Vivo: Special: Nueva Casa...Nueva Aventura

Lost

It was finally the end of the show at the aquarium.

The girls came out of the showroom...soaking wet!

But they had bright, sunny smiles.

Gabi asked, "Wasn't it cool how they surprised us with a giant orca at the end to splash us with?"

Eva said, "Did not see that coming!"

Becky said, "Well...I knew that orcas aren't 'dolphin' dolphins but they do belong to a family called 'oceanic dolphins'...but I didn't want to risk spoiling it."

Sarah then said, "Wow! That show took up a lot of time! It's almost sunset!"

Gabi said, "Oh, then I'd better hurry to the Plaza to get Vivo."

The four then left the aquarium.

They made it to the same spot they met before they split up.

However...there was no kinkajou.

Gabi was a little confused.

"That's weird. Vivo should've been back by now. He knows not to stay out late."

Becky said, "Oh, he's probably in another part of the Plaza. Come on. We'll help you find him."

Sarah and Eva also agreed to help.

Gabi said, "Thanks. We'll meet back here in thirty minutes."

The girls then split up to check the entire Plaza.

***

Back out at the art gallery outside of the town, Vivo was getting a little frantic.

"Ok...don't panic...you're just a little ways from where you're supposed to be...and Gabi will soon find out you're not there and start to get worried!"

Charlotte tried to calm him, "Don't worry, Vivo, we can still find our way back to the Plaza."

Vivo started taking deep breaths, "Yeah...I guess you're right."

Novella then said, "Then your owner won't be worried any longer."

Vivo slowed down, "Yeah. Yeah, that's true."

But he then asked, "Wait. How long would it take to get there?"

Tiago answered, "Well, if we had a car, it would take no more than 20 minutes."

Vivo raised his eyebrow, "And, uh, how long would it take to walk over there?"

Tiago shifted his eyes, then gave a nervous smile.

"About...an hour and a half?"

Vivo shouted, "An hour and a half?!"

Roxie said, "Whoa, V, chill! Everything will be totally fine. If we start walking now, we may be able to catch her before she goes home."

Vivo started to calm down, "Ok...I guess there's really no other option."

Novella said, "But it is better than no option at all."

Charlotte said, "Well, then come on! Let's get going!"

The five pets then started walking their way back to the Plaza.

Vivo just hoped Gabi was doing ok.

He knows she must be worried.

***

Gabi went back to the same spot thirty minutes later.

Becky and Eva met with her with down faces.

Gabi knew what that meant, "No sign of him?"

Becky said, "I asked everyone I saw, but no one saw him."

Eva said, "I left no stone unturned...even though I don't know how a kinkajou would fit under one."

Gabi and Becky just blinked.

Just then, Sarah ran up a little out of breath.

"Girls...someone...saw...Vivo!"

Gabi gasped, "Where?"

Sarah answered still out of breath, "Hopped...on...a trolley."

Becky said, "If Vivo's on a trolley, then he's most likely somewhere around a trolley stop."

Gabi said, "I guess his new friends wanted to show him more of Key West."

Eva said, "So...what do we do?"

Gabi took a minute to think, then thought of something.

She asked, "Do any of you know the trolley route?"

Becky answered, "I know it like the back of my hand."

Gabi then asked, "And do you have your scooters?"

Becky scoffed, "You mean, a cleaner, more efficient method of travel than a CO2-emitting vehicle? I think we got them."

Gabi said, "Then I think it's time to do a little touring of our own."

The girls understood her plan.

They all got their scooters and started on the usual route for a trolley tour.

Gabi noticed it was starting to get a little dark.

She hoped Vivo was doing alright.

***

Vivo and the others were still walking through a more rural part of Key West.

Pretty soon, they saw they were walking by a beach.

It looked so beautiful with the sun seemingly setting onto the ocean.

But Vivo would've been a bit more happy if he saw a city.

Vivo said, "Ok, there must be a better mode of transportation."

Roxie said, "Call me crazy, but I don't think taxis usually stop for animals."

Novella said, "True. But Vivo is correct. Surely there must be some way to save time."

Just then...

They heard somebody singing.

Actually, it sounded like two people singing.

And they sounded nearby.

In fact, they sounded like they were coming from the beach.

The pets stopped for a minute.

They were wondering whose beautiful voices those were.

However, Vivo's eyes slightly widened.

"Wait a second...I know those voices!"

He then dashed after the voices with the others trailing behind.
