Well this is the day that all of you have been waiting for. The day I post the first chapter of Stranded: Separated. Now as usual, the extras aren't going to be in it until they answer the question at the end of the chapter. So, for now it'll start off with our usual squad. But I'll be doing this story alongside Famous Advice so don't stop asking questions on it. I'm really excited to start my first trilogy. I apologize for the delay; I just survived my first week of school. Now it's time to survive my first week in writing after being on mute for a while with Stranded.


The S.S. Fishy had sunken deep into the big blue ocean. The sun was behind the clouds as the sky turned a greyish color, an obvious sign of rain. It didn't seem like there was much activity going on in the ocean. But a familiar noise had sounded from below the water. It sounded like a whimper, a similar whimper to one that a hungry puffle would make. But this was no puffle. It was Rookie.

Rookie's propeller hat could be seen floating above the surface of the ocean. And as we all know, if there's a propeller hat anywhere, Rookie can't be too far behind. From a distance, a green penguin was swimming desperately to reach his propeller hat.

"I'm… coming…. Hat!" he panted. "Just….hold….on!"

Rookie swam faster until he finally reached his propeller hat. A small smile had appeared on his beak as the relieved penguin put the hat on his head.

"I'm so glad I finally found you." He said floating alone in the water.

He looked around and then realized something. "But we're still all alone, hat."

He sighed and looked around. There was nothing around Rookie except a vast ocean with a dull gray color to it as the sky darkened more.

"All alone." Rookie took off his hat and clutched it as he cried softly in the silence.

"I-I don't want to be alone." He sniffed. "I want to be with all my friends and all the agents and I want to be back on Club Penguin."

Rookie put his propeller hat back on and wiped his tears. He floated in the water and wondered. "What would the agents do?"

Time went by and soon the sky darkened to the point of small raindrops falling from the sky. Rookie was soon awakened from his thoughts as thunder began to rumble and the lightning bruised the sky in fascinating ways.

"Well, I don't think that I should be here any longer." Rookie said as he stopped pondering about what he should do. He made sure his propeller hat was on tight enough and he began swimming. After swimming a fair amount of miles, he stopped.

"Wait a minute, which way should I go?" he asked himself out loud. His question was soon answered when he looked to the right and saw a massive wave that at Rookie's height looked like it could reach the sky, or even space! Rookie began swimming away as fast as he could repeating the "Pokémon" theme song in his head as he swam, breathing in deep with every stroke. (Sorry, I was singing the theme song when I wrote this.)

The wave looked as if it was chasing Rookie. "Could this be the ghost again?" Rookie wondered as he began stroking harder and swimming faster. Soon Rookie's flippers gave out and he couldn't go any further. The massive wave caught up with Rookie and consumed him, carrying him farther and farther away from the sunken agents and the sunken ship. Rookie was knocked out cold. As he was unconscious he began to have a flashback.

(This part is in italics because it's a flashback.)


A young green penguin was waddling on the streets of "Chill Town". It was quiet as usual and not many penguins were out there. The little young green penguin was the only one on the street. It was night, which is a dangerous time to be outside, especially if you're a resident of "Chill Town". An old rumor had circulated not too long ago saying that penguins would mysteriously disappear because a strange force had taken them somewhere unknown. Most penguins would search for the mysterious force, but none had ever returned. That's exactly what this penguin was doing, he was going to find the mysterious force and put an end to the rumors. He soon came to the side of the town that was avoided because of the rumors. He took one step and froze when he felt a flipper on his shoulder. His heart began to race and sweat began to pour from his forehead. He slowly turned around and found his brother standing behind him.

"Rookie? What are you doing? You know it's dangerous to be out here at this time." His brother stated.

"Exper, I was just…"

"Do you know what could've happened if you had taken one more step?!" he shouted

Rookie stuttered. "I-I'm sorry…"

"You're just lucky that I was here." Exper grabbed Rookie's flipper. "Now come on!"

Exper dragged Rookie back to their igloo. (By the way, if any of you had read the story, "From Rookie to Exper" then you'll know where I got the name from. I forgot who wrote it, but I love the story and I just wanted to give credit to Jasper Lance, I think. I hope you're not upset that I put Exper in the story, Jasper.) "You'd better hope that dad doesn't find out or you'll be in big trouble!"

Exper and Rookie both arrived back at their igloo where their father was standing. He looked very angry and looked as if he hadn't gotten any sleep in a while.

"Where were you two? Don't you realize what time of day it is?" he snapped.

"Forgive me, father. I had to go fetch Rookie; he was headed towards the 'Forbidden Place'." Exper said emphasizing the word "Forbidden Place".

Their father turned towards Rookie. "Is this true, Rookie?"

Rookie nodded sadly. "I-I'm sorry father."

Rookie's father filled up with rage and struck him in the back of the head. Rookie looked up at him with tears spilling out of his eyes.

"Don't ever do that again!" he said waddling away. His brother Exper came by his side and put his flipper on his brother's shoulder.

He leaned in closely and whispered in his ear. "Just be lucky that he did something, or else I would've done something a lot worse!" his brother said as he pushed him to the floor and waddled off.

Rookie sat there crying as he picked up his propeller hat and put it on his head. After crying for a while, he collected himself and stood up.

"I'm going to the forbidden place." He said to himself as he packed his things and snuck out of the house.

Before going too far he turned back to make sure his father and his brother were asleep before setting off. His father was sleeping on the side that his mom used to sleep on and his brother was sleeping next to him. Rookie thought about his mom for a short amount of time. He remembers how she and his dad were always happy and treated him and his brother with lots of love. When the rumors started he remembers how she was going to prove the rumors wrong and come back with them, that was 4 weeks ago and she never came back. He soon shook himself off the thought before becoming too emotional.

He waddled out the door and came to the Forbidden Place and then remembering how his brother pulled him back. He waddled directly into the Forbidden Place and kept waddling. After going a fair distance he began hearing his name being called. He panicked and began running; he soon heard his name even louder and faster.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" he shouted as he ran before tripping on a branch. He saw a shadowy figure approach him. When it got closer he covered his face.

"Rookie!" said the shadow.

Rookie looked up and saw Exper. He then stood up and glared at his brother.

"Let's go." Exper said grabbing onto his flipper.

Rookie gathered up enough courage to tug away from his brother. He snatched his flipper back and ran further into the Forbidden Place.

"Rookie! Get back here!" Exper called.

Rookie ignored his calls and continued running. Exper followed. Soon, the two brothers found themselves in Club Penguin. Exper looked over at Rookie with anger in his eyes. Rookie looked at his brother with fear in his eyes. Exper lifted up his flippers to strangle Rookie but Rookie ran away before he could finish lifting them. Exper chased after him once again. At that moment, he ended up tripping on a tree branch and felt a sharp pain in his foot. He immediately knew that it was broken. He couldn't hear or see Exper anymore so he thought that he'd give up the chase. But that's when in the distance he saw Exper approaching him sinisterly. He struggled to stand but cried out as pain was sent through his foot.

"Exper NO!" he shouted. As Exper came closer, a penguin came out of the sky and pushed Exper away from Rookie, the penguin then approached Rookie.

"NO! Don't hurt me!" Rookie said covering his eyes and quivering.

The penguin knelt down to Rookie's height and extended his flipper out to him. "My name is Jet Pack Guy, do you need help?" the penguin asked.

Rookie nodded slowly as he got help from the penguin.

(Flashback over)


Rookie snapped his eyes open and found himself on the shore of a strange island.

"It was a dream." He said to himself. "I'm alone again." He said crying into his flippers.


That's the end of the first chapter. In each chapter I'll be showing each character's point of view. So just make sure you tell me who you want to see next. I hope you enjoy the story so far. And I hope you remember the cliff.
