AvM/AvA (ADVENTURE)

GONE

Alright. Now, none of this is revised. I've literally just wrote it.

I'll revise it soon enough...but for now....

Like I said...just bear with me :|

"Hey...uh...guys..?"

Second, Purple, Mango, and Green turned to look at Yellow. Yellow looked a little worried.

"Are you alright, Yellow?" Mango asked calmly. Yellow looked at him, then around them.

He didn't have to put it in words.

Green folded his arms, looking around. But the airport was crowded....

"They're gone." Second stated flatly, looking around to search for the two missing troublemakers. But all the group could see was person after person, family after family, and no Blue or Red.

Purple fiddled with the sleeve of his shirt and said softly. "Perhaps something caught their eye? Like a food stall or something?"

Green looked over at him, saying calmly. "I guess so...but y'know Red. He's a troublemaker. And very reckless too....so I wouldn't be too surprised that this could be a prank of some sort..."

Yellow nodded in agreement. "I agree...although what are they planning? They'll just get lost here..."

Then Purple, Yellow, Green, and Second all turned to Mango. Mango stared at them each in surprise.

"You know what to do, right, dad?" Purple asked. Mango looked down at him, thinking. The four waited quietly for his answer.

"Well..." Mango said slowly. The four looked at him eagerly now, a little anxious -- their flight could arrive before they find their friends, so they had to be fast. "First thing we should do is call them. If they don't pick up, then we should probably retrace our steps. They've got to be around here somewhere."

Second immediately grabbed his phone from his pocket. Green grabbed onto his suitcase for him, and they all watched as Second put in a number and waited for them to pick up.

The phone continued to ring. And ring. And ring.

A few people passing by glanced over at the group curiously, but didn't linger for long.

Then voicemail.

Mango sighed, and Second put his phone away. Green scoffed, saying. "Those two are idiots sometimes...this is a huge airport...how are we ever going to find them?"

Mango replied. "Our only option is to retrace our steps now. Come, follow me."

He began to lead the group back the way they have come. Yellow checked his watch, seeing that it was now 7:24. The plane was going to arrive at 7:30, and they weren't even at the correct destination yet.

The group of five continued to walk, looking around for their missing friends. But it was becoming increasingly clear that Blue and Red weren't in the food stalls or hiding behind a bench or something.

When the group almost reached the entrance they came from, panic began to settle in.

Mango led the group back the other way, thinking deeply. The four friends trailed behind him, anxious to find Blue and Red. Without Blue and Red, they couldn't leave. Yellow checked his watch again, seeing that it was now 7:28. Four minutes had passed, and they've made no progress in finding their friends.

Oh, how stupid they can be! Yellow face palmed, breathing deeply. He trailed behind the others, thinking about where the two can be himself. They had been marveling at the different things they saw, just like the others.

Yellow continued to look around -- but with less enthusiasm than before. Oh, how such a pretty and amazing place can become so boring in less than half an hour? There was the pizza area, and over there a toys' shop. Over there people were walking on an escalator, and over there-

Wait. An escalator?

Vaguely, Yellow remembered hearing Blue talking about it when he was arguing with Green about the two planes outside. He remembered hearing Blue saying something about how cool it was...

Immediately Yellow stopped, calling out to the others. "Guys! I think I know where they've gone!"

The others stopped, turning to him in confusion. Yellow continued to think deeply. He turned to look at the escalator, then at the second floor above them.

He said slowly. "I remember hearing Blue talking about the escalator...and I have an idea...I think they went up on the escalator when we weren't looking..."

Yellow pointed over at the escalator mentioned, and the others followed his gaze. Second stepped forward confidently.

"We've got to be quick. One of us should go. I'll go. How much time do we have left?" Second asked, turning to Yellow slightly.

Green and Yellow seemed to want to protest, but Mango cut them off, saying. "Second's right. Only one should go while the others find our plane." He turned to Second, answering his question. "You've got one minute."

Second nodded, and soon enough he began to make his way quickly to the escalator. Purple muttered quietly. "Does he know where to go?"

Mango turned to him, patting him on the shoulder. "The kids' strong. He'll make it."

Then, with some difficulty, Mango began to lead the rest of the group in the correct direction toward their plane.

Alright...I apologize because this chapter has been way shorter than the others. At least by half...

But I wanted to leave Second finding Red and Blue for another chapter....so yeah.

Oh lord....that's so little compared to the other chapters......ah well....
