Chapter 7: Always there
As the moon came out. The grown-ups and the rest of Mario's friends looked at the island.
(Headphones) Maybe they're on that island.
(Isabelle) There's no way to swim over there.
(Brer Gator) I looked under the ocean. I saw what looked like a land bridge under it. I guess they crossed it and then an earthquake caused a title wave and sank it.
(Topps) Even if the kids made it to the island how are we going to get there?
(Tom Nook) Hey. Did anyone notice that Hyp is gone to?
Hyp's father looked at Tom Nook.
(Hyp's farther) I saw what he was doing. He, Nod, and Mutt used a log to cross the ocean to the island. They wanted to see if your kids were on it. I saw them on long sticks attached together.
(Specs) That was a raft.
(Hyp's father) They tried to get back but Swimming Sharp-teeth stopped them. Lucky for them they all got back to the island safely with Hyp.
All the grown-ups looked at Hyp's father.
(Grandpa Longneck) Well we now know the kids are alright.
(Topps) If only they could find a safer way back to us.
(Isabelle) Oh that's right. I also gave them crafting tables so they can craft anything and they're keeping it safe.
The gang had a hard time sleeping. They couldn't stop thinking about the grown-ups. Cera then saw a scary shadow.
(Cera) What's that?
Mario saw that it was just a leaf moving from the wind.
(Mario) Don't worry. It's just a trick of the wind.
(Ducky) Guys. Over there.
Ducky was pointing to a Sharp-tooth in the shadows until the moon revealed it as a rock with sticks next to it.
(Mario) Good thing i have my crafting table in my pocket so we can build a tent to sleep.
(Ducky) On one hand it's a great idea. But on the other hand It is no use but not the tent because it's a good thing. I can not sleep without my mommy.
(Hyp) You miss her. Don't you. I shouldn't have come here. I'm starting to miss my dad too.
Spike licks Hyp for his response and he giggled and little and wiped his face.
(Ducky) You also miss my mommy spike?
Spike licks Ducky for her question and she giggled a little.
(Ducky) I know you miss her.
Ducky gave Spike a hug and it made him wag his tail like a dog.
(Mario) You know we're all starting to miss them and even the rest of the others.
(Ducky) When the sun went down. And everyone was sleeping. If I heard a sound like things around me creeping. She would wrap her tail around me. And tell me "Don't be Scared." And I knew that I was safe because she's always there.
(Cera) When the storms would come. And things in the world seem so bad. When i'd want to cry. Almost. I'd listen to my dad. He'd promise that the rain will pass. The day would soon be fair. And I was never afraid because he's always there.
(All) Always there. Someone you can count on to comfort you. Always there. Like a green, green, valley you can come home to.
(Littlefoot) I remember now. Like it was yesterday. She would hold me close. And then i'd hear her say. "You know i'll never leave you. You can find me everywhere. In the morning light, the evening star. I'm always there."
(All) Always there. Someone you can count on to comfort you. Always there. Like a green, green, valley you can come home to.
(Tickles) Always there.
As their sad short song ended, they fell asleep. But only Mario and Hyp stayed awake.
(Mario) Say. Hyp. Where's your mother?
(Hyp) She never made it to The Great Valley. She died in the big earthquake that separated the others from their families.
(Mario) I think Littlefoot will know how you feel. His mother also died in the same earthquake.
(Hyp) Oh.
(Mario) Don't worry. We'll find a safe way off the island someday.
(Hyp) I hope you're right.
With that, the 2 fell asleep.
