Meanwhile, Fu-Fu was missing Sagwa dreadfully. However he couldn't go back. By the end of the second week he and his colony hadn't even reached their new cave yet. It wasn't until about three days later that they finally reached it. Even then Fu-Fu couldn't leave, he had to help the colony spruce up the cave.
Finally, after all the chores were done, Fu-Fu sat outside thinking about Sagwa. Considering how long it took to arrive he knew they wouldn't be able to see each other often and the thought of it hurt him like a dagger. He ended up spending every night for another week like that.
"Geez Fu-Fu, you should really stop sitting your butt off every night and fly with us." Fi-Fu shook his head.
"I can't, I miss Sagwa too much." Fu-Fu shook his head.
"That furball? Forget about her Fu-Fu you're a bat. And bats stay with their colony." Fum-Fu frowned.
Fu-Fu couldn't believe his ears. So that was why the colony moved!
"Wait a minute! Do you mean to tell me that we moved all the way out here just because you disapproved of my being friends with cats?" Fu-Fu snapped, getting up in a huff.
"Well you had stopped acting like a bat." Fo-Fu was taken aback by Fu-Fu's anger. "You even started sleeping at night and stopped eating bugs as often."
"You..." Fu-Fu was furious, but he wasn't used to being angry so he didn't know what to do next; then he thought of a proper insult. "You rats with wings!" He snapped.
Fi-Fu and the others gasped, dropping their mouths open. Fu-Fu flew deep into the cave, refusing to speak to anyone. Fi-Fu and the others decided to go ahead and leave on their nightly bug-hunt.
Not all the bats left. Fu-Fu's bat friends, who he called Brave Fu-Fu Fighters, and his mentor Wu-Fu stayed behind. They heard the whole thing and were appalled by the other bats' prejudism. They flew to Fu-Fu, who had his back turned towards them.
"We heard everything Fu-Fu." Wu-Fu said. "And we've decided that you don't have to stay in the colony if you don't want to."
Fu-Fu turned around, startled.
"Really?" He asked. "Are you sure it's the right thing?"
"I don't know, all I can say is: listen to your heart." Wu-Fu smiled.
Fu-Fu thought for a minute, and smiled too.
"In that case, I'm going back to Sagwa." He decided.
And the next morning, when everyone was asleep, he left for the palace.
He flew towards the palace during the day and even into most of the night. Finally, he wore himself out to the point where he had to hide in a small cave to sleep. When he woke up it was late morning of the next day so he decided to get moving. Oh, and don't worry about him going hungry, he snacked on bugs whenever he took flight.
As for the other bats, they were shocked to find that Fu-Fu had gone (except for the ones who supported Fu-Fu, since they already knew). They wondered whether they should try to bring Fu-Fu back or not, but the tougher bats decided to give up. If Fu-Fu left the colony, then he wasn't a member of the colony anymore. As for Wu-Fu and the Brave Fu-Fu Fighters, they realized that they missed Fu-Fu, and so a couple days later decided to fly towards the palace too. They planned to move back into their old cave.
