"I know a place where no one ever goes
There's peace and quiet, beauty and repose
It's hidden in a valley, beside a mountain stream
And lying there beside the stream I find that I can dream
Only of things of beauty to the eye
Cloud-covered mountains towering to the sky
Now I know that God made this world for me." sang Julia while playing her guitar. Jin sat beside her listening, arms crossed.
"HELLO GUYS!" greeted Xiaoyu cheerfully. Jin was startled and fell from the bench. Julia was shocked and accidentally drooped the guitar on Jin's face.
"Ahhhrrrgh!" cried Jin and fainted, Julia quickly picked up her guitar from Jin's face.
"Hi Xiao," Julia greeted back.
"Hello, why is Jin sleeping on the ground?" Xiaoyu asked.
"I don't know, haha" answered Julia as she helped Jin up. Then they heard the alarm of a siren and saw hundreds of police cars approaching the park.
"Ahhhh! What is that noise. Ahhhrrgg!" yelled Jin who regained consciousness. "Are there aliens invading!"
"No there must be a crime. Let's go check it out." said Julia and they ran off to check what's going on.
"Stop right there!" said the police wearing a jumper and a shirt. A badge was pinned on his shirt which bears the name "Lei Wulong".
Hwoarang was cornered at the shoreline of the lake, he has nowhere to go. So he raised his hands, dropping the bags of cotton candy.
"So what did this man do?" Lei asked Feng just as he arrived running and breathing hard.
"Horrible, a horrible crime, he didn't pay for my precious sweets," replied Feng pointing at the bags of cotton candies on the ground.
Hwoarang turned around to face the officer and the cotton candy man then he shifted into a fighting stance. " Its just cotton candy, no big deal..." However, he was so shocked to find hundreds of police cars in front of hiom with the policemen hiding behind the cars pointing laser guns at him.
"What the--" he began.
"Cotton candies! Wait, but I thought --," then Lei sighed. He whirled around and told his fellow policemen, "Mission aborted, I'll handle this myself," he commanded them and the policemen headed back to HQ.
"So what's your reason for stealing---," Lei started.
"My precious cotton candies," said Feng
"Right, so what your reason for stealing his precious cotton candies?" Lei continued to ask Hwoarang ,who stood rooted at the shore, writing the "Cotton Candy Case" on the top of his pad.
"What's this stupidness all about?" then Hwoarang got an idea ,"I just can't resist to taste those tiny sugar bits transformed into sweet fluffy cotton. Its so amazing!" he said trying hard not to laugh.
"You like my cotton candies? You think it's amazing?" asked Feng Wei looking up at Hwoarang. Lei looked from Feng Wei to Hwoarang, confused.
"Of course I do, I don't just like it, I love it!" cried Hwoarang who was feeling stupid. Feng Wei was near in tears.
"Thanks for your love for my cotton candy, you shall be greatly rewarded. You can eat as many cotton candies as you like!" Feng said joyfully.
"Oh thank you sir, I can't thank you enough," replied Hwoarang hiding his laughter.
"Case closed." muttered Lei, sighing as he closed his notepad and slipped it inside his pocket. "Good Day folks!" he said to Hwoarang and Fei.
"Go away officer, I don't need your help!" cried Feng.
Hwoarang sticked his tongue out at Lei and waved at him. "Bye Bye officer, hahhahaha."
Lei sighed again. Just then Xiaoyu came skateboarding towards his direction and bumped at him. Xiaoyu jumped off her skateboard.
"Aaaaah," shrieked Lei stumbling down on Xiaoyu's skateboard, his head hitting a rock.
"Oh no, get up officer, quick", said Xiaoyu. Jin and Julia ran to meet Hwoarang. As soon as Hwoarang and Jin saw each other, flames of despise burned inside them.
Lei stood up, his head and back aching. "Oh no my skateboard's destryed," gasped Xiaoyu with her hand on her mouth. "Officer, what have you done?" she asked fervently.
"Oh, sorry kid I'll fix it in no time." said Lei picking up Xiaoyu's broken skateboard.
"Thanks officer, I'm Xiaoyu" said Xiaoyu reaching out one had to Lei.
"I'm officer Lei Wulong," Lei introduced himself, shaking Xiaoyu's hands. "Uhh- so I got to go, bye kid, uhh-Xiaoyu", he said smiling bu Xiaoyu aready joined the others.
"Waddup guys?" asked Xiaoyu smiling as she joined the others. Xiaoyu stared blankly at Jin and Hwoarang who were staring at each other for almost five minutes. Julia and Feng were enjoying playing with cotton candies, Xiaoyu joined them.
"Woohoo! Yummy," cried Xiaoyu joyfully, stuffing her mouth with cotton candies. She grabbed some hadful of cotton candies and went towards Hwoarang and Jin who was staring as though they're trying to disintegrate one another.
"YUMMY!" Xiaoyu said in booming voice as she stuffed cotton candy in Jin and Hwoarang's mouth. Jin was seriously shocked and transformed into a devil, shooting lasers emanating from his eyes aimlessly around the park. Hwoarang lay on the ground choking from the cotton candy stuffed in his mouth.
"Hahaha missed me, whoo-- that was close, and...Hiya, missed me again," Xiaoyu said as she dodged Jin's deadly laser beams.
Julia was riding on Panda who was chasing Feng, running away terrified of Panda.
Jin calmed down and transformed back to human panting.
"What's wrong with Mr. Red-head now?" said Xiaoyu teasingly as she noticed Hwoarang turning purple.
"Cough, cough," Hwoarang coughed as he spat the cotton candy Xiaoyu stuffed in his mouth.
"Oh gosh," Xiaoyu said as she knelt down beside Hwoarang. "Are you alright?" Xiaoyu patted him hard on the back. "I must call an ambulance," she continued.
"ehem, cough, ehem, don't call an ambulance please," pleaded Hwoarang, imagining the doctor injecting him with a large syringe. Xiaoyu helped him stand up. "Ok."
"Thanks for stuffing my mouth with cotton candies" Hwoarang said irritably looking away.
"Oh no, are you mad at me?" Xiaoyu asked in the verge of tears. Hwoarang looked at Xiaoyu and sighed.
"No I am not," Hwoarang replied, feeling sorry for Xiaoyu.
"Ok then cool" Xiaoyu said happily then she frowned again. "Promise you're not mad at me?" squeaked Xiaoyu looking at Hwoarang.
"Of course not you silly girl," said Hwoarang, ruffling Xiaoyu's hair.
"Uhh guys...I've heard there's a new restaurant called Cafe Salmonella, maybe we could try it out...uhhh, tomorrow at dinner, is that ok?" Julia asked her companions.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh," Jin said nodding like a fool.
"Yepsidoodles," exclaimed Xiaoyu, excitedly bouncing up and down and accidentally stepping on Hwoarangs foot.
"Noooooo!" screamed Hwoarang rubbing his foot. Julia looked at him surprised. "You don't like to come?" she asked. Jin smiled happily.
"No, of course I want to come, hehehe" Hwoarang replied. Jin's smile vanished.
"Yippee then!" shouted Julia. "Ok bye guys, come Jin let's go." Then Julia grabbed Jin's arms and dragged him away with her.
Xiaoyu stared at Hwoarang.
"What?" said Hwoarang turning his back at Xiaoyu, embarassed.
"I'm hungry," Xiaoyu answered rubbing her stomach.
"So what?" said Hwoarang irritably, turning to face Xiaoyu again.
"Iam going home bye bye," Xiaoyu said.
"Ok, bye, flee" Hwoarang said turning his back again and looking at a far distance.
"hmmm, ok byie," then Xiaoyu walked away with Panda.
Hwoarang turned around to look at Xiaoyu again. "Why did she have to go? Iam bored," he said to himself and kicked a nearby stone. He forgot to balance and fell over the lake.
"HEEEELLLLPPP! Someboby help me!" screamed Hwoarang waving his arms up high above the water.
"Did you hear that Panda?" Xiaoyu asked looking back at the lake.
"Raar Growl" said Panda pointing her paw towards Hwoarang who was apparently drowning.
"Oh" then she quickly sprinted towards the shore of the lake. "Here grab this stick," Xiaoyu said as she picked up a stick nearby. Hwoarang graabed hold of the stick and in no time was on land again. Then he lay down on the ground dripping wet.
"Xiaoyu if I have to die right here right now..." Hwoarang said dramatically. "I just want you to know--"
Xiaoyu sighed then kneeled beside Hwoarang. "Don't be silly, you won't die." Then Hwoarang played dead.
"Ahahahahaha," Xiaoyu laughed and kicked Hwoarang's side. Hwoarang rolled dramatically beside the bench nearby the shore, trying to ease the pain.
A granny was passing by the bench when she saw Hwoarang. "Ahhhh, a dead body!" yelled the granny then she prodded Hwoarang's head with her walking stick.
"Ouch!" howled Hwoarang then he quickly stood up ready to kick. Xiaoyu immediately dragged him away.
"Are you off you're rocker? You weren't even a good actor. This is so typical." Xiaoyu told Hwoarang.
"Hmmm, hahaha at least I fooled that old lady... You came to save me, yay!" Hwoarang said happily.
Xiaoyu shook her head. "The water wasn't even deep"
"Whatever, i'll ride you home again," offered Hwoarang.
"uh, no thanks, you seem to get in a lot of trouble, i'm scared..." then she kicked Hwoarang hard on the leg. "hehehehe", then she ran away fast.
"Owww, why you," he chased after her...
