Levi’s Not-So-Excellent Adventure
Levi’s POV during the episode, “The Gambler”

I need a tree. Now.

Oh! There’s one!
It’s tall, and gray, and looks like it has two trunks. Funny roots . . .
Oh what a relief it is . . .
Wait a minute . . . the tree’s jumping up and down . . . and yelling!
Great . . . it wasn’t a tree, it was Myles’ leg.

Something’s wrong with me.

What am I doing here?
I’m closed up in this little room, and I’m getting really antsy.
That strange feeling is coming over me again, and I can’t stop it.
She left me here, with him, and he put me in here and shut the door.
What did I do?

They’re all out to get me.

Gotta get out.
I’m claustrophobic, I can’t breathe.
Is she coming back for me?
Can’t take the chance that she’s left me.
Somebody’s at the door.

Gotta escape!

I’m out!
He never saw me leave.
I’ll run until I feel safe again.
Still have that strange feeling, but now I’m more confused.
Why did she leave me?

Why do I feel this way?

That was a close one!
That car nearly clipped me, and I didn’t even hear it coming.
I guess that’s why she’s kept me around so long.
She can’t hear anything, ever.
I don’t feel so good.

Oh, no . . .

What have I done?
She’s gonna be so mad at me.
I want to go home, but where am I?
I wonder if she’s crying?
If she is, Jack will take care of her. It should be me taking care of her.

I just want to go home.

It’s getting darker
I’ve been wandering around all day, but can’t get my bearings.
I’ve been kicked, yelled at, and had things dropped on me from above.
I did a really stupid thing, running away.
I just want to find her.

Great. Now it’s raining.

At least it’s shelter.
The old warehouse is a little warmer and drier than outside, but not much.
Oh no . . . somebody closed the door on me!
I’m trapped in here, buddy! Help!
What was that?

Why did I run away again? I forget . . .

I can hear her!
She’s out there, but she can’t hear me bark!
Gotta get to her. She’ll get me out.
There’s a window, but it’s way up high.
I can get to it if I climb.

Wonder how someone knew to stack those boxes just right?

I see her!
She’s right below me, telling me to wait, but I can’t.
I want to be with her, now, and I think I can make it.
I got down! I landed in a smelly dumpster, but I’m OK.
She’s crying now . . . really hard . . . and laughing, too.

I thought she’d be mad at me.

Clean is good.
I don’t usually love baths, but that one was great.
She’s even letting me lie on the couch!
She looks really tired, but happy . . . and Jack’s here . . . he looks tired, too.
But she always looks happy when Jack’s here.

I saw Jack hug her earlier, and that made her smile.

So what’s been going on?
I got sick, Lucy took my medicine, Bobby got in trouble . . .
Now things are better.
Jack’s making sure Sue’s OK. He’s watching her closely . . . why’s he sitting way over there?
I’m gonna watch her closely, too, and take good care of her . . . with Jack’s help.

I’m home now, and when she says “Stay,” I’m gonna “Stay!”

I wonder if Jack would do the same?

Hmmmmmm . . . . maybe she should try it . . .
