This takes place after Mumble is back from the human's place and the fish is back. This takes place before Happy Feet 2
Mumble was exploring a cave when he heard something.
Sniff
"Uh..hello? Anyone?"
Sniff, sniff
"Who is there?"
Suddenly, he saw something blue.
As he went closer, he discovered that it was hair.
A human girl's hair.
She looked like 10 or 11 years old.
And she was the one crying.
When she noticed him, she said softly, "A p-penguin?"
Mumble carved out his name on the snow.
mum bl e
"Mumble? Y-you're Mumble?"
He nodded happily.
"I'm-I'm Lily."
He had some questions in his mind now.
Is she lost?
Where is her family?
And why is she here?
He tried asking her, but she didn't understand his language.
So, he wrote it again.
Wh y a re yo u her e !
"I'm lost...my parents and I came here for a hiking trip...but they went back without me..." She replied softly.
Awkward Silience...
Tap, tap, tap
Lily looked at his feet.
What was he doing?
Tap, tap-tap, tap
She got up and tried to imitate him.
Tap, tap-tap, tap
Tap, tap-tap, tap
Tap, tap-tap-tap
Tap, tap-tap-tap
Tap-tap, tap, tap-tap-tap
Tap-tap, tap, tap-tap-tap
"Wow, how'd you learn that?" She asked, giggling.
Mumble simply nudged.
"Aw. You're so cute!" She said, and hugged him.
Mumble didn't know what hugging meant.
He thought that she was trying to hurt him.
So he flinched back.
"Wh-what wrong, Mumble?"
He slid out of the cave.
"Wait! Mumble! Don't go!"
He misunderstood her.
A wrong imange of Lily, an evil image of her, settled down in his mind.
So, he went away, and didn't return.
Lily quietly sat back in the cave, hugging her legs close to her.
"Did I do something wrong?" She whispered to herself, having tears in her eyes.
