BILLY BENDER "May-Day" (Part 3 of 10)

I wasn't expecting what happened next. As I had reached down to put the straw into Davinci's mouth, he started freaking out and grabbed my hoof. He yanked my leg so hard I lost my balance.

SPLASH! Into the swamp I fell.

I started kicking, and trying to wrap my hooves around anything I could.

At one point I remember stepping on poor Davinci's back, trying to keep myself out of the water.

As he tried to wiggle me off, his leg suddenly came loose from under the instrument panel.

Like one of those Dolphins at Sea World, Davinci shot up out of the water, and climbed up onto the fuselage.

"Whew, that was a close one Bender. I think you saved my life, little buddy."

"Bender?"

"Down here" I said, as I continued splashing around trying to find something to grasp onto.

"Oh my god... Bender I'll save you."

Davinci reached down and pulled me out by my neck.

"Cough, Cough, Hack... Are you trying to kill me" I asked him, as he plopped me safely onto the fuselage beside him.

"Just returning the favor buddy," he said smiling at me.

We both sat there for a moment, and reminisced.

"Boy, what a day huh Bender," he asked.

"You aint kidding Davinci" I replied. "Now how are we going to get back to the farm for dinner, I'm hungry."

"Awww, little Bender is hungry... If you hadn't noticed we just crashed a plane we're stuck in the middle of a swamp its getting dark outside..."

Davinci stopped speaking, his eyes fixed on something out in the swamp...

"Alligators" he hollered.
