Attack of the Goldietarts

Zeester was suddenly woken up from his sleep by the loud ringing of his phone. Who could be calling him at this hour? He wondered, he hoped that nobody was hurt or in the hospital. Zee sleepily answered the phone, not bothering to check the caller id “Uh hello…?” 

“Zee come quick! I’m under attack!” His brother Seastar yelled. “Oh god the pain! They got my cart too!” There was muffled squeaking in the background. 

The ocean bao was confused, this wasn’t the first time his brother called him at a strange hour claiming to be in mortal danger, however this was one of the few times it seemed actually legitimate and not Seastar’s own doing. He hoped. “I’ll be there as soon as I can” he sighed and got out of bed.

“Thanks Zee you’re the best!” The older bao answered, then hung up. 

Groaning, Zeester got his things ready to leave his baopartment, he’d need his keys, wallet, or phone, and first aid kit which he hastily shoved into his backpack. He locked up his place, and jogged to the train station. Zee boarded the train to the beach in a hurry. It was a struggle for the sleepy bao stay awake during this, but he forced himself to stay awake. His brother was (potentially) in danger! This wasn’t time to be napping! Zee smacked his cheeks and scrolled bao social media to stay awake.

Eventually his stop finally came, Zee rushed out and ran as fast as his little bear legs could take him to the beach. He approached a familiar ice cream cart on the sands of the beach, but something looked off, the place was covered with strange bunny looking creatures that seemed to be eating all of the ice cream, and Seastar was nowhere to be found. “…Bro? Where are you?!” Zeester yelled nervously.

“Right here!” a muffled voice yelled. The noise seemed to be coming from a huge pile of those rabbit things. Quickly Zeester cleared off the bunnies from whatever was trapped under the pile. “Thanks Zee” his brother responded, now freed from the bunny pile. “I dunno what happened, I was having a really nice nap and dreaming about some sweet buns, and I woke up covered in them!” Pointing at the bunnies. “And they aren’t even tasty!” He pouted. 

“You ate one?!” Zeester asked, disappointed but not surprised.

Seastar sighed “I tried to, but then they got really angry and started attacking!” 

The ocean bao huffed “Okay well, let’s just get them off your ice cream stand for now, they’re eating all your product” Zeester started grabbing the goldietarts and shoving them into his backpack so he can release them in a more appropriate location later.

“Thanks for the help Zee, I can always count on you!” Seastar smiled.
