C.C.'s Adventures in Twisted Wonderland

Chapter 3-2-6: On the Ground

***Deserted Island - Waterfall***

C.C. POV:

"We won that handily! Now, what were we talking about again?" Appa asks while he tends to the few bruises I got. "Uhh... Not sure I remember...Do you, Stitch?...Wait, he's gone! Did he run away and abandon us here?! Azul's still sprawled out on the ground... What WERE we talking about? Umm..." Ace asks. "Heeey!" voice calls out, I recognize it immediately, Grim. "That voice..." Ace mutters in recognition. "Didja get that food yet? 'Cuz I'm starvin'!" Grim exclaims. "Grim decided to visit, so I'm tagging along." Bubba says as I run to him and hug him.

"Yuu! Grim! I'm saved!" Ace exclaims while Bubba picks me up and holds me. "Saved from what? Ooh, fruit! Were you guys keepin' this all to yourselves? No fair!" Grim whines. "Would you like some, Grim? We were just about to dig into this rather rare and unusual fruit..." Appa starts. "AH! Hold on, Lilia! I, uh... I'm feeling way better after that banana I had! Where'd you find those? I'd like to get more!" Ace interrupts. "Oh, the bananas? I suppose those are nutritionally rich in their own right. But I think this rare fruit is even healthier..." Appa says. "No, no! I want bananas. The one I had was super good and gave me a second wind." Ace says.

"Bananas are cool and all, but I wanna try this rare fruit Lilia's talkin' about." Grim states. "Dude, are you dense?! I'm trying to drop some cues here! If Lilia pressures other people into eating it, it's gonna leave the whole group on the ground!" Ace whispers. "I want some bananas." Bubba says. "Yeah, huh?! At least you get it, Yuu! Lilia, Yuu wants bananas too!" Ace exclaims in relief. "Hmm... If that's what you both truly want, who am I to deny you? Bananas it is. Come along, and I'll give you some lessons in foraging for fruit." Appa states while walking away.

"Yes, sir! Thank you, sir! Sheesh... That was too close. One wrong move, and everyone but Lilia could've been wiped out. Guess we'd better follow him. Geez, how does he move through the brush so quickly? Azul? Can you stand?" Ace asks. Azul only groans in response. "What'sa matter, Azul? That groanin' makes you sound like Stitch." Grim asks. "Poor guy...Azul, I know you hate taking breaks, but I really think you should lie down for, uh, a while..." Ace says while I fall asleep in Bubba's arms.
