 The trio bond quickly and the boys are constantly over at Sando's house, which is a treehouse in the middle of the Australian bush, shared by Sando's American wife Eva Sanderson.After teaching them the basics, Sando quickly encourages the two now-teenage boys to attempt extremely dangerous stunts in the ocean, although he's aware of how irresponsible his behavior is and pointedly uses his strong influence over the boys to manipulate them.At first, Pikelet has plenty of fun with the others, though he soon becomes tired of how Sando would constantly put Loonie and himself against each other - and how the older man showed favoritism towards Loonie.
