Little Chao Lost

(Ayla's POV)

*It was now summer. Chris, Danny, Frances, Tyler, Izzy, & Jake were off from school. We were going on a trip to Tanaka's home country of Japan (Helen couldn't come). I was really excited. He had told me stories about it, & I was looking forward to seeing it for real. Mr. Stewart was also coming with us, which Izzy was really happy about (apparently, she likes older men). After a long plane ride, we took a train from the city to the country. My brother immediately took off from the airport & went off to explore. I really wish my brother would learn to sit still*

Chris:*looking at a map* Let's see, it says the town is located deep in the mountains. I guess we'll have to transfer here. It should take another hour.

Amy: What? How far do we have to go?

*Mr. Stewart walked away somewhere*

Danny: It's not that far, Amy. Why not think of this as just part of the adventure?

Amy: Camping's not my idea on an adventure.

Frances: Oh, we're gonna have lotsa fun, I promise.

Amy: Alright, if you say so.

Frances: I do.

Tails: Hey Chris. So, you know a good place to set up camp when we get there?

Chris: I hear there's a great place right near a river north of here. It's nice and peaceful and it's good for fishing too.

Cream: That sounds like a perfect spot. And maybe you and I could go for a swim, Cheese. Sounds fun?

Cheese: Chao!

Ayla: I'm hoping to learn more about this countries history from Mr. Tanaka.

Jake: After our camping trip, I'm hoping to explore Tokyo. I want to try some authentic Japanese food.

Izzy: And I want to go to a real Cat Cafe.

Tyler:*holding a butterfly net* I just want to catch some rare Japanese bugs.

*I looked at Me. Stewart. He was looking at the bus schedule. He then pulled a yellow flag out*

Mr. Stewart: Alright, students, line up! The bus will be here any minute now!

*He blew a whistle*

Danny: Mr. Stewart sure is excited.

Chris: I'll say.

Tails: Hey Frances, how come Mr. Stewart's coming? Wouldn't this trip be a lot more fun if it was just us kids?

Frances: I don't know. Maybe he wants to have fun too.

Amy: All I can say is this whole camping thing better be fun, or they're gonna hear it from me.

Ayla: Don't worry, Amy. It'll be fun. I promise.

Chris: Where's Sonic, anyway?

Tails: Sonic's not much for camping. He says he's gonna explore the city. He's on his way there now,

Izzy: Well, he doesn't know what he's missing.


(Gotta Go Fast!)

*Soon, the bus arrived & we all got on. We went through the woods & looked at the mountains in the distance*

Cream: Look at that!

Cheese: Chao-Chao.

*We met Tanaka at the next stop*

Chris: Mr. Tanaka were here!

Mr. Tanaka: I trust you had a safe trip.

Ayla: Your homeland is really beautiful, Mr. Tanaka.

Mr. Tanaka: Thank you, Miss Ayla. I hope you, and your friends will enjoy your stay here. It certainly was a wonderful place for a boy to grow up.

Chris: I can see why.

Amy: Where do we go from here, Mr. Tanaka?

Mr. Tanaka: Well, just follow me and I will take you there.

*He was about to do that, when Mr. Stewart got in front of him*

Mr. Stewart: Now hold on just a minute there, sir! Uh, just let me get out my flag here. I will be your official guide! Step lively, kids!

Jake:*whispering* He does know some of us are in highschool, right?

Izzy:*whispered* Some people just like being in charge.

*We began hiking to the campsite*

Cream: Look at the mountains!

Amy: And all the nature around us!

Chris: Nothing but blue skies, trees, grass. Sure is pretty, huh Cream?

Cream: It's the most beautiful place we've ever seen! Isn't it, Cheese?

Cheese: Chao-Chao.

*Soon, we arrived at the campsite. Everyone went off to do their own thing. Amy, Mr. Stewart, & Tanaka started making lunch. Tails, Chris, Danny, Tyler, & Jake went hunting for bugs. Frances, Izzy, & Cream went wading in the river. Cheese was just floating on the water. And I sat on a rock nearby, reading a book about Japan's history*

Frances: Wow, look at all the fish, Cream!

Cream: Yeah, they're so . . . *she ran to catch one, but missed* It jumped!

Izzy: Don't worry, there's plenty more.

Frances: Cheese, watch out!

*I looked & saw Cheese getting caught in the current of the river & floating downstream*

Cream: Cheese!

*I jumped into the water & grabbed Cream before she went after him*

Ayla: No, Cream! We have to go back & tell the others!

*We made it back to the camp & told everyone what happened*

Mr. Stewart: Cheese must be downriver somewhere.

Mr. Tanaka: About a mile from this spot, the river splits off in two different directions. There is no telling which way the current was traveling.

*Cream started crying*

Cream: Cheese.

*I bent down & hugged her*

Ayla: It's okay, Cream. Don't cry.

Amy: Yeah. Remember Cheese is a very good swimmer.

Tails: Yeah, Amy's right.

Frances: I feel so bad, I should've done something.

Izzy: If only I had been able to grab him.

Chris: Don't feel bad, it's not your fault.

Tyler: What's done is done. We just have to find him.

Mr. Tanaka: The current may be rapid, but there are many areas where the water is shallow. Cheese may very well be stuck in a patch of sand somewhere.

Danny: Let's all search right away!

Tails: Okay, we'll start an official search party!

All: Yeah!

*We (except Amy & Tanaka) all started walking down the riverside, calling out for Cheese*

Mr. Stewart: Cheese! We're coming to get you!

Frances: Hey Cheese!

Ayla: Cheese! Where are you!?

Tyler: Cheese! Can you hear us!?

Izzy: Cheese!

Jake: Yo, Cheese!

Chris: Cheese! Are you there!

*Suddenly, Chris & I heard something like shout*

Ayla: Did you guys hear that?

Chris: Was that a voice coming from over there?

Frances: Was it Cheese?

Chris: No, it sounded like a man.

Mr. Stewart: Maybe someone else is camping.

Chris: Maybe.

*We went back to searching & soon found a small tunnel in the rocks*

Cream: What if Cheese is inside that tunnel?

Mr. Stewart: I'll look. *he looked into the tunnel* I'm afraid I can't fit.

Tyler: I don't think we could fit either.

Chris: I'll bet we could all fit no problem

Mr. Stewart: Alright, promise you'll be careful.

Chris: Okay.

*Me, Chris, Tails, Cream, Frances, & Danny all crawled into the tunnel*

Mr. Stewart: Just make sure you don't lose your way.

Frances: We won't.


(Third-person POV)

*Mr. Stewart turned away from Tyler, Izzy, & Jake & turned on his watch. A red dot appeared on the screen*

Mr. Stewart:*whispering* Hey, they're coming in loud and clear.

Tyler: What are you doing?

*Mr. Stewart yelped & hid his watch behind his back*

Mr. Stewart: Nothing!

*The 3 teenagers gave him suspicious looks. But they shrugged & went back to camp. Mr. Stewart signed in relief*


(Ayla's POV)

*We kept crawling through the tunnel until we reached the end*

Chris: Guess this is the end of the tunnel. I wonder what's out here.

*He gasped*

Frances: What?

*Tails, Cream, & I all gasped*

Chris: Is . . . this real? It can't be! *I couldn't believe my eyes. It was a whole bunch of Chao. swimming in the pond or just flying around. I've never seen this many Chao in one place* Hey, they all look just like Cheese.

Tails: I can't believe it! It's a Chao colony!

*We all went towards them & some of the Chao crowded around us*

Frances: Ah, they're all so cute.

Danny: Hey look Chris, they really like us.

Chris: Yeah, I guess they can sense that we're friendly.

*One pulled on Tails' face*

Tails: Hey, this one wants to go for a swim.

*Cream was still looking for Cheese*

Cream: Cheese! *a Chao flew up to her* Is that you? I guess not. *another one came up to her* Oh, Cheese! Sorry.

Cheese: Chao! Chao-Chao!

Cream: There you are! Cheese! *she ran towards Cheese & hugged him* Oh Cheese, you're okay.

Frances: She's so happy. Come on out of that water, Cream. Your getting your feet all soggy.

Cream: I don't mind. All that matters is Cheese is okay.

Chris: He sure is. Are you happy?

Cream: Yes.

Tails: Looks like Cheese made some friends.

Cheese: Chao-Chao.

*Suddenly, before I could react, I was being surrounded by by an army of Chao & then tackled to the ground*

Ayla: Aaagh!

Danny: What up? Huh!?

Chris: Ayla! Are you ok!?

*Just then, I started laughing. They were all cuddling & tickling me*

Ayla: Stop! That tickles! That tickles!*laughing*

Chris: What's going on?

Danny: It looks like she's laughing.

Tails: This happens a lot. For some reason, Chao immediately take a liking to Ayla when they see her.

Frances: Why?

Cream: I guess it's because they can sense that she's a really nice person.

Cheese: Chao-Chao.

Danny: That's not all they seem excited about.

Chris: I bet they're just happy that Cheese found his friends again, that's all

Frances: I think your right.

Chris: It really is pretty here, don't you think?

Frances: Sure is, let's look around!

*We stayed for a little while & played with the Chao*

Chris: Come on, throw the ball, Danny.

*They were playing catch with a yellow ball. One Chao caught it*

Cream: Hey, nice catch

*Chris & Frances were picking fruit from a nearby tree*

Chris: Ah, these look great. Here.

Frances: Here you go. *they gave some to the Chao & they ate them* Look how they gobble them up!

Chris: Hey Tails, do the Chao on Mobius have little colonies like this too?

Tails: Yup. They have colonies in a lot of places, but there has to be plenty of fresh water. And since the water has to be kept clean, most of the Chao colonies are kept a secret.

Ayla: They're kind of like miniature nature parks.

Frances: I guess they're kept in secret here too, I've never seen anything like this. It's like a whole different world.

Tails: Yeah, a secret world.

Ayla: Our own little wonderland.

*Soon, it was time for us to go*

Chris: Bye you guys.

Cheese: Chao-Chao.

Tails & Cream: See you later!

Ayla: Bye.

*We made our way out of the tunnel & made our way back to camp. Cheese was starting to look sad*

Cheese: Chao-Chao.

Cream: You look lonesome, don't you, Cheese?

Chris: Maybe we can come back here next year.

Danny: Sure, we can pack some sandwiches and maybe play some baseball, and Cheese can play with his new friends again.

Ayla:*in her mind* That is if we're still in this world when that time comes. A lot can happen in a year.

Cream: Yeah. Cheese, that sound good?

Cheese: Chao-Chao! *then he started looking scared* Chao-Chao!

*We looked up & I giant robot flew right up to us*

Dr. Eggman: Good day, my little explorers.

Chris: Him again.

*The robot landed in the woods nearby*

Dr. Eggman: Okay kiddies, let's have it. Hand over that Chaos Emerald or else!

Chris: What Chaos Emerald?

Frances: What are you talking about?

Dr. Eggman: Don't play coy with me! Why else would you scavengers be snooping around here for? Now hand it over!

Danny: Huh?

Chris: He must have seen us looking for Cheese and thought we were hunting for a Chaos Emerald.

Tails: That's why he's so upset.

Chris: Hey, there aren't any Chaos Emeralds around here!

Ayla: If you think there's a Chaos Emerald around here, you really do have Eggs in your head!

Dr. Eggman: You can't fool me, you Emerald snatchers!

Decoe: DO NOT GET OVER EXCITED, DOCTOR.

Bocoe: YOU ARE BEGINNING TO PERSPIRE.

Dr. Eggman: Well then if you bite size meddlers won't cooperate with me, perhaps my friend E-66 will convince you!

*The robot, E-66, took a step towards us. Just then, & fell down the slope into the river. All the mud from the slip started getting the river dirty*

Danny: How did that happen?

Tails: The soil around here must be really soft

Frances: It serves him right for sicking his robot on us

Cream: Oh no, the water! It's all muddy!

Cheese: Chao-Chao!

Chris: Hey you guys, that river leads into the Chao colony

Ayla: Then let's hurry! We have to do something!

Chris: Let's go!

*We ran back to the Chao Garden. We made shovels & nets out of braches & leafs. We used them to dig the mud out of the water*

Danny: We'll carry the mud out with this.

Chris: I don't think we can get it all, you guys.

Frances: We have to at least try, Chris. Otherwise all those little Chao will get sick.

Tails: That's right, Frances, and if we all work together, it'll be a cinch.

Sonic:*off-screen* Now that's what I like to hear. *we all turned to see Sonic standing behind us**on-screen* So all we gotta do is get rid of that mud.

Chris: It's Sonic!

Ayla: It's about time. Where have you been?

Sonic: Just doing a little sightseeing. Now, might wanna let me take care of this. *we all stepped back* Here goes! *he started running in a circle around the lake, making mud fly everywhere. he soon stopped* Okay gang, it's all cleaned up!

*We were covered in mud, but happy that we saved the Chao Garden. The wild Chao went into the water*

Chris: Ha, you did it!

Sonic: And you're all muddy.

Ayla: And who's fault was that, huh!?

Danny: Wow, we really are dirty.

Frances: Guess I need a bath.

Chris: Thanks for doing that, Sonic.

Sonic: Hey, my pleasure.

*I glared at him & he held his hands up in defense*


*That night, we were all gathered around a fire eating dinner*

Chris: Bet you knew about the Chao colony, didn't you, Mr. Tanaka?

Mr. Tanaka: Of course I knew, Master Chris. I stumbled upon that colony when I was a boy.

Chris: Don't worry, we'll keep it a secret. Thanks to Sonic, maybe it'll still be here when I'm grown up.

Mr. Tanaka: Perhaps even beyond, Master Chris.

Ayla:*in her mind* Who knows what the future holds.
