Vali smiles, "Oh yes we should get painted up!" he laughed warmly and then he saw the great apes. They were so big and laying around. "Look look they are so lazy...they look like me when I do homework." he laughed and patted Pippin's arms to get him to look, just incase the other could not see them.
He was having so much fun. Nothing could go wrong today. His best friend was beside him and there were animals nothing could beat this! He really loved all of this so far. The bus was so tall and the animals were so alert this early in the morning. He could acutally see them moving and getting food.

Pippin giggled, seeing the apes made him laugh because they just looked so silly. It wasn't every day you saw something that resembled people that much but were so hairy! "Vali, thass silly! They do look pretty funny though, swingin' an all!" what was it about animals that was so fascinating? Already he couldn't pick his favorite, and was pondering over what he wanted to get his face painted as. For a young boy it was such a hard decision, since all the animals were so cool!
"Hey Vali, what're you gonna get on your face?" he asked, hoping the other boy's answer would spark one of his own. He grinned, pointing to a boar in one of the exhibits, "Oink oink!" he laughed, feeling silly but not minding. It was okay to be silly around your best friend!

Vali turned to look at the boars and he giggled. “Pip sounds just like one.” he laughed and waved at the boars and joined in with a few oink oinks to try and get the boar’s attention. This was too much fun. Was it possible for someone to have too much fun? There was nothing better than being with your best friend and lots of animals.
He then looked thoughtful. “I…don’t know…so many aminals. I don’t know what one to go with…maybe a lizard or a snake.” he giggled and flicked his tongue out of his mouth. He wriggled in his seat and leaned over. “I could make a good snake. “ he said and leaned into Pip to lick his check. “Snakes can taste with flicks of their tongue. Dooma read that to me. Oh can we see the snakes after the bus?” He asked the women but then got distracted by the zebras. “Oh wow so pretty look at the horse!”

Pippin giggled quite a bit at the oinking, they seemed to make very silly boars. And wow did Vali make a good snake! "Wow you're really good at that!" he said, his eyes wide. "I wanna try!" said the young spawn. He began to do what must have been concentrating very hard as he stuck his tongue out and attempted to flick it. It sort of worked, though it didn't look quite as cool as his friends and he ended up blowing a raspberry in the end and began to laugh rather loudly.
"I'm not as good at tha snake." he snickered, eying the zebras now, "Ive never seen a striped pony before!" he said, rather amazed by it's black and white pattern. He had to wonder if he could ride it, but figured not. It was certainly cool though! "I love aminals!" he said with a grin, though he made the same mistake in pronunciation.

It was shocking that Vali's face did not split with the size of his smile. He laughed and shook his head, "Oh I am not a good snake. But you would make the cutest flying snake!" He did not hear one of the adults riding the top with them whisper for the two spawn children to quiet it down. He started to laugh too. This was too fun and Pippin's raspberry was too cute!
Vali's smile finally softens for a moment. "Oh maybe we could match? Be like Zebra with opposite stripes! Or maybe the same snake or... oh my what is that?" He gasped and pointed to large bird cages and avian walk threw. He could see toucans and vultures. He did not know why but the 'ugly' naked headed birds were too cure to him! "Are those birds sick? They have no...feathers on their head!" He looked worried thinking that maybe one of the birds might die.
As if to answer Vali's question the man came over the intercom and announced that they were vultures and their naked heads were helpful for them to feed on dead animals.

Pippin was a very happy boy indeed, nodding his head quickly, "Yeah! We should be matchin', that would be soooo cool!" he said with the wide grin he usually wore around Vali. "You haveta pick what we be though!" the indecisive boy added.
At the sight of the 'sick birds' the boy's face went a bit crooked, "They don't look right..." he said, though after listening intently to the intercom man he nodded his head, "Oh, so they can use napkins better." he said, as if the world all made sense now.
Celi looked below, seeing a small stand full of little goodies to draw in children. Turning to Dooma she spoke softly, so the young children couldn't hear, "I see some adorable bracelets, that aren't girly. Do you think the boys would want some?" she asked, remembering how she and a boyfriend (as in friend who was a boy) had friendship bracelets when they were younger.

Vali smiled and nods, "Okay I will pick us something really good! Though it will be so hard." He smiled and could not help but give Pippin a side ways hug. His best friend was too nice and fun to be with. Hearing the comment about napkins he could not help but laugh and nods, "Oh yes that makes sense! That is why their feet are naked too!" He giggles as the bus kept moving on. He did not know if he wanted the ride to end so they could get closer or if he wanted it to keep going so he could see more animals.
Dooma looked at Celi and then down at the stands. She smiled softly, "I think that would be perfect. Even if they are girly I think it would be great for them. They do seem to be very close already don't they?" She looked up at the two spawn and nods, "I think they would love the idea. I can take them to get their faces painted when you get the bracelets."
She smiled and listened as the bus driver said that they would be stopping to let some people off and others on. "Boys do you want to get off and see some of the animals closer up or shall we keep going?"

Pippin thought for a moment when Dooma proposed the idea, "Wanna go so we can sees more aminals?" he asked, a wide grin spreading across his face. He wondered if there was a petting zoo, that would be so cool! He wanted to pet a goat, because they reminded him of little old men with their silly little beards. "We can stay up here if ya wanna though." he offered the other.
Celi nodded her head gently, "Sounds fine to me!" she said, chipper as ever. She just hoped the whole idea wasn't too girly, since she was terrible with this sort of thing. "Awfully sneaky too, I like it." the woman laughed, the idea slightly amusing her, like she was a secret agent or something. Though that was obviously far from the truth.

Vali nods and claps his hands at the thought of getting closer to the animals, "Dooma you said there was a petting zoo right? Can we go there? Face painting is there right?" He nods and stands, "Come on lets hurry and get off then!" He smiled and took Pippin's hand.
Dooma nods, "Well yes I do think the face painting is near the petting zoo and the children section of the zoo. Along with photo places and you might get to hold one of the more wild animals like a bird or small monkey." She gave a wink to Celi and a quick node before mouthing, "Mothers have to be sneaky."

Pippin smiled as his friend took is hand and they began to disembark from the bus. "Reawwy? That's so cool! I wuv to pet aminals!" said the excited boy, trotting down the stairs until they were finally out in the open expanse of the zoo once more. He saw his mother nudge them in the right direction, pointing to the area where the petting zoo would stand so the boys could touch the animals. Pippin led Vali until they could see the small fence that surrounded the mini area of the zoo. "Oh lookit! Moooo! A cow!"
Celi grinned at the wink, obviously mothers all had a bit of a sneaky gene in them. "I have to go use the little girl's room, I'll catch up in a minute~" the blond said, walking off to the bracelet stand and looking over the merchandise.

Dooma nods, "Don't worry we wont go far apart from the petting zoo." The skull atop her head gave a wink and the red headed female moved after the two spawn. "Okay lets go inside the petting zoo shall we? I will buy you each a bag of food to feed these guys." She said and opening the gate for the two boy she hurried inside and bought each of them a small bag off food for the animals. "Be nice with them and go slow to them or they will run away."
Vali hurried after Pippin. He laughed softly and nods, "Oh yes I want to feed them! Oh look how fat the goat is!" he giggled and took the bag. "The cow is so cool too. I hope we have enough food for all them." He said and finally let go of Pippin's hand. Being with the animals they could touch, even if they were mostly if not all farm animals, he completely forgot about their guardians. It was just Pippin and him on a deserted island with lots of animals to take care off. "His smile grew as a pot belly pig waddled over to him and bumped his leg to get at the food. "Don't worry mister pig I have food for you."

Celi had snuck away and peered over the stand, seeing so many little trinkets and such as she looked. Finally her eyes set on two little bracelets, that looked as if they were made of hemp (being a brown, almost twine look) with beads braided in. They weren't too girly, which was a major selling point, and the beads had almost tigers-eye designs in them. She gave the vendor the correct amount of money, and stuffed the bag in her purse in case Dooma wanted to wait to give them to the boys before she snuck back and met with the others.
Pippin giggled madly as a cow licked at his hand after he had held out a handful of food, "I-I-It tickles!" he said with a laugh, trying to catch his breath after the animal had stopped. He turned to Vali, seeing the piggy rubbing against him, "I think he likes you." the boy said with a smile, still producing a few left over giggles. This might have been his favorite part, being able to pet the animals. The fat goat waddles over to him and nuzzled at his leg, "Aww, you wants some too little goaty?" he said, holding out a handful. "I like the aminals, d'you Vali?"

Dooma sat outside of the acutally petting zoo and watched the boys wail waiting for Celi to return. It was so good for them and she could see how happy the boys were right now. They were too cute for sure.
Vali smiled and knelt down to hold out a handful of food to the pig. "Do you think so Princess? I hope he does. Oh he had whiskers!" he smiled softly and looked over hearing Pippin talking about a goat. "Oh how cute a goat. He is so big...I think he is bigger than mister pig!" he laughed softly and then walked over to pet the goat that was nuzzling his friend. "I do Pippin, I really love them. Oh maybe we should buy some aminals. We could raise them and play with them!" he smiled. And saw a bunny in a cage. Even though it was placed there to make sure it would not get squished by other animals. "Oh no it must be a bad bunny."

Celi strolled up to Dooma, sitting next to her as she gazed at the children, smiling at how happy and cute they both looked while feeding the animals before turning back to the other woman, "I got these, I hope they're alright!" she said, reaching into her purse and pulling out the bracelets to show Dooma.
Pippin nodded his head, the pig was pretty tiny, the goat certainly looked bigger. But maybe he was just taller, Pippin wasn't sure. "Yeah! We could be farmers an' stuff, an' we could have cows and piggies and even chickens!" he said with a grin, sounding pretty excited. The young boy loved animals, he thought they were so adorable and loved how they were all fuzzy.
The boy looked over and saw the bunny in the cage, his eyes wide, "I bet he did somethin' reawwy naughty, an' they stuck him in there 'cause he wouldn't stay in the corner!" he said, making the sentence sound quite dramatic, as if the bunny were some sort of criminal.

Dooma took the bracelets and smiled. "I think these will be prefect for them. The colors are just up their ally. I think." She motioned back to the boys. "I wonder if we will be able to get them out of this part of the zoo."
Vali laughed and thought about him and Pippin running a farm. It would be so great to have baby animals and big ones to take care of. "Oh we should get a farm together when we are older. We can raise animals and plants too!"
He laughed and nods, "Oh I bet it was really bad. And he looks like he would always leave the corner." He looked around then pulled up some of the food and held a pellet between the bars, "Go on pal and take the food. Pip will make sure no one sees." He laughed softly and watched as the bunny took the food.
