Carl pointed an accusing finger at the card cat and grinned, one of those malicious tv-villain grins. "I swear by all that is orange and fluffy that I WILL get you for this. I will hold your paper thin butt down and sing the most horrendously sweet and caring song on the face of this earth until the cavity of all of it rots that cynical little brain of yours into being a decent person!"
Ah, creative threats indeed. He didn't exactly want them thinking he planned to beat the kitten up, but rather craved revenge for the impromptu heart fibrillation.

LP took Thorn off but before they were gone thorn called out. "Did I mention you're feathers were going to get eaten by a VACCUUM CLEANER!? MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" -cough, choke, hack hairball.- LP wrinkled her nose... stuipd kitten
Willow murfed and flopped down. "WHY MEEE" She cried in dispair before coiling up into a tight ball tail over her eyes again. Clearly craving sleep. But Thorn had now made her paranoid and her ear flicker serverly.

Carl snickered as her laughter was cut short, calling out to her. "Did I tell you about that hairball?..Oops, guess not. Now go behave before I really get serious."
Yeah, serious, like a schoolgirl was serious about which boy was popular that week. Carl sighed and smoothed himself down, resetting his beautiful new feathers before moving back to the ditch and taking up the shovel, driving it into the ground and continuing to excavate the row.

Willow murfed, "Carl shut up....." She muttered poking her head out from under her tail. Shaking her head before pulling her tail back over her face muttering something about how he thinks he's so smooth.

The bird continued chuckling to himself as he continued to work, trying not to make too much more of a fuss so that Willow could return to her nap. At least she wasn't overly angry at him, for one really couldn't blame the poor, startled bird.

It was hard, but it got done one way or another. Half way to the lake he finally grew tired of the element of surprise and pulled off the monks robe, leaving him in simple black slacks. That was the only time he paused until the afternoon sun began to rise into the azure hued oblivion, ever constantly watching him as the shovel met earth, and then stopped.
Carl looked towards the water bottle and smiled, moving over to it and gently taking it from her. "Thanks Rosey. Think we'll get it done today?"

Rosey shurged although he couldn't see it. She didn't have anything to write with either and wasn't about to wake Willow. After all she had heard the comotion that the cat caused. She looked around and saw LP appoarching.
LP paused the kitten having been placed in a box to sleep for the afternoon, hoping it wouldn't figure out how to get out of it. And peered at carl's work. "Interesting. Hrm. While you take a break..." She said looking down at carl, "I'll dig up that lake if you want so you odn't have to much work to do." She had a few shovels and a rake with her. That were small enough to do detail work like that but they weren't so small she coudln't use them.

The answer was more of an assumed 'yes/no' thing, so Carl didn't further inquire anything of her and took a swig of the water. The taste was good and clean, just how he liked water on a hot day, and his luck seemed to improve on from that point as LP approached - offering to help out.
The boy grinned and beamed up at her. "Thank you, Lp, that would really help! I'll finish the stream in a moment, so that way we can surprise Willow when she wakes up."

LP looked over to Willow not seeing how the tiger could sleep like that. "Eh She'd already asked me to do that part I just didn't know if you wanted me to wait or go ahead to be truthful." She chuckled as she sat down looking at where the lake was suppose to go. It was rather large, possibley going to be big enough to plant a nice sized tree in. "Oh this will be fun." She said eyeing the layout of it before starting to dig out the earth. "We'll have to pack and remake an island I'm afraid. It'd be easier because then I could use a normal shovel and get it does twice as fast." She said looking at carl as she went to go get a different shovel.

Carl downed the rest of his drink and took up his shovel, slipping back into the stream bed while she went to gather the needed tool. Things would go like clockwork now that they were working together! And even as clockwork went, Carl was determined to speed up a bit and finish the job, albeit he did make sure to do it the right way so he wouldn't be forced to go back and fix any errors.

When LP came back She dunked the shovel into the dirt and started diging out the Lake. Within an hour she had it deeper tahn Willow had planned on and a little bit larger too.
"There.... I think that'll do it for that. Now when you get finished carl I'll need you're help." She said Dummping a half a shovel full of loose dirt back into the hole. She needed Carl to do this part because she couldn't work like she needed to without laying down.
Willow twitched slightly in her sleep. Possibly dreams turning slightly into nightmares. She didn't often have them but when she did they weren't the best thing in the wrold.

"Ok....This shouldn't take much longer!" And indeed, he'd abegun digging the shovel in as far as he could to achieve the maximum amount of dirt per swipe. Within ten minutes the path from start to finish was fully connected and the loose dirt neatly in their piles to be used again for some other task while they worked on the one at hand. He moved over to LP and smiled. "What do you need me to do?"

LP pointed down into the whole. "Well I need you to get down there and while I bring something around to help dampen the ground I need you to start pasking for the island. It's suppose to be big enough as it looks for the size of hte gaziboo which fits possibley three or four velveteens larger than Willow. Plus one or two your size, I wouldn't say comforbitly but simi-close ot it.
She then picked up carl and set him down into the hole. "I'll be right back." She said as she moved to get the best thing to a watering can she had.

Wow....He hadn't quite realized how deep the hole was until he was in it. Carl looked up, never having really felt the magnitude of just how small he was and how big everything else was - to think that the hole completely went over his head and that should fate be so cruel, be might have been abbandonned there had he not the knowledge that LP was comming back.
