Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! I'm back in the Hidden Kingdom! I'm back in the Hidden Kingdom! Hope happily thought, walking in the forest as she notice it's becoming nighttime from the sky.
The pink and white monkey wore a bright pink and dark purple backpack that was decorated with charms from her vacation and little white hearts as she drag two big bags full of her souvenirs from Japan.
Why did I ask that cart guy to drop me off at the forest? I know this is the forest closest to Big Green, but maybe I could have ask that guy yo drop me off a little bit closer to Big Green. Hope thought as soon as reality slowly hit her in the face like a brick wall.
"Maybe I should go to my tree house first for some rest, then go to Big Green. I'm sure they can wait for me for one day." Hope said to herself. "I need a snack."
Using her tail, Hope pull out a pocky of classic chocolate pocky. She froze in place once she heard some of the bushes move.
There are animals that eat meat in the Hidden Kingdom. I hope they don't eat monkeys, like Harper. Are monkeys even tasty or do everything taste like chicken? Hope thought, walking on the path to her tee house.
"I think I should keep walking." Hope said to herself, walking a bit faster.
She heard the sound of moving bushes have gotten louder.
"Running! Better start running. Running. Running." Hope said, running as she could see her tree house in her sight.
The sound have gotten even more louder than before.
"Sprinting! Yes, I better keep on sprinting!" Hope shouted, sprinting all the way to her tree house's front door.
"Where did I keep the keys?!" Hope panicked, searching everything she have.
Once she heard a bark behind her, Hope let out a scream, trying to use her arms and bags to protect herself with her eyes closed.
"Don't eat me! I don't think monkeys taste like chicken!" Hope shouted, waiting for the attack but it never came.
"Good, because I want that pocky instead." She heard a female voice.
Hope slowly open an eye to see a wolf in front of her.
A wolf? Hope thought.
The wolf in front of her have white fur with some black on her face, the tip of her tail was navy blue, a small, red spot was on her back, and blueish-black eyes. Hope could see a small, light blue bag decorated with a dark blue diamond pattern on it beside the wolf.
How did she get up here? I use a rope ladder to get up here, and I believe that paws and rope ladders don't really mix well if you ask me . Hope thought.
Hope look at the wolf and ask, "How did you get up here? Paws kind of make it hard to get up here with a rope ladder."
"I used my claws and teeth." The wolf said, holding up her paw.
Did she use her teeth to grab the ladder while using her claws on the tree to keep her steady, or something like that? Hope thought to herself.
The pink and white monkey notice the white wolf staring at the red box Hope still held onto with her tail. Protectively holding the box of pocky against her chest, Hope said, "I don't think you can eat this since it have chocolate and wolves can't eat chocolate."
The wolf pouted and said, "Do you have pocky that won't kill me?"
"Let me see..." Hope said.
Hope search through her bags to see if she packed any other flavor pocky. The pink and white monkey pull out a box of strawberry pocky and ask, "Wolves can eat strawberries, right?"
"Yes!" The wolf excitedly shouted, then grab the box with her mouth.
Hope sweatdropped, watching the wolf open the pocky box with her teeth. She thought, How does she even know about pocky? That stuff is somewhat rare to get in the Hidden Kingdom, and I get that stuff because I just came from Japan and I also work for the Vocaloids.
Her pink eyes soon notice the wolf's blueish-black eyes staring at her as the strange wolf eat some pocky.
"How did you get these? Pocky and other japanese snacks are so rare to get in the Hidden Kingdom!" The wolf said.
"I-I just came back from J-Japan." Hope nervously said, wondering what this wolf is going to do to her.
"WHAT?!" The wolf said with sparkling, excited eyes.
Hope squeaked at the sudden outburst from the wolf.
"How were you able to do that?! Humans outside of the Hidden Kingdom would freak out if they saw a monkey talking and acting like a human!" The wolf said, looking at her with disbelief.
"U-Um... Would you like to come in to continue this conversation?" Hope ask, hoping the wolf seem to be nice.
"Sure. By the way, my name is Sunshine Uchiha. Your name is...?"
"Hope."
Uchiha? I think I've heard of that last name from an anime, but I don't know which one. Hope thought, unlocking the door and letting the wolf in.
When Hope turn on the lights, Sunshine said, "Wow. It looks more like a house than tree house."
"Is that bad?" Hope ask, looking a bit nervous.
"Nope. Anyway, if I were you, I would have stayed in Japan. It have so many cool stuff." Sunshine said, sitting on the couch.
"I couldn't do that. I do have friends in the Hidden Kingdom."
"I guess that's a good point."
Sunshine let out a yawn and said, "I'm going to sleep."
As Hope watch the white wolf fell asleep, the pink and white monkey thought, I guess I can let her stay at my place for a while. She looks pretty nice, even though she just ate my snack.
Hope let out a small sigh and turn to her room she haven't slept in for months. With a smile on her face, Hope thought, It's good to be back home.
(AN: Sunshine Uchida is actually the OC of a friend of mine, who's not on FanFiction, and she let me use her OC. I hope you like her OC.)
