Twisted Wonderland 2

Rock and Roll

You and the boys walk along the beach carrying a variety of fruit. Azul has recovered enough to walk on his own.

"We have a suitable stock of fruit and water now." Lilia says.

"We've got bananas, coconuts, mangos, oranges, and pineapples!" Ace grins. "They all look so good!"

Grim shrugs. "Fruit's cool and all, but I wanted some fish."

Azul shakes his head. "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." Azul shoots a pointed glance at Lilia. "Not to mention, my mouth's still all gross from what SOMEONE gave me. I want to get that taste out ASAP."

Grim's shoulders slump. "Aww... but fish..."

"Grim's right." Lilia adds. "We need something more energizing to eat. I suppose we'll need to gather more of that mystical fruit-"

"No we won't!" Azul shouts."

"With all this delicious fruit you've picked for us, you've got us covered and then some!" Ace looks to Grim. "Right, Grim? Don't you love fruit?"

Grim quirks an eye. "Huh? I mean, it's fine, I guess..." Grim glances between Ace and Azul. "Why're you guys starin' at me like that?"

"Fruit will be fine for now." You say. "Fish is something to look forward to tomorrow."

The sun starts to dip below the horizon. Turning the clouds and the sand pink. Eventually, you spot the other boys.

"Oh hey, there's Azul's group." Floyd waves. "Yo, over here!"

Lilia smiles. "Ah, Floyd's group. I see Stitch is with you."

Riddle nods in greeting. "Looks like we've all made it safely back."

"Of course." Lilia chuckles. "We had several run-ins with Gantu's robots, but they were hardly a threat."

Ace glowers at Stitch. "Hey, Stitch! You picked the absolute worst time to run off!"

Stitch tilts his head curiously.

"Did you find any food?" Riddle asks.

Lilia nods. "Lots of it!"

"How about our shelter situation?" Grim folds his arms. "Hope you kept at it even without me there to supervise!"

Floyd chuckles. "You bet we did. You're gonna be floored when you see it."

Riddle smiles. "I believe you'll be quite satisfied with what we put together."

"Does that mean we've got better shelter now?" Azul asks.

"You look rather pleased with yourselves." Lilia says. "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?"

Floyd laughs. "All wrong! We'll show you. C'mon." Floyd leads you and the others further down the beach. "And we're here!"

You stare in awe at the shelter. The boys built an actual house. It's a tropical style structure with a vibrant red roof. The building itself rests on the large rocks above the beach with stilts to protect against high tides or flooding. The house is adorned with large windows, which allow for plenty of natural light. A veranda, that's been painted white, wraps around the house and decorated with lush plants and flowers. The house's walls are painted in a soft, pastel green color, which contrasts nicely with the bold red roof and the green vegetation around it.
