C.C.'s Adventures in Twisted Wonderland

Chapter 2-4: A Falling Star?

***Deserted Island - Shore***C.C. POV: "It's no use! I tried making a broom out of a branch and some fronds, but after flying out over the water a ways, I dropped like a rock. I can't believe magic really does fade out." Jack says in disbelief. "You see? What did I tell you? Let this be a lesson to listen to your elders." Appa replies. "Ahaha. I watched you desperately swimmin' back to shore. You've got a good dog paddle, Sea Urchin." Floyd says in amusement. "I thought using magic to make a raft was a good idea, but the waves are so high, I don't think it could safely crest them." Riddle states. "I walked around almost the entire island, but I couldn't get cell signal anywhere." Azul says. "I tried tunnelin' a hole in the sand, but the sand just filled the hole right back up. I was totally ready to dig us a path all the way back to school and everythin'..." Grim stated. "I think that plan was doomed from the start..." Ace mutters. "What now?" Bubba asks. "Hmm. What haven't we tried yet...?" Azul asks. "...I can't think of anything." Riddle replies sadly. "We've tried enough stuff already, right? Let's just give up on escapin' and explore the island. This is a pretty wild place. Who knows? Maybe somethin' even cooler could happen." Floyd says. "Floyd, could you PLEASE not jinx the rest of us?" Ace pleaded. Then I heard a noise, like an engine. "What's that roaring noise?" Appa asks. "Look up!" Floyd says. In the sky was a falling star? Maybe a ship? "Is that...a falling star? It's falling this way! Everyone, get down and cover your heads!" Appa yells. Everyone obeys his order and gets down. The thing crashed in the woodland of the island. "Looks like it fell in the woods. At least it didn't land near us. Is everyone all right?" Riddle asks. "Yeah, just really rattled..." Ace replies shakily. "First we get spirited away to some strange island, then a meteor falls outta the sky? What's going on here?" Jack asks. "We don't know it's a meteor. Could be a plane. Let's check out where the smoke's risin' and see what fell!" Floyd exclaims. "Floyd, wait! Don't just walk right up to it!" Riddle says as Floyd starts trailing after it. "Now, now. Anything beats staying here and sitting on our hands indefinitely. Perhaps this strange event will provide us with some hint for solving our dilemma. Let's all check it out." Appa says. "Mmhm. And your real angle?" Azul asks, unamused. "It sounds like fun, so we might as well be a group of gawkers together!" Appa replies happily. Appa follows after Floyd and was group up and follow after Appa. "Housewarden Riddle, is Lilia always this much of a goofball?" Ace asks. "I'm afraid so...Floyd on his own is aggravating enough, but having to deal with Lilia's unpredictable behavior on top of his...They're the worst possible pair to be stuck with during an emergency!" Riddle replies. We arrived at the crash site and heard growling.
