Chapter 2: Something Not Right
Diddy had met up with Conker and Timber and dropped by a shop to get something to eat. Diddy stood at the entrance waiting for Dixie.
"Where is she?" He asked aloud. Timber scratched his head.
"Maybe she got sidetracked playing with her pets in the jungle," Timber replied. "You know how much of an animal lover she is."
Diddy nodded and sighed. "Yeah I guess you're right. Maybe she'll catch up later. You guys wanna go eat?"
The two other friends agreed, and the trio went in and got some food.
Everything was dark, and her head hurt bad. Something or someone had hit her in the back of the head while she was leaving to go meet with Diddy and the others. Dixie slowly opened her eyes to gain focus and see where she was. She was chained to the wall in a dark cell area with no windows, stone walls and a stone floor, and a jail cell with no bars or window. Her wrists were chained above her head, and her feet were attached to manacles within the wall. It was cold in the room, and she shivered from the air.
"Hello! Someone help! Let me out of here! Please!" She yelled. Dixie looked around, and saw no hope of escape whatsoever. She tried moving to get her wrists and feet out of the manacles, but to no avail. Dixie sighed, and looked down. Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming from another area towards her cell. Dixie steeled herself for whoever captured her and brought her here, and tried her best not to be scared. However, that was to be short-lived.
The door to her cell opened, and Dixie gasped at who stood in the doorway.
"You! But how?" She exclaimed. Her eyes were wide with fear as the shadow of her captor smirked at her.
Diddy sat there eating his banana cream pie slice, while Conker and Timber took drinks of their sodas.
"Dixie is really taking a long time," Diddy said. "Maybe I should go look for her."
Timber nodded. "Yeah, she has been gone awhile."
Diddy got up and put his money on the table for the bill. "Sorry guys, but I'm worried about her. This definitely isn't like her at all. She would usually call me or something if she was gonna be busy with something."
Conker and Timber looked up at Diddy. "What's up man? You gonna head out," Conker asked. Diddy nodded.
"Yeah, I'm gonna see if anyone has heard from Dixie," he replied. Conker and Timber got up and followed suit. The three walked out of the restaurant after putting their money on the table, and left to find see where his missing girlfriend was.
The three teens headed back to Dixie's house to see if she was there. Tiny Kong was laying there on her bed, watching tv.
"Hey guys, whatcha doing?" the young teen said. Tiny Kong had matured a bit over the past few years into a tall, busty teenage girl. She had her trademark beanie and twin ponytails still. She wore a blue halter top and pants though with sandals. "Isn't Dixie with you guys?"
Diddy shook his head, and took off his cap, scratching his head. "No, I thought she was gonna meet us for lunch. But she never showed up. We thought she may have headed back home."
Conker leaned back against the wall of the hut, crossing his arms. "That's funny. She would have texted Diddy or you to let you know what she was up to or if she was changing plans. You think she's ok? I mean, damn, we should go look for her." Tiny jumped off the bed and agreed.
"Yeah, no one messes with my big sis! This totally isn't like her!" She said. "Diddy, you and the guys go look for her in the jungle and I'll see if anyone else has seen her."
Diddy nodded and Timber did, too. Conker grinned and ran off.
"I'm going to grab my Bazooka gun dudes!" He yelled. Timber sighed.
"I guess I'll go and grab some supplies and all. Diddy you should get ready too. We may have an adventure waiting for us after all."
Diddy's heart felt anxious at all of this, but more nervous for Dixie. What had happened to her? He hoped she was safe, wherever she was. Diddy looked to Tiny, and nodded. "Well, I asked for an adventure. Guess I got my wish. Today looks like more than just a day away from school."
With that, Diddy left to go to his hut to get his weapons and supplies.
