A/N: Hey guys! Here's the next chapter! Enjoy!
Goby was drinking the chocolate river. He was enjoying the taste of it. His stomach was all full up.
"Yum yum! This stuff is delicious!" said Goby.
"What are you doing Goby?" asked Nonny.
"Hi Nonny! I'm glad you're here! Try a taste of this river! It's terrific!" said Goby.
"Grandpa, what if Goby drinks most of the river?" asked Nonny.
"Don't worry Nonny. He can't drink it all." said Grandpa Sam.
"Hey everyone! We found Goby! He's over there by the river!" said Nonny.
Everyone heard Nonny and they rushed over the bridge to the other meadow and found Nonny and Grandpa Sam with Goby. Mr and Mrs. Imani rushed over to him.
"Goby, we were so worried about you!" said Mrs. Imani.
"Oh no, you're all full up! You have eaten so much candy! I knew this would happen!" said Mr. Imani.
"Not now Mom and Dad! I'm busy drinking this river!" said Goby.
"Goby, sweetheart, save some room for later!" said Mrs. Imani.
"That's not a good thing to do son! You shouldn't do that!" said Mr. Imani.
Goby ignored them and was busy drinking the chocolate river. Mr. Bonka went over to the group and gasped at what Goby was doing.
"Hey Goby! Please don't do that! My chocolate must be untouched by human hands! Oh no! You're contaminating my entire river! Please Goby, I beg you!" said Mr. Bonka.
Goby was about to take another drink when all Mr. Bonka's shouting had made him jump. He suddenly lost his balance and had fallen in the river. He screamed as he fell in. Mrs. Imani, the rest of the guppies and their parents screamed as they saw this.
"Goby!" cried everybody.
Goby suddenly appeared in the river and was splashing about. He was drowning. His face and hair were covered in chocolate.
"Help!" he yelled.
"My chocolate, my beautiful chocolate!" panicked Mr. Bonka.
"My poor Goby is drowning! Don't just stand there, do something!" cried Mrs. Imani.
"Save him!" said Mr. Imani.
"Help. Police. Murder." said Mr. Bonka.
"That's not helping!" said Mr. Imani.
"Sorry. Guess I don't know any SOS." said Mr. Bonka.
"I have an idea!" said Grandpa Sam.
He rushed off and found a giant lollipop. He handed it to Nonny.
"Here Nonny, you can use that to help Goby." said Grandpa Sam.
"Great idea Grandpa!" said Nonny.
He bent down and handed the lollipop out to Goby.
"Quick Goby! Grab this! It'll help you out!" said Nonny.
"I'll try Nonny!" said Goby.
He was about to grab the lollipop when he suddenly got swept away along the river.
"Goby, no!" cried Mrs. Imani.
"Watch out Goby!" called Mr. Imani.
Goby was getting sucked closer to one of the pipes and had sunk deep down into the river.
"What's happening to him?" asked Mrs. Gordon.
"It looks like he's drowning." said Mr. Wahler.
"Dive in! Save him!" cried Mrs. Imani shaking Mr. Imani.
"I'll do my best!" said Mr. Imani.
He was about to get ready to dive down in the river, but he was stopped by Mr. Bonka.
"It's too late." said Mr. Bonka.
"What do you mean too late?" asked Mrs. Imani.
"He's had it now. The suction pipe has got him." said Mr. Bonka.
Bubble Puppy barked and was about to jump into the river when Gil stopped him.
"No boy! It's too dangerous!" said Gil.
"Goby, come back! Where is he?" asked Mrs. Imani.
"Watch the pipe and you'll see." said Mr. Bonka.
They all watched the pipe, but there was no sign of Goby anywhere yet.
"How long is he going to stay down Mommy?" asked Deema.
"I'm not sure darling." said Mrs. Wahler.
"He can't swim!" said Mrs. Imani.
"There's no better time to learn." said Mr. Bonka.
Suddenly, in one of the glass pipes, the chocolate disappeared in the pipe. They saw something inside that pipe which was not chocolate. It was Goby! He was slowly going up faster inside the pipe.
"Help! Help!" he yelled.
"There he goes!" said Oona.
"He doesn't sound like he's having much fun in there!" said Gil.
"Call a plumber!" said Mr. Shaskan.
"Call the fire brigade!" said Mrs. Imani.
"It's a wonder how that pipe is big enough." said Mrs. Shaskan.
Goby was starting to slow down in the pipe.
"It isn't big enough! He's slowing down!" said Nonny.
"He's going to stick!" said Gil.
"I think he has!" said Mr. Gordon.
Indeed he had stick. Goby was stuck. He couldn't get out.
"He's stuck indeed! It's his stomach that's done that!" said Mr. Gentilella.
"He's blocking all the chocolate!" said Molly.
"He's also blocked the whole pipe too!" said Mrs. Wahler.
"What happens now?" asked Grandpa Sam.
"The pressure will get him out. Look carefully and you'll see. Terrific pressure is building up behind the blockage." said Mr. Bonka.
Everyone stared at Goby in the pipe. A commotion was going on.
"I wonder how long it's going to take him to push through." said Mr. Wahler.
"The suspense is terrible. I hope it'll last." said Mr. Bonka.
"Go on boy, pull yourself up and we'll see what happens." said Mr. Gentilella.
Goby tried pulling himself up, but it was no good.
"This is terrible!" said Mrs. Imani.
"He'll never get out Grandpa! What if he'll have to spend the whole night there?" asked Nonny.
"He will get out Nonny. Watch. He'll go up just like a cork in a bottle." said Grandpa Sam.
Silence then fell as they watched Goby in the pipe. Suddenly, he shot up the pipe and disappeared through the hole in the ceiling. The chocolate was now going up in the pipe again. Everyone gasped as they saw Goby disappear. Mrs. Imani was panicking the most.
"He's gone!" said Mrs. Imani.
"Where's our son?" asked Mr. Imani.
"He'll be made into marshmallows in 5 seconds!" cried Mrs. Imani.
"Impossible! Absurd! Unthinkable! He could never be made into marshmallows!" said Mr. Bonka.
"Where does that pipe go to?" asked Mr. Imani.
"That pipe doesn't go to the marshmallow room. It happens to lead directly to the room where I make the most delicious kind of strawberry flavoured chocolate coated fudge." said Mr. Bonka.
"You terrible man!" shouted Mr. Imani.
"Then he'll be made into strawberry flavoured chocolate coated fudge! They'll be selling him by the pound all over the world tomorrow morning!" said Mrs. Imani.
"No, I wouldn't allow it. The taste would be terrible. Just imagine it. Goby-flavoured-chocolate-coated-Imani? Ewww! No one would buy it." said Mr. Bonka.
Mr. Bonka then snapped his fingers 3 times and a Fishie-Wishie appeared.
"How clever on calling someone like that!" said Grandpa Sam.
Mr. Bonka looked down at the Fishie-Wishie as he spoke directly to it.
"I want you to take Mr and Mrs. Imani straight to the Fudge Room to help them find their son. Take a long stick and start poking around inside the big chocolate mixing barrel. I'm sure he'll be in there. But look sharp, or their son is liable to get poured into the boiler." commanded Mr. Bonka.
The Fishie-Wishie nodded at that command and walked over to Mr and Mrs. Imani.
"What?!" asked Mr. Imani.
"You've boiled him up, I know it!" said Mrs. Imani.
"Don't sweat it guys! Across the desert lies the promised land! Goodbye Mr and Mrs. Imani! See you again soon!" called Mr. Bonka.
Mr and Mrs. Imani followed the Fishie-Wishie that led them to the exit of the Chocolate Room. Mr. Bonka looked at the guppies and their parents. There were now only Molly, Gil, Deema, Oona, Nonny and Bubble Puppy.
"Well, that was interesting. Let's continue on with the tour. I suppose we can continue without Goby." said Mr. Bonka.
Gil felt worried about his best friend.
"Mom, Dad, do you think Goby will be alright?" asked Gil.
"Of course he will." said Mrs. Gordon.
"Why don't we enjoy the rest of the tour son? Then, at preschool next week, you can tell him what else we saw on the journey." said Mr. Gordon.
Gil felt better and smiled at his parents as Bubble Puppy gave him a reassuring lick. He laughed as he patted him on the head.
"Thanks boy!" said Gil.
The guppies and their parents followed Mr. Bonka to another riverbank.
