Hurricane Island [Diddy Kong x Dixie Kong]

Chapter 55: Hurricane Island Post Office

Later, Diddy and Dixie were heading towards where correspondences could supposedly be sent. They didn't know the place, but in Mr. Pinky's letter were the indications on how to get there. They also carried some sheets and pencils to write that Mr. Pinky had given them before. They had to walk for a quarter of an hour, until they finally arrived. The site was near the beach, on a pier.

In front of them, there was a medium-sized cabin, where about three apes could be seen walking nearby, even one of them was the same courier ape who had delivered Mr. Pinky's letter to Diddy. At the top was a sign with letters that read "Hurricane Island Post Office."

Dixie immediately went to the cabin; she couldn't wait to find out if she would be able to communicate with her sister and cousins, as it was something she had needed for a long time. Diddy, for his part, wasn't so sure that could be done because of the hurricanes, but he followed Dixie anyway to find out.

"Excuse me, do you send mail to DK Island?" Dixie asked the apes at the scene.

"DK Island?... Wait a minute," replied one of the apes as he rummaged through some papers, and then pulled out a specific one. "Wow, that island is one of the farthest we have registered... In fact, no one sends mails there."

"By the way, the route that leads to that island is not accessible at the moment due to the presence of hurricanes," added another of the apes.

"So... can't it be done yet?" Dixie asked with a worried expression.

"At least, delivering the emails personally, we can't," replied the apes.

Dixie was disappointed with that answer; she had hoped that it could be sent somehow, and now she had just been told that it could not.

"Don't you deliver by submarines or light aircraft?" Diddy asked jokingly, to which Dixie nudged a little.

"In fact, we do have the submarine service," commented one of the apes, activating the curiosity of both. "We have some swordfish friends; they make deliveries in situations like this. They carry the mails in sealed boxes so they don't get wet."

"Really?!" Dixie exclaimed, her excitement returning.

"Yes, but there is a problem with that modality," replied the ape. "It's much more difficult to find the way around in the depths of the sea, so we don't guarantee that the mails will arrive."

"But then... can they?" Dixie asked with a smile of pleading.

"Of course," reaffirmed one of the apes. "They can try anyway. Just write your letters and bring them to us to pack them."

Dixie smiled as a little air of hope returned, and looked at Diddy, who was also starting to smile at that. After the information, they both walked to another corner while thinking about whether it would be a good idea to send letters to DK Island at that time.

"What do you say, Diddy?" Dixie said, looking excited. "I want to try."

"Are you sure about that, Dixie? What if they don't arrive on DK Island?"

"But we won't lose anything by trying. Come on, you can write to Donkey. I'll write to Tiny, Kiddy and Chunky."

"Well... Maybe I can. Did you bring the sheets?"

Both went to sit near some rocks while each had a sheet and a pencil to write. From what they had heard, they hoped that everyone on DK Island could be made aware that they were safe and would soon be back.

"I hope this does get to Donkey," Diddy said, smiling. "If possible, I know it'll make him very happy."

"By the way... will we tell them that we are a couple?" Dixie asked with a little laugh.
