"So, what's wrong with this 'Shuggazoom' place?" Amy questioned as the ship headed towards its destination.
"It's my hometown. It's where Chiro lived and died." Angelina explained. "I don't want to have to deal with his team. Maybe Chiro's girlfriend, Jinmay, will distract them."
They arrived on Shuggazoom.
"This is Shuggazoom?" Amy wrinkled her nose. "How could your brother have lived here? It's so barren and lifeless."
"We're outside the city, in the Zone of Wasted Years." Angelina told her. "This will probably be where we'll find what we're looking for."
"No need to worry about that." The two girls spun around to see Jinmay touching ground behind them. "I flew here as fast as I could. The monkeys are on their way. Here's the Skibull Case. I found it while you were gone. Now hurry! Before the monkeys get here!"
"Thank you, Jinmay!" Angelina called, having already grabbed the case and scurried over to her spaceship. "You won't regret it! I promise!"
The monkeys arrived seconds after they were out of the atmosphere.
"Jinmay! What are you doing here?" Nova hissed.
"Oh, nothing." Jinmay answered, examining her nails.
"Jinmay, I hope you understand that Chiro would not have approved of the way you've been treating the team." Antauri exclaimed sadly.
Jinmay looked up. "I… I…"
"We used to think of you as one of us, Jinmay." Sprx put in. "Since Chiro died, you've become more and more distant."
A tear slid down Jinmay's cheek. "I'm sorry."
"I, for one, accept your apology, Jinmay." Antauri said. "Now that Chiro's gone, we need to learn to be more accepting of each other. We know you miss him, we all do, but we can get through this easier if we come together as a team."
Jinmay nodded, smiling slightly. Chiro would be with them again soon. She knew it.
