Hurricane Island [Diddy Kong x Dixie Kong]

Chapter 45: Friendly Meeting

Night had come, so Diddy and Dixie headed back near where they were building the ship. They had agreed with their friends where they would meet in a place near that, this time to spend moments of fun and relaxation after a long week.

When they got there, all the other kids were there; the only ones missing were the two of them. The site was spacious, with some trees in between and some bonfires lit, but very cozy to meet. The four children had set up some tables made of wood and adorned with elements of nature. Diddy and Dixie had a nice feeling of being there; it had been a long time since they had such a meeting, and for a moment, they felt like they were on DK Island when the whole Kong family gathered for a weekend.

"Hi, Diddy! Hi, Dixie!" Ricky told them, arriving with the group, and then they both returned the greeting to each one. "Good thing you came."

"Hasn't everything started yet?" Dixie asked them.

"No, we're going to make candies first," Mandy replied with excitement. "We were waiting for you."

"Okay, it sounds great," Diddy said the same way.

"Well, what are you waiting for? Come with us!" Jenny said, inviting them in. "We're going to have a lot of fun."

Diddy and Dixie joined with their friends to prepare those sweets, and then they joined the rest of the children as well. The herd of kong children already looked bigger, enough to be able to have a big event.

"Do you like candies?" some of the new children asked Diddy and Dixie. "These are the best."

"Obviously," Dixie replied as they were all gathered together preparing the sweets.

"Hey, so you also know how to make these sweets," Diddy said to their four friends. "How did you learn?"

"The same as with boats," Mandy replied, smiling. "By the way, after this we'll play, what do you think?"

In the same way, the quartet of friends of Diddy and Dixie seemed to be also skilled in preparing sweets, which they made with fruits and ingredients that they could obtain from nature. With so many hands helping, they didn't have as many complications, as it wasn't a super complex procedure either. At the end, the candies were placed on the tables they had set up.

They were having a good time. Diddy and Dixie had a chance to get to know the new kong children better, even though they were somewhat multifaceted, or both also spent time with their four friends. After all, the arrival of those old friends from the quartet hadn't been so bad, as they thought that maybe they could make many more friends. Among other activities they did during the meeting, was to play certain interactive or competitive group games, and they had a great time. At other times, they were divided into groups.

On another occasion, Dixie was with Jenny and Mandy along with the other kong girls of the herd. While on the other hand, Diddy was along with Melvyn and Ricky in the company of some of the other boys; they were gathered "only boys" and this time they had decided to make a game of random challenges.

"What will we play?" asked one of the kong boys in the herd.

"Very easy: to the challenges!" Ricky announced with excitement, taking out a pair of round bubble gums, both of different red and green color. "You see, everyone gets in a circle, then you must close your eyes while two of you hold each of these bubble gums. Then, those who have them should throw them in the direction they want, and those who grab them will be the participants: the one with the green color will be the one who proposes the challenge, and the red one will be the one who fulfills it, okay?"

"Great, I want to play!" Diddy exclaimed excitedly, and then the rest of the kids exclaimed the same.

"Well, so, let's get started," Ricky said, sitting on the ground with the rest. "Oh, yes, whoever doesn't meet the challenge will have to eat five tree leaves."
