Where am I?
Rudy looked up to see everything brown and blurry. What was clear, was that he could see the ground. He walked until he ran into a tall green thing.
Rudy: Horton? Are you up there?
He climbed up the green thing and came to some yellow things up top. Rudy inhaled the scent.
Rudy: This smells like the flower the speck is on.
Rudy climbed on top of the flower. The pollen made him sneeze. He gazed up at the giant white puff. The joey squinted at it.
Could this be the speck? He pondered. Only one way to find out. Rudy grabbed onto the white fluff and began to climb up, when all of a sudden, he started to fall through it!
Rudy: AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!
Once he hit the ground, he opened one eye. He slowly stood up and looked around.
Rudy: What is this place?
Who woman #1: I really don't understand it. First, an elephant, and now, this weird purple kangaroo?
Who man #1: It's probably going to start raining cats and dogs next.
Who woman #1: Should we be panicking?
Who man #1: Nah. That elephant was walking around with the mayor, I'm sure it's fine.
Rudy's eyes widened. He went up to the Who man.
Rudy: Excuse me. Where did you see that elephant?
Who man #1: Why, he was with Mayor Ned McDodd just a while ago. I think they were headed to the mayor's house. It's that big one over there.
Rudy followed the man's finger to a big house.
Rudy: Thank you!
The kangaroo dashed off in search of Horton.
Up above, Tommy and Jessica had met up with Kangaroo's team down below Mount Nool.
Morton: I take it you didn't find anything.
Tommy: Nope.
Kangaroo: Where's Rudy?
Tommy put the remote behind his back.
Tommy: Um- who's Rudy?
Kangaroo: Don't play dumb with me! Where is Rudy?
Tommy: He's at a place.
Kangaroo: What's that behind your back?
Tommy: Nothing.
Jessica: Okay, like, Rudy is still inspecting the mountain, but he said, like don't go up there because he thinks he found something and he doesn't want anyone to get hurt, or something like that.
Tommy nodded his head in agreement.
Kangaroo quickly grabbed the remote from Tommy's hands behind his back unexpectedly.
Tommy and Jessica: No!
Kangaroo: Is this that device that makes things disappear?
Tommy and Jessica: No!
Kangaroo zapped a tree and watched it disappear before their eyes.
Tommy and Jessica looked nervously at her.
Kangaroo: HE BETTER BE UP THERE!
Kangaroo threw the remote down and it landed on Morton. She stormed up the mountain, followed by the others.
Kangaroo: RUDY! RUDY!
Kangaroo walked all the way around the mountain, but couldn't find her son.
Kangaroo: My baby!
Morton: Look, if he's in the same place as Horton, I'm sure he's-
Kangaroo: Give me that!
The kangaroo grabbed the remote and aimed it at herself.
Kangaroo: I'm coming, My Baby!!!!
Kangaroo shrunk down to Who size. She didn't know where she was going, but her mother's instinct told her to climb up the flower and go into the speck, and that's just what she did.
She fell down into Whoville. Kangaroo didn't even let it register to wonder where she was, so she just took off looking for Rudy.
Tommy: Now what do we do?
Morton: Think of a plan.
Down below, Rudy had found Horton and the McDodd family.
Horton: I still can't believe you found me.
Rudy: Me neither! I'm so happy that you're alive!
Jojo: So you're from up there just like Horton?
Rudy: Yeah! In the Jungle of Nool. It's very tropical up there. There isn't much to do. We don't have fancy things like toys and stuff. It's all nature.
Jojo: Do you at least have some music?
Rudy: Well, there's singing.
Jojo: Have you ever used a musical instrument?
Rudy: A what?
Jojo: I'll show you.
Jojo into the house and then came back out with a gold horn. He played a little tune.
Rudy: Whoa. How does it do that?
Jojo: It's just- I guess it just creates sound when you blow into it. It's the shape and form. Wanna try?
Rudy gave the horn a good blow.
Rudy: Wow!
Jojo: Here, I've been creating new sounds for years. I'll show you.
Jojo began to lead Rudy off to the old observatory.
Mayor: You know, Horton, you still need to meet some other people. Come on!
Horton: Okay. Rudy, you coming too?
Rudy: Uh- you can go ahead. I'll catch up with you later.
