VeggieTales: A New Beginning In A New Era

Chapter 5: Rescue Mission Round 2

The trip to Albatross Islands took a few days to reach it, but Stephanie did not mind it.

She liked the smell of the sea and the wind blowing in her face.

The gentle rocking of the ship reminded her of a baby's cradle when she was a baby.

It somehow also reminded her of her home when she used to ride the ferry to visit her Aunt and her twin cousins.

The memory was sad for Stephanie as it reminded her of her home, which she longingly misses.

Stephanie is slumped against the rails, thinking about her home as her right hand was against her cheek.

During that minute, Bob was hopping over to where Stephanie was to talk to her when he stopped.

Bob noticed Stephanie slumped against the rails, her hand against her cheek.

But the strangest thing is her hair... was in a hazelnut brown color as the wires were in the same colors too.

"Stephanie?" he asked, hopping closer to her.

She heard him calling out her name and moved up from slumping against the rails, glancing over to him.

Her wires turned back into the multicolors they were before, confusing Bob more, even without expressing it.

"Are you seasick?" Bob worriedly asked.

"No, not really," Stephanie softly answered, shaking her head no. "I was just thinking about something."

"About what?" Bob asked, cocking his body to the side.

Stephanie hesitated after Bob asked, glancing away from him.

"I... rather not answer that." Stephanie slowly spoke, her voice sounding sad.

Bob noticed the tone in her voice and decided not to say anything further, knowing it would make things out of hand if he continued asking.

Then, muffled mumbling came from the window, perking Stephanie's attention from Bob and glanced over at the window.

"We can't hear you, Peach!" Stephanie called over to the window.

The window opened, and the same head poked out, saying while blushing, "Sorry! I kept forgetting about that!"

He cleared his throat and repeated what he had said earlier.

"I said we're land ho!" He used a stick to point at the front of the ship since they had no hands.

Bob and Stephanie glanced in front, peering through the mist and seeing an island forming slowly through the fog.

"Fun Fact," Peach spoke. "The island is shaped like an Albatross and has millions of them over there!"

Stephanie smiled softly to herself about the fun facts about the island and how many birds there are, but then her sapphire vision kicked in again.

In the vision, it showed water bombs spread across the surface of the water, waiting for any ships to come.

Their ship appeared through the mist and bumped into the bombs, exploding into millions of pieces.

After the image had shown the future vision, she distantly heard Bob repeatedly call out her name, shaking her leg with his 'hands.'

"Stephanie!" he called as he shook her pant leg. "What happened to-!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Stephanie quickly flicked her hand through the air in a straight line, as her left eye glowed a light blue color.
