| - Olivia floated through the tears in the bottle. The sun was rising and Olivia could see what she had literally cried an ocean of tears. Just then, she heard someone singing. She turned and saw an unusual sight. It was a brown rabbit wearing a pink shirt with the sleeves rolled up above his elbows and blue pants. His name was Brer Rabbit. He was riding on a blue spherical whale Pokémon named Wailmer and a green frog named Brer Frog was pushing him through the sea. Brer Rabbit began to sing again: Brer Rabbit: Oh, a sailor's life is the life for meHow I love to sail on the bounding seaAnd I never, never everFor the weather never ever does a thing for meOh, a sailor's life is the life for meTiddley-um (honks his nose twice) Da dum dee-deeAnd I never, nev... "Ahoy! And other nautical expressions! Land ho, by Jove!" the rabbit shouted. Brer Frog saluted him and said, "Where away, Brer Rabbit?" "Brer Rabbit?" Olivia said to herself. "Three points to starboard," Brer Rabbit said. "Follow me, boys! Have you at port no time at all now, ha-ha! Oh!" "Mr. Brer Rabbit, Olivia called. The rabbit and frog sail away, as he began to sing again: Brer Rabbit: Jo-ho-hoAnd a bottle of seaWe love each time... "Please..." Olivia called. "Please help me!" Just then, two bats were riding on a boat. Their names were Fidget the Bat and Batso the Bat. "Um, pardon me, but, uh, would you mind helping me?" said Olivia, but neither Fidget or Batso seemed to hear her. A canoe passed by. In it were a rabbit named Reader Rabbit, a lion named Sam, and a monkey named Mitt. Also in a boat were another lion named Alex, a zebra named Marty, and a giraffe named Melman. "Yoo-hoo! Yoo-hoo! Help me! Please! Help me!" she called. She stood up, causing the bottle to sink temporarily. "Help me!" Olivia cried from underwater. The bottle resurfaced and she saw a group of toons on the shore. Brer Frog, Alex, Marty, Melman, Fidget, Batso, Reader Rabbit, Sam, and Mitt were all running around a rock. Brer Rabbit was on top of a rock and singing: Brer Rabbit: Forward, backward, inward, outwardCome and join the chase! All (except Olivia): Nothing could be drier than a jolly caucus raceBackward, forward, outward, inwardBottom to the topNever a beginning, there can never be a stop (The water starts to rise again and Brer Rabbit lifts up his campfire to prevent it from going out.) Brer Rabbit: To skipping, hopping, trippingFancy free and gayI started it tomorrow and will finish yesterday! (The water lowers and, surprisingly, the runners are completely dry.) All (except Olivia): Round and round and round we goAnd dance forevermoreOnce we were behindBut now, we find we are... (Olivia gets out of the bottle and a wave washes her to the beach.) Brer Rabbit: Forward, backward, inward, outwardCome and join the chase!Nothing could be drier than a jolly caucus race.Backward... Brer Rabbit suddenly saw Olivia and said, as he used a cigar to breathe in and out, "I say! You'll never get dry that way!" "Get dry?" asked Olivia, as Brer Frog off her head. "Of course, little mouse!" Fidget shouted. "You have to run with us, mouse!" Alex shouted. "First rule of the caucus race!" Mitt added. "But, how can I-?" Olivia began, before she started to run. "Now, that's more like it!" Melman said. "You'll be dry in no time!" Brer Frog said. "But no one can ever get dry this way!" Olivia said. "Nonsense!" Brer Rabbit said. "I'm as dry as a bone already!" "Yes, but-" Olivia began, before a wave covered the group again. Olivia saw Dijon washed up on the beach, riding in an umbrella. He turned it over and was drenched in water. "Alright, boys! Let's head now! Look lively!" The rabbit said. "The Arabic dog!" Olivia exclaimed. "Mister Dijon! Mi- Mister Dijon!" "Oh my goodness," Dijon yelled, as he ran off into the wood. "I'm late! I'm late!" "Oh, don't go away!" Olivia shouted. "I'll be right back!" "I'm late, I'm late, I'm late!" Dijon said. As Olivia ran after the dog, she could still hear the rabbit talking. "Batso, don't step on the frog!" Brer Frog shouted. "Mitt, there won't you stop kicking Melman! Reader Rabbit, Sam..."
