"You guys want to see my newest game? It?s called Slide Skiing," suggested Patricia.
"How does it work?" asked Mocha.
"You put these skis on and go down this slide," said Patricia before doing so.
"Well it sounds safer than Kite Bowling but I don?t know how much safer," pondered Mocha.
"Besides, what about the straight part of the skis? Won?t they get stuck at the end?" asked Truffle.
"Nope, this slide doesn?t curve upwards, allowing you to straighten out," replied Patricia.
"I still don?t know if I like it," repeated Mocha.
"Excuse me but are you guys busy? I?m new here," called Caramel Coconut.
"Hi. Who are you?" asked Galapeno.
"I?m Caramel Coconut," replied Caramel.
"You can turn around. We?re all friends here," assured Mocha.
"I know but I love walking backwards. It lets you see my rump jiggle," explained Caramel.
"It is pretty large," remarked Mocha.
"Thanks," replied Caramel before wiggling it.
"Sure makes you stand out against the rest of us but how do you see?" asked Galapeno.
"I don?t really need to. My rump is large enough so that if I hit something, I?ll know about it," assured Caramel.
"I guess I could understand that but what about things that are too light and fall over?" asked Marie.
"I suppose you?re right about that," giggled Caramel.
"Welcome aboard, Caramel. You?ll find we?re a very friendly bunch here. I?m Eduardo and I can see you?ve met Mocha, Galapeno, Patricia and Marie," greeted Eduardo.
"You all do seem nice," remarked Caramel before walking backwards into the town.
"Oh so you?re also fat in your belly too," realized Mocha.
"Yep, much like most of you," nodded Caramel.
"You look to be about my weight," added Mocha.
"You?re definitely bigger than me," protested Caramel. *Cactus Cathy comes out*
"Watch out, Cathy," called Mocha.
"Huh?" questioned Cathy before she bumped into Caramel*
"Ouch! What was that?" cried Caramel.
"Sorry, I didn?t see you there. Here, let me get my cactus out of your rump," stated Cathy.
"Careful, that?s...ouch....painful....ouch...," replied Caramel.
"What are you doing with your cactus, Cathy?" asked Truffle.
"I was going out for a walk with it," explained Cathy as she pulled the last needles out.
"Maybe this method isn?t so good after all," sighed Caramel.
"Just look ahead of you first," replied Mocha.
"You have quite the rump," remarked Cathy.
"Thanks so much. I like it to be bare so everyone can see," elaborated Caramel.
"Guess that explains why you?re only wearing a shirt," realized Mocha.
"Pretty much," confirmed Caramel.
"Sorry for all that. I?ll be more careful. Guess I forgot my case before I left," said Cathy sadly.
"We?ll both be more careful," corrected Caramel.
"Deal," stated Cathy before walking away.
"Interesting that you love showing your rump because I do too," said Galapeno before showing her walk.
"That?s like a combination of mine and everyone else?s here," giggled Caramel.
"I?d say your rump saved you from otherwise major harm," concluded Eduardo.
"Yeah, you?re right. It didn?t feel as bad as it could?ve been. I mean it hurt but I think that was more from when I first got pricked by the cactus," agreed Caramel.
"That?s certainly one way to make a friend," said Marie.
"Cathy may have a prickly passenger but she?s really as prickly as a teddy bear," thought Patricia.
