Kookie lay in his usual spot of his family’s tree. He was tired from playing with his little koala sister, Coco. Kookie laid down and relaxed. He eventually fell asleep after looking at the wind blow through the leaves of his family’s tree for a while. (His favorite way to relax) Coco dropped down from a higher part of the tree. “BIG BROTHER WAKE UP!!”, screamed Coco. Kookie woke up nearly falling out of the tree all together! “Coco!! What was that for?! Don’t scream at me next time, I nearly just fell out!” Kookie answered. Coco agreed. Kookie asked, “So what do you want Coco that was so important that you nearly made me die?” Coco said,”Just wanted to tell you. Mom got you this-” Coco held up a shiny rock. Kookie stopped in shock. “MOM GOT ME THIS?!” Kookie took the rock quickly, and a huge grin appeared on his face. “Yep. She felt bad about how you nearly died playing with me earlier.” (Coco is a dangerous koala. Don’t trust her with anything) “Tell mom I say thanks!” Kookie shouted as he crawled into the family tree. “Sure thing big brother!” Coco yelled.

Kookie looked at the beautiful object in his hand. He admired it. Kookie said, “This is about the coolest thing I’ve EVER seen!” He set it down. Coco came over to Kookie and screamed like always. “KOOKIE LETS GO PLAY SOMETHING NOW.” Kookie sat up at looked at Coco with some sort of death glare. “Fine…” Kookie answered. He got up lazily and climbed down where Coco was. “Cmon.” He grumbled. Kookie started climbing toward their normal play area. Coco climbed up to where Kookie was before she had yelled at him. She grabbed the shiny rock from where it lay. “This might be a good idea huh?” Coco sqaid to herself. She grinned and hid the rock under some leaves. “Let’s see how he reacts to when it’s *gone*.” Kookie shouted, “Are you coming?” Coco replied,”COMING!”

After playing for what seemed forever to Kookie. Kookie gave in and started to have some real fun, although he wasn’t in the best of moods. They played until their mom called them in for some dinner. Eating some eucalyptus leaves Kookies and Cocos mom asked Kookie about the rock. Kookie remembered about the rock. He freaked out so much that he nearly choked on his leaves. “Oh umm… I think I lo- I mean it’s in my room?” Kookies Mom replied,”Mmhmm.” And then mumbled something under her breath. Kookie asked to be excused from dinner. He ran (As fast as a koala could) around looking under stuff inside his home. “Where is it?! Maybe Coco knows. Maybe not. Oh no!” He ran to get Coco. “You’re gonna help me look. NOW!” Kookie said.  Coco and Kookie looked for while. Coco was now starting to get tired of this. “If I tell you where it is, will you chill out big brother?” Kookie froze. Another death glare was given to Coco from Kookie. Kookie was furious!!! “Grr…” Kookie grumbled. Coco laughed and lead the way. She came up to the pile of leaves she hid the rock in. Kookie closely followed. She dug through the pile. But she didn’t find anything other than leaves. Coco had a scared face on, for once in her life. Kookie looked at her very annoyed. “Where is it?” Kookie snapped. Coco said, “I don’t k-now.” Coco swallowed hard. Kookie and Coco looked at each other not sure what to do.

 

Kookie ripped through some leaves. “THIS IS YOUR FAULT, NOW WE ARE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!!!” Kookie snapped once again. “I’m sorry big brother!!! It was supposed to be a no-harm done prank!!” Coco whimpered. Kookie sighed. “I’m sorry too. I don’t know what got in me. You forgive me for yelling at you?” Coco answered, ” I forgive you, as long as you forgive me!” “Done. But now we have this issue. Finding the rock. We’ll work together okay?” “Okay.” They searched everywhere. Under rocks, Between rocks (So many rocks.) On trees. Basically ANYWHERE. Kookie sighed. “I give in…” “Me too…” Answered Coco. “Let’s go tell mom.” They walked to the family tree, climbed up and prepared to be grounded for the rest of their lives. “Mom, I think we lost that rock you have me…” Their mother chuckled. “Mom you okay?!” Coco asked. Kookies mother broke into full-up laughter. “You mean this? Right, my pair of sweets?” Kookies mother held up the rock. It seemed to shine brighter than ever. Kookie and Coco nodded. Kookies mother handed them the rock. “There you go my pair of sweets. Don’t lie to me next time honeybunch. Oh and Coco, my little princess, don’t play such pranks on your brother.” Their mother walked off. Kookie and Coco laughed along with their mother little joke. Kookie put the rock on the table. “I need to be more careful. For my own good…”
