C.C.'s Adventures in Twisted Wonderland

Chapter 3-1-2: Please Be Practical

***Deserted Island - Cave***C.C. POV: "Khee hee hee. That was hardly even a warm-up." Appa says happily. "Yeah, they barely put up a fight. That was kind of a letdown. Still..." Floyd says. "*yawn* I'm gettin' hungry..." Grim states. "Same. We didn't have anything to eat yesterday. If we don't get some food in our stomachs, we're gonna be down for the count. I don't think Stitch is gonna be makin' us any meals. We'd better forage around the island." Floyd says.

"Hmm. I had been hoping to focus on collecting parts and getting Stitch's ship fixed as quickly as possible...But food and shelter are rather pressing. We need to make proper living arrangements." Appa says. "We sure do. I want something more comfortable than a cave to sleep in!" Ace complains. "I want good food! Like a whole heap of canned tuna, for starters!" Grim also complains. "We gotta have a campfire, too." Floyd states.

"Could you please be practical about this?" Azul asks. "Grim and Floyd's petty demands aside, I agree with Lilia in principle." Riddle says. "Then we start by arranging for food and shelter." Jack says. "All right. I say we split into two groups to tackle those goals." Appa states. "Yeah, sure. And I don't feel like havin' some snoretastic debate about who goes where, so let's draw lots and call it good. Little Shrimpy and Sealie are a two-in-one deal... Add in Stitch and C.C., and that's nine...There, done. Everybody pick one." Floyd says, picking up sticks to draw.

"Okay, we all got one." Grirm states after everyone got their stick. "Then let's announce our teams! Hehe, I'm on the edge of my seat." Appa says happily. "I'm on Team Shelter." Floyd states. "I'm with Floyd... I'd better keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't cause any trouble." Riddle says.

"I'm glad you're on our team, Riddle. I barely got any sleep last night, and I still don't feel rested at all. If I let this ruin my sleep cycle, it'll affect my health for sure. Let's make sure to find good shelter tonight!" Jack says. "I'm right there with you, Jack. We must reduce this sleep deficiency and live a properly regulated life." Riddle states. "It won't kill ya to cut loose a little on a tropical island, y'know. I'll chip in and make sure we have plenty of fun today, don't you worry." Floyd says.

"I ain't picky about where I make my bed, but I've had it up to here with those mosquitos! We gotta find a place to sleep in peace tonight. Look alive, fellas! I'm in charge of this group!" Grim states. "Glad to be here." Bubba says. "Then that makes the rest of us Team Provisions." Appa says. Stitch gives an eager smile. "Stitch is lookin' pretty eager. I wanted nothin' to do with that guy when he was acting up, but when he's on our side, he's all right! Let's find some good food and make ourselves a feast tonight." Ace says.

"Gathering provisions is a vital task. I trust all of you will take it seriously." Azul states. "Mmhm, of course. We'll all give it our best. Just remember that those robots could strike again at any moment. Stay sharp." Appa reminds us. "Eh, don't worry. If they show up, I'll just trash 'em again. It's a good way to relieve boredom, and it gets us more of the ship parts we need anyway. That's a win-win in my books. All right, teams, it's go time!" Floyd says. Everyone in turn nodding.
