Chapter 6: Groundbark
After meeting up with Gordon, Fee and Foo went back to their Old Tree with Harvey, which was actually on top of Harvey's House. Fee looks around, and felt nostalgic, even though it's been 5 Months since they left Their Tree. Fee suddenly says to Foo, "Man, It's been a while since we lived here. Seems bigger, then I remember. More Open, you know?" Fee's Brother wasn't paying attention, as he was distracted by seeing Harvey's old Chicken plush toy he gave him Last Year, all wrapped in cellophane. "I forgot about Icky Chicky," Said Foo. "Probably should've brought him with us." Just then, Harvey climbed up to Fee and Foo's Tree, too chat with them. "So," Harvey began too ask, "How was your New Home?" Fee replied, "Well, Foo and I live in a Hut with our Parents, we got our own Rooms, Honestly kinda liked it better here." The Blue Bird sits down, and starts asking The Twins why They Prefer Little Bark. Fee explains, "Well, there aren't really any Trees near our Home, We don't have Much Friends there, and Foo and I keep finding Snakes under our Beds." Foo Points out, "I wrestled with a Snake, and it Bit me on The Arm..." Fee finishes The Sentence for Foo, "And our Dad had to suck The Poison out." Foo shows Harvey The Snake Bite on his Right Arm, It reminds him of a Vampire Bite, but The Bite looks like it's getting better. Harvey breathes in through his Teeth, and says, "Ow, That's gotta Hurt, Looks better Now though. How long has it been, since you got bitten?" Foo tries to remember, but doesn't. Fee tells Harvey, "About 2 Weeks Ago. So, how have things gone for you, since we left?" Harvey sighs, then tells The Twins, "It's been alright, but Admittingly, After you 2 left, I did feel bummed out. You lived here for 5 Years, it was hard too see you both leave. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you were both Reunited with your Parents, Things just weren't The Same without you 2 here." Fee walks over to pat Harvey on the back, "Don't worry dude," Said Fee. "We are here now. Foo and I are only here for a Week, so we should make This Week count. Right Foo?" Fee looks over to her Brother, and catches him eating Bugs. "Oh Sorry, I wasn't listening." Said Foo.
Later at Night, Harvey and his Friends started heading out to The Door in The Ground, expecting Gordon to be there, and help them open it. Fee speed walks to Harvey, and asks, "So, Why are we bringing Veruca Salt again?" Harvey looked confused, he asked Fee "Huh?" Fee explains, "You know, Princess." Harvey looks behind to see Princess texting while walking (Which is Dangerous if you're Not Careful.) Princess trips on a Wooden Stick in the ground, and complains, "Eh, Stupid Stick!" She kicks The Stick away, and proceeds too Text while walking. Harvey looks back at Fee, and Explains, "Because she doesn't like feeling left out, Remember when I did That Afternoon Show? She was so upset, that she didn't invite me to her 11th Birthday Party." Fee remembers Harvey does Jimmy Fallon type shows in His Living Room, with The Rest of Harvey's Friends. Fee rolls her Eyes, then says with Disappointment, "Oh, right."
3 Minutes later, Harvey and his friends made it to The Door on The Ground. Piri Piri sees Gordon next to it, and Runs to Hug him. Gordon lets out a Small Chuckle, and says, "It's good to see you too Piri." "I'm so glad you decided too help us." said Piri. Rooter tells everyone, "Okay, if it turns out too be something Dangerous, I got my Machine Guns ready to go." Gordon asks The Parakeet, "Are you sure you want me too open That Door?" Piri Piri explains, "If it's something Bad, I'm sure you and Rooter can Deal with it." Gordon smiles at The Parakeet, and says, "Okay." Just then, Gordon's Tree Arms sprouted out of The Ground again, and put The Branches in between The Cracks. Gordon tries his Hardest too pull The Door open, and The Door Finally Opens wide, revealing a Giant Hole. Everyone looks Down in The Hole, Nothing but Darkness, but Everyone was Amazed, even Princess. Dade points out, "Ugh, I can't see anything. How deep is This Hole?" Rooter walks in Dade's Way, Lights up a Flare, and drops it down The Hole. The Flare fell way down, until it came to a Stop. It turns out too be a Very Deep Hole, about 150 Feet I'd say. (I'm Not Very Good at Measurements, but it's pretty deep.) Dade exclaims, "That's it!? Just a Dark Hole with Nothing in it? Why would there be a Door to Nothing? Is this some kind of Joke?" Rooter sighs, "Well, that was Disappointing." Princess starts too yell, "I CAME ALL THE WAY HERE, FOR NOTHING!?" Harvey was scratching his head, wondering why There's a Door that leads to Nothing. Most of The Group start too leave in Frustration, with how disappointed This Whole thing was. Piri Piri looks down, and sees something Moving in The Hole. Piri gasped, then calls everyone back, "Guys, something just Moved down there." Whatever Piri saw grabbed The Flare Rooter dropped, Ran, and disappeared, Leaving The Hole Dark once more. Luckily, Everyone saw what Piri was talking about. What was That? No one really knows. Harvey asks Piri, "Do you think someone got trapped down there?" The Parakeet didn't know what too think, Maybe someone got trapped. Piri suggests to The Group, "If someone's down there, we got too help him or her." Claire asks Piri, "But how are we going too help Him or her? I don't think we can even use a Latter, Looks too far." Gordon suddenly says to Everyone, "Don't worry, I have a Solution." Just then, a Giant Leaf sprouted out The side of The Hole." Gordon explains to The Group, "This Leaf can gently take you down, until you reach The End." Harvey with Amazement in his Voice says to Gordon, "Oh, like an Elevator." Gordon started too look Confused, then asks Harvey, "What's an Elevator?" Before Harvey can Explain, Princess tells Gordon, "You need to Definitely go to The Mall, it has Lots of Elevators." Gordon explains, "I can't get inside a Building." Rooter looks down again, then looks over to Piri Piri, and Nervously asks, "Hey Piri, it sure looks Dark down There, would you like me too hold your Hand?" Piri tells Rooter, "Thanks, but I'm Not afraid of The Dark, I'm Fine on my own." Piri then looks at Harvey, who looks nervous entering That Hole, and Piri nervously asks Harvey, "Harvey, would you like me too hold your hand too Protect you?" Harvey nervously blushes, smiles, then says to The Budgie, "Yeah, I think I'd like that." Both Harvey and Piri Piri start too hold hands, and Rooter is Shocked too see What he offered Piri, offer Harvey Practically The Same thing. The First thought in Rooter's Mind, was "What The Hell!?" Fee walks to Rooter, then says to him, "I'll hold your hand, if you want." Rooter turns down Fee, telling her, "I'm Not afraid of The Dark either, but Thanks for The Offer Fee." Claire asks Foo to hold her Hand for Protection, and The Orange Imp agrees, which made Claire gasp in Love Excitement. Harvey walks over to The Leaf, but before he got on, he trips on a Piece of Tall Grass, which causes a Vitamin Gummy too Fall out Harvey's Pocket. Harvey gets up, and walks to The Leaf, unaware A Piece of his Vitamin Gummies that fell out his Pocket. Everyone got on The Leaf, except Kathy. "Aren't you coming Kathy?" Asked Kratz, "I think I'm just going too stay up here for Now, I'll catch up with you later. Just be careful, okay?" Said Kathy. Kratz gives Kathy a Kiss, then says, "I'll try, I love you." Kathy blushes, then says "I love you too." To Kratz. After that, Kathy leaves The Group, too go Back home, maybe do a Live Stream or something. Gordon asks The Group, "You guys ready?" Piri Piri tells Gordon, "We sure are." Gordon starts explaining to The Group, "I got to go Back to My Garden after I get you guys down there, I'll come back in about 10 Minutes and get you back up, okay?" Everybody nodded Yes to Gordon, and The Giant Flower gently starts lowering Harvey and His Friends down The Hole.
About 30 Seconds later, Harvey and His Friends reached The Bottom of The Hole. After they all stepped off The Leaf, Everyone starts too Call out for This Thing they came down too rescue. No Response, but Harvey notices a Tunnel, with some Light hitting The Walls. "Hey Guys," Said Harvey. "I found a Tunnel, come on." Everyone started too follow Harvey down The Tunnel, until they all come to a Stop. Everyone looked at where The Light was coming from, and Gasped in amazement, too find An Underground City. Complete with Buildings, and A Whole lot of Wolves. Harvey asks with Wonder in his Tone, "What is This Place?" Piri Piri looked Very Excited, then says with excitement, "I don't know, but This Place looks Amazing!" In reality, It's Not That Amazing, there's No Sky or Trees in sight. So The Kids went down a Steep hill leading out of The Tunnel, and into This Underground City. They stuck together, to start exploring around The City.
Good Lord that was long, Not just The Chapter, but How Long it's been since I posted a Chapter. Sorry The Hiatus wasn't short like I hoped, but a New Chapter is Finally written. However, it might be a while before I post Chapter 7.
Oh, and here's an Update on The Cover. I've been working on it since December 2017, and I tested out what's gonna be on The Cover. There are still some things too draw for it, and then it will be Finished. I will also make a Wallpaper Version of The Cover, Free to Download for All Harvey Beaks Fans. Maybe I'll make One for Smartphone Users also, we will see.
Yeah, This chapter wasn't really an Improvement over The Other Chapters, and it almost went Differently, but I couldn't make it work, and I stuck to My Original Plan. I hope This Next Chapter will be better.
