Hurricane Island [Diddy Kong x Dixie Kong]

Chapter 58: Unexplained Unknowns

After so much thought, Dixie began to look for answers as to the sudden event that had happened, and she should do it as soon as possible, since the fact that the evil kids now knew where they were, represented a serious danger to her and Diddy. Besides, what Dixie wanted the last thing was for Diddy to end everything between the two of them for something she didn't do.

Another assumption Dixie had was that perhaps the letters she and Diddy sent to DK Island may have fallen into the hands of those evil kids, and from there they got their information... although that was also strange, since in those letters they didn't mention some things like: Mr. Pinky's letter, the ship or the reprimand that Mr. Pinky gave them on the first day. Among other assumptions that crossed her mind, was that the courier apes would have been the ones who provided the information to Jemky and company, but she didn't find logic to that. In fact, as she mentioned before, she had been sending more letters to DK Island to her family in those days; they had never been to Jemky.

Without further thought, Dixie decided to head towards the post office; she had to find out first whether that letter had been real or not. She ran as fast as she could towards that place.

Arriving at the post office, she immediately went to peek out from the window and talk to the apes there.

"Hello! Excuse me," Dixie said hurriedly and exhaustedly. "I need to ask you-"

"Ah, it's the little monkey girl again," said one of the apes when he saw her. "Yeah, what do you need?"

"I-I want to ask you if..." Dixie replied, trying to stay calm. "If n-no have come here an orangutan kid, a mandrill, a red-shanked langur and a capuchin monkey."

The three apes only looked at her strangely when she asked them that, which kept confusing Dixie.

"No, we haven't seen any group of kids of those species you mention," they replied. "The only little ones who have come these days have been you and the red-capped monkey."

"Ohh, so... no one, apart from the two of us, has sent any letters to an island called Z? Or near DK Island?!"

"Z Island?" the apes wondered strangely. "That's also far away and nobody sends letters there during this season. And no, not even to DK Island someone sent letters, apart from you and the monkey in red. Why?"

"Oh, long explanation," Dixie replied somewhat frustrated. "It's that two of those kids that I mentioned, came here recently and showed us a letter that according to them I wrote, but it's not true. And it had my handwriting, my signature, and even had the stamp from here and the map that you also deliver from here!"

"What?!" exclaimed the apes, showing shock. "But how is that possible? No one could have this stamp! Are you sure it was the same?"

"Yes, it was the same," replied Dixie. "It had the same color and read 'Hurricane Island Post Office'."

"Well, it must be a confusion," reaffirmed one of the apes. "As far as I know, no one has stolen our stamp seal, nor have more ape kids come, and no more letters have been sent to distant islands... Sorry, girl... But maybe all this is a confusion or something similar."

Dixie was frustrated that she couldn't find answers. She wished Diddy was there at that moment so that he would hear that and believe her even a little. With what those courier apes told her, everything pointed to the letter being false with all certainty. Without more to say, Dixie said goodbye to the apes and left.

Dixie still didn't want to give up and kept looking for clues. So, she went to a place where she used to go daily with Diddy, and where there would be a certain group of kids that came to mind, since, although the friendship with them had ended, those children had made her go through difficult times with Diddy during the last weeks that they were their friends.
