"Ashes to ashes and dust to dust; in Mother earth, we place our trust, and as we cycle through our years, we water it with blood and tears."
"Mars, don't cry. It'll be alright. We have made it."
*Dunk, dunk*
"COMING!! Just give me a…..Falcon? What brings you all this way? Falcon, why don't you…."
"I don't have much time. Here, help me with Mars."
"Mars? You mean Anela's elephant? If you're part of the kidnapping then I….."
"I am not part of the kidnapping. I am part of the rescue. Now stand there with your arms outstretched."
"Falcon, look. That car is going awfully fast. This is a 40mph speed zone. He is pushing 70."
"Oh no. Hurry."
"What…what….what's happening."
"Mars, this will be your new home. Be good to Mr. Vanilla."
"He is the elephant. Falcon, you know I don't even have any elephant cages. What am I supposed to…..*Huuph*.....Heavy little bugger aint he!!"
"Here's his cycle. There is nothing much to it. He practically takes care of himself. Just remember to talk to him every day and make him feel special."
"Talk to him? That's more Anelas thing. Have you forgotten how I operate?"
"Look, I wouldn't be coming to you if this wasn't a dire situation. You see that car headed towards us?"
"Uhuh?"
"That car….is here for him, and he is here for you. You are the only one standing in the way of Bones putting the cherry on top."
"That….you're saying Anelas tent really did burn down, all just to get this little guy?"
"Please. Now go. I'll distract him. Here, toss me one of your clown props. I'll put it in the back and a blanket over top. Maybe it'll fool them for a bit but long enough for you to hide his scent. I'm counting on you."
"Since when did you turn into Mr. serious?"
"Listen to me!!!!!!"
"Okay, okay. I'm going."
"I love you, Mars."
*Muarrchh…*
*Wayyyhhh*
"Hurry, Falcon. They're over the final hill. May God be with you."
"And he with you."
"There he is. Step on it Bones."
"Wait, do you think that Falcon could've given Mars to Vanilla?"
".........No!! I can see a piece of Mars cycle sticking out from Falcon's truck. After him."
"There they go. It's okay little guy. Let's get you inside.
GIRLS, WE HAVE A NEW VISITOR STAYING WITH US. COME ON OUT."
"Who was that? Is he gone? Is it a puppy? Is it a kitty? Is it a new circus animal, or is it…..Mars?"
