A fair distance away, in the ever-shrinking non-burnt section of the jungle, the rest of the gang continued on their big trek in order to avoid burning to death. About 2 hours had passed since Plagiarize set off on his epic quest of fortune and glory and stuff. They had gone many a distance off into the jungle and so forth, and now nobody knew where they even were at all.
After even more walking, they happened upon a beach. For, you see, this planet had more than one body of water on it, and they had just found themselves a second one.
“Oh my god I can finally relax!” said Klumpkrump, flopping down on the sand.
“That was the most walking I have ever done in my entire life,” declared Snorter, falling down next to Klumpkrump. Mushpuff, Bird, and Qaeron also sat down upon the sand, and Hoofa went to the shore and sat down over there to look upon the water and the night sky. It was very pretty indeed. Sitting on the sand and listening to the waves, she thought about Gumpton and how much he wasn’t here.

Within minutes, everyone had soon fallen asleep on the beach. It would have been a very peaceful environment if not for the deafening snoring of Qaeron. Snorter was especially deafened, as she was laying on the bear’s stomach, and Bird was laying on hers. It was a very impressive stacking of animals, and it was quite a wonder that none of them fell off. Mushpuff and Klumpkrump were originally laying quite close to The Stack before the loud snoring began. Then they decided to migrate farther away in order to avoid major headaches.
It was this very sight that Plagiarize stumbled upon when he emerged from the jungle about two hours later. He was able to locate them due to the sound of Qaeron snoring, and when he saw everyone asleep on the beach, he couldn’t resist also falling asleep. And for the next hour or so, not a single thing happened. Well, not on that beach, at least. A great many things were happening elsewhere…!
