A little later, after our dads left, Meeko and Flit joined Pocahontas at the river's edge. Meeko picked up Pocahontas's necklace and sniffed it.

"He wants me to be steady," She said, taking her necklace back. "Like the river."

We all looked into the water, and a couple of otters unexpectedly popped up, startling Meeko, Flit, and a few members of the team. Pocahontas, Hermione, and I weren't startled at all. Hermione and I had already sort of smelled them coming anyway.

"But it's not steady at all." Pocahontas said, sounding amused at our friends' reaction to the otters.

Pocahontas got into her canoe, Hermione and I swam into the river, and our friends got into their canoes. Our friends' canoes had just been finished this morning. There was even a special magical one that could support Jenny and Stitch's weight.

POCAHONTAS & I:
What I love most about the river is:
You can't step into the same river twice
The water's always changing, always flowing
But people, I guess, can't live like that
We all must pay a price
To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing
What's around the riverbend
Waiting just around the riverbend

I look once more
Just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore
Where the gulls fly free
Don't know what for
What I dream the day might send
Just around the riverbend

For me
Coming for me

Actually, we literally did go around a riverbend. We went into an area full of seagulls too.

POCAHONTAS & I:
I feel it there beyond those dreams
Or right behind these waterfalls
Can I ignore that sound of distant drumming
For a handsome sturdy husband
Who builds handsome sturdy walls
And never dreams that something might be coming?
Just around the riverbend
Just around the riverbend

As we went behind the waterfall, a couple groups of fish fell on top of Meeko's and Hermione's heads. Meeko was annoyed for a bit, then he smiled, amused. Hermione, however, was really annoyed, especially when I giggled at the sight of a fish flopping on her head. I stopped giggling when that fish fell into my mouth. I spat it out in disgust – I hate the taste of fish – and Hermione laughed. I grinned, getting an idea, and pounced on her. The two of us went underwater, and when we came back up we started a splash fight. But Hermione stopped when she saw that we were heading for a waterfall! Instead of being scared however I winked at everyone.

POCAHONTAS &I:
I look once more
Just around the riverbend
Beyond the shore
Somewhere past the sea
Don't know what for...
Why do all my dreams extend
Just around the riverbend?
Just around the riverbend...

Pocahontas, Hermione, and I went down the waterfall! When everyone else went down the waterfall they realized that it was more of a ride than anything else, and we all had fun riding the raging current. Hermione and I soon started diving like dolphins, but we didn't watch where we were going. Our friends did, and they tried to shout a warning to us but, too late, we landed in Pocahontas's canoe. Dazed, Hermione and I shook our heads clear and wondered why Pocahontas stopped the canoe.

POCAHONTAS:
Should I choose the smoothest course
Steady as the beating drum?
Should I marry Kocoum?
Is all my dreaming at an end?
Or do you still wait for me, Dream Giver
Just around the riverbend?

Well, now we knew, and this was too serious even for Hermione. While Pocahontas was still singing, Hermione whispered something to me. I grinned, winked at our friends, and joined Hermione in splashing Pocahontas! Pocahontas stopped singing for a few seconds to splash us back and we almost started a splash fight, but then Pocahontas resumed singing.

"Darn it." Hermione muttered.

I grinned and winked at her, and then I then silently blabbed along with Pocahontas – starting from the line 'Or do you' – causing everyone to try to hold his or her laughter in. Pocahontas caught me anyway and I grinned sheepishly. Pocahontas smiled back, actually amused, and everyone else cracked up. We reached a fork in the river at this point, and everyone noticed that Pocahontas took the crooked path instead of the straight one. They followed us, and saw that this path led to a willow tree.

"I'm guessing we're going to see Grandmother Willow." Lilo said.

I nodded, smiling, and dove into the water. Pocahontas and I went to Grandmother Willow's a few weeks ago and mentioned her to the others when we came back...without going into full detail. See, this was before the other's canoes were ready, so they had to stay behind. Hermione stayed behind too in order to protect them, which doesn't need any explaining considering what happened to Rudy and Penny S at the end of the last Adventure.

We went through the branches, which made a kind of curtain, and docked at a large root. I left the water and climbed the root to a floor made from a large stump.

"I see the 'Willow' but where's the 'Grandmother'?" Jenny joked.

"Right in front of you silly." I replied.

"Er...I was joking."

"I know, I wasn't."

Hermione and the others looked pretty confused at that. Pocahontas and Meeko climbed the root and joined me at the stump.

"Is that my Pocahontas? And Miranda too?" A voice said from nowhere.

Hermione and the rest of the team were really confused – and pretty startled – now.

"Grandmother Willow," Pocahontas said. "I need to talk to you."

Suddenly a smooth oval patch in the trunk turned into a face! Hermione and the rest of the team's mouths dropped in shock and they ended up speechless, even Kaya was shocked. At least now they know why she's called Grandmother 'Willow'.

"Good morning child," Grandmother Willow said. "I was hoping you and Miranda would visit today. I see you finally brought your friends with you, welcome."

Hermione and the others were still too shocked to say anything. Since Grandmother Willow understood why they didn't respond she let it drop.

"Ah, your mother's necklace." Grandmother Willow added to Pocahontas.

"That's what I wanted to talk to you about," Pocahontas said. "My father wants me to marry Kocoum."

"Kocoum?" Grandmother Willow repeated. "But he's so serious."

Hermione and the others got over their shock, mostly because Grandmother Willow sounded nice but also to grin at Grandmother Willow's teasing 'serious' face.

"I know," Pocahontas sighed. "My father thinks it's the right path for me, but lately I've been having this dream and I think it's..."

"Ooh a dream, let's hear all about it." Grandmother Willow interrupted enthusiastically.

Meeko, and all of the other animals living near Grandmother Willow, started chattering excitedly.

"Quiet!" Grandmother Willow said.

A squirrel climbed down her face as the animals continued chattering. Grandmother Willow blew the squirrel off and started to get really annoyed.

"QUIET!" She snapped.

That shut them up, except for a croak from a frog. Grandmother Willow gave the frog a stern look, and the frog gulped and ducked under the lily pad he was on.

"Now child, you were saying?" Grandmother Willow said.

"Well, I'm running through the woods," Pocahontas said. "And there, right in front of me, is an arrow. I look at it, and it starts to spin."

"A spinning arrow?" Grandmother Willow repeated. "How unusual."

"Yes, it spins faster and faster and faster until suddenly...it stops."

Meeko and a few other animals spun their heads in reflex to when Pocahontas kept saying 'faster,' and when she stopped, they stopped. That certainly made Meeko dizzy.

"Hm, well, it seems to me that this spinning arrow is pointing you down your path." Grandmother Willow said.

"But Grandmother Willow," Pocahontas said. "What is my path? How am I ever going to find it?"

"Your mother asked me the very same question."

"She did? What did you tell her?" Pocahontas asked.

"I told her to listen, all around you are spirits child, they live in the earth, the water, and the sky. If you listen, they will guide you."

Suddenly, we all heard voices from nowhere.

"I hear the wind." Pocahontas said, standing up.

I stood up and started listening too, ready to hear whatever message the wind had.

"Yes," Grandmother Willow said. "What is it telling you?"

"I don't understand."

GRANDMOTHER WILLOW:
Que-que nat-o-rath
You will understand

Listen with your heart
You will understand

Let it break upon you
Like a wave upon the sand

What did 'break upon us' was the strange multi-colored leaf wind: it came and swirled around us, causing Flit to twirl around and around. Hermione and the others were a little freaked since it wasn't fall or anything. They just couldn't figure out where the colorful leaves were coming from.

"It's saying something's coming," Pocahontas and I said.

Hermione and the team's mouths dropped open again: I could understand the wind?

"Strange clouds?" Pocahontas added, confused.

"Listen with your heart, you will understand." Grandmother Willow sang.

"You will understand..." The wind sang.

Pocahontas and I climbed Grandmother Willow. Meeko and Flit joined us.

"I thought wolves aren't able to climb trees." Hermione said teasingly.

"Yeah, well they're not able to fly either." I retorted with the same tone that she used.

Hermione facepalmed.

"Of course, we're exceptional wolves..." She muttered.

"She got you on that one." Grim grinned.

"Clever little..." Then she stopped. "Kaya, you didn't understand the wind did you?"

"Actually I did," Kaya said. "Which is amazing because I was never able to do it that well back home..."

"Didn't you understand the wind?" Stitch asked Hermione.

"No, actually I didn't." Hermione said.

"But if you're both playing Native American dogs and she's the only one who can understand..." Scrappy said.

"I know, its weird." Hermione said.

"Raybe rhere's romething rabout rer rhe's rot relling rus." Scooby finished knowingly.

"I have a feeling there is." Hermione agreed.

Later I explained that it was just a side effect from the Superwolf power of our collars, especially since the Stone Gods sometimes liked to talk to me through the wind. As for why I was the only one who got this side effect, well, the explanation will come later on.

Pocahontas, Meeko, Flit, and I popped our heads over the leaves, and saw the strange clouds. Spooked, Meeko and Flit dove back into the branches.

"What do you see?" Grandmother Willow called up to us.

"Clouds." Pocahontas replied. "Strange clouds."

I smiled and ran back down to Hermione and the rest of the team: the clouds weren't clouds at all, they were sails! When I told them, we all knew that Harry, Ron W, and the rest of the team had arrived. Camera flew back to the ship.
