Chapter 4
It wasn't long before Parappa and the others reached Atlantia. While on they were several miles away, Lammy pulled out her guitar and tried to strum it, and yet no sound had came out, because of it, she let out a sad sigh and placed it back. Once they reached Atlantia, they stopped by a local shopping mall, and went straight for the cloaths store.
Parappa came out with a hoodie, sunglasses, and a fedora. Katy came out with regular jeans, a plain T-shirt, and sandels, Lammy came out with a sunhat, jeans shorts, and a shirt that read 'lost in imagination, please send search party', PJ, came out with slacks, a baseball cap, and a hoodie, Sunny came out with sunglasses, and a red dress, Matt came out with a poker hat, a golf shirt, and loafers, Paula had a plain white shirt, jeans and tennis shoes, and Ma-sun had shoes and glasses. keeping all of their original cloaths in some bags they got from the store.. And with that they began looking for the first teacher with the only clue of finding him was that he was in color. After searching the mall with no such luck, they began searching throughout the city.
After about four hours later they came across a music school, hoping that they'll find who they were looking for. And as luck would have it, they found the person in the music room, the room is gray, as the teacher is the only one who is colorful, A tall, thin, female rabbit wearing a pair of sunglasses and some makeup.
"Well hello kids." She greeted them. "My name is Hailey Watterson. I take it that your Chop chop's students?"
"How'd you know?" Parappa asked raising an eyebrow.
"I knew him sense I was just a kid starting in high school, I was in 7th grade while he was in senior year, he was a great guy, he taught me some of his moves. Then a few years later he was holding a karate tornament in Parappatown and he wanted me to come see his students in the rounds. And that's actually how I know you kids." She explained.
"Makes sense to me." Matt said. The teacher went inside a closet and grabbed a few instruments, like the drums, a flute, a base guitar, a keyboard, a guitar, several bells, and a xcylaphone and they all were each placed at the instruments they were best at.
"I don't know, Our instruments don't work." Lammy said.
"Do not worry Lammy, I'll teach you all step by step of the ways of funk. The first step is to always fallow the beat." Hailey said. After Hearing that, Ma-sun started playing on the drums, making a normal pace beat. "That's good Ma-sun, now we need a little help from the base." Hearing that, Katy started strumming her guitar three times after three seconds each. Hailey walked up behind PJ who was at the xcylaphone, grabbed his hands which had both round hammers in his hands, and started hitting notes. "Just keep doing that PJ, you're all doing good so far!" She continued showing them when to time the instruments to make the best sound.
Parappa didn't realized it, but his foot was slowly tapping, and soon was keeping up with the beat. Pretty soon, everyone was doing the same, but they did notice that color was coming into the room, colors like green, blue, red, purple and all the other colors started forming from the music they were making, soon, the color started spreading all over the school, as students and teachers heard the music and fallowed it they had color restored to them as well.
After the music stopped, the whole room was completly filled with cheering clapping students and teachers as the princaple attempted to get to the group and succeded.
"Thank you! You know, we were planning on closing this class down, but now the students will come back, and we can start this music room back up!" He said.
"No problem." Parappa said looking down at his feet, he saw that his shoes were now completely red with the white stripe. "Hey, what's going on?"
"You have remembered the beat. Now you'll be able to tap to good music, and your close to saving the world of music." Hailey said stepping up to them as Parappa pulled out the map.
"Let's see, where to go next." He noticed that almost all of the locations have turned gray, and the place they were at turned gold, the only place to go next was in the mountins of japan."Well, we love to stay and chat, but we gotta go! Thanks Hailey!" He said as they darted out of the room and back for the van to get their original cloaths back on.
"So where next Parappa?" Paula asked.
"We're going to Japan!" He responded taking off his desquise and putting his orange beanie on.
""But how are we going to get to Japan? From plane, or boat?" Matt asked.
"I think we should take the plane." Sunny answered. "Anyone here afraid of heights?" She looked around to see everyone shaking their heads 'no.'
"Well then, it looks like we're all set." Katy said looking at the radio clock. "If we move now, we should be able to catch a plane before it departs from the nearest station." She started up the van as they left the school parking lot to find the nearest airport.
Two hours later, Papa Parappa and the Sargent have just arrived to Atlantia, they drove around for hours trying to find the gang, but no such luck.
"How hard could it be to find a group of kids?" the Sargent asked.
"Not sure, but they couldn't have gone far." Papa Parappa responded. "Let me call Parappa." he said pulling out his cell phone.
"Wait, I just remembered something!" The Sargent said pulling out a gps system. "I remembered having a chip installed into Sunny when she was born, so that way, if she gets lost, I can go get her and pick her up."
"Isn't that a bit extreme?" Papa asked raising an eyebrow.
"Well, I barely use it, because I know she's with your son, who probably had something to do with their little road trip fiasco right now!" Sargent said pointing at Papa Parappa.
"My son?" Papa asked in disbelieve.
"Yeah! Besides, he'll do anything for Sunny!"
"Now hold on, how do we know it wasn't one of their friends?"
"You know, you might be right." The sargent. Just then his GPS went off.
"So where are they?" Papa asked.
"You won't believe it." He said showing him the GPS. The two got back for the car, as they headed for the airport.
