Hurricane Island [Diddy Kong x Dixie Kong]

Chapter 87: For a Week

There had passed a week in that wildlife clinic, where Diddy and Dixie had to stay. Truth be told, staying in that place wasn't what they wanted; they felt the urgency of returning to Hurricane Island, much more to DK Island, but they still had to wait for news to ensure that they would have nothing to worry about on their return, above all: to wait for the fate of the tamers, the apes, even the quartet.

Speaking of the quartet, they had been their mates again, though this time not in class, but in recovery. Although all of them had their recent physical wounds healed, the doctors continued to conduct examinations and activities for them, which the children often did not understand but at least found enjoyable. Truth be told, the people had treated them well, as if they were pets; they were quite affectionate and attentive to the little kongs, so much so that even the quartet were taking them little by little in a better way.

In the same way, and although Diddy and Dixie needed to get out of there, they had not had such a bad time, not even being in the company of the quartet that, in fact, at no time did any of them behave badly as could be expected... It was as if they were different children from how they already knew them, which even surprised Diddy and Dixie. Even the six of them used to play together in the hours assigned to them by the doctors, ate together and even had occasional conversations. Between times, Diddy and Dixie felt as if they were with Jenny's quartet when they still did not know the truth about them; especially in Rocky and Melenky, they saw quite a bit of similarity to how they were being Ricky and Melvyn.

As for the group of adult mandrills and orangutans, they were isolated in another recovery room, not letting them have contact with the young kongs. On certain occasions, only Jemky and company used to visit them secretly to see how they were, although they did not stay for that long.

For some reason, the atmosphere felt so calm for Diddy and Dixie, that between times their worries would go away; they didn't know what those doctors had, but they even felt the activities they put them to do so well. It was as if it helped them to stay calm while they waited for more news, and also as if it helped them to recover a little calm after all the heavy journey they had had to go through so far.

Even so, Diddy and Dixie weren't entirely calm either; there was a detail that, when remembering it, uncertainty invaded them again... and it was about the herd of animals along with the kong children and Mr. Pinky. Both did not know what to do about it or how to obtain information about their fate, but they only had to pray to the universe that at least all of them had reached safe dry land... But they still had to wait before assuming the worst...
