C.C.'s Adventures in Twisted Wonderland

Chapter 3-3-1: We'll Show You Now

***Deserted Island - Shore***

C.C. POV:

"We have a suitable stock of fruit and water now." Appa states when I start waking up. "We've got bananas, coconuts, mangos, oranges, and pineapples! They all look so good!" Ace exclaims happily. "Fruit's cool and all, but I wanted some fish." Grim complains. "We're not likely to have much luck against fast-moving creatures on an empty stomach. Let's focus on recovering our strength for today and save the fishing for tomorrow. Not to mention, my mouth's still all gross from what SOMEONE gave me. I want to get that taste out ASAP." Azul says. "Aww... But fish..." Grim whines.

"Grim's right. We need something more energizing to eat. I suppose we'll need to gather more of that mystical fruit—" Appa starts. "NO WE WON'T!" Azul interrupts. "With all this delicious fruit you've picked for us, you've got us covered and then some! Right, Grim?! Don't you love fruit?!" Ace says desperately. I hold in my laughter from Ace and Azul's desperation. "Fish is something to look forward to tomorrow!" Bubba says. "Oh hey, there's Azul's group. Yo, over here!" Floyd calls out as we walk closer to his group.

"Ah, Floyd's group. I see Stitch is with you." Appa says as we approach. "Looks like we've all made it safely back." Riddle says as I yawn and jump out of Bubba's arms. "Of course. We had several run-ins with Gantu's robots, but they were hardly a threat." Appa says. "Hey, Stitch! You picked the absolute worst time to run off!" Ace exclaims while Grim just grins in response. "Did you find food?" Riddle asks. "Mmhm. Lots of it!" Appa exclaims happily. "How about our shelter situation? Hope you kept at it even without me there to supervise!" Grim exclaims.

"Heh, you bet we did. You're gonna be floored when you see it." Floyd says. "I believe you'll be quite satisfied with what we put together." Riddle states. "Does that mean we've got better shelter now?" Azul asks. "You look rather pleased with yourselves. Did you find a hollow in a giant tree, perhaps? Or dig us a burrow? Or did you find trees with branches thick enough to sleep comfortably on?" Appa asks. "Ahaha. All wrong! We'll show you. C'mon." Floyd says.

***Deserted Island - Bungalow***

"Aaand, we're here." Floyd says as we reach our destination. "Ta-da! We built this." Floyd says. "A whole house?!" Azul, Appa, and Ace exclaim in unusion. "How is it so well made? Did you use magic?" Appa asks. "That was part of it, but Stitch provided a great deal of help.

Imagination is key when using spells. If you aren't familiar with something, you can't visualize it, so you can't make it with magic. So Stitch helped out with structural details we couldn't properly envision. It was almost like this wasn't the first house he's built from scratch! His breadth of knowledge is nothing short of awe-inspiring." Riddle explains.

"Not to mention he was hauling stacks of heavy logs with one hand." Jack mentions. "Stitch, you are seriously outta this world." Floyd compliments Stitch smiles in return. "I foresee a much more restful sleep tonight. Oh, thank goodness." Azul says. "Stitch! You're amazing!" Ace exclaims. "For sure. Sealie ran off, but I'd say Stitch showin' up instead was a pretty good trade." Floyd says. "Hmph. I'll have you know I was workin' overtime gettin' your dinner ready!" Grim says defensively. "Just hearing the word dinner is making my stomach growl. We've skipped out on meals long enough. Let's eat." Jack says.

"Good call. Ooh, I know. Let's eat on the beach." Floyd says. "The beach? Why?" Riddle asks. "Just c'mon!" Floyd says while jogging to the beach. Everyone followed while I trailed behind.
