Carolina couldn't believe what she read. She dedicated all her life of training to go on the quest of the Fountain of Youth, and everything turned; it crashed down on her when she read that. She dropped the book. She leaned against a wall and fell down to her knees. She put her feet in front of her face and wept in sorrow.
"It can't be, it really can't be."

"Hello......."

She stopped crying. She quietly stood up and hid behind a nearby rock.

"Are you here......"

"Carolina......."

She was frightened.

She took a peak and saw a tall black figure walk past were she was. She quickly turned around and stayed in silence. Not making a sound. Her body ached and she barely took a breath. That's how scared she was.

After being in that spot for a while she decided to stand up. The figure emerged from the corner of the room and began running to her. Carolina ran for her life until she tripped and fell.

A sack was put on her face and her hands were tied up.

"Do you know who I am"

"Carolina did recognize the voice, but didn't know who to think of, except......"

The sack was taken off and she couldn't believe who it was.......

"NATASHA!!!, but I thought you......"

"I was stabbed, but it didn't kill me. You never checked my pulse."

"I wish we did."

"I've been stuck her for a while too, but I think I know our way out."

"Show me."

Natasha grabbed Carolina's hand and pushed it down on a platform right nearby them. It circled down. The room they were in began circling around with it. They both fell as the cave ascended. After a while of spinning they saw a bright light ahead. Carolina was filled with joy. When the cave stopped spinning, Carolina rushed out.

She couldn't believe it though, she was home, in Cuba. Javier was asleep right next to her.

"Javier......."
She tapped him on the soldier, he faded away.

"What..... is..... this......."

The cave began to shake, Carolina stood up and ran out of their. She went out and found the ship. She ran to it, untied it, and began sailing. She lost her balance, since the ship was moving a lot. She went to the wheel and controlled the boat. When it was balanced, she began making way to looking for Bucky and Javier. She began walking when she heard a familiar voice call her name. She went and followed. To her surprise she met with....

(POV Narrator)

"CAROLINA!!!!", both said in unison. Both are in different paths searching for her. They couldn't find her and they were worried. The search went on for hours now but they didn't give up. Suddenly they heard a scream. They ran towards it. They found Carolina, but they also found..........

PONCE DE LEON

But how could this be. They thought he died in the ship, the crash in the ocean with the ferocious three head sea serpent. They must have been wrong. They watched as Carolina and Ponce fought a vicious battle. She finally threw his sword away, he was defenseless.

"You'll never get away with this", Ponce said as he ran off.

The boys ran to Carolina and gave her the biggest hug ever. All three were overjoyed to see each other.

They immediately began making plans to building a ship with wood and looking for food.  It took a hard couple of days but they managed and did everything. They soon made way to the mysterious island they saw up ahead from the current island they were on. When they reached it....... they couldn't believe it..........
they were home.

Carolina and Javier began running, but they both stopped. They went back and dragged Bucky with them. They soon made it home.

Javier knocked on the door. His parents opened it.

"Did you bring the groceries", mom said.
"Who is that boy", dad said.
"What took you so long", they both said.

We were heading to the market when (Javier) ....... we met this boy on the street. We talked for so long and made it back home and totally forgot about the groceries (Carolina).

"Well, we should welcome our guest", mom said.
Dad gave her a look.
She slapped him softly and took Bucky inside.

We had a nice dinner that night. We had Ana amazing time that night. But Bucky had to leave..... we both talked for a while and he gave me a kiss. I haven't seen him since.

"Wow mom, that sounds like an amazing adventure", Lucy said.
"Why did he leave", Luke asked.
There were more and more questions from the kids. Then I heard one that caught me by surprise.
"Why do you still love Bucky after all the bad he did", Emily said.
"Because it's the power of love. We see what others can't", I said, "now class that was my story of an adventure, what is yours?"
