Going on a Trip

Going Along The Way

While still engaged in agile movements, leaping and traversing through the tropical forest with the primate companion, I diligently search for the intended message that is being conveyed to me. My observations led me to a sight of various wildlife inhabitants, encircled by a body of water.

It became apparent that this served as a designated gathering place, as the chimpanzee summoned the gorilla's closest associate and informed him of the awakening of the human. Following this revelation, I swiftly descended using a vine and found myself in the presence of the gorilla who had previously taken me against my will. To my astonishment, the gorilla uttered words, proving that what I had experienced was not a mere figment of my imagination. In response, I asserted, 'While I acknowledge your expression of remorse, it does not excuse you of your actions that of a beast!' Please understand that no offense but I still meant it, even though I was being honest..'

Feeling inclined to address the water-related matter, I proceeded to interject, posing the question,
'So, what's going on?' Subsequently, the gorilla replied, 'This esteemed location serves as a central hub where the denizens of the jungle convene to communicate with the reigning monarch of our domain, the mighty king of the jungle.'

Meanwhile, the girls are gathered in the untidy living room, adorned with red cups, bottles in the corner, snacks strewn across the table, and scattered games on the floor. This is where they convene to discuss their mission of rescuing their latest friend.
The first girl, Abigail, known as Abi, takes charge by addressing the group, 'Ladies, the girl we picked up last night has gone missing!' She points towards the window and continues, 'Therefore, it is imperative that we search for our friend to ensure her well-being!' One of the girls eagerly raises her hand and Abi grants permission to speak, directing her attention to Piper, who holds a bottle. Piper queries, 'Why must we visit the police station for assistance?' Abi interjects, signaling that she has spoken enough.
Without hesitation, she directs her attention to Rory, who comically wears a cup on her head. 'We can track her using our...' Abi interrupts Rory by clapping her hands loudly and exclaims, 'Rory!' Startled, Rory responds, 'Huh? What? Oh right, track her using our phones, isn't that right? Did any of us manage to obtain her number?' It turns out that Ouellette's nickname Ouie has hacked into the girl's cellphone and retrieved her number successfully! A chorus of 'YEAH!' resonates in unison as they all exchange triumphant high-fives.

Abi swiftly retrieves the phone from Ouellette and begins typing on the app, simultaneously explaining, 'Now all we need to do is access the app and then...' The application on the phone leads them to her location, which happens to be in an unfamiliar place. The entire group of girls gasps in unison, their frustration causing them to collapse chaotically.

Within the jungle, one encounters a diverse range of creatures, both large and small. These include snakes, monkeys, tigers, lions, wolves, bears, and even gorillas - an array of fauna that captures the imagination. The jungle is also home to a variety of plants, such as fruits, vegetables, and beautiful flowers.
In this captivating environment, I find myself journeying upon a gorilla's back, accompanied by a chimpanzee, towards the king of the jungle. This regal figure resides in a majestic location known as the house of the king, which stands tall and commands reverence

I encountered a plethora of inquiries while riding atop the gorilla. I sought knowledge regarding the regulations and protocols implemented by the kingdom. Specifically, I was curious about how they address issues involving other animals. I pondered whether these animals operated collectively or if there was a separation amongst them.
Additionally, I questioned whether they were classified based on size or if they belonged to the same species.
Hamina, the gorilla, amusingly remarked on my unquenchable curiosity by stating, 'You possess a profound sense of inquisitiveness!' We proceeded towards the King's location, realizing that time was limited, yet the number of questions remained abundant. The chimpanzee acted as a mediator, conveying information through jungle sounds and noises while Hamina translated for my understanding.

As the girls embarked on their expedition to locate their missing friend, a sense of urgency filled the air. They had chosen to venture into the vast and enigmatic jungle situated near the southeastern equator. However, peace and harmony seemed to be distant companions for this group. As they debated endlessly about the proper route to their destination, tensions rose like the sweltering heat of the tropical sun.

It was during this tumultuous journey that the source of their discord became apparent. Abby, known for her meticulous navigation skills, had accused Pip of misinterpreting the directions. Their words clashed like swords, with each girl defending her position fiercely. In a rather audacious move, Abby even made a sly comment about Pip's sense of fashion, as she wore provocative attire while behind the wheel of the vehicle.

Abby said, 'OMG, you're not even reading the directions right?' And Pip turned to her and said, 'Well, not like you're giving anything of value to the team!' Abby answered, 'Well, I'm giving you a piece of advice!' Rory chimed in, 'Girl, the only thing you're giving is a headache!'

   Ouie strangely emerged from the crash unscathed, and they looked at her like Rory and Pip questioned, ' Ouie turned around and looked at them, saying,  then moved on with the map while Abby chased after her. Rory and Pip looked at each other in a strange and odd manner.

The heated exchange continued unabated, with each remark exacerbating the growing rift between the girls. Even Rory, a normally level-headed member of the group, could not resist joining the fray. She teased Abby about her contribution to the team, claiming it to be minimal at best, echoing a sentiment shared by Pip. A headache was now not only figurative but also a plausible physical manifestation of the tension within the car.

Abby burst out, 'I need none of this sass from any of you, okay?' Ouie spoke up, 'Hey! Not to ruin this bond, but who's driving this car?'

Amidst all the commotion, Ouie found her voice and called attention to the one pressing matter that had been momentarily forgotten - who was actually driving the car? A moment of realization dawned upon all of them as their gazes shifted from one another to the impending danger. A tree, seemingly materializing out of thin air, became the harbinger of their impending doom. Panic ensued, and their screams blended with the grinding sound of metal upon impact.

Physically shaken but determined to ensure the safety of her companions, one of the girls gathered her wits and rose from the wreckage. Concern for the others filled the air as Abby inquired anxiously if everyone was unharmed. Pip and Rory, fortunately, replied in the affirmative.

Abby called, 'Is everyone okay?' And Pip and Rory said, 'Yeah.'

However, an air of bewilderment and suspicion wafted through the group when they saw Ouie emerging seemingly unscathed from the wreckage. The others turned their gaze towards her, their unspoken question hanging in the air. How did she manage to evade harm while they had all been inside the vehicle, enduring the horrifying crash?

Ouie's response was cryptic yet profound, as she nonchalantly claimed ignorance of their concerns. With a dismissive glance, she continued to clutch the map, resolute in her determination to move forward. Abby, her curiosity piqued, chased after Ouie in an effort to understand her mysterious immunity to the crash.

How did you not get hit while we were in a car?'
....
'I have no idea what you're talking about,'

Meanwhile, a strange and unsettling exchange passed between Rory and Pip as they exchanged uneasy glances. The incident had left them perplexed, and they couldn't shake the oddity of Ouie's unscathed state from their minds. The bond that had united them now teetered on the edge of uncertainty, threatening to unravel under the weight of their unanswered questions.

As the girls continued their journey through the unforgiving jungle, they couldn't help but feel a lingering sense of unease. The crash had not only left physical scars but had also exposed a rift within their group. Little did they know that this would be just the beginning of a series of mysterious and challenging encounters that would test their resolve and friendship like never before.
