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.
