She laughed as her brother began commentating their venture, starting with his observation about the greenery overhanging the doorway. She noticed how it slithered along his back, leaving behind what looked a lot like algae in his fur. Meerkat laughed a little louder at the sight, then turned to face inward as the sound of her own voice echoed back at her.

Between the light and the noise, it wasn't long before the bats came swooping out of the small cave's mouth. Meerkat let out a little scream as they swept past her face, several of them bumping roughly into her. She stumbled backward, knocking into Bronco and slipping on a few wet leaves in the threshold. She lost her footing and sprawled on the ground, which turned out to be a good thing: now the cloud of bats streamed past overhead, scarcely touching her.

It was all over in a minute. The air grew clear and quiet again as the last of the bats evacuated, quickly vanishing above the lip of the gully. Meerkat blinked and pushed herself into a sit, looking down at herself to find a couple gooey white smears in her fur. She bent to sniff at one and recoiled, nose wrinkling. In spite of her discovery and everything else that had just happened, she began to laugh again.

-"Let's try the one on the right next,"- she suggested playfully to Bronco, already wondering what kind of craziness they might find behind door number three.
