir tail came out at. “You‘re one of those that is some kind of weird [name of male]” The camera turned to the lemur as she walked over to [mouse] snatching the coffee cup from her paw and sipping it, before giving it back to her.

 “Hey! There is some still made in the kitchen [name of lemur] back off ma’ coffee!” [Name of lemur] snickered, “Well just wanted to make sure it was fresh..” Hir eyes soon looked toward [male] and tilted hir head slightly as shi had some excitement of hir own in the morning, “Please don‘t tell me your recording.” A mischievous smile crossed [mouse] face as she wrapped her arms around [Lemur]’s waist. “We wanted to surprise you with [males name] daily adventures and today you’re in the adventure!” [Lemur] shivered and covered hirself with hir paws and wiggled scooting across the floor away from the camera, “Turn that off!! I‘m not even dressed!! Jerks!” [mouse]’s grip would loosen but grabbed her cup of coffee and cradled it in her paws like a lover. “That‘s what ya get for messen with ma coffee!! [male‘s name] get hir!!”

 The camera bounced chasing around as [male, mouse] laughed while the camera bounced around the livingroom after [lemur] before chasing hir towards hir bedroom door slammed shut in front of the camera slightly bumping into it. [male] chuckled “aaahh! And thus the exotic bouncaroo has escaped the sight of the majestic and amazing” [mouse] shouted from the living room, “and late!” The camera turned to the clock on the wall before quickly bouncing around down the hallway to another bedroom, “Shit shit shit shit! Alright well [lemur, mouse] when everyone else wakes up can you two get a video of everyone for me?”

 A mumbling of agreement could be heard in the distance, as the camera was tilted pointing towards the bedroom door. [male] tail could be seen swaying back and forth out the corner of the screen while he dressed. Running out the doorway, “love you bye catch you later on!” the camera laid there recording. A distant voice’s could be heard almost in whispers, [lemur]“is he gone?” [mouse] “Ya he‘s gone..” [lemur] “he is weird and crazy you know?” [mouse] “ya.. But he‘s the sweetest and the best kind of weird” giggling from both of the females in the living room as it was silent for a moment as [lemur] walked in front of the doorway holding a coffee cup from the kitchen. “Ya he is.. I just feel bad for him though.. Ya know?” Silence fell for a while [mouse], “We have to tell him about us sometime..” [lemur]

 “I know.. I feel so horrible about this, it will break him to know..” [mouse]“Yeah, but sooner we tell him the better it will be it will hurt less.” [lemur] “Yeah.. Tonight, Tonight we got to tell him promise?” [mouse] the camera continued recording as the day went on, getting glimpses of everyone that lived in the household. Getting ready for work, playing around watching movies, then sitting down on the couch watching a movie [lemur and mouse] held each other cuddling.

The hour was growing late, as [lemur and mouse] stayed up in the living room both laying on the couch being in each others arms. Both still clothed waiting for [male] to get home from work [lemur] eyes were getting heavy drifting in and out of sleep before finally falling asleep behind [mouse] as shi was against the back of the couch. [Mouse] eyes stayed open thinking to herself as she wondered where he was, usually came home late but every time she looked at the clock upon the wall it was getting later and later in the night. He was never out for so long, usually coming home from work at a late hour then headed to bed.

 Her eyes were heavy, but her claws kept pinching and scratching against her arms to keep herself awake. The room went dark, for a moment to her shooting her eyes open as daybreak was shining through the window and into her eyes. Flinching a bit finding herself on the ground with a blanket covering her, lifting up from the ground noticing a blanket over [lemur] as well. Hir mouth wide open as shi snored loudly laying on hir back every once in a while saying random things about cupcakes, other treats. [Mouse] smiled before looking around seeing nothing else had been moved, but [male] door was wide open. Slowly crawling on all fours before standing up leaning her head into the room to see if he had gotten back yet.

The bed was a mess, [male] bedroom was in a wreck clothing and everything tossed around. Her eyes wide never seeing his room in such a state, but her eyes would widen even more as she noticed a stain that was found in different spots of his room. Walking over to each of the spots in disbelief before looking around the room frantically looking for him. “[males name repeated ]” she yelled out, “where are you?!” [Lemur] snorted then coughed falling off the couch rolling to the edge hitting the ground with a thud and humph. Hir eyes shot open before bouncing up to hir feet in a fighting stance with hir fists up to hir face. Hir eyes looked around, before seeing [mouse] tail swatting back and forth in [male] room.

 Walking over to her and leaned into through the doorway, “hey.. Whats going on?” Hir eyes widened seeing the mess of his room. “ooo [male] is going to be mad at you hun messing up his room like this.” [Mouse] turned around with a bloody shirt in tears, “[lemur]… [male] hurt.. his” her throat was getting choked up, “his room was.. Was like this when I woke up” her paws gripping his shirt close to her. [lemur] jaw dropped and began shouting out, “[male]!!!”  repeatedly running around to the bathroom and opening up all the doors shi could find. [Mouse] ran out of the room with his shirt close to her as she clung to it, grabbing her cellphone quickly calling his number.

 Tears forming in her eyes as she sniffled both in anger and in fear that he could be laying somewhere dead. [lemur] stormed into each of the rooms to wake everyone up shouting at everyone. “Wake up you lazy shits!! Emergency emergency get your asses to the living room now now now now now!!” Growling and throwing their pillows at hir, and some ran after hir in enraged for the wake up. Soon as each one grumpily reached to the living room seeing [mouse] holding a bloody shirt. Each one ran over to her, “are you okay?.. Wait isn‘t that [male‘s] shirt?” [mouse] could only look up at them in tears dialing and redialing his number each time going to voicemail.

 [male] voicemail said, “beep beep this is  [male] phone guess what? Yup that’s right I‘m not available right now I will get a hold of you soon though so leave your name number and a awesome message then when your done spin around jump on one leg and when your finished singing a song that will be epic and amazing! I will get back with you.. Muauahhahahhaa I‘ll know if you do it or not cause you know how? Cause.. I‘m behind you.” the message ended each time hearing the voicemail message she held the shirt to her body even closer. [Mouse] repeating to herself in a whisper, “pick up pick up pick up please pick up.”

 [Lemur] ran into the living room as everyone was scattered around looking for him repeating everywhere [lemur] had looked before they stood in the living room. “Has anyone heard anything from him?” almost like clock work everyone ran to their cell phones to look for any missed calls or texts. Walking to the living room, “Nothing.” each one replied almost in the same horrid tone getting a cold chill down their backs. “Has anyone called the hospitals?” [vixen] the silence said everything as [panther, vixen, raccoon] began looking in the phone book for the hospitals nearby.

 [Mouse] stayed on the couch still calling his phone obsessively clinging to his shirt like it was her own security blanket. [lemur, chinchilla, equine, jackrabbit, gryphon, cow, cerebus, bear, beaver, otter] ran out the door to search anywhere nearby incase he was still close. Calling all the hospitals they could find none had his name down as a patient in the ER, or was emitted into urgent care. The night was falling soon as they still heard nothing from him, running around everywhere they could looking for him in every street or alley way they could find. [mouse] calling his cell phone listening to his voice in his voicemail, soon only getting his voicemail meaning his phone was dead. She only moved to his room and curled up in his bedding having as much of his things that held his scent on them around her on the bed making a cocoon with his things.

 Only her ears peeked out of being buried in his things. Walking through the door each one had their heads hung low, each time the door opened up [mouse] jumped out of the bed and out of the room standing there with her cellphone grasped in her paws. Each time they would look up at her shaking their heads, it had been hours almost a full day they had been looking. Gathering in the kitchen at the table staring down at the table a quiet sip from cups and placing them back down onto the table was the only thing heard. [Mouse] each time disappointed and walked back into his room squeezing herself back into the pile listening to his voice and whispering to herself as if he could hear her. “I‘m sorry please come back, I‘m sorry please come back.”

 Silent tears were being shed, before [raccoon] spoke up a lump in [] throat, “Wh-why didn’t he wake us up?“ [cerebus left head] “why do you think?! He knows we all have job‘s and things to do” slamming their fists on the table. [cerebus right head] “He always looks out for every one of us.. Always saying he doesn‘t want to be a bother.” each one began an uproar yelling and cursing at the other as if one of them were to blame for this to happen. Each one standing up while yelling and pointing at one another, [cerebus center head] spoke out with a yell at first “SHUT UP!” very rarely [cerebus center head] talked out in a loud voice, she looked at everyone even the other two were surprised and went silent.

 Tears were slowly coming down her face ”I’m.. I’m sorry..“ Her head lowered slightly ”Wha-what.. Do you think happened..” Silence fell quickly each one sitting back down in their seats getting views of what could have happened a mix of sadness and rage brewing in their stomach‘s. [Gryphon] stood up walking to the fridge and began taking out some items to make something to eat. [Raccoon] glanced over at [Gryphon], ”What are you doing?” She gestured to the time, “H-he wouldn‘t want us to go on a empty stomach..” [bear, beaver] stood up and began helping with making some food for them, everyone wanted to argue with it, but at the same time were hungry from going almost all day without something to eat.

 [mouse] stayed in his room, [lemur] stood up and slowly walked over to his bedroom doorway glancing around as a cold chill went up hir spine making hir sick in the stomach. Even slower making hir way into his bedroom noticing the camera on the floor. Shi crouched down picking it up seeing it had a dead battery looking around for the charger. [Mouse’s] ear twitched hearing someone near, she stayed in the cocoon lifting her paw up moving a part of the blanket watching [lemur]. [Lemur] plugged in the camera before turning it on as it charged rewinding it hoping to see what happened if the camera caught him on video.

 The camera started showing [mouse and lemur] on the couch sleeping [mouse] rolled off the couch and humped curling up to the couch, [lemur] had tears in his eyes as shi watched.  His figure walked over to the couch holding his stomach and chest, he stood there watching them sleep. Limping his body to the bedroom his body out of focus as he held something against his body. Limping to his closet near the doorway taking two blanket’s and made his way back to them. Covering them up with the blanket’s then making his way back to the bedroom he almost fell but held himself up by the door way panting heavily.

 [Lemur‘s] eyes were falling with tears as shi seen him look directly into the camera with a soft smile. Reaching for the camera as both him and the camera fell to the floor laying on his stomach he curled up tears running down his face. He tilted his head up at the camera blood was in his mouth and all over his clothing “Hey.. Guys…” His eyes looked up then back down at the camera, “I‘m sorry…if I have ever done anything to wrong you guys..” panting as he slowly began taking off his shirt grabbing another off the bed wrapping it around his chest, his breaths were getting quick but he was trying to slow them down, pushing himself up off the ground.

 “If I don‘t make it.. I love you guys.. All of you..” [Mouse] jumped from the cocoon and grabbed the camera from [Lemur] that was crying heavily. [Mouse] yelling at the camera at his image, “I‘m sorry I‘m sorry!!” Hearing the yelling, his voice everyone stopped what they were doing and ran into his bedroom looking at the camera trying to push everyone out of the way to see him. “Guys.. I dunno if I did something right finally or really stupid” he looked down at the camera, “I‘m sorry guys… please if I don‘t make it.. Take care of each other.. I love you all more than you know.”

 his eyes looked deep into the lens at them all, “This is [male‘s name] and I want you all to be happy.. And yes… I” the video caught out [mouse] shook the camera yelling at it before rewinding it and re-watched it just to see him everyone watched. Cold chills ran all through their bodies [lemur] stayed on the floor crying with hir paws over hir face. That night they all stayed in his room sleeping on the floor, on his bed sticking close to his bed. [mouse] stayed up rewinding the camera as it was plugged in to keep a charge, watching at the beginning when he first turned on the camera and was recording to the end. Fast forwarding it through the day only wanting to see him and hear his voice. It was 4:21am when the phone rang in the living room, it was to the second ring before [mouse] jumped up and ran to it picking up the phone.

 “[MALE!?]” she quickly yelled out hoping, a females voice came over the receiver. “I‘m sorry, this is [hospital] so this is [males last name] residence?” [mouse] cried heavily, “Oh god.. You found him!? How is he?! Where is this?!” [cow] ear twitched and looked around before seeing [mouse] on the phone crying. Quickly jumping off the bed as she stepped on a few of the others to get out of the room. They were waking up a few at a time before running into the living room quickly bumping into everything to get out of the room. “Is he okay?! Is that him? Where is he?” they began bombarding [mouse] on the phone as the other on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment as she could hear the others asking questions.

 “He is in urgent care right now this is [hospital] our address is [address to hospital] I‘m sorry for calling so late, but he gave us a big scare but for now he is stable. Visitor hours are in about two more hours if you would like to come in and see him he may be awake by then.” [Mouse] quickly wrote down the address, as soon as she was writing the address [beaver and otter] both bolted to the computers to get the location of the hospital. Printing out the directions, as [equine, jackrabbit and chinchilla] ran changing their clothing and grabbing their keys for their vehicles.

 [mouse] sniffling holding her face wiping her tears and listened to the lady on the other side of the phone. “Okay thank you, thank you, thank you so much.. Be there as soon as possible.” lady upon the other side of the phone, “Alright if you plan on coming early you will have to wait in the waiting room the guard will let you in at the doors. His room number right now is 213A” [mouse] wrote down his room number putting it into her pocket. “Thank you..” the phone hung up as she turned her head her lips quivering, “He.. He is stable, and in the urgent care..” [otter and beaver] both announced, “the hospital isn't close by it's actually clear across the city if we go we can get there in a few minutes” bunching together as each one grabbed their keys to the house, then headed out the door locking it behind them.

 Once one vehicle was filled the other would be stuffed both having either [otter or beaver] inside giving the directions. Their tires squealed as both vehicles were speeding against the clock they had two hours to get there. Arriving at the hospital at the same time, they stood at the vehicles looking at the hospital nervous as to see what kind of condition he was in. But slowly they walked into the hospital, being directed to the waiting room as some sat watching tv trying to get their mind off what was happening. Others paced back and forth unable to sit still for long. [Mouse and Lemur] stood by the doorway looking out in the hallway watching everyone coming in and out moving around the hallways. The beeps and buzzers sounding making each of their ears perk up and stare at the doorway.

 [Lemur and Mouse] staying by the door, their eyes pealed out staring at each person passing by the waiting room. As time went on soon it was time that visitors could come visit the patients. It was time everyone stormed out of the waiting room crowding the hallway, making their way down the hall. Coming to his room the curtain close over his window, but when they opened up the door. [male] laid quietly on the hospital bed oxygen was being fed into his muzzle, as a iv was in his arm giving him medicine and keeping his body hydrated. Two light white blankets covered his body, as he laid there resting. A [] nurse was inside his room checking his vitals, and his iv intake.

 Turning around as [nurse] looked towards the group, “Hello, seem's like he's going to be the popular type please only three visitors at a time…” In his bed by his side a [] child was with him her arm over his stomach half her body was under the blankets covering both their body‘s. She had a hospital gown on as well with a iv in her arm as well. Her fur was short, with some of her fur shaved having bandages here and there. She clung to his side sleeping along with him, her eyes looked to be wet slightly from her tears. [Mouse, Lemur, Cerebus] slowly walked inside as they others stood at the door way staring at him, and the little one holding onto him.

 [Grpyhon, bear, cow] walked off steamed with rage as they paced back and forth in the waiting room. Soon the rest followed along sitting in the chairs, watching tv, tried to keep calm. [Mouse] stood by his side before sitting down in the chair pulling it close to his bed. [Cerebus] stood on the opposite side, [lemur] stood behind [mouse] hir paw touching her shoulder. [mouse] turned to lemur with her lip quivering holding hir paw on her shoulder. “How did this happen?.. How is he? Who is that?” [lemur] asked the nurse, the nurse turning finishing up his readings. “They both came in together.. He was carrying her at the time when they arrived he didn't get to tell us they both looked pretty rough.. She recovered quickly and a hour ago then she disappeared from her room and finally she was found here with him…” The nurse looked to the three, “are they related perhaps? She hasn‘t said anything about what happened.. It was a while before we could get his vitals stable… he had lost a lot of blood but he seems to be doing much better now.”

[male] walked through the door being both held and half carried, [otter] holding the door open for everybody. [male] looked around at the house and chuckled very softly, "The place looks like a mess" he jokingly said being carried and held up taking him to the living room very carefully onto the couch. "You guy's have a party?" Everyone slightly smiled hearing a joke from him but looked more serious and worried as he began coughing. Soon slowly lowering him down to the couch as he let out a tired and exhausted breath. His eyes closing slowly before popping open looking around, "hey.. guys.. i'm fine. i'll be fine" looking at their faces seeing their worry. A smile was upon his face while looking at everyone, "I'm a little tired.. I guess I'll rest here.. for a bit ha ha" his laugh was forced as his eyes closed falling asleep almost immediately.


[
Chuckling lightly, “Alright, come on guys come on. I want to get at least one shot of everybody together..” a mumbling of annoyance could be heard in the background as the group would wonder together getting closer.
