Writer's NOTAS(Notes): First of all, AnthonyAngryWolf, Sheihu is an original Sagwa Character. He is Sagwa's mouse friend.

Sagwa's "getting the band back together" to help Cook find the final ingredient(which will be named in this chapter and will be fictional) to cure Dongwa and Sheegwa's sickness. Plus another surprise to expect.

Sagwa met up with Fufu and Shiehu ask them to help. She knew they would be up for it, they were obviously ready for anything exciting. She ran out of the palace and to the pond where they were waiting for her.

"Fufu, Shiehu, I need your help!" said Sagwa. "Will you please come with me and the Cook to find the final ingredient for the antidote to help Dongwa and Sheegwa?"

"I'll go, Sagwa!" said Fufu.

"Me too!" said Sheihu. "I have been bored lately anyway!"

"Thank you both!" said Sagwa. "Well then, we better be leaving now if we are. The Cook is walking toward the gate!"

The adventurous trio followed the Cook outside the palace and went with him into the village. They needed to cut through the village to get to the Mountain where the Cook had always gotten the ingredient.

"Okay, Sagwa once we get to the mountain we need to keep our eyes peeled for a flower. It's pollen is the last ingredient! It's a flower with big blue pedals! It's called the "Dream Flower""said the Cook.

Sagwa meowed in response to the Cook's instructions. Now she and her friends knew what to look for.

"Oh and one more thing, this journey will take a few days. The mountain we are going to will take a while to get to, and the quickest way is through the jungle!" said the Cook.

"Cool!" said Fufu listening from the sky, holding Sheihu with his feet.

"Alright, it's almost a vacation!" said Sheihu.

Little did they know, they were being followed by someone.

The cook led the group to a field which belonged to one of his friends. They crossed through the field, with his permission, to get to the woods faster. Sagwa, Fufu and Sheihu were all getting tired by the time they made it to the jungle. The Cook had brought some things with him to start a fire and set up a tent for the night when they needed to stop. By the time they had made it to where they were at the time, right outside the jungle, it was getting dark. They started to set up camp for the night.

The Cook took only a few minutes to get his tent set up for the night and not long after it was set up, he went to sleep. Sagwa, Fufu and Sheihu stayed near the light of the lantern that the Cook had left out to keep wild animals away, but Sagwa wasn't so sure that idea was going to work.

"So, anyone got any scary stories?" said Sagwa with a rowdiness to her voice. "Because I do!"

"I don't think scary stories are the ideal thing to be talking about when we are out here!" said Fufu.

"What are you a scaredy cat?" said Sagwa.

"No, I am a scaredy bat!" said Fufu. "I am just not sure that telling stories outside in the dark is a good thing, being that any sudden noise could cause one, or all, of us to panic!"

"Fufu does have a good point, Sagwa. We don't want to draw attention to the Cook!" said Sheihu. "How about funny stories?"

"Sagwa laughs too loud!" said Fufu. "She will attract wild bears or tigers or something."

"Ha ha, very funny!" said Sagwa.

"If we ever do run into danger, I could always call the Fufu Fighters!" said Fufu.

"That was even funnier than you suggesting that my laugh is loud!" said Sagwa.

Fufu wasn't very happy with this remark. "Hey! That's not funny!" said Fufu.

"Sorry Fufu I couldn't help myself!" said Sagwa. "I got carried away."

Fufu quickly forgave her, and started laughing.

Someone had been following them all day and they returned. The bush began to make a rustling sound. The leaves and branches began to hit each other, making noises that startled the trio of "adventurers". But the noise didn't last long. Once Sagwa, Fufu and Sheihu calmed down, they collected themselves, but not without looking around to make sure something didn't sneak up on them. The follower then made his way around the tent and showed himself to the trio. They gasped when they saw him and jumped a little but were relieved when they found out that he was just another kitten. But he wasn't just another kitten, he was a familiar kitten.

"Hey aren't you the new cat in the alley?" said Sagwa.

"Yep!" said the other kitten. "My name is Shang!"

"Hi, Shang. I'm Sagwa!" said Sagwa. "And these are my friends, Fufu and Sheihu."

"Oh, you're Dongwa's sister!" said Shang. "I can tell by the fancy palace collar that you have! You must not get out much!"

"I get out more than you think! Me, Dongwa and our sister Sheegwa usually get into bigger adventures than this!" defended Sagwa.

"Take it easy! I was just kidding with you!" said Shang. Shang was a tan kitten with a black tail, and his fur was shorter than Sagwa's. His ears were both black as well.

"So, what brings you all the way out here?" said Fufu.

"Me and my family used to live where you are going! I heard you were going on an adventure and those older alley cats do boring stuff, so I decided to tag along. I knew I would eventually have to show myself. It's actually a co-incidence that we are going there!" said Shang.

Sheihu was getting nervous. He was always nervous around cats he didn't know. "Hey uh, you aren't going to try to eat me are you?" said Sheihu to Shang.

"No, I usually just eat scraps!" said Shang. "I too had mice friends, which is another reason why I don't hang much with the other alley cats. They think mice are just food! Feel better Sheihu?"

"Yes! Boy, am I relieved or what?" said Sheihu.

"Now there is one thing that I would like to know. Will you let me tag along?" said Shang.

"Well, you did kinda follow us out here!" said Sagwa. "It wouln't be right to make you go back by yourself! The more help we have to look for the dream flower, the better chance we have of finding it and the sooner we can get back home to give the antidote to Sheegwa and Dongwa."

"I heard about that, are they okay?" said Shang. "I mean are they feeling a lot of pain?"

"Not sure. They did look dizzy, and it's going to get worse the longer it takes to get the antidote to them" said Sagwa. "At least that's what the Cook says."

"Guys, I think now it would be a good time to get some sleep!" said Fufu. "Fufu cannot fly drowsy! Especially if I have to hold Sheihu! Ha ha!"

Sheihu rolled his eyes as he curled up to go to sleep. Sagwa and Fufu wound up going to sleep as well after a while too. After having no one to talk to for about half an hour after the others fell asleep, Shang also fell asleep.

In the morning, the Cook woke up as early as he normally did. He fixed himself some breakfast, as well as breakfast for his companions.

"Yum, the Cook sure knows how to cook!" said Fufu.

"Yeah it is good!" said Sheihu.

Sagwa rubbed against the Cook's leg to thank him for the meal. The Cook responded to the thanks by petting Sagwa on the head.

"Well my friends, it's time to get moving again. We have about a day and a half's worth of walking left!" said the Cook. The Cook wished that the Reader could have came along, but he understood that the Magistrate kept him busy. "I sure hope the other kittens are doing okay!"

Meanwhile back at the palace, The Magistrate met with some candidates to be the substitute cook of the palace. He would choose by the way he or she cooked. While he dealt with that, Mama and Baba Miao were busy suiting to Dongwa and Sheegwa's needs.

"Dongwa, can you talk right now?" said Baba.

"A little bit" said Dongwa. "It hurts to…" he continued as he let out a small cough.

"I know son, but don't worry! Your sister and the Cook will have the antidote within the next few days!" said Baba. "Be strong, my son!"

Baba let Dongwa go back to sleep and he jumped on the desk to sit by Mama Miao.

"It makes me so mad that something as small as a beetle caused this! I wish we could do something to keep this from happening to anyone else!" said Baba.

"All we can do is hope the Magistrate banishes them!" said Mama.

"All it will take is some convincing!" said Baba.

"I hope that convincing doesn't come at the expence of us or any of the humans!" said Mama.

"Me too!" said Baba.

Sheegwa began to moan and it was Mama's turn to tend to them.

"I'll be back, I need to help Sheegwa!" said Mama.

Well, what do you think? Will Shang get along with Fufu, Sagwa and Shiehu? Will the Magistrate find a good enough subsititue cook until the cook gets back? Find that out in the next Chapter, Chapter 3!
