Terra!
There's Terra! You just saw him walking by across the street from the distance with a lot of people on his sides.
"If you want, you can have another hamburger once you're done with this…" Venus said, gesturing to Donkey's half finish hamburger. Donkey gave a disapproving look, "How 'bout dozens of hamburgers? I can finish them all in just 10 seconds! Leftovers are also appreciated…" he grins
You study that figure to make sure if that's really Terra… It's hard to see clearly when he's very far away. What if that's someone else…?
"Just how many did you want?" ask Aqu in annoyed. Donkey thought about it, "Hmm... How about just 10 hamburgers? I can finish them all real quick! Since I'm a fast eater" Puss rolls his eyes.
"Ten hamburgers?" Aqu and Venus exclaims in surprise
You eyes widen. Terra…
It's really him…!
He's there! Terra's there…
"Here! You can have my hamburger! Better than to watch you eat…" Puss said, throwing his hamburger to Donkey's plate. Donkey smiles, "Oh, thank you Puss! That's was really nice of you… Don't mind if I do" He begins munching his hamburgers quickly, making a big mess.
Aqu, Venus, Puss and Horsie stare at him in disgust.
Aqu and Venus slowly brings their hamburger to Donkey's plate, "Uh, Here…Take this too," Aqu offers, "I'm not hungry anymore" he states. "Me too… You can have it" said Venus. Donkey grins, "Aw! Thanks guys! Much appreciated" he said with his mouth full. Venus and Puss cringe.
You look at the guys quickly, about to tell them that you just saw Terra
"There they are! The thieves!" someone shouts.
All of you turn your heads and saw the guy who was chasing Donkey yesterday, points at you all with two familiar police officers.
All of your eyes widen.
"Get them!" he yells at the officers
All of you except Donkey jolt out of your seats "Run!" Venus exclaims. Donkey looks at back at you guys in surprise before at the officers who's now running to chase you all. He looks down at his plate… No way is he going to let them waste!
He picks up a hamburger before jolting out of the seat, following after the five of you. Aqu quickly looks at you all and called, "Let's split up guys! Try to distract them from elsewhere and let's meet back at Santa Monica!"
The four of you nod and split up, just as Donkey reaches you all. He look around you guys in confuse, "Hey! What are you guys doin'? Why are we splitting up?" he asks in confuse.
"To separate them away from us!" Aqu answers, quickly mounting on the horse and tugs the rope. Donkey looks even more confuse, "Huh, what? I thought we are separating from them!" he states, following after Horsie and Aqu. Aqu looks down at him, "We are…"
Donkey raises his brow at him, "Wha~
"Just follow me!" Aqu called, tugging on the horse again to move faster. Donkey looks at him in disbelief when Aqu accelerates the horse, making it impossible for him to catch up.
"Hey wait up! You're moving way too fast!" he runs after them.
You saw Terra… You could have sworn you saw Terra. You can't believe you saw Terra.
You are now running with Venus and Puss. Venus is having a bit of a hard time running since the edge of her dress is a bit too long so she has to hold them up. Puss on the other hand has to carry his hat while running in all four so that it won't fall off.
"Is one of them chasing us?" called Puss, who's leading the way for the two of you since he's more familiar of this place. Venus looks back and gives a sweat drop. One police officer is chasing the three of you from 4 miles away…
"Afraid so… Puss! Where should we hide?" she asks in panic.
"Just follow me! I know the perfect place we can hide without being seen or caught by one of those imbéciles policía!" he states, clutching his hat protectively against his chest and now run in his boots. Venus nods, making a grunting sound then looks at you, "Stay close -. We're almost there…"
You nod at her while continuing to match their pace. You look back to see if the officer is getting close… Your heart speeds up thrice when you see that he's getting closer…! You can see that he is trying to catch his breath while chasing after you three at the same time.
When you turn your head back, you suddenly trip to the ground, almost hitting your head, but it's a good thing you manage to push yourself up before you could ended up in a flat nose. You look up to see that Venus and Puss are now a few meters away from you, not noticing that you suddenly tripped.
Venus stops and quickly turns to you in worry,
"===!"
Puss also stops after hearing Venus calling your name and saw you sprawling on the ground. You look back and see that the police officer is getting dangerously close to you guys and are about to usher the two to run and safe themselves, when Venus hurriedly went to you to help you up.
Before she was about to reach you, the police officer already grabs you by the arms and pulls you up. Venus and Puss stops in front of you two with a worried and panic look on their face. The officer gives them a smirk, "Ha! Guess you guys can't run away from me anymore!"
Venus glares, "Let her go! Or else!" she snaps. The officer gives another laugh and said in a mock voice, "Let her go! Or else! Ooh… I'm scared… A girl just threatens me!" You saw Venus gritting her teeth…
"I wonder what she'll do if I don't wanna let go of her friend… Haha, sorry missy," you saw Venus clenching her fists, "You see… I'm an officer here. My job is to arrest people who commits a crime here, such as stealing, breaking the rules, not paying for what they've took, ru~ OW!" you've just elbowed him hard on his side and break release from him.
"Ahhh! You foolish girl! You just hit me!" the officer yells, clutching his side while glaring at you. Venus and Puss look surprise to what you had just done.
The police officer slowly stood up and is about to bolt at you but luckily, Venus and Puss tackles him just in time to the ground. Venus quickly looks at you,
"===, don't worry about us! Just go find a place to safe yourself. I promise we'll come and get you!" she calls, looking at you with determination. "Ugh! Get of me!" demanded the officer, who's struggling beneath their weight.
You look at them for a while, unsure of this… then nod. The two watches you run.
You look back again to see how are they doing and saw that they are waiting for you to leave. "Go ahead chica! We got him under control!" Puss called, waving his hat around in one hand before using it to cover the police's head to prevent him from seeing you. Venus nods.
You turn your head back and continue to run away from the police's sight, hoping that Venus and Puss will be able to handle him without any trouble.
You don't know where to go. You don't know where to hide. All you know what to do is run…
You don't even know if you did the right thing, of leaving the two behind… But Venus said that they'll come to get you, right? You trust them but…where should you go?
After few minutes of running, you need to catch your breath. You stop running and try to calm yourself for a while. Your beating heart needs it.
When you look up, you saw many beautiful shops, with rich people surrounding you, shopping… You felt like stealing again… Then suddenly you realize something, Terra!
You remember that you saw Terra earlier, crossing on the road just a few miles away. That means he must be also here in Rodeo Drive.
You look around. This place is really crowded… How will you be able to find him?
You look down in thought. You remember the last time you saw Terra at the Rodeo Drive area was when you and the guys were having lunch. That area has to be at least 300 blocks or more…
But if you come back, you might get caught. Cause that's where the madman is…
You frown. But Terra's there…! You had to find him!
You're not scared of the madman. He can't stop you from finding your friend. Terra is more important than him anyway…
So you hurriedly begin to head back towards the Rodeo Drive streets, hoping that Terra is still somewhere there and that the madman is no longer there.
**After 10 minutes…**
You're lost…
Again!
You inwardly groan. Well done -, well done… You realize when you're running away from the creepy police man and after being ushered to, you weren't studying where you're going… And now you regret it.
You don't even know how read what the words meant on the map next to you. You just stare at it dumbly… Where are you?
You're not sure if the buildings around you are shops anymore. Where are the guys? You wonder how Venus and Puss are doing. You're worried about them.
You went closer to one of the building and examine it. It's a Tattoo shop. You see from the window that there are like thousands of tattoo designs with body images. When you look inside, your eyes widen in fear and surprise when you saw a man who is about to use the piercing gun on a shirtless guy, who's sitting on a lounge chair. You quickly look away… What is that man doing? You thought this is a tattoo shop...! You hurriedly went out of the way. Don't want to be the piercing man's next victim.
You decided to check the other building instead. One which is safer to look at…
The next building you check is a Salon shop. Inside the shop, you saw a hairdresser placing a mega mullet wig on a man's bald head. The man grins and examines his new hair at the mirror before paying the hairdresser and leaves. You step back when he opens the front door and saw him walking pass you, looking all confident.
When you pass by a restaurant, you saw a waiter outside who's serving plates to the customers suddenly fell to their table when the front door of the restaurant opens, causing the food from the plates to spill over the table and one customer from the table to jolt up in surprise. The customer who jolts up accidentally bumps into another waiter, who was the one who opened the front door with a large cake, causing him to drop the cake by mistake.
When the waiter who fell stood up, the other waiter angrily grabs him and chokes him since he thought he was the one who bumped into him.
Poor guy… You thought, feeling already sorry for the waiter.
**After unknown long minutes...**
You look around with slight fear. Where are you now…?
You're now in an unfamiliar place. More buildings, more unfamiliar roads, more beautiful structures, more shops, and more people… You really don't know where you are… You might probably be far away or near the Rodeo Drive streets. What if Terra is no longer there anymore?
That thought makes you panic so you quicken up your pace.
You remember that Aqu said to you guys to meet up at the Santa Monica. That, you don't even know where it is… You're screwed…
You stop you're pace and sign… You felt like giving up. It's useless… You have no idea where you are, you lost sight of your friends, you might be miles away from them and Terra might be already gone from the Rodeo Drive streets… You might fail again like yesterday and you don't want it to happen again…
When you look up, you froze…
There, standing just a few miles away from the street is the other police officer who's been chasing Aqu, Donkey and Horsie earlier. He's talking to a random people, probably asking if one of them saw you guys running this way. The random people shake their head then continue to walk. The policeman signs in frustration then look this way. Your eyes widen.
He saw you…!
He's eyes widen too. When you're about to turn and run away he grabs his whistle and whistles, pointing at you. You jump in surprise and look at him in panic.
"Stay where you are young lady!" he called, quickly approaching you.
Your eyes widen. He runs up to you as you quickly turn and run away to where you came from. "Hey stop! Don't you run away from me Miss!" he called and whistles again.
You squeeze and pushes pass people who were blocking your way. Some of them are glaring at you while some are giving you a curious look. You run as fast as you can while trying to find the best hiding place. Not possible. These streets just keep getting crowded and crowded!
You choose a random path which contains a lesser population than the rest. The lesser people, the easier to run...
From the distance, you saw a camera man and a female newscaster. The female reporter is interviewing a boy with short-sleeved green tunic and tights that is made of cloth, and a cap with a feather on it.
"Here we are now live on the Wilshire Boulevard with me about to be interviewing one of the most famous Disney celebrities ever live since the year 1915!" the blonde female reporter said, looking at the camera before she turns and smiles at the boy.
"So Peter Pan, what's it like to be the boy who wouldn't grow up and has to live for all eternal life on the small island called Neverland?" she asked excitedly before raising the microphone to Peter Pan's mouth.
Peter Pan who was standing beside her with his fist on his hips, grins then snatches the microphone away from her hand. "Well for me, to die will be an awfully big adventure. So I decided to live the life in a never ending adventure as a part of never 'growing up'!" he states confidently while pumping his chest.
You run pass them and look around quickly, trying to find if there's any place here to hide. You're draining out of energy.
"And where's your shadow? How come we didn't see him with you?" asks the reporter, looking at the ground that Peter Pan stood.
Peter Pan looks down and was surprise as well when he saw that his shadow wasn't him. He looks around, trying to find where his shadow is… until he found him then grins. He points, "There he is!"
The policeman runs pass them as Peter Pan's shadow collides with his and extend his foot so that his shadow will fall. The policeman suddenly trips to the ground with an 'oof'.
The shadow returns back to Peter Pan and both gave a high five before reattaching himself back to him.
"Ohh…! So there you are! Why don't you also meet my shadow? My shadow has been a great fan of yours ever since ~
Good.
You manage to get far enough from him at least. You study the place quickly. Where should you hide? There are a lot of shops here that you can hide in but can be seen in...
Then you got an idea.
You quickly enter inside a store and once you get in, you grab a random dress from the aisle then went to a huge selection of female wigs.
You select a long curly red hairstyle wig with bangs to cover some part of your face and hurriedly went to a fitting room.
**After 20 minutes…**
It took you long enough to adjust on wearing the new dress which is color blue and wearing the hair wig and took off the tag price. You use some of the hair wig's bang to cover half of your face while quickly straightening the dress you have previously wear and went to an aisle. You pretend that the dress you're holding is also a part of the store's dresses by placing the dress quickly into the aisle.
After that, you went to a selection of sunglasses and pick up an over-sized large round shape frame to also cover your eyes and quickly hid it at the back of your dress' neckline to avoid being seen. Good thing all of the people here are minding their own business… Or else you could get into twice trouble.
You leave the shop, acting as nonchalant as possible. When you get far enough from that store, you took out the sunglasses from behind your neckline and wear it.
There... Now you look completely different. The policeman won't recognize you at all.
Time to find Terra…
**After another unknown long minutes…**
After looking around many shops and buildings where you watch some of the rich people shop, you finally realize that you forgot to get high heels to make it look like your tall enough. What if the policeman recognizes your height?
That doesn't matter… As long as you look different he won't bother you.
You decide to take a break for a while then sit down on one of the steps of the stairway. On your left, you saw the police just run down steps by your side and looks around. You quickly adjust your wig and your sunglasses while not making it look suspicious.
You stiffen when the policeman turns to you… You gulp when he slowly approaches you…
You just sat there calmly, not wanting him to recognize the real you.
"Excuse me miss…" he called, you look up. "Have you seen a girl with a ~~~ dress and a ~~~ ~~~ hair running pass here?" he refers to you, "About this tall," he uses his hand to indicate your height, "And looks to be the age of 13 or 15?" he asks.
You immediately shake your head and shrug 'Just get outta ma face'you thought.
The policeman nods (ha!) and runs down steps again, until he reaches the ground and turns his head around, trying to look for you.
He finally turns to the right and runs again to find you. You sign in relief. That was close…
You stand up, thinking that you have enough rest and hold the edges of your dress before running down the steps. When you reach the ground, you took the left road.
When you walk on the streets with another full of shops, hotels and restaurants, a lot of people stop and turns at you, giving you a gawking look.
You stop and sweat drop. What are they staring at?
You look down and suddenly realize why... The way you dress makes you look like a celebrity. Wait, maybe they think you are a celebrity… You blush at that thought. Okay, just play cool…
You walk pass by them with your chin up and ignore all of their stares. Their staring didn't bother you… a bit. You heard murmurs and whispers every time you went pass them and saw one of the guys giving you a wink. You just shrug them all off and continue walking straight, not caring what those crowd will do next.
You were suddenly attack by group of ladies who all asked for your autograph. Each of them offers you a pen for you to sign their hand, palms, bags, faces, and some parts of their body… You back away from them, feeling a bit weird out. And to your fear, another group of people rush to you and told you to take a picture with them.
You stand stiff as one of them hold you closer to them and smile at the camera. It's a good thing you're wearing a sunglasses, or else you might go blind from all of the flashes that came from many different cameras. Before you could escape from their grasp, more people came by your side and took a picture of you. Oh boy…
Now you are being surrounded by many people…Making it hard for you to escape. You tried pushing them out of the way but only ended up being squeeze.
Out of the corner of your eyes, you saw the police man went to this road and turns his head around frantically, still searching for you. He quickly rushes to some random people and give them a description of you, asking if they've seen you running this way.
You finally squeeze all your way through the dozen amounts of people and successfully freed yourself. You sign in relief.
The female reporter from earlier just appear from around the corner with her cameraman and gasp when she saw you, "Oh! We have another celebrity!" she looks at her cameraman "Quick! This way"
Before you could run away, the familiar female from before just run into you then starts interviewing you, "Wow! You look absolutely dashing today princess" your eyes from behind the frames widen in surprise when she called you princess "I love your style!" she gestures to your dress and then touches your hair
"Have you just come from a saloon? Cause your hair looks so fabulous!" she compliments, grinning
You quickly grab her hand to stop her from touching it and shake your head frantically to show her that you don't want your hair to be touch. From the shaking of your head, the hair wig suddenly fell to the ground, causing everyone to gasp and stare at you in surprise…
Oh shirk!
Now your real hair is exposed...! The reporter looks at you in wide-eyed and mouth gape while the cameraman accidentally drops the camera his holding. When the policeman turns his head this way, he sees you!
The reporter quickly kneels down and grabs the wig while apologizing at the same time "Oh I'm so sorry princess!" she quickly places the wig back at your head, "I really had no idea that this is your wig ~
You heard the policeman blows his whistle then points at you, calling "Stop right there!"
The reporter still adjust the wig on your hair quickly, completely oblivious about the policeman. Your eyes widen when you saw that he is running his way towards you. You quickly remove the hair wig and the sunglasses and give it to the reporter before running away.
The reporter looks at you in surprise… She looks at the wig and the sunglasses before looking back at your running form. She grins then held them both up, "Thanks princess! I promise I'll keep them forever!" she called.
You look back and saw that he was trying to catch up and match your speed. You decided to increase your speed, using that as an advantage. When you turn your head back to the front, you suddenly bump into someone's hard chest and fell to your butt.
Ouch! You thought, closing your eyes tightly to get over your pain…
Someone kneels down in front of you and places a hand on your shoulder,
"Hey, are you alright?" asks a guy's voice
You have no time to response when you heard another whistle that is getting closer to you. Your eyes widen and you quickly look back. Oh ship! He's almost near…!
You quickly stood up and run, still looking at the police man behind you while pushing pass through the guy and look ahead to continue searching for a perfect place to hide.
"~"~"~"~"~"
Terra quickly regains his balance after the girl pushes him out of the way and watch her ran away.
The police man blows his whistle again as he runs passes him and exclaims, "This is your last warning! Surrender now or else I'll be going to have to call for another back up!" he warns.
Terra looks surprise… Why's a police chasing her?
He narrows his eyes in thought. And why does that girl looks so familiar…?
It's been like more than an hour of the police chasing you around in almost the entire streets…
"~"~"~"~"~"
That policeman really never likes to give up even though he looks like he could be out in a seconds.
But now you were glad 'cause you finally manage to escape from him and found your perfect hiding place, which is to get away…
You finally figured out that these streets have no hiding places.
All you can do is to get far away… Not too far away, just far enough for the police to be far away. You barely see any shops now, just a few. And you know you're no longer at the Rodeo Drive streets anymore. You're in different streets.
You notice that it is almost getting sunset. And one of the street lamp posts had already turned on.
It's getting late…which scares you. You don't know what you should do next. You sign and look down. Maybe you should just wait for Venus and Puss to get here… But, why aren't they coming yet? Is the policeman still chasing them…? That thought worries you.
You know that Aqu, Donkey and Horsie are already fine, since that the police who was chasing you earlier lost them. And yet he is still targeting you.
You hate police…
Suddenly you heard a growling sound.
Man… your hungry. You haven't eaten enough since the start of the search. You clutch your stomach as you felt it rumbling… Food… You need food. You're never use to starve to death. You look around to find a place to eat, or rather… a food to steal.
You begin to walk while scanning the area for any signs of food. Your stomach is growling again… You felt uncomfortable. There are hardly any foods to be seen here…
Maybe you should go back to where you came from. Go back to Beverly Hills where many shops, stores, restaurants, residences and rich people live there. Oh, and also find the guys, especially Terra.
Time to return back to Rodeo Drive… You got no time to waste!
So you turn around and run back to the previous streets and hopefully you'll make it on time.
You made it back to Beverly Hills streets when the sky is already dark and all of the street lights are already lid.
You stop for a while and place your hands on your knees to catch some air. You've been running while having some trouble finding your way back here for more than one hour. You can feel your heart pounding on your chest and need to calm it down before running again. But you are tired of running so maybe walking is a good idea.
When your heart is at a normal rate, you stood up straight and continue to walk your way to the streets where you hope it will lead you to the Rodeo Drive Boulevard. You stop when you felt your stomach rumbling again. You grit your teeth and grip your stomach tightly.
Now you understand how Donkey felt… Being hungry is like being fainting… You really need to eat now. You can't keep up like this… You desperately need food to avoid collapsing anytime soon.
You quickly move again while still gripping on your stomach tightly. You have to focus -…
FOCUS!
**After 26 minutes…**
Your almost there… Almost near to the Rodeo Drive streets again. You're really hoping that you could find a way to steal some food when you're already there. You stop and hold your forehead.
Suddenly, you felt light headed… You drop down to your knees and rub your forehead vigorously. You don't want to pass out. You can't! When you open your eyes, you saw that the scenery in front of you blur slightly. You shake your head to clear the blurriness and blink.
When the scenery around you is clear, you stood up and were glad that nobody saw you. Thank God that only a few people are here…
You quickly cross on the road where there are no more carriages passing by and made it to the next street. On this street, you saw a lot of rich people just came out from a store while carrying so many expensive things they just bought. Rich people… You narrow your eyes. You hate them just as the police.
You continue walking and on your left, you see plenty of people are having an outdoor restaurant. You suddenly drool when your eyes focus on the deserts some of them are having and felt the urge to steal it and run away from them. Too bad that can only causes you trouble. Your stomach growls just in time when you saw how delicious their dinner looks like... You clench your eyes shut and continued walking, trying not to let the sight of the food distract you.
**After 15 minutes…**
You felt like your legs are almost about to give up.
You're losing strength. You need…more…energy… Every after minute, your stomach will begin to growl. This time, more loudly and more eagerly…
You stop walking. Your about to lose it… Your nearly about to collapse.
You feel very weak at this moment and don't know if you'll be able to make through… You weakly grab your forehead again when you felt another light headed forming.
What's happening to you…? You never felt like this before… Are... Are you dying…?
When you look up, your eyes widen…
Is that Terra?
Yes! It's Terra! Terra's there!
All of your signs of symptoms have suddenly vanished and been replaced by strength when you saw Terra. Terra's just inside of one of the stores in just a few miles away so you start running to him.
You finally found him…
You finally found your friend! You never felt so glad and relief in all your life!
In just 30 seconds, you slam open the door of the luxury department store, which causes some of the people inside to their turn head in surprise at you, and look around frantically for Terra while admiring the place at the same time… This shop contains clothing and accessories for men and women. All items here look expensive. Who cares? You're here to see Terra!
You found Terra just walking by the aisles and quickly went to him. When you reach him, you turn him around and quickly hug him.
He looks down at you in surprise, still not recognizing you… You release him and smile up at him, so glad to see him. After a few seconds of studying you, he looks at you curiously…
"===…? Is…Is that you?" he ask unsurely.
You grin and nod. He immediately hugs you and says in relief, "Oh, Thank God…" He suddenly realizes something and releases you, giving you a slight funny look.
"What happened to you?"
You blush and look down, smiling slyly… Oh, he noticed your transformation. You smile sheepishly at him again and try to make a body language gesture. You use both of your hands to make a shape of a potion and reach it to your open mouth, signaling that you've drank a potion. Terra raises his brow,
"You're…thirsty?" he asks, curious. You sweat drop. You shake your head and do it again. This time, you did another Potion shape with your hands and bring it up your lips and pretended that you're drinking it. Then you gesture your two fingers to your eyes and pointed at him, signaling that you drank a potion to find him. Terra looks at you unsurely,
"You drank while watching me…?" You face palm.
You shake your head again and try to repeat the same body language. This time, you added yourself. You did another 'potion' shape with your hands and reach it up your lips, 'drinking' it and gesture to your transform self before pointing your two fingers at your eyes again then at him, signaling that you drank a potion that transformed you so that you could find him. Terra looks at you questionably,
"You drank a bottle that makes you grew taller so that you can find me…?" he guesses. You sign in defeat and slowly shake your head. Terra signs too and then looks at you in apology, "I'm sorry -… I'm not good in understanding any sign languages. Maybe I'll just ask Ven and Aqua what happens…" then he froze, "Wait… Where's Ven and Aqua? Why aren't they with you? Are they lost?" he asks, placing his hands on your shoulder and looking at you straight in the eyes…
You frown and nod. You then look at the window outside and gesture to him that their somewhere out there… Terra seems to understand that then looks at you, "Come on. Let's start to find them. They might also be here around the streets…" he stated. You nod then followed him out of the department store.
"~"~"~"~"~"
It took you a moment to realize that you and Terra are already at the Rodeo Drive streets. You must have not recognized it before when you've started to feel weak and light headed.
You and Terra are now walking together at the Rodeo Drive streets. The both of you are in a quest to find Ven and Aqua. But he doesn't recognize that they as well, had also transformed. You can't wait to see what his reaction would be when he found out that Aqua and Ven are actually Aqu and Venus…
"Have you guys also been here before? Like, you know, trying to search for me?" he asks, looking down at you. You look at him and nod. Terra nods, "I see… I figured that you guys must have also been here." You look at him in surprise. He smiles at you, "After all, we're all suppose to be here right? To go shopping with you...?" You grin and nod.
That's right. You were all supposed to be here... The four of you spending you're time together.
Terra grins back then chuckles, "Instead, we all ended up getting separated… How much trouble is that?" You chuckle too. Yeah, you agree... That caused a lot of trouble.
Terra looks at you, "===, where was the last time you and the two last seen each other?" he asks.
Suddenly you remember that Aqu told that you'll all meet up at Santa Monica after you guys split up.
You grab Terra's hand quickly and begin to lead the way. Terra looks down at you in surprise.
"Do… Do you know where you're leading us?" he asks, giving you an unsure look.
You look at him in determination and nod. All of your memories of these places return. You finally know where the Santa Monica is… Just continue walking all the way upward to the streets of Rodeo Drive and you'll two reach there…Terra looks at you again,
"Are you taking us to the place where you guys were last seen…?" he asks.
You nod. Yes, almost… Santa Monica is the place where you guys are suppose to be seen… Terra nods, "Okay… Lead the way."
The walk from the Rodeo Drive is 700 blocks away, taking you guys at least 18 minutes to reach Santa Monica Boulevard that you remember has a lot of Pine trees at the
streets.
When you two already there, you frown when you didn't see Aqu, Venus, Donkey, Puss and Horsie… You're starting to feel very worried and wondered what happen to them. A lot of questions already filled in your mind like, what happen? Do the police caught them and sent them to jail? Are they okay? They did all meet? What happened to Venus and Puss? What happened to Aqu, Donkey and Horsie?
While a lot of worried thought comes through your mind, Terra studies around the area and seems like he already recognize the place. He looks at you, "So Santa Monica huh? The last place where you guys last see each other…?" You look at him sadly and nod.
"===!"
"TERRA!" a female voice exclaims.
You and Terra quickly turn your heads to the voice and your eyes widen in surprise when you saw Aqu, Venus, Donkey, Puss and Horsie are there, running to you two!
"Terra!" was suddenly glomped by Venus at the front to Terra's surprise. "V-Ven?" he looks at her in surprise.
"Terra…" Venus is now hugging Terra. After a while, she falls down in one knee then slowly grabs his hand.
"It's Terra. Terra's here…" Terra looks at her in a little awkward. A tear just fell from one of Venus eyes, "We looked for you!" she exclaims, looking up at him with narrow sad eyes.
"Shh… It's okay Ven… I'm already here… You've got to pull it together." he stated calmly, using his other hand to pat Venus' hand. Venus looks up at him again with another sad expression,
"We looked everywhere for you!" she exclaims, glaring up at him to let him know that it's hard for her to pull herself together after all the trouble.
"Uh…"
Terra turns and gives another surprising look when he saw Aqu, "Aqua…?"
Aqu flushes and looks down, nodding curtly.
Terra looks at all of you and gives you three a funny look.
"What happened to you guys?"
