(60 hours remain)
What am I to do now?! I'm stuck Terpinya or whatever this fairy land is called with some kid in a dress with a talking lightbulb! Kazooie thought. She finally, after an hour in the sand, got up using her powerful legs and bending her legs forward. Her body was stiff and cold. Luckily, her broken wing was numbed a little so the pain wasn't completely unbearable. She slowly stood up. Her feathers were ruffled by a gust of wind. She let the gust blow away the sand, as she looked like a sand-crested breegull.
She turned to her right to see Link, Tatl, and Epona asleep near by. Epona's body was facing the ocean, protecting Link and Tatl's body from the cold ocean air. The only light was from the dimmed body of Tatl in Link's hand and from the moon......THE MOON!!!! Kazooie gaped at the rock above. It had a mouth, but that wasn't all. It had eyes. Heck, it had an entire face! And it was so close. So close that Kazooie could fly up there and peck it's ugly 'head'.
"I must be dreaming," She said out loud to herself. She began to pace. "Besides I'm talking to myself!"

The Banjo and Kazooie residence was too quiet, even for night. Unless, of course, you counted Banjo's occasional whimpering about "how it was all his fault". Tooty couldn't sleep. She was worried about where Kazooie was and if she was okay. Her other concern was Banjo. She shifted from her back on to her stomach. It made her feel uncomfortable that her brother was constantly moping about ever since Kazooie left.
She gave her toy monkey a squeeze, causing it to give out a loud "Ooohhh! Oooh! Ahah! Ah! OOOOO!"
"Kazooie.....zzzzz....sorry....zzzzzz........forgive....mmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeee......" Banjo mumbled in his sleep while moving to the left, facing his backpack.
Both bears somehow feel asleep that night, both having nightmares about what was happening to Kazooie. Tooty dreamt that Kazooie had been attacked and captured by cannibals. Banjo's dream was even worse. He dreamt that he and Kazooie were having a picnic in some odd place. In the sky there is a face of evil and a town near by had a very odd clock in the center of it. All of a sudden Kazooie is grabbed from behind by the same face that was in the sky. Banjo tries to save her, but can't move. Kazooie says nothing and allows the face to take her away. Then everything turns black and a voice echos, "She will meet a terrible fate..."
Banjo finds himself sitting strait up in bed, panting and tears streaming down his face. Without thinking, he gets dressed and puts on his backpack with a sigh.
He was expecting a red feathered breegull to pop out and ask, "Where to, fuzz-found-in-a-dryer?" He walked slowly over to door, the loose boards creaking at his heavy weight. But just as he was about to open the door, he looked back at Tooty. He couldn't leave without letting her know. He walked over to his night stand and grabbed a pencil and two sheets of paper. On one he wrote,
Dear Tooty,
I'm leaving to go find Kazooie. Bottles will watch over you while I'm gone.
Your big brother,
Banjo
After writing that letter, he posted on the door with a tact. Then he started to work on another one.
Dear Bottles,
I have a really big favor of you to carry out. Please watch over Tooty. I'm going to go search for Kazooie.
Your friend,
Banjo
He walked outside into the cold. The wind blew Banjo's thick fur coat into a frenzy and his ears were pushed back. After grabbing a jacket and stuffing it in his pack and a final glance at his little sister wrapped tightly in her favorite big, blue blanket, he closed the door. He stopped by one of Bottles's mole hills and neeled down. He buried the letter under it into the tunnel. With no more then a backpack and some yellow shorts, he set off on quest for a lost friend. By himself.
