A/N: This chapter is the longest of all (if you're here for spoilers, get out of here as soon as possible).
Chapter 65: A Falsehood
Diddy and Dixie, after having inserted that cassette, fast forwarded the video recording to a few minutes before the quartet met the two of them for the first time. In that scene, the quartet was finishing tying several ropes until they formed a net, which they were tying to the branches of nearby trees and to some stakes in the ground.
«Mandrew: (And are you sure that pair will be here today?), he asked as he finished tying a rope to a stake.
«Rocky: (They have been passing through this area for two days, we just have to shout as loud as we can so they can locate us. And don't worry, these ropes are sturdy).
«Jemky: (Well, you know, we'll tell them to untie this rope here, so we'll go down slowly so as not to crash or destroy these mechanical monkeys), he added as he tied another rope on the opposite side. (By the way, if we're going to talk to those two, let's make up new names for us this time).
«Mandrew: (And what name am I going to make up?)
«Jemky: (And I don't know, make up a girl's name and that's it… Anyway, and don't forget to also act like lost and abandoned children).
«Melenky: (Here they come! Let's get into the net now!)
«Jemky: (So fast?! Ugh, come on, come on!)
The four of them hurried to get inside the net. Two of them took a pair of ropes that were tied to the stakes in the ground and were pulling them little by little, at the same time they got up in the net until they were suspended in the air.
«Rocky: (They're already nearby! Well, on the count of three, start yelling, and beware you laugh when we talk to them or you say something confidential about this).
"Urgh, if I had known, I would have just left them trapped in that net!" Dixie grumbled as she watched the video recording.
Diddy and Dixie, within the video recording, were visualized running as if they were competing in a race. It was then that the quartet began to scream 'asking for help' and struggle with their limbs to 'try to get out', to which the kong couple began to hear them, look for them and then arrived to their 'rescue'.
«Jemky: (They're there, they're there! They already saw us, CALL THEM!)
Melenky (MELVYN): (Look, some monkeys! This way! Help us, please!), he exclaimed through 'Melvyn', pretending to have just seen Diddy and Dixie.
(Don't worry, we'll help you!) Dixie exclaimed in the recording, trying to calm them down.
(How do we get them all out?!) Diddy asked.
Rocky (RICKY): (Untie that rope from there!), he indicated to them, pointing to the stakes in the ground. (The one on the right!)
«Jemky: (W-what?! HEY, NO, ROCKY, IT'S THE OTHER ONE, THE LEFT!)
Rocky (RICKY): (NO, NO, IT WAS THE LEFT- AAAAHHHH!)
Diddy and Dixie had already untied the rope, causing the net to fall hard to the ground along with the children inside. In the video recording, a couple of cracks could be heard.
«Jemky: (Urgh, I told you that wasn't the rope! We're already crashed!)
(Oh, no! We're sorry, are you okay?), said Dixie with concern as she took each of their hands to help them out.
Rocky (RICKY): (Don't worry… We're fine), he replied pretending to be agitated after having completely got out.
«Jemky: (Now! Apply the 'kidnapper ape story'!)
Jemky (JENNY): (We can't stay here! Let's go away!), 'she' exclaimed before running off with the group, giving Diddy and Dixie little pushes to make them run too.
(What's going on?!) Diddy asked them as he ran with them.
Melenky (MELVYN): (There's a kidnapper gorilla on the loose around here! He had caught us in that net!)
The quartet was running in a random direction while Diddy and Dixie followed them. It was at that moment where 'Mandy' fell to the ground and 'got hurt' her leg.
«Mandrew: (Oh, no! Oh, no, darn it! This girl broke her leg! What do we do?)
«Jemky: (I told you so clearly that it was the LEFT rope that they had to untie!)
(Oh, no! Did you get hurt?), Diddy asked 'Mandy' worriedly, helping her to her feet.
Mandrew (MANDY): (No, don't worry, I'm fine), 'she' replied, finishing getting up and then pretending to feel pain. (Ugh! My leg!)
Jemky (JENNY): (Oh, no! You hurt your leg, Mandy!), she exclaimed, going to 'help' her.
«Mandrew: (Hey, I wasn't going to call myself that!)
(Oh, no, she must have gotten hurt with the fall), Dixie said worriedly. (We are truly sorry!)
Mandrew (MANDY): (No, don't worry, I'm used to it). she replied, rubbing her leg and pretending to walk with difficulty. (By the way, thank you, for saving us! That very ugly and evil ape wanted to kidnap us and locked us in that net).
Melenky (MELVYN): (Yes, be careful when walking in that area. That ape wanted to kill us!), he added, pretending a frightened expression.
(¡Really?!), Dixie asked, looking shocked. (But what kind of ape was that?)
Jemky (JENNY): (We don't know, he's crazy), she replied to Diddy and Dixie before smiling at them. (But… I think that thanks to you we are safe).
Rocky (RICKY): (Yes, we didn't know how to get out of that net), he added in the same way. (Seriously, thanks to you guys who showed up just in time).
(Oh, it's nothing), Dixie replied, smiling at them. (How good that you have come out well).
(It's nothing), Diddy added in the same tone. (And why did that ape kidnap you?)
Mandrew (MANDY): (We didn't do anything to him, I think he's a psychopath... Oh, and by the way, what are your names?)
(My name is Diddy).
(And I'm Dixie. Who are you?)
«Jemky: (Now, the names!)
Mandrew (MANDY): (I'm Mandy. Nice to meet you, Diddy and Dixie).
Rocky (RICKY): (My name is Ricky).
Jemky (JENNY): (I'm Jenny, nice to meet you).
Melenky (MELVYN): (And I'm… Uhh… What was my name?)
«Rocky: (Melenky!)
«Jemky: (Don't mess it up!)
Mandrew (MANDY): (Ahh, his name is Melvyn. It's that he's a bit clueless), she replied with a little laugh.
Melenky (MELVYN): (Clueless? What's wrong with you?!)
Jemky (JENNY): (Oh, please, let's not start fighting," she added, calming them down before heading back to Diddy and Dixie. (Oh, excuse me, monkeys. And where are you from? Do you live around here?)
(Well, not exactly. We are only here on this island; refugees, so to speak), Dixie replied.
(We live on another island far from here), Diddy added. (Do you live on this island?)
Rocky (RICKY): (No… Or well, yes, but it's that…)
«Rocky: (How do we tell them?!)
Mandrew (MANDY): (We don't have a home... Well, we spend every day looking for where to sleep, we have no fixed place to live).
(Really? And… don't you live with your families or anyone?), Diddy asked them in confusion.
Jemky (JENNY): (We don't have any family, it's just the four of us).
(What? So, you hang around alone?), Dixie asked them, astonished.
Jemky (JENNY): (Yes, we have always been like this).
Rocky (RICKY): (By the way, do you know any place for us to stay? It doesn't matter if it's temporary; we were looking for a space for ourselves these days).
"Urgh, those worm-heads took us for a fool!" Dixie exclaimed, very furious, slamming her hands on the sideboard while she watched the scene.
"So, we were literally talking to them all the time!" Diddy added in the same way.
»»»
They fast forwarded the scene a little further, specifically when they were helping them set up the house.
Rocky (RICKY): (You two are great!), he told Diddy and Dixie. (You helped us a lot. Thank you, monkeys).
(It's nothing), Diddy told them kindly, (Don't you need something? Maybe food).
Melenky (MELVYN): (Oh, no, don't worry. We can take care of that. You have already done a lot for us. Thank you!)
(Oh, okay), Dixie replied, smiling at them. (It was a pleasure to have helped you).
Jemky (JENNY): (Hey, you guys look fun. Do you want to be our new friends?), she proposed smiling at them.
(Oh… Sure, why not?), Dixie replied in the same tone.
(Wow, we haven't had friends like us here), Diddy added. (Okay, we can be).
»»»
Jemky (JENNY): (And where are you living for the moment?), she asked them later.
(It's kind of funny), Dixie answered. (But coincidentally we found on this island a teacher from the school where we went. He let us stay in his house until we could return).
(Mr. Pinky?!), the four of them exclaimed, truly surprised.
(Yes, the same. Uhh… do you know him?), Diddy asked, confused.
«Rocky: (Oh, we shouldn't have said that, darn it! Say something!)
Jemky (JENNY): (Of course. He was also our teacher when we went to school).
(Really?! What a coincidence), Dixie exclaimed, looking surprised along with Diddy. (Do you go to school too?)
«Rocky: (Not like that!... Ugh, just say yes).
Mandrew (MANDY): (Yes, for a year we went. But school bored us and so we withdrew).
Rocky (RICKY): (By the way, did you go to school on your island? How was your classroom?)
(Bah! It was bad), Dixie replied. (Almost all of our classmates were conceited, enlarged or unfriendly).
(And not to mention a group of four evil fools who always liked to bother us), Diddy added. (They were vandals).
Jemky/Mandrew (JENNY/MANDY): (But were they cutes?) they asked between small laughs.
(Oh, of course not), Dixie replied. (One was a mocking mandrill with dusty, disheveled hairs. Another was a langur with red legs and gossip).
(Another was a monkey with a fluffy face and coffee hairs), Diddy continued. (Oh, and the most hateful was an orangutan with burnt-annatto hair. And no, we don't say it because they are, but because they were annoying and malevolent cretins who made fun of us).
«Jemky: (But look at this pair of stupid monkeys!), he exclaimed furiously along with the other three kids.
«Mandrew: (And what do they think?! They are a couple of dwarfs and useless idiots).
(Can you believe that those stupid kids carried guns?), added Dixie. (They were thugs!)
Rocky (RICKY): (Guns?!), he asked, pretending to be shocked. (And… where did those kids get some of them?)
«Jemky: (Ahh, thanks for reminding us!), said in a sarcastic tone. (Stupid monkey that threw them into the sea!)
»»»
Mandrew (MANDY): (Do you have to leave now?), she asked them along with the others, pretending sad expressions.
(Yes, but we can come tomorrow if you want), Dixie suggested, smiling at them. (What do you say?)
Rocky (RICKY): (Of course. You just call us).
(Well, we'll see what time we can come), Dixie added. (It's that right now... we had a pending date).
Jemky (JENNY): (Are you two dating?), she asked them, seeming curious.
(Well… yes), Diddy replied, emitting small laughs along with Dixie. (Yes, we are).
(Really?!), the four exclaimed, pretending not to know.
Rocky (RICKY): (Wow, I see you're lucky, huh?)
Mandrew (MANDY): (Oh, how beautiful!), she exclaimed, simulating a tone of sweetness. (And since when have you been dating?)
(Not long ago), Diddy replied, before leaving along with Dixie. (Well, we'll see you tomorrow. See you later).
The four of them finished 'kindly' saying goodbye to Diddy and Dixie until they both left and were out of sight later. Then, the four of them remained silent for a while as if analyzing everything that had been spoken with the two of them.
«Jemky: (Blasted, I hate them, so it's true!), he grumbled, expressing all the fury he had. (They really are dating! Ahhh, I hope they only last a couple of months and they finish and die! I HATE THEM!)
«Mandrew: (But how did they pair up?! Weren't they fighting until the last day of school?)
«Jemky: (When I proposed that deal to Dixie, it even was because I knew that causing jealous wasn't going to work on that monkey! It was precisely so that those two stupids would fight and never love each other, BUT THEY ENDED UP BEING TOGETHER!)
«Rocky: (Well, if we want to know more, we'll have to establish a better friendship with that pair. By the way... how come they helped a herd of zoo animals escape? It sounds like a movie for that pair of dwarfs).
«Melenky: (I swear that I almost burst out laughing when they told it, I didn't expect that all of that would be the reason why they're here. And how did that monkey get kidnapped by some circus trainers?... And Mr. Pinky lives here too?! It's that true? How is it possible?)
«Mandrew: (Ahhh! I need to know the whole gossip, I'm curious. They'll be back here tomorrow, right?)
«Rocky: (Let's hope so. And we'll also have to come to this house to pretend that we're staying here... Hey, haven't you stopped to think that the fake names we make up for us sound similar to ours?)
«Jemky: (Whatever! We already told them those silly kid names, that's how they're going to call us. They won't know it's us, anyways; our island is also thousands of kilometers from here).
«Mandrew: (Well, why don't we now go fix the leg of this girl I'm using? I think it got unscrewed… and I hope those two monkeys didn't notice).
"Let's play some scenes where we spent time with them!" exclaimed Dixie, fast-forwarding the video recording, and then playing more cassettes.
In the next videocassette, the quartet was shown on another day watching over the entire herd of kong children that they had kidnapped; the latter seemed to have more and more autonomy and were already carrying out actions on their own, and were even beginning to speak more fluently, but even so, they continued to obey the orders that the quartet gave them.
Diddy and Dixie fast forwarded the recording until the afternoon hours, since that was where they both found them again, in addition to being the first time they went out to play with them.
«Rocky: (There are the monkeys, they did come! Let's go!), he exclaimed as they watched behind some trees for Diddy and Dixie to arrive, and they got out to see them immediately.
Jemky (JENNY): (Diddy! Dixie!)
(Hi! How are you? We were looking for you), Dixie told them.
(Yeah, we had come in the morning but we didn't find you here), Diddy added. (I thought something had happened to you).
Jemky (JENNY): (Oh, no, nothing happened. We had gone to look for food and just arrived).
Rocky (RICKY): (And besides… we went to heal Mandy's leg), he added pointing to 'Mandy'. (She's already better and can walk well).
(Really? Did she recover so quickly from an… injury?), Diddy said looking at her strangely.
Melenky (MELVYN): (Yeah, it's that… Well, it wasn't so serious after all. We found a medicine ape who was able to help us heal her injury).
«Jemky: (What the heck?! Melenky!)
«Rocky: (What is that foolishness you just said, Melenky?!)
«Mandrew: (And you too, Rocky! Why do you mention this girl's leg?!)
(Wow, and how did he make her recover quickly?), Dixie asked, pointing at 'Mandy's' leg.
Mandrew (MANDY): (Well… is that he told me to immerse myself in a spring with medicinal waters and we saw it worked a lot; I already feel the best), 'she' hastened to say as an excuse.
»»»
(Come, let's go up to the vines. You're going to like this), Diddy told them as he brought a couple of thick vines. That was the scene where they went down that cliff.
Melenky (MELVYN): (Will we go down there in… those vines?), he asked with some trepidation, to which Diddy and Dixie nodded.
«Rocky: (Those two went crazy! We're going to fall into the water and goodbye to everything!)
«Mandrew: (They're crazy if they think we're going to go down like that and tear ourselves apart!)
Mandrew (MANDY): (But... what if we fall?)
(Don't worry, we've come down here a bunch of times), Dixie stated as she took the girls' arms and, likewise, Diddy took the boys.
(Besides, if we fall it'll be into the water), Diddy added.
«Rocky: (To top it off. SAY NO!)
«Jemky: (No, say yes to everything, otherwise they'll get bored of us and we'll lose them!)
«Mandrew: (BUT THE WATER! We can't let these mechanical monkeys get wet or they'll get electrocuted!)
«Jemky: (Just hold on tight, don't be a killjoy! Just pretend you're having fun).
Diddy and Dixie, in the video, held from a vine, while the four of them held on to them to descend the entire cliff, at the same time they screamed and could be heard quite tense. And this time they weren't pretending, they seemed to really fear for the safety of their mechanical children and they were shouting so seriously that, luckily for them, no insults towards Diddy and Dixie escaped.
«Mandrew: (THESE MONKEYS ARE GOING TO DISMANTLE US!), he exclaimed in a panicked manner as they descended.
(Hold on! We're going to land!), Dixie exclaimed.
»»»
(Well, how about we get in the water now?), Dixie suggested to them as she walked with Diddy towards the lake later.
(Uhh, no, no, no!), the four exclaimed hastily.
(Huh? Why not?), Diddy asked, still smiling at them.
«Rocky: (SAY NO! NOW TELL THEM NO!)
Mandrew (MANDY): (It's that... Well... we don't know how to swim), she replied slowly. (Why don't we go somewhere else?)
(Really? Oh, don't worry, we won't swim in the deep areas and we'll save you if something happens to you), Dixie told them kindly.
«Mandrew: (Ugh, how insistent!)
«Melenky: (Uh, hey... and it looks like it's going to rain in that place).
(Look, it's starting to rain!), Diddy exclaimed, jumping with excitement. (We can bathe and jump in puddles).
(Oh, no! WATER!), the four shouted desperately as they began to run in an aimless direction.
«Jemky: (NOW, RUN! RUN!)
The quartet ran to stand under a tree to take cover from the rain.
«Mandrew: (And act scared!)
(Hey, what's wrong with you? Are you… afraid of the rain?), Diddy asked them, still looking at them strangely.
Jemky (JENNY): (Oh… we'll tell you the truth: we don't like water, and we don't want to get wet).
(What?!... But why? Who doesn't love water!), Dixie expressed, surprised.
Melenky (MELVYN): (It's t-that you wouldn't understand... How do we explain this to you?... Allergies! We suffer from water allergies).
«Jemky: (Melenky!)
«Mandrew: (You always come up with some foolishness!)
(What?! Really? The four of you?), Diddy asked them. (And… so, how do you bathe?)
Mandrew (MANDY): (Well… with special waters).
(Wait a minute, and hadn't you said that Mandy healed her injury in medicinal waters?), Dixie asked.
«Jemky: (Oh, don't make us look bad! Say something!)
Rocky (RICKY): (Yes, with that same kind of water we bathe and we also drink it when we get thirsty. The medicine ape we mentioned has helped us a lot with our allergies).
(Wow, I've never heard about water allergies), Diddy said, looking surprised. (It must be uncommon. Have you always had them or what?)
Jemky (JENNY): (Yes, and it has been hard to deal with. We've hardly ever been able to enjoy the beach or the lakes. And not to mention when we have to cross from island to island by sea, it's terrible!)
»»»
(Hey… can I ask you something?), Dixie told them. (Have you... really always been alone? Haven't you had a fixed home?)
«Jemky: (It's now, show up ourselves like abandoned children and tell the story we made up!)
Jemky (JENNY): (Well… yes, the four of us have always been alone. You see, we… were abandoned by our parents when we were toddlers).
(What?!), Diddy and Dixie exclaimed successively. (So… from a very young age?)
Rocky (RICKY): (Yes, it was a time when there was a massive abandonment of children, not only us, but many other ape children were abandoned in the middle of an island and left alone. We don't remember much about our parents).
Melenky (MELVYN): (It was hard to survive among us, but we had to get used to it. And not to mention that the other children treated us the worst, they always did us evil and told us that we were weirdos... They also made fun of our allergies!).
(Oh, no, how cruel those children were), Dixie exclaimed.
(But so… no one else has taken care of you?), Diddy asked them.
Mandrew (MANDY): (Just some gorilla ones, but they also abandoned us. The four of us have been best friends all our lives, and we were tired of living with those other stupid kids and that's why we decided to make our own lives and left that island. Sometimes we have met them again, but we just greet them; we don't get along with them).
Rocky (RICKY): (And from there, we have gone from island to island moving).
Jemky (JENNY): (But even so, we haven't been able to find a good home where we can live peacefully... Not to mention that many animals we've met have treated us like trash).
«Jemky: (I hope all that sounded believable).
«Mandrew: (It seems so, they look pitied... By the way, Melenky, I think your idea about allergies wasn't bad).
»»»
Diddy and Dixie fast forwarded the video recording, where they were now seen near the river with the waterfalls.
Jemky (JENNY): (By the way, what was the name of your island?), she asked them as they walked.
(DK Island), Diddy and Dixie replied.
(DK Island?!), the four of them exclaimed as if they were pretending to be shocked.
(What?... Do you know it?!), Diddy and Dixie asked, shocked at their reaction.
Jemky (JENNY): (Of course).
(Really?!), the two exclaimed excitedly.
Melenky (MELVYN): (Uh, do we know that island?), he asked, confused.
Mandrew (MANDY): (Yes, Melvyn, do you remember that gorilla's head shaped island? You are a forgetful clueless).
Melenky (MELVYN): (I'm not clueless!)
«Mandrew: (You have to say yes, Melenky, it's part of the plan!)
«Melenky: (And what time are we going to tell them about the ship and all that?)
«Jemky: (Take it easy, we're just 'getting to know' them; we must establish a better friendship with them to be able to propose something like that).
Diddy and Dixie, as the video recording forwarded, were filled with enormous indignation that they just wanted to get into the screen if they could, and warn themselves what they were exposing themselves to with that quartet... A quartet that had not only turned out to be fake friends, but were actually fakes in every way.

Rocky (RICKY): (It's your turn, Diddy), he said defiantly when they were playing target shooting. (Let's see if you can get it right).
(Well, check this), Diddy replied, preparing his bow and shooting the arrows.
«Rocky: (Hey, we have to admit that the monkey is very good at this), he said this time, sounding honest.
Melenky (MELVYN): (Wow, you're an expert at this! It seems that now I do believe that you have been able to fight against a lizard king along with your uncle).
Rocky (RICKY): (You should teach us).
(Will we play another round now or what?), Diddy suggested.
»»»
Rocky (RICKY): (Hey, Diddy, and how has it been with Dixie?)
(Well, the best), Diddy replied, smiling as he shot another arrow.
Melenky (MELVYN): (And do you love her very much?)
(Too much. She's incredible. More than just my girlfriend, she's the best friend I've ever met).
Rocky (RICKY): (Wow, buddy, and how did you manage to win her heart, huh?), he asked curiously and gave him little pushes.
(Well, I don't know, I could say it just happened. We were very good friends for a long time. I liked her a lot, and when I was finally going to tell her, she told me that she liked me too… And she also told me that she already knew).
Melenky (MELVYN): (Really? And how did she find out?)
(Because those four fools from school told her. They had stolen a notebook where I had Dixie's name written in a heart and they showed it to her).
Melenky (MELVYN): (What?! Geez, how evil).
Rocky (RICKY): (Oh, those classmates you had were really bad), he commented, feigning disgust and as if trying to hold back a laugh.
Melenky (MELVYN): (Hey, Diddy, and what do you like most about Dixie? Her face? Her eyes?)
Rocky (RICKY): (Or her hair?)
(Well, of course, she's so cute), replied Diddy smiling. (But what I like most about her is that she can achieve a lot of things, and no matter what happens, she's very strong. Don't tell her this, but... sometimes I think she's even braver than me… And besides, I feel that I can count on her, and she always listens and understands me… Really, she's so nice).
«Melenky: (Is that serious what the dumb monkey says?), he commented in a mocking tone.
«Rocky: (Oh, how boring; they make me laugh), he added, trying to contain a laugh.
«Jemky: (I'm listening to them too), he said, intruding on the transmission. (Ridiculous monkeys!)
»»»
«Jemky: (Oh, do girls do these little things with their friends?), he said with disgust as he combed Dixie's hair through 'Jenny'. (Ugh, why did you let me be one of these mechanical girls?!)
«Mandrew: (Hey, but look on the bright side: as a girl you can be Dixie's friend), he replied with a few laughs. (By the way, you have to admit that she did my hair better than she did you… I mean, to Mandy girl).
«Jemky: (Excuse me?! But my hair looked better on me… I mean, on Jenny).
Jemky (JENNY): (Wow, Dixie, you have beautiful hair), he commented as he continued to comb Dixie's hair and act a little over the top. (I wish I had it like you).
(Oh, thank you), Dixie replied, smiling at her. (You have pretty hair too, Jenny, it's so soft and defined. And I like its color).
Jemky (JENNY): (Oh, thank you. But yours is long, shiny, silky, smells good... and it can fly).
Mandrew (MANDY): (You also have cute eyes, Dixie), she commented smiling at her.
(But yours are too), Dixie replied in kind.
Jemky (JENNY): (You're so cute, Dixie. Diddy must be very lucky to have you as his girlfriend… By the way, how has it been for you with him?)
(Oh, what can I say, we've done great), Dixie replied. (He's such a cute monkey. He's very nice with me, and I love him very much).
Mandrew (MANDY): (How beautiful!), he exclaimed, acting overly tender. (And you both never fight?)
(Well, I could say that we only sometimes discuss who sleeps by the window), Dixie replied with a laugh.
Mandrew (MANDY): (And how was your first kiss?)
(Oh, it was somewhat strange), Dixie replied, giving a little laugh. (I can tell you that it was the last thing that happened to us before the storm dragged us here. First, we were talking and then we were silent, and suddenly, we just looked at each other and... it happened. In that boat I didn't even have anywhere to run afterwards, I never expected my first kiss to be at that moment).
Jemky (JENNY): (Oh, how romantic! And how did he ask you to be his girlfriend?)
(Well, that's a long story. First of all, I already knew that he liked me. The group of those four foolish kids from school told me; at first, I didn't want to believe them, but then I took a good look at how Diddy acted with me and I could confirm it).
Mandrew (MANDY): (Oh, no. Those bad kids ruined the surprise).
Jemky (JENNY): (I see that those bad kids from your school have made your lives miserable), he added, feigning disgust.
»»»
Mandrew (MANDY): (And what do you like most about him, Dixie? His eyes, his nose, his face?)
Jemky (JENNY): (Does he say a lot of cute things to you all the time?)
(Well, of course I like everything about him; he's a cute monkey. He's a little shy to express himself in that loving way, but... he listens to me and makes me smile when I'm fine and when I'm not too. He has never pretended to be someone different; he shows himself as he is. And besides, he's very brave... He says no, but he really is… He's really so cute).
Diddy and Dixie, while watching those scenes, tried to look away so as not to feel some shame by being present with each other listening to those words, after having broken their love bond.
«Jemky: (But what the heck with these two?! I still don't understand how she liked that monkey! Literally, that stupid guy didn't have to do anything to win her love!)
«Mandrew: (That pair talks antics. They're dumbs).
«Melenky: (Do they also respond with the same nonsense?), he said, interfering in the conversation. (Seriously, they're just as ridiculous).
And likewise, both felt more and more indignant upon hearing all the quartet's comments, and upon thinking that they had been close to them all the time.
They played the following video cassettes in fast motion, where each one of them filled them with more indignation until they made them stamp their feet with rage. In those days they had been so happy to have found four friends on that island with whom they could play and share moments, and that is what was seen in the following video recordings: the six of them spending nice days of entertainment, having long conversations, doing recreational activities, playing as a group of friends. Everything seemed to be great... except for the fact that, when hearing the voices of those four harmless kids at that time, they could also hear the intersecting voices of the other four evil kids, in addition to the comments of hatred and mockery towards Diddy and Dixie what the four of them said during the video recordings.
At the end of the day in those video recordings, the quartet was seen 'taking care' of the kidnapped kong children. Many of these children even spoke normally as if they were not under the effects of the hypnotizing mixture. They had become more self-sufficient; however, they didn't stop obeying the quartet to everything they told to them; the latter were even teaching them certain techniques with which they built that ship.
Then, Diddy and Dixie played the following video cassettes in fast motion. This time they tried the one titled:
»»»"Day 55. Ship proposal to that pair of monkeys"
(Will you feed us now?), asked one of the kidnapped kong children, who were already beginning to speak independently to the quartet.
Mandrew (MANDY): (In a few minutes we'll bring food to you, don't worry).
(I want to build that ship right now!), replied another of the kidnapped children, expressing himself with apparent normality.
Rocky (RICKY): (We'll start with that the other week. We haven't yet introduced the pair of monkeys that we always mention to you; they'll also go with us).
«Jemky: (Hey, and it's already afternoon, we have to go see those monkeys; today we'll tell them about the ship).
(Is also your name Jemky?), one of the kidnapped girls asked 'Jenny'.
Jemky (JENNY): (No, no, no! My name is Jenny, call me JENNY. Our names are Jenny, Mandy, Melvyn and Ricky; forget about those other names we call each other. And don't mention them at all when we'll bring you that couple of monkeys! Never do that!)

In next scenes, the quartet were near the treehouse, where they appeared to be waiting for Diddy and Dixie to arrive.
«Melenky: (Hey... don't get me wrong, but... I like those two monkeys better now).
«Rocky: (Say what?!), he exclaimed in a shocked tone, at the same time as the other two. (What did you say?!)
«Melenky: (Oh, I meant that I still dislike them and will forever, but… they're not so bad now that we've become their 'friends').
«Mandrew: (Well, I hate to say it, but… I think I feel the same way. And I even believe that if we hadn't found them here, this mission wouldn't be the same; they have made it more entertaining, even if it's to make fun of them. And I even hate to admit that I like playing with them, and even when we meet with Dixie to play girl games).
«Rocky: (Oh, okay, I hate to say it too, but I think it's true... Moreover, Diddy was our friend a long time ago and he really wasn't that bad. He was just too cowardly for our games; he didn't want to eat millipede sweets with us, and not to mention when he threw our guns into the sea. I didn't know Dixie well before, but she's almost like Diddy. Sometimes those two are cool).
«Jemky: (Are those two monkeys cool? Well… it must be said; I think they're on certain occasions, but... Bah! I really dislike them anyway! Stupid monkeys!)
«Melenky: (Yeah, they're pathetic monkeys anyway).
«Mandrew: (Yeah, a pair of gecko-faced dwarf monkeys!... And look, here they come!)
«Jemky: (Well, do everything as planned).
(How are you, friends!), Diddy greeted them with joy arriving along with Dixie.
(Are you ready for another adventure?), Dixie added.
(Of course we are!), all four replied.
»»»
Jemky (JENNY): (Well, friends, it's that… we have a proposal for you).
(Proposal? About what?), Diddy asked.
Rocky (RICKY): (You see, we know that you want and need to return to your island, and well… I think we can help you).
»»»
Mandrew (MANDY): (Well, we were thinking about building a ship. But a large and very resistant one, that can withstand storms. And we wanted to know if… you want to join too).
Rocky (RICKY): (Yeah, and then we can take you to your island. And if we rush, it could be ready in a couple of weeks or less. You'll be on your island in less time than expected!)
(Wait, wait), Dixie interrupted. (But are you sure you know well that 'safe route' that can lead us to DK Island? I've not heard anyone here who knows anything like that).
Mandrew (MANDY): (Oh, come on! You're talking to a quartet of kids who have spent almost their entire lives exploring islands. We've been through that route whenever it's hurricane season).
»»»
«Melenky: (Are you sure we have convinced them?), he whispered as they watched Diddy and Dixie talking privately about the proposal.
«Jemky: (I know we did, just wait).
(Okay, friends… We agree), Dixie announced to them.
(Yeah!), exclaimed the four, showing enthusiasm.
Melenky (MELVYN): (It'll be a great adventure and we'll have a lot of fun; you'll see).
(By the way…why do you want to do this?), Diddy asked them.
Jemky (JENNY): (Oh… it's that, well… we just wanted to do something nice for you), he replied, smiling at them and feigning kindness. (You've been very good to us all this time we've known you).
Mandrew (MANDY): (Yeah, only you have accepted us as we are), he added, pretending too. (You're one of the few who don't make us feel discriminated against).
Rocky (RICKY): (And we think this is a great way to return the favor to you. We haven't known you for long, but... I think we haven't ever had friends as kind and great as you.).
"They couldn't be more hypocritical," Dixie commented, very angry and grumbling while watching that scene in the video.
»»»
(Hey, friends), Diddy said quietly to 'Ricky' and 'Melvyn' later on. (I need a little help).
Rocky (RICKY): (Yeah? What do you need, Diddy?)
(It's that… I want to give Dixie a gift, but I still don't know what it could be).
Rocky (RICKY): (A gift, you say? And… what do you plan to give her?)
(I don't know yet, that's why I'm asking if you have any suggestions… In fact, I have something specific to give her, I was thinking about an emerald. But I need more things to add, you know... those gifts with details. You said that you have had a girlfriend, didn't you give them some kind of gift like that?)
«Melenky: (A gift, that monkey says?... Is he still thinking about gifts for Dixie?)
«Rocky: (Never mind! Let's say yes, we still have to say yes to everything).
»»»
Rocky (RICKY): (But we could help you anyway, buddy. You see, with the emerald maybe we can help you get it. But for those details you say, ask the girls that; they know more about those couple gifts).
«Jemky: (Excuse me?!)
»»»
«Jemky: (And why did you involve Mandrew and me in this?!), he later replied to Rocky.
«Rocky: (You gave gifts to Dixie, so I entrusted it specifically to you).
«Jemky: (I'm sorry, but I'm not going to cooperate with that monkey to give a gift to that ungrateful fool girl who didn't even accept one of my gifts... And why does that stupid monkey want to give her a gift? He doesn't need to do that anymore; he already won her love).
«Rocky: (Hey, brother, leave the resentment for now; we have to continue treating those two nicely).
«Mandrew: (Bah, I'm also tired of pretending to be good to them... What if we do some prank on them or something?)
«Melenky: (Hey... what if... we help them with their little gift... but we also ruin it?)
«Rocky: (No! We can't be mean to them if what we want is to make them also go on the ship with the other children).
«Jemky: (I agree! We can put a trap or some bad surprise in their stupid little gift. I can help you so!)
«Mandrew: (Hey, that's not a bad idea! After all, I've been needing to make fun of them for a long time).
«Rocky: (Wait, wait! I admit it: I also need to make fun of that pair of pathetic monkeys, but we are on a KIDNAPPING mission, and we're not going to achieve it with those two that way).
«Jemky: (Relax, it'll be a TRAP, meaning they WON'T discover that it was us. What's more, if you say that we should treat them nicely, then we can also remedy that trap later to make ourselves look good to them... It would have to be some trap with which we make Dixie angry with Diddy... Hmm, I think I got an idea).
»»»
Jemky (JENNY): (And so, we were thinking that you could give Dixie a box. You know, those that carry flowers, candies, and of course: love notes. Girls love those details).
(Okay. But how would I hide such a gift so that Dixie doesn't find out yet?), Diddy asked.
Mandrew (MANDY): (Don't worry. If you want, we can have it here and then you'll come to pick it up again when you want to deliver it to her).
(Okay, girls. I really thank you. Hey, and I got an idea: how about if the six of us go to the animal shelter tomorrow? You two will distract Dixie while I'll return here with Ricky and Melvyn to pick the gift up, and then give it to Dixie).
Jemky (JENNY): (I think it's a good plan! I'm sure Dixie will like it a lot).
Mandrew (MANDY): (Hey, Diddy, but… what is that shelter like?)
(Don't worry, all the animals there are good. And as we told you, some are even our friends).
Jemky (JENNY): (Well, so, there is no need to fear… So, how about we start?)
«Rocky: (One moment! How are we going to go to that shelter?! We can't expose ourselves!)
«Jemky: (You said we should say yes to everything and treat them nicely, right?), he said in a mocking tone.
»»»
Jemky (JENNY): (Only the letters left, Diddy, aren't you going to put them on it?)
(I'll write those later and bring them tomorrow), Diddy replied, getting up. (It's that Dixie was feeling a little scared because of some nightmares she had, and I don't want to leave her like that until very late).
Mandrew (MANDY): (Oh, you're so good to her. You guys are so adorable together).
Jemky (JENNY): (Yeah, you're both a cute little couple. You're our favorite couple!)
»»»
(I really appreciate everything; you're good friends), Diddy said to 'Jenny'.
Jemky (JENNY): (It's nothing, Diddy. That's what we're here for… Wow… how lucky Dixie must be to have a boyfriend like you).
(Of course. And I feel lucky to have her, too).
«Jemky: (Ugh, how I hate you, monkey!)
»»»
(I really thank you, friends, seriously), Diddy told them before leaving. (Don't forget, we'll see you tomorrow).
Rocky (RICKY): (Okay, buddy. That's what we're here for), he replied by patting him on the shoulder. (And count on us for tomorrow).
(See you later, Diddy!), the four said goodbye to Diddy... before uttering insults and taunts towards him when he had already left.
»»»"Day 56. Carnivorous plant"
«Rocky: (If something goes wrong coming to this shelter, it's your fault!)
«Jemky: (Hey, relax, maybe no one knows us and we'll pass along like any other kids).
Mandrew (MANDY): (Wow! This place is amazing), she said as looking around the shelter.
Melenky (MELVYN): (It's super spacious. I think we would have come here at the beginning).
Jemky (JENNY): (Are they all the animals you rescued from the zoo?), she asked, pointing to all the animals in general.
(They are some of them; others were already here when we arrived), Dixie replied.
«Rocky: (I still don't believe they could have carried out a rescue mission like that).
»»»
(By the way, friends, the apes who owned this shelter made a banana cake), a zebra commented to Diddy, Dixie and the quartet. (You can go eat some if you want. Oh, your new friends can eat too).
(Banana cake? That's great!), Diddy exclaimed before talking to the four kids. (What do you say, friends? Do you want to?)
«Rocky: (Don't accept! These mechanical monkeys can't swallow anything).
Jemky (JENNY): (Uhh… No, thanks. We don't want to eat anything for now).
(Really? Not even a banana cake?), Dixie added, trying to cheer them up.
Rocky (RICKY): (No, no, it's that... we ate recently and we are full. And we don't like cakes, thank you).

(My son!), exclaimed that gorilla who was surely the father of the child kong whom they called 'Ricky'. He took him in his arms and hugged him quite affectionately.
Rocky (RICKY): (Say what?!), he replied all confused.
(I can't believe it, my son!), said the gorilla while Ricky, or rather Rocky, was still confused. (Hey, everyone, I found my son!)
«Rocky: (Oh, no! Darn, darn, darn! Don't tell me that this gorilla knows this kid!)
«Mandrew: (No, no, no, tell him you don't know him!)
«Jemky: (Deny it as much as you can!)
(My child, you don't know how long I waited to see you again and-)
Rocky (RICKY): (No, no, no! Wait a moment, sir!), he interrupted, trying to get out of the gorilla's arms. (I think you have been confused, but I don't know you).
(What are you saying? I'm your father! Look at you, you've grown up since the last time I saw you when I got caught by those circus tamers-)
(Wait a minute!), Diddy interrupted, who was also confused. (Are you sure he's your son?)
(Of course he's; he even liked to dress like that with these shirts over one another. It's my son Tommy!)
Rocky (RICKY): (Hey, no, sir! There must be a misunderstanding here), he insisted, getting free completely. (My name is Ricky, maybe you confused me with your son you mention).
«Rocky: (I told you not to come here! Someone who knows these mechanical monkeys could find us out!)
«Jemky: (Just act like it's true!)
»»»
Melenky (MELVYN): (Hey, Dixie), he said, walking towards her. (Diddy is waiting for you out there).
Rocky (RICKY): (He has a surprise for you).
(A surprise?), Dixie exclaimed in confusion.
Mandrew (MANDY): (That's right, that's why he went out).
Jemky (JENNY): (Go, what are you waiting for, Dixie?!)
When Dixie went out, she met Diddy, while the four kids decided to stay near the shelter to give privacy to their two 'friends'… or rather, they went to take other actions and hid behind some trees while they kept an eye on both.
(What's going on, Diddy?), Dixie was heard saying in the distance.
(Uh, it's that… I have something for you. Come on, let's go home for a while).
«Jemky: (It's now or never! Go, let's go!)
The quartet began to run at full speed until later arriving under the tree of Mr. Pinky's very house. They began to rummage through the bushes under said tree, and took out the gift box for Dixie.
«Jemky: (Here it is! Do as we planned!), he said while holding the box through 'Jenny'.
'Mandy' took the emerald and began to hit it with a sharp stone, trying to make cuts to weaken it.
On the other hand, 'Melvyn' and 'Ricky' headed to another nearby bush, where they had hidden a carnivorous plant, which was tied in a small box. They took the plant to the gift box, and hid it at the bottom of it, causing it to get lost among the flowers there. Then, 'Mandy' also put the fragmented emerald in the box, making sure it didn't break in her hands yet. Finally, 'Jenny' put the letter envelopes, from which she extracted the latter.
"Oh, darn them!" Diddy exclaimed indignantly, looking at the scene where his gift was ruined.
«Melenky: (Here come those two, let's hide!)
»»»
«Jemky: (I need to see this), he said with a malicious tone while they watched the two behind the bushes. (They'll surely fight about that).
«Mandrew: (Look, she's already opening the box).
(Oh, so, this was a surprise), Dixie commented with a little laugh as she looked at Diddy's gift. (It's very nice of you, Diddy. Thank you, really).
(You're welcome, Dix), Diddy replied.
(Wow, this emerald is very pretty), said Dixie as she took the emerald. (And it also shines-)
(What…?!), Diddy exclaimed, confused when he saw that the emerald had broken. (Oh, no, but what happened?... I-I swear it wasn't like that all this time, Dixie).
«Melenky: (Oh, poor monkey, how it turned out badly!), he said while laughing out loud with the rest of the quartet.
«Jemky: (And this is just the beginning! Now she's looking at the letters... if she can find them).
(Huh? What's up, Dix?), Diddy asked, noticing another expression on Dixie's face.
(It's that… there's nothing here), Dixie replied, showing the inside of the envelope and not finding any letter.
(But… how is it possible?), Diddy said as he grabbed the envelope and checked inside. (Oh, it can't be, I'm sure I recently saved it… Or maybe I left it. Sorry again, Dixie).
«Jemky: (Oops, what a pity, monkeys), he commented sarcastically, before bursting out laughing with the rest of the group.
«Mandrew: (No, no, no, I need to see how this ends!), he added while continuing to laugh. (Look, look, look! Here comes the best part!)
(Wow, the flowers are so pretty), Dixie commented as she examined the flowers. (All are of different colors and also- AAAHHH!)
Dixie began to scream and shake her arm in desperation, at the same time she dropped the box against the floor. That carnivorous plant was biting her arm.
(Don't worry! I'll help you!), Diddy exclaimed as he hastened to help Dixie.
For the quartet, it was like watching a comedy show. Their unstoppable laughter could be heard so loudly that they made it seem like the audio from the recording was having errors.
«Rocky: (Okay, I admit it, I admit it! This was fun and better than I thought!), he said while continuing to laugh out loud with the other three kids.
«Mandrew: (I think we should do this more often!)
«Jemky: (No, please! I'm not going to put up with so much laughter later!)
«Melenky: (I've never bothered a couple before, it's so fun!)
«Jemky: (Well, now we'll activate ourselves in 'good friends' mode again).
»»»
Jemky (JENNY): (But… what happened to Dixie?!), 'she' asked, pretending to be shocked at seeing Dixie's injured arm.
(You see, friends, I don't know if you've noticed before, but… in the flowers you showed me, there was a carnivorous plant and it attacked Dixie).
(What?! A… carnivorous plant?), the four of them exclaimed, pretending to be confused and, clearly, holding back their laughter.
Mandrew (MANDY): (But what are you saying? There were no carnivorous plants in those flowers, it shouldn't), she commented carefully taking Dixie's arm.
Jemky (JENNY): (We checked them well and there was nothing. Oh, no, we're really sorry, friends. It must have been our fault).
(No, don't worry, maybe that plant was infiltrated by accident), Dixie replied, calming them down. (Oh, and I also thank you guys for helping Diddy with the details… even if it turned out like that).
Rocky (RICKY): (And what about the other things in the gift? Was everything okay?)
(Well, in fact everything was ruined), Diddy replied, disappointed in himself. (The emerald broke, the letter was lost and the chewing gum fell off when Dixie was attacked by that plant).
Melenky (MELVYN): (Oh, no, we're so sorry, friends), he said feigning pity along with the other three kids.
"But how shameless those four stupid kids are!" Dixie exclaimed, watching that scene with indignation.
Jemky (JENNY): (Uh, hey… but I think we have something to fix this. Is your injury serious, Dixie?)
(Yes… and it hurts a lot), Dixie replied, rubbing her arm.
Jemky (JENNY): (Well, do you remember we mentioned that we know a medicine ape? He had a remedy that can heal wounds in less than five minutes).
Mandrew (MANDY): (You mean what he used to cure my injury, Jenny?), she asked, playing along.
Jemky (JENNY): (That one!)
(In less than five minutes?), Dixie questioned. (Are you saying it... seriously?)
Rocky (RICKY): (Yes, literally, in less than five minutes it even leaves you without a scar. It worked with Mandy last time, do you remember?)
»»»
«Jemky: (Wait… Didn't Dixie get mad at that monkey?), he said in a disappointed tone while they watched Diddy and Dixie together outside the house from afar.
(Don't worry, everything was still nice and you made me smile a lot, believe me you did), Dixie could be heard saying while hugging Diddy and smiling at him. (And this wound will heal... If you want, you can give me another new surprise gift later).
(I know… but everything was ruined, not even the bubblegums were left), Diddy replied, quite disappointed.
(It doesn't matter anymore, Diddy, at least you tried and I still thank you very much for the detail you had with me), Dixie said before giving him a kiss on the cheek. (I love you so much, Diddy, and you always make me so happy).
(I love you too, Dix), Diddy replied, hugging her back and caressing her cheeks and hair.
«Jemky: (URGH, I THOUGHT THEY WERE GOING TO FIGHT! Girls are supposed to get angry if their boyfriends give them disastrous gifts!... HUH, but all my darn gifts were rejected by that fool girl!)
«Mandrew: (Bah, there's no doubt that that monkey girl likes monkey boys that are cowardly and clumsy).
«Jemky: (Anyway, let's go get that healing mixture, before I feel like going out and kidnapping them by force right now!)
"Whiner orangutan," Dixie commented, rolling her eyes as she listened to him on the video recording.
»»»
Mandrew (MANDY): (Excuse us, we took a long time because that medicine ape had to prepare the mixture), she stated in reference to the healing mixture they had.
Melenky (MELVYN): (And it took too long), he added with a shrug.
Jemky (JENNY): (Well, let me see your arm, Dixie), she said while holding the jar.
Dixie removed the bandage from her arm and showed them her wound. The four of them made a gesture of pain and compassion when they saw it... or rather, they faked it.
Jemky (JENNY): (Wow, that plant really hurt you), she commented as she held her arm and got ready to heal the wound. (Well, now look at this. It'll only hurt a little).
»»»
(It's time for dinner, kids- Huh?), Mr. Pinky said before seeing the quartet. (Oh, hello… Let me guess: are you Mr. Diddy and Miss Dixie's friends?)
(Yes, mister, it's them), Diddy replied, pointing at them.
«Jemky: (It can't be, it's really Mr. Pinky!)
Melenky (MELVYN): (Nice to see you... Mr. Pinky, I'm Melvyn), he said, running to shake the teacher's hand.
(Wow, so you're their new friends. Nice meeting you too, children), the teacher replied after greeting them all. (Mr. Diddy and Miss Dixie always talk to me about you; they say you're good friends… Oh, and they tell me that you were my students, is that… true?)
«Rocky: (Act as if you have known him all your life).
Jemky (JENNY): (Ah, yes, Mr. Pinky, don't you remember us? We were your students a couple of years ago).
(Hey… Uhh, I just want you to excuse me, but… I don't remember you. I mean, I've had so many students; I don't always remember them all).
Melenky (MELVYN): (Don't you really remember us, Mr. Pinky?), he asked, simulating a sad look. (I was your favorite student).
(Favorite student? Oh... I'm really sorry, kids, but I don't remember seeing your face. But don't worry, I could meet you again), he added, smiling at them in the last sentence, but then his face changed. (Hmm, although… excuse me for a moment).
«Mandrew: (But what is wrong with him? Why does he grab Mandy's hair?)
Mandrew (MANDY): (W-what's up, Mr. Pinky?)
(Your name is Mandy, right?... Oh, sorry, it's that... you look a lot like a little girl who disappeared on this island a few months ago and they have been searching for her so much. Although she had her hair up and her name was Destiny).
«Rocky: (Ugh, tell him you know nothing, Mandrew, deny everything he questions you!)
Mandrew (MANDY): (No, no, I've never disappeared. We haven't even had a family).
»»»
(A medicine ape? I don't remember knowing that there was a medicine ape here), the teacher stated after being told about how they had healed Dixie's wound. (Where does he live?)
«Jemky: (Give him any excuse, even if it's stupid!)
Rocky (RICKY): (Uhh… well, he lives in a corner of this island, in a cave. But he doesn't want anyone to visit him, that's why he's not as well known).
(Okay, it was a good act on your part to help Miss Dixie anyways), the teacher said to the quartet. (By the way, it's going to be time for dinner, don't you want to come too as an act of gratitude?)
«Rocky: (No, don't accept food!)
Mandrew (MANDY): (Oh, we really thank you, Mr. Pinky. But… we already have something prepared at our house, so it could be for another occasion).
(No, no, I can't just leave you like that. Or if you want, take it home, what do you think?), the teacher told them kindly.
»»»
«Jemky: ('… now I understand, Dixie, I understand how nice it feels to love someone this way. I love you so much, Dix, and I want us to continue being happy and together forever. I hope you like this detail'... Urgh! How I hate those two!), he exclaimed, clutching the paper as they read the letters that Diddy was going to give Dixie in the ruined gift.
«Mandrew: (Yeah, yeah, that's what I told my ex-girlfriend and she even still left me because of her baboon-faced she had as a boyfriend later), he said with disgust.
«Rocky: (Hey, I admit that what that dumb monkey writes to her makes me laugh. He doesn't know how to write love letters; he just tells her that he feels good with her, he doesn't tell her deep things like that she's the best thing that's ever happened to him in his entire life or some romantic phrase, I don't know).
«Jemky: (Yeah, just look how he writes here: 'I don't know how it could happen, but now you and I are together'… AHHH! I still don't understand how the heck that DUMB did it!), he grumbled before starting to tear the letters to pieces through 'Jenny'.
«Melenky: (Maybe one day those two stupid monkeys are going to break up, don't worry. Throughout their lives, they'll meet more boys and girls that they'll like too, and there they'll forget about each other, or they may even cheat on each other).
«Jemky: (One moment!), he exclaimed, calming down before pausing. (What if... we make them break up or something?)
«Mandrew: (Hey… it doesn't sound like such a bad idea), he added in a tone of excitement. (Can we do that?)
«Rocky: (No, no, no, we can't do that, we must take them well on that ship!)
«Jemky: (I said 'make them break up', that is, make them two fight and hate each other. About taking them on the ship, we can take them anyways).
«Melenky: (We could set some other trap for them or something to make them fight).
«Jemky: (No, no, I don't think we need another trap... You mentioned it, Melenky: more boys and girls who they might like... and I was thinking... that maybe I can't steal that dumb monkey's girlfriend now, but... I can steal her stupid boyfriend from her… I'm going to steal him from her! I'LL DO THAT!)
«Melenky: (Uh... Jemky, what did you say?... So, you to that monkey…)
«Rocky: (Hey, Jemky… is that you?), he asked, starting to laugh a little.
«Jemky: (Oh, not me, fools! I'm talking about Jenny! She'll do it... I mean, yes, I would, but through Jenny, do you understand?)
«Mandrew: (And will that work with that monkey?)
«Jemky: (Please, are you going to tell me that Jenny isn't so pretty? I bet even that monkey might have thought about it at some point).
«Rocky: (It's true, Jenny is a very pretty girl, but... that monkey looks so in love with Dixie).
«Jemky: (Oh, come on. Do you notice that Diddy is a boy? It's so easy for a boy to fall for a girl, in fact, I bet you anything that the first attempt that monkey will fall, and if it's not on the first attempt, it'll be on the second. And after I get it, you guys tell Dixie and we'll make her know and that's it. With that, her love for that dumb monkey will be completely over!)
«Rocky: (Hey, I don't think Diddy is going to fall in love with another girl, just look at him... you can see how he has eyes only for Dixie).
«Jemky: (Oh, and are you going to believe that?), he said in a mocking tone. (With girls you have to convince them, win their heart, give them gifts and be kind to them so that they want to give you a chance, not with boys; with them everything is easier, they fall the first attempt).
«Melenky: (Hey, but then if that happens… are you going to pretend to be that monkey's new 'girlfriend' until the end?), he asked before starting to laugh out loud along with Mandrew and Rocky.
«Jemky: (Ugh, it's true! I hadn't thought about it... Never mind, there I'll break up with him too and that stupid monkey will run out of girlfriends).
«Mandrew: (Just like how you stayed because all your ex-girlfriends broke up with you?)
«Jemky: (UGH, SHUT UP or better YOU take that monkey from her! You're also one of the girls!)
«Mandrew: (Don't be a clown, you do it!)
(Hey, will you make us more of this food? It was so delicious!), one of the kidnapped kong children came to tell them with a tray of leftover food.
Jemky (JENNY): (Uh, no, that food was given to us by a teacher where those two monkeys that we're going to introduce to you next week live), he replied smiling at them.
«Rocky: (Alright, and we have to tell these children about next week's matter).
Rocky (RICKY): (HEY, EVERYONE, COME HERE FOR A MOMENT, PLEASE!), he ordered the herd of kidnapped kongs, and they gathered in rows in front of the quartet as if it were an army. (Well, as you know, at the beginning of next week we'll begin to build that ship and we'll also introduce you to those two monkeys we always talk about. So please, do everything we tell you to do. BEWARE about calling us any other way than Jenny, Melvyn, Ricky or Mandy. AND PLEASE, if they ask you something like if you hated us and treated us badly when we were little and now we're your friends, TELL THEM YES, and tell them that whole story that we made up. Oh, and by the way, we're going to introduce you little by little, and as the days go by, we'll introduce the rest... Okay?!)
(Okay!), they all replied in unison as if they were a choir.
«Mandrew: (Oh, they're so adorable, obeying everything).
»»»"Day 59. First day of the ship"
(Wow, wait a minute), Diddy said, confused. (Are you referring to those kids you lived with when you were little?... The ones you didn't get along with?)
Rocky (RICKY): (Yes, the same ones. But that was many years ago when we were very young. Now that we meet them again, we decided to forget all those grudges and better be friends).
Jemky (JENNY): (By the way, they're at our house right now. Do you want to come and meet them?)

Mandrew (MANDY): (Okay, they're coming!), he said to the entire herd inside the tree house. (Please, everyone greet them and say that they're our best friends!)
Then, Diddy and Dixie appeared on the scene, entering the quartet's house.
Mandrew (MANDY): (Hey! Diddy! Dixie! How are you?), she greeted them with joy. (Oh, yeah, look, we introduce you to some old friends; they-)
(You are Diddy and Dixie?!), asked one of the children approaching Diddy and Dixie.
(Well yes... it's us), Diddy replied confused.
(Ricky, Melvyn, Jenny and Mandy talk a lot about you!), added another of the children with a very cheerful voice. (They say you are their best friends).
(Yes, yes… Of course), Dixie replied with a forced smile.
(Is it true that you saved them from a kidnapper ape?!), they continued asking.
«Rocky: (Ugh, they're going to riot), he said as they saw all the kong children crowding towards Diddy and Dixie.
Mandrew (MANDY): (HEY! Stop now! Silence!), she exclaimed, making everyone quiet. (Let them talk, you are scaring them!)
(Oh, we're sorry), the children said in succession as they walked away again.
Mandrew (MANDY): (Uh, excuse us, friends), she said to Diddy and Dixie. (As I said, they are all our old friends, the ones we mentioned from when we were abandoned almost as babies. A few days ago, they arrived right on this island and we met again, and well... we received them here. Now, everyone greet Diddy and Dixie).
»»»
Jemky (JENNY): (Don't worry, we're going to teach them how to build a boat, including you. And rest assured; when the ship is ready, we'll take you home first).
(Okay… So, what are we waiting for?), Diddy replied with a forced smile. (We can start as soon as possible).
Rocky (RICKY): (Well, so, let's talk to the others).
»»»
Jemky (JENNY): (Well, here's all we have to do), she said, pointing to the entire plan of the ship... which had been given to them by the group of adult mandrills and orangutans. (We'll have to follow everything to a T. Don't worry, we'll help you with any difficulties you have).
(Hey… and where did you get this sketch plan?), Diddy asked them.
Melenky (MELVYN): (We did it. It took us two whole days to do it).
(Wow… I didn't know you drew so well), Dixie complimented. (Seriously, it's all good…detailed).
»»»
(Where did you learn all this from?), Diddy asked the four as they gave them instructions.
Mandrew (MANDY): (We've been perfecting ourselves all these years).
(That's great, I see you guys know quite a bit), Dixie added, flattering them. (You should be boat builders).
«Mandrew: (If they knew why we're going to build that ship).
»»»
Jemky (JENNY): (Hey, Diddy. Could you come and help us with something?)
(Yes, what's going on?), Diddy asked as he held up a beam.
Jemky (JENNY): (We need some specific vines that we saw over there, but they are very high. Could you help me take them down, please?)
»»»
«Mandrew: (Hey, Jemky, and will that monkey give in just like that?)
«Jemky: (I've already said it: he's a boy, at the first attempt I'll make Dixie's first horn grow, you'll see).
Jemky (JENNY): (Hey, Diddy), she said, heading towards him. (Has Dixie told you you're a cute monkey?)
(She always tells me that), Diddy replied with a little laugh as he continued untangling vines. (Why?)
Jemky (JENNY): (I see… Because… you really are, Diddy).
(Uhh… really?), Diddy said with a forced smile.
Jemky (JENNY): (Yes, Diddy), she replied, smiling and running her hand over his face. (You're a very brave monkey… and very handsome too. Ever since I met you, I've thought that about you, Diddy, you know?)
(Uhh, yes, thank you, Jenny, b-but… I have to go and get on with what I was doing before), Diddy replied, moving away immediately.
Both Diddy and Dixie looked at each other without knowing what expression to put on as they watched and listened to that scene, while several thoughts came to mind as they saw what was actually happening.
»»»
Jemky (JENNY): (Wow, Diddy, I also see you're very gentlemanly), she said before trying to hug him.
(Hey, hey, wait a minute!), Diddy exclaimed, turning away earlier. (What's wrong with you, Jenny?!)
Jemky (JENNY): (Oh, I just wanted to give you a hug of thanks), she said, giving little laughs.
«Jemky: (He's just nervous; the next time I'll make him fall).
"Oh, no, it can't be," Diddy commented, rolling his eyes as he watched the video recording.
»»»"Day 60. Second day"
Jemky (JENNY): (Here come Diddy and Dixie), he whispered to another group of kidnapped kong children who were going to be introduced that day. (You already know how to behave).
Rocky (RICKY): (Hey, hi, friends, how's it going?!), he said as he saw Diddy and Dixie arrive, and then the other three of the group greeted them.
(Hi… how are you?), Diddy and Dixie replied, showing curiosity about the other kong children who were with them.
Mandrew (MANDY): (Oh, yes, we introduce you to some more friends who arrived), she said, pointing to them. (And by the way, we warn you once and for all that more of them will keep coming these days, so don't be surprised).
(You must be Diddy and Dixie, right?!), one of the new kids asked them.
(Hello. Yes… the same ones), the two replied, somewhat confused.
»»»"Day 64. Friendly meeting"
Rocky (RICKY): (By the way, we were thinking we could meet here tonight).
(To continue with the ship?!), Diddy and Dixie asked.
Rocky (RICKY): (No, of course not. I mean just hanging around together, you know: like at a party or meeting, to share everybody and so on. To relax after so much work).
«Mandrew: (Are we really going to meet to play with all of them?)
«Rocky: (Of course, aren't you tired?)
«Jemky: (What's more... we could make a trick on those pair of stupid monkeys to see if they fight, what do you say?)
»»»
Jemky (JENNY): (Wait, Diddy!), she said as Diddy tried to run away from her, after helping her with something that had nothing to do with the ship. (It still needs to adjust these vines a little more).
(Oh, but what are we going to use this on the ship for?), Diddy asked.
Jemky (JENNY): (They're for decoration. Come on, it's fast), she replied before Diddy began to make the adjustments. (Oh, you're so cute with me, Diddy), she added, hugging him, to which Diddy looked at her strangely and tried to get away from her.
«Jemky: (Urgh, this monkey is a coward!)
»»»
Rocky (RICKY): (Hi, Diddy! Hi, Dixie!), he greeted them with the group, and then they both greeted them back that night of the challenges. (Good thing you came).
(Hasn't everything started yet?), Dixie asked.
Mandrew (MANDY): (No, we're going to make candies first. We were waiting for you).
(Okay, it sounds great), Diddy said excitedly.
Jemky (JENNY): (Well, what are you waiting for? Come with us! We're going to have a lot of fun).
»»»
«Rocky: (Let's see if the monkey doesn't chicken out with this and if he's really in love with Dixie).
Rocky (RICKY): (Hmm… I think I have something better… Well, I dare you to… go to one of the girls and… give her a kiss).
(Uhh… to Dixie, right?), Diddy asked in a confused tone.
Rocky (RICKY): (No, no, to any of the other girls. Any that isn't Dixie).
(W-what?!... How?), Diddy exclaimed, shocked, before starting to laugh. (Hey, Ricky, you must be kidding, right?)
Rocky (RICKY): (No, no, I'm not kidding. I'm really proposing that challenge to you. Come on, do it if you dare).
»»»
«Rocky: (Oh, is it serious about this monkey?!), he exclaimed as they struggled with Diddy.
(NO, NO! Stop! Leave me alone! What's wrong with you?!), Diddy exclaimed, raising his voice and pushing the two kids away. (Understand, I can't and don't want to do that).
«Melenky: (This monkey is even a coward for this?!)
Melenky (MELVYN): (Hey… don't you like girls?!)
(But I don't want to!), replied Diddy. (I mean, it's not to be a killjoy with the game, but I don't go to that limit either).
Rocky (RICKY): (Oh, please, Diddy! There's nothing wrong! You just have to kiss one of the girls... Aren't you a real monkey?!)
(And what does that have to do with it?! You know well that I can't! I don't want to do that to Dixie!)
«Melenky: (Hmm! He says it as if he's always going to think that way and he's going to like Dixie forever).
»»»
Rocky (RICKY): (Oh, but don't be boring, Diddy! Not all your life you'll be falling for one girl; someday you'll like many more! Can't you just kiss another girl just because you think you'll look bad on your girlfriend?!... Hmm, it looks like you're a... cowardly butterfly!)
(Do you know something?... You make me laugh), Diddy told the two with a mocking smile. (Are either of you carrying a coin right now?)
Rocky (RICKY): (Huh? And what does that have to do with here? Why would we need a coin?)
(So you can buy the opinion that I did NOT ask you for about Dixie and me!)
«Rocky: (Urgh, this dumb monkey!... What do we say to him?)
«Melenky: (Oh, throw that gum in his face or I don't know!)
»»»
Jemky (JENNY): (Oh, come on, Dixie! It's just a kiss), she said, giving her a little push when they played with the other kong girls and some boys. (There will be nothing wrong with it).
(B-but... I have a boyfriend!), Dixie exclaimed. (I wouldn't do that to Diddy).
Mandrew (MANDY): (And is there any problem with that? Don't worry, we're not going to say anything to Diddy).
»»»
(But I don't want to! Don't you understand?!), Dixie exclaimed as she struggled to get free from 'Jenny' and 'Mandy' when they tried to force her to kiss another kong boy, until she later pushed them away. (NO! LET GO OF ME! I already told you I don't want to play this!)
«Mandrew: (Oh, and this one is even worse than that monkey!)
Jemky (JENNY): (Oh, Dixie, please, it's just a game! Almost all of us have already played, you haven't yet! Can't you give a simple kiss? Just imagine that this boy is Diddy… Or don't tell me you don't do it because 'you don't want to be disloyal to your boy'?)
(Yes, that's why! Is there any problem?), Dixie replied.
«Mandrew: (No, no, I can't!), he said while laughing out loud along with the group. (They really are ridiculous).
«Melenky: (They both are ridiculous), he added, intruding into the scene. (The dumb monkey was the same with us).
»»»
(Let's see, girls, I need to ask you a question), Dixie told them calmly, showing a smile. (Have you already seen what time it is?)
Jemky (JENNY): (Huh? And what does time have to do with it?) I don't even know what time it is!
(Well, I don't know the time I asked you for your stupid opinion either!), Dixie exclaimed, earning a few murmurs from the others.
«Jemky: (Ugh, this stupid one!)
«Mandrew: (You know what?! Just pull her hair!)
»»»
«Rocky: (That stupid monkey told us that we make him laugh. They make me laugh rather because they're pathetic and boring to play challenges!), he said as they continued at the event along with some of the herd of kidnapped kong children, but without Diddy and Dixie present. (Anyway, the challenges didn't work on us to make them fight).
«Melenky: (They are complete killjoys for those games).
«Mandrew: (Not even while we were playing, that dumb monkey dared).
«Jemky: (Look, and there's that idiot monkey), he said, looking at Diddy in the distance, who was picking up some candies from the tables. (Hmm…I want to have fun; let's see if this time he dares to be receptive to Jenny).
«Rocky: (Hey, are you going to keep insisting on that monkey? Because all this week you've been hinting at him and you've even tried to manipulate him with favors... and he doesn't seem to be interested in Jenny).
«Jemky: (I know he is, but he acts like he doesn't want to. That's how he was with Dixie), he said before directing 'Jenny' towards Diddy.
»»»
Jemky (JENNY): (Hey, Diddy!), she called him while also taking a few sweets from the table. (I haven't seen you for a while. I thought you had already left).
Diddy just smiled at her a bit, but he didn't speak to her.
Jemky (JENNY): (Hey, why are you so quiet?), she asked, nudging him lightly. (Cute monkey), she whispered winking at him before leaving, but Diddy continued to ignore her.
«Jemky: (Ugh, you know what?! Let's do something with that monkey: I'm going to look for him again, and if he doesn't give in, you guys go, act surprised, and tell everyone so they can tell Dixie and she'll believe it too... And if he does give in, we'll do it anyway, okay?... This time I will make him fall whether he likes it or not, you'll see!)
«Mandrew: (Are we going to make some kind of scandal with those two?... Sounds good!)
«Melenky: (Come on, I'll join too. After all, I want to do something fun here; I'm getting bored).
»»»
Jemky (JENNY): (Oh, Diddy, did you know you're a cute little monkey?), she told him while she had him cornered against a tree. (You know? I've always thought that you-)
(N-no, no, Jenny! Wait!), Diddy interrupted, freeing himself from her. (See, I understand your intentions… but you're just my friend, just like Mandy, Ricky and Melvyn. And also, you have to remember that I have a girlfriend, and it's Dixie… And she's your friend too, and it's not right for you to act like that).
Jemky (JENNY): (Oh, so what?! I'm not jealous).
(And Dixie neither!)
«Jemky: (UGH, DON'T PRETEND, I know he likes Jenny!), he exclaimed as he forcefully cornered him again.
Jemky (JENNY): (You know, Diddy?… I've never thought about stealing. But… what if I steal a kiss from you?)
(Hey, no, what's wrong with you?!), Diddy exclaimed, trying to get free from her.
»»»
«Jemky: (What a rage with this MONKEY! Come, and just act surprised!)
Jemky (JENNY): (You're not leaving here until you kiss me!… Or I'll tell everyone that you're chasing me), she threatened him while she had him trapped.
Rocky (RICKY): (HUH?! But what… does… this mean?!), he exclaimed, arriving with the group and pretending to be shocked.
(No, no, no!), Diddy exclaimed hurriedly, (It's not what you think! Jenny came and then-)
Melenky (MELVYN): (I can't believe this! I never expected it!)
Rocky (RICKY): (Ahh, I see! So you finally decided to comply with the challenge and chose Jenny, right, Diddy?)
Mandrew (MANDY): (Wow, Jenny! I didn't know you liked other girl's boyfriends!)
»»»
Mandrew (MANDY): (Tell everyone that Diddy was cheating on Dixie with Jenny), he whispered to the other kong children, and they immediately spread the word.
Jemky (JENNY): (Yeah, it's true, we kissed, he wanted to kiss me, say it's true!), he added in the same way.
"Urgh, this burnt-annatto-faced!" Diddy grumbled, watching that scene.
(What happened what?!), the children in the crowd asked. (What are you saying?! Diddy was cheating on Dixie with Jenny?)
(What?! Hey, no, that's not true!), Diddy exclaimed.
»»»
«Rocky: (Look, the monkeys want to leave!), he exclaimed, seeing Diddy and Dixie trying to get out from the crowd.
«Jemky: (No! Don't let them go, make them fight!... I know what to say; play along with me).
Jemky (JENNY): (Wait, wait a minute! I have to clarify one thing: it was Diddy who came to me!)
(WHAT?! Hey, don't lie, that wasn't like that!), Diddy replied, returning in front of them along with Dixie.
Jemky (JENNY): (Don't pretend to be crazy, Diddy! You were who insisted on me! You are always who chases me!)
(Hey, what's wrong with you, Jenny?! I didn't even want to find you!)

(Wait a minute, please!), Dixie interrupted firmly. (Take this however you will, but you, Jenny, are the one who is lying!)

«Melenky: (No, no, please, how ridiculous!), he said as they laughed even out loud along with the group.
«Mandrew: (Oh, yeah, look how she believes that stupid monkey!)
«Jemky: (Keep going, we have to make them look bad! Especially that idiotic monkey!)

(Hey, wait a minute!), Diddy exclaimed. (For your information: I have noticed Jenny's intentions and I have always told Dixie about it! So, Dixie is not crazy!)
«Jemky: (Urgh, these IDIOTS make us look bad!)

«Jemky: (Ahhh, I don't know! You know what?! Let's go against those fools right now!)
(HEY! What's wrong with you?!), Dixie exclaimed, pushing 'Jenny' away when she started pulling her hair.
Jemky (JENNY): (Well, you want to fight, right?! So, let's do it!)
(At no moment did I say I wanted to fight you, Jenny!), Dixie stated defending herself.
«Jemky: (Mandrew, come defend Jenny!)
Mandrew (MANDY): (What's wrong with you?! Don't pull Jenny's hair!), she exclaimed, joining the fight.
(But she started!), Dixie replied.
«Mandrew: (Rocky! Melenky! Take charge of that monkey!), he exclaimed when Diddy tried to separate them.
Rocky (RICKY): (Hey, don't mess with Jenny and Mandy, huh!), he headed with 'Melvyn' to confront Diddy.

«Rocky: (URGH, DARN, MY ARM! He almost broke my real arm!)
(Oh, I'm sorry, Ricky!), Diddy exclaimed, alarmed and heading to him after the confrontation. (S-sorry, I didn't want to-)

(We only told you things like they are!), Dixie replied.
(That's true!), added Diddy. (You did not agree to end this discussion and only responded by attacking!)

(WELL, WELL, SO, GOODBYE!), Diddy yelled.

«Rocky: (To those idiot monkeys I really want to kidnap them by force like Jemky said at the beginning!), he exclaimed while they were adjusting Ricky's arm. (Now we have to repair Ricky's stupid arm too!)
«Melenky: (I take back what I said! I still hate them and I'll continue to do so!)
«Mandrew: (I just wait for the day to come when the boat is ready to take that pair of chumps away too... 'And that's why I can believe Diddy'), he added, imitating Dixie's voice.
«Jemky: (And the worst thing is that that monkey agreed with her because he says he tells her all. Who is stupid enough to tell his girlfriend that someone else is hitting on him? Those things shouldn't be told!)
«Rocky: (Although Dixie doesn't look that angry about it… Knowing how she is for a fight, she would have already torn Jenny to pieces long ago).
«Jemky: (I hate them! And that cowardly monkey is another one! It's assumed that if a girl flirts with a boy, they accept her without thinking about it! And even more so if she's a girl like Jenny! How is it possible that he doesn't fall for a girl like Jenny?! Jenny is so pretty).
«Melenky: (Well, that stupid monkey looks very much in love with his girlfriend, I don't even see that he's attracted to at least some of the girls we have kidnapped, and I chose the prettiest ones for him for the challenge when we were playing).
«Mandrew: (Anyway, at least the fight we had with that pair was good. I had never fought like girls).
«Rocky: (Yeah, but those two fools humiliated us anyway).
«Jemky: (Ugh, but why doesn't that monkey fall into? The boys we kidnapped did fall with Jenny! At most they fell into the second attempt to catch them).
»»»"Day 65. The monkeys didn't go to work and we had to go and apologize"
«Mandrew: (Oh, do we really have to do this?), he complained as they were under Mr. Pinky's house.
«Rocky: (If they haven't gone today to continue with the ship, it's because they must have been angry with what happened yesterday, and we can't lose them... Not because we care about them, but because we have to kidnap them).
«Jemky: (Here they come down! Put on repentant faces).
(Hello), Diddy and Dixie greeted them coldly.
(Uhh… hi?), the four replied simultaneously and with forced smiles.
«Mandrew: (So... who speaks first? I'll talk next).
Melenky (MELVYN): (Excuse us!), he pronounced quickly.
Mandrew (MANDY): (Uhh... hey... It's that we wanted to tell you that... we're really... sorry. We haven't seen you all day and... we assumed you were mad at us, so we decided to come and see you and... we wanted to apologize if we gave you a bad time last night).

(And what bothered us the most was all the fuss you made us go through in front of everyone), Dixie commented to them. (We were about to leave and not argue with you in public, but then Jenny came out…)
«Rocky: (Yeah, yeah, yeah, shut up and go back to work, monkeys!), he said as they listened to what Diddy and Dixie told them.
«Jemky: (Anyway, answer them according to what they tell us).
"We would have sent them packing at that moment!" Dixie expressed indignantly when she saw how they had wasted words with that quartet.

Jemky (JENNY): (Well… what could I tell you?… Actually, yes), she said, pretending in a tone and a look of regret. (Since always, since we met you two and I saw him… But I didn't know at first that you two were dating. I'm sorry…)

«Jemky: (I swear I thought she was going to fight with Jenny).
Jemky (JENNY): (Wow, Dixie… you're so kind with me... Oh, I don't deserve a friend like you; you've been so good with me and I just failed you trying to steal your boyfriend and wanting to fight with you. I'm an idiot).
(No, don't say that, Jenny), Dixie replied, (I really forgive you, but as I said: I hope you are also apologizing seriously. And also... I don't want you to feel bad because of us; you're very pretty, and I know that one day you could also find someone who loves you very much... And if you don't find it, you can still be very happy).
Jemky (JENNY): (Oh… I thank you, Dixie. Thank you for understanding me... You're really a good friend, and now I just want us to stay this way... And yes, I promise I won't do that to Diddy anymore, don't worry about me... Can I give you a hug?)
(Okay, Jenny), Dixie replied before hugging her back.

Melenky (MELVYN): (Why don't we all give each other a group hug?), he said excitedly before hugging the six of them.

"What a nerve with those four idiots!" Diddy commented looking at the scene and how those apologies had all been in vain.
»»»"Day 70. Another day"
(Oh, but we have done almost nothing), Dixie said, trying to offer their help for the umpteenth time to the quartet. (What's wrong with you, by the way? Why have you been like this with us these days?)

«Rocky: (I'm tired of being 'friends' with those two. I don't know what else to do with them, I'm already bored).

(Stop it, Jenny! I don't love you that way!), Diddy exclaimed after pushing her away abruptly.

Melenky (MELVYN): (They're not here and I don't think they'll come back until the evening. (In fact, you don't even know what happened to Mandy this morning).
Rocky (RICKY): (She's with allergies. Recently, we went to get food near a lake. She climbed some palm trees to reach some coconuts, but fell into the water. And you know... a bunch of red spots appeared on her skin. So, she went to the medicine ape, and Jenny went to accompany her. And those treatments are so long-lasting).

Rocky (RICKY): (Ah, yes, I think I remember I left it there), he pointed to a path through the trees. (Hey, Diddy, could you go get it, please? It's the other wrench we use, the one that is bigger).
(Are you sure you left it there?), Diddy questioned.
Rocky (RICKY): (Yes, while we were adjusting some masts, I dropped it there. Go, it's not that far; just search in that area. Meanwhile, here we'll continue adjusting the other screws).

"I was already saying: how did they synchronize perfectly?" Diddy commented, looking at that scene, all indignant.
«Melenky: (We already are arriving!)
«Jemky: (Here we go! You won't be saved from this, little monkey), he said with an evil laugh as he threw the wrench near one of the trees. (This time I won't make Jenny stand in front of him, but rather HE will be in front of her so that Dixie will believe this time that her boyfriend is the one who kissed Jenny and so she'll break up with him once and for all!)
«Rocky: (He already took the wrench! Now!)
That scene was shown, where 'Jenny' hit Diddy on the head and then stole a kiss from him, and in which Dixie appeared to see that image.
Diddy, while watching that scene on the screen, just wanted to leave the room to find the four of them at that very moment and beat them up.
(B-but what?!), Diddy exclaimed, looking alarmed, before immediately pushing 'Jenny' away.
(DIDDY?!), exclaimed Dixie, who had been made to arrive at the right time.
(B-but how-?!)
Jemky (JENNY): (What? You said let's kiss, didn't you, Diddy?)
»»»
(Hey, NO! What's wrong with you, Jenny?! What did you do?! You really don't understand anything?!)
Jemky (JENNY): (Oh, I'm sorry!), she replied with a sarcastic smile.
(What happened here?!), exclaimed one of the kidnapped kong children, arriving with the rest to look around.
«Mandrew: (Hey, it seems that this time it worked for us), he commented as they watched Diddy leave the crowd.
«Jemky: (I told you it would work no matter what!), he added in a tone of excitement. (Tomorrow when they come, we'll see if they broke up or not).
"Urgh, darn them!" Diddy grumbled, looking at the scene.
»»»"Day 72. The monkeys didn't break up"
«Rocky: (Does the ship still need more adjustments?)
«Mandrew: (Yes, but that's practically ready, now let's have some fun with all these kids. Aren't you tired now?)
«Melenky: (Here comes Diddy!... And apparently, he doesn't come with Dixie), he said as they saw Diddy arrive.
»»»
Rocky (RICKY): (Yeah, so today is for celebration!), he said before giving Diddy a little push. (Come on, stay with us today! By the way… where's Dixie? Ah, don't tell me that-).
(She didn't come), Diddy interrupted, suppressing his urge to yell at them.
Melenky (MELVYN): (Oh… because of yesterday's event, right? Are you two on bad terms or something?)
(It's none of your business!), Diddy exclaimed, raising his voice a little.
Rocky (RICKY): (Hey! Calm down, buddy!), he replied with a laugh. (You'll fix it, and if not, you know… there are many girls in the world).
«Jemky: (So... did we get them to break up?), he asked in an excited tone.
«Mandrew: (Apparently, yes…)
»»»
(Urgh! It's all your fault, Jenny!), Diddy said, raising his voice. (You don't care about Dixie, you don't understand anything, you chase me every chance you can, and with what you did yesterday you crossed the line, seriously! And not only you. Ricky, Melvyn and Mandy are also planning everything, you all want to separate Dixie and me! You are fakes-)
Jemky (JENNY): (Hey, calm down! It was a single kiss, are you going to tell me you didn't like it?)
(Urgh, Jenny! You just treat me as if I were a toy; you think you have the right to do whatever you want with me, but no-)
Jemky (JENNY): (Hey, hey, wait a minute! Look, Diddy, I have only one thing to tell you: you're going to meet a lot of girls better than Dixie someday. So, it's absurd that you're just fallen for one girl and-)
(Wait, Jenny! I also have something to tell you before you repeat the same thing to me as Ricky and Melvyn: Get your own boyfriend first!)
«Jemky: (Ugh, this monkey always has something to answer!), he exclaimed after giving him a couple of slaps through 'Jenny'.
»»»
«Rocky: (Melenky, that monkey is not going to dare that challenge, much less with what happened last night).
(Okay, I accept the challenge!), Diddy announced, smiling firmly.
«Rocky: (W-what did he say?!)
Rocky (RICKY): (Are you serious, Diddy?)
(Well, yes), Diddy replied, looking determined.
«Mandrew: (This has to be a joke, that's not Diddy).
Melenky (MELVYN): (Well… if you say so), he said, smiling. (Now choose which of the girls you'll kiss).
(Jenny!), he pointed at her, earning yells of curiosity from the rest of the children.
«Rocky: (WHAT?!)
«Mandrew: (Did he just say Jenny?!)
«Jemky: (Wait, wait, wait!... So, it means we got them to break up?!)
Mandrew (MANDY): (Are you okay, Diddy?)
Jemky (JENNY): (Do you really plan to do it, Diddy? I haven't told you anything now).
(Yes, Jenny, isn't that what you wanted from me?), Diddy replied. (Now come here).
«Jemky: (We did it…), he said sounding surprised, before speaking with excitement. (WE DID IT! So those two dumb dwarves finally broke up!)
(Well, Jenny, now close your eyes), Diddy told her in a mischievous tone in front of 'Jenny'.
Jemky (JENNY): (Okay), she replied with a shrug and a smile.
And it was at that moment that Diddy grabbed his cup of the fruit juice and poured it on Jenny's face. There was even a distortion effect on the image on her screen.
Jemky (JENNY): (URGH, STUPID MONKEY!), he shouted this time loudly and without pretense.
«Rocky: (THIS SCOUNDREL!)
Rocky (RICKY): (HEY, YOU HAVE TO RESPECT JENNY!), he exclaimed as Diddy ran out.
Melenky (MELVYN): (COME BACK HERE!)
«Jemky: (THIS MONKEY FACED- AHHH, DARN-)
Apparently, because the fruit juice was a liquid, it caused some damage to Jenny's mechanism, even causing flashes of distortion and even audio glitches to appear on that subscreen.
»»»
«Jemky: (You're going to pay me, Diddy... YOU'RE GOING TO PAY ME, YOU DARN STUPID MONKEY!), he grumbled while the other three kids were making some adjustments and repairs to 'Jenny'.
«Mandrew: (I was already saying how that cowardly monkey had accepted that challenge! And he got away with it!)
«Rocky: (It seems that it's ready), he said before the image on Jenny's subscreen returned to normal. (Can you see through your screen again, Jemky?)
«Jemky: (Yes, it's okay… And luckily it was fixed).
«Melenky: (Hey, I don't know about you, but I think that pair didn't break up).
«Jemky: (Darn, stupid monkeys... Or maybe they did break up but that chump monkey is still pretending not to want Jenny).
«Mandrew: (What if we go spy on them or something? I'm dying of curiosity).
»»»
«Rocky: (Hmm, no… looks like they didn't break up), he said while they spied on the moment when Diddy and Dixie were fixing things between the two of them.
(No, no, you don't have to apologize for that, Diddy… It really wasn't your fault, it's not), Dixie could be heard saying in the distance. (I know it was Jenny, she did it. And it's just Jenny... I came to consider her a lot, as a good friend... But I don't think I'll see her like that anymore…)
"What?! Were they spying on us at that time?!" Dixie exclaimed, looking at the scene with indignation.
(Oh, Dixie... I think I understand how you feel anyways), Diddy could be heard saying. (I've felt that way too, you know, because of… Jemky…)
«Jemky: (And in what matter is that monkey mentioning me?)
»»»
(What are you saying?), Diddy asked Dixie. (I don't understand, what are you talking about?)
(It's that... the time you invited me to the waterfalls... I had made a stupid deal with Jemky... to pretend that we were dating and so you would be encouraged to confess to me).
«Jemky: (W-what did she say?)
»»»
(Then I felt very bad for having accepted that, and I could notice the next night that you looked discouraged because of me, and that's why I told you that the next day we could go to the waterfalls again. That time, I even was going to confess to you that I liked you… But everything turned out worse).
«Jemky: (But just listen to what she's telling him... just now).
«Melenky: (Ha! If they knew that we're here listening to everything).
»»»
(That day was terrible, I just got home, greeted them all there and locked myself in my room. I didn't sleep at all that night, I only had in my mind the vivid image of Jemky after I shot him… just like in my nightmares I've had about him).
«Jemky: (Ahhh, thanks for reminding me, stupid! If I almost fell asleep forever for I don't know how many times).
»»»
(I wish I had stayed like this with you on DK Island), Diddy said while hugging Dixie. (I can't wait for the day when we can return and.… fix everything for real).
(So do I… There isn't a day that I don't think about DK Island…)
«Jemky: (Urgh, blast! Those two DIDN'T BREAK UP! I hate them, I HATE THEM! So even because the monkey kissed Jenny, that chimp girl didn't break up with him?! So, if that idiot monkey really cheats on her, she's still going to believe him that it's not true?!)
«Rocky: (To heck with it all! That pair of ridiculous little monkeys in love doesn't even break up with any witchcraft!)
«Mandrew: (Maybe they'll break up someday! Somehow it'll happen!
«Jemky: (No way! We have to think of a new plan to make them break up!)
«Melenky: (Hey, can you guys be quiet for a while?! I didn't hear what they said just now).
(… about we tell them we won't go with them?), Dixie had said that they would no longer go on that ship, but the quartet didn't hear them.
»»»"Day 73. The friendship with that pair ended"
«Jemky: (If with this they don't break up, it means they really are a couple of stupid lovers), he said while making a declaration of love poster on a banana leaf, in his last attempt to make Diddy and Dixie break up.
«Melenky: (Wait, wait! Here comes Dixie), he said on the other hand as they saw Dixie approaching.
«Mandrew: (Oh, no, that wasn't the plan, we were supposed to go see her and tell her that Diddy is with Jenny).
»»»
(By the way), Dixie told them. (Now I'm going to have a date with Diddy. He told me he had a surprise prepared for me, so I came to ask you if… could you accompany me? Oh, and that I'll also take your old friends).
«Mandrew: (One moment! What did she say?... B-but that's exactly what we had planned).
»»»
(Hi, Jenny!), Diddy exclaimed on the other hand.
«Jemky: (And what is this monkey doing here too?!
Jemky (JENNY): (Diddy! W-what are you doing around here?), she asked with confusion.
(I was just passing by), he replied before snatching the ropes she was carrying. (Hey, what are these for? Are you… maybe thinking of kidnapping someone?)
Jemky (JENNY): (W-what?! What are you talking about?), 'she' asked, trying to take the ropes from Diddy, but Diddy wouldn't let her.
«Jemky: (But how did he guess?!)
»»»
(Oh, yes, of course I love her. But... I was thinking and... I feel like I love you too, Jenny, even much more than Dixie. You're really cute. So… why don't we give ourselves a chance? And let neither Dixie nor anyone else know).
«Jemky: (He might be kidding... Or has he already changed his mind?)
Jemky (JENNY): (Are you really saying that, Diddy?... Well, if you say so... you know I don't have any problems), she added, getting closer to Diddy. (You know how long I've waited for you).
(Uhh, yeah, yeah, of course I'm serious, Jenny), Diddy replied with a forced smile and trying to move away.
Jemky (JENNY): (Okay, Diddy. So… how about we kiss now?)
(Wait, wait! Not yet!), Diddy said, immediately moving away from her. (It's just... We can't kiss if you and I are still nothing).
»»»
«Jemky: (One moment, one moment! How did he know about the stupid poster?!)
(Jenny…), Diddy uttered while holding that poster and heading towards 'Jenny'. (I wanted to ask you to… be my-)
(DIDDY! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?!), Dixie exclaimed when she arrived.
(Uhh… no, no, no, Dixie, this is not what it seems!), Diddy exclaimed, pretending to be alarmed and immediately standing up.
«Melenky: (Looks like it worked! IT WORKED!)
(Could you explain this to me, DIDDY?!), Dixie exclaimed, pretending to be furious.
(No, no, it's not what you think, Dixie! See… I was just-)
»»»
«Rocky: (Looks like it finally worked for us!), he said excitedly as they watched Diddy and Dixie arguing.
«Jemky: (GOOD! Finally, we did it, we did it!... I'll need to watch this moment again and again when we get the video cassettes ready!)
(No, I was just rehearsing with her to tell you later!), Diddy exclaimed.
(I don't want your excuses, Diddy! Y-you said you only loved me! This is over, YOU ARE A FAKE ONE!)
«Mandrew: (This is better than a TV show!), he said while laughing.
(But… do you know who the fake ones really are?), Diddy said, smiling confidently.
(Them!), exclaimed Diddy and Dixie, pointing to the quartet.
(What?!), the four exclaimed, looking at them confused at all.
«Rocky: (SAY WHAT?!)
(Yes, you! You are fake ones!), Diddy exclaimed. (You who claim to be our 'friends'!)
(Ha! You fell into it!), Dixie added. (Did you think we didn't know anything about what you all planned to do to us now?! So, take that!)
«Jemky: (No, no, no, DARN! Act clueless!)
Rocky (RICKY): (Hey, wait, wait, what are you two talking about?! We had no plan against you!)
(Don't pretend!), Diddy replied. (We ourselves heard you all yesterday talking about us and this plan you wanted to make to try to separate us again!)
«Jemky: (NO, darn it! How did they hear us?!)
»»»
(Not at all! It's all true!), Diddy exclaimed, pointing to them. (The four of you wanted to take us for fools! Starting with Jenny!)
Jemky (JENNY): (Well, but anyway, you recently said you loved me and would give me a chance. And that Dixie wouldn't find out).
(I told him to tell you that, Jenny), Dixie replied in a mocking tone. (It was part of our plan to ruin yours, with which you wanted to separate us again!)
«Jemky: (OH, DARN! They always get away with it!)
«Mandrew: (But how the heck did they hear us?! They're saying exactly the same thing we said about them!)
»»»
(Well, at least we had never spoken ill of you!), replied Dixie. (Wow! Are you that way with your old friends too?)
Jemky (JENNY): (URGH, SHUT UP! I don't know what you're talking about! But we haven't spoken ill of you either! YOU ARE CRAZY!)
Rocky (RICKY): (You know what?! We better finish this discussion!), he said, heading with the group towards Diddy and Dixie. (So, do you want to fight with us?! Because that's what I'm understanding!)
(Oops, stay still!), Diddy replied mockingly, walking away with Dixie from them. (We never told you we were going to fight, just to tell you your truths).
(CATCH THEM!), the four exclaimed, trying to pounce on the two, but they dodged them and ran away.
»»»
«Mandrew: (Do we really have to do this again?), he complained as they headed to Mr. Pinky's house to apologize again.
«Rocky: (Hey... it's not that we care about them, but I think we've crossed the line a bit and they must already be quite disappointed in us, even more so now that they found us out talking about them like that... and we can't lose them if we also want to kidnap them to our dads' experiment).
«Jemky: (I still believe in forcibly kidnapping them and that's it).
«Rocky: (No! You know they can defend themselves, and these four mechanized kids are quite fragile to blows. What's more, you're lucky that Dixie didn't want to beat Jenny up because you made her kiss her boyfriend).
»»»
Rocky (RICKY): (U-uh… Hey, no! What are you saying?... We didn't have the intention of no longer being friends with the two of you... We just wanted to apologize, that's all).
Mandrew (MANDY): (Please, we don't want to hate you. I know we did wrong, we were fools, but we didn't want you to take it that way either).
(Oh, come on), Diddy replied. (Don't you realize that all along you've wanted Dixie and me to fight? Aren't you going to tell me that you speak ill of us to all your old friends?)
(And I'm not saying we're going to hate each other), Dixie continued, (that sounds like fighting, and it's not that I want that either. Simply... we won't hang around with you as before. And well… I hope you'll do well… That's all we have to tell you).
«Rocky: (Don't let them go, darn it! BEG THEM OR SOMETHING! Make sad faces!)
»»»
Melenky (MELVYN): (Hey, no!), he exclaimed, stopping them along with the other three kids as they continued to beg for forgiveness. (Please don't leave. We'll be better with you, we promise).
Mandrew (MANDY): (Don't leave us, you're our friends!... And we made the ship for you).
Jemky (JENNY): (Dixie... Do you want to talk?), she asked Dixie, holding her arm, but she only ignored her.
Rocky (RICKY): (Please forgive us!)
(Hey, please, enough is enough), Diddy replied, calming them down. (Please understand that it's not. With everything you did, this has no fix).
»»»
«Jemky: (Let's just catch them by force!), he replied as they walked away from the house and looked at Diddy and Dixie from afar, after failing with their apologies.
«Melenky: (I think the same, otherwise we lose them!)
«Rocky: (No! They'll come out hitting us and then the entire mission will have failed).
«Mandrew: (Or if you want, Jemky and I will go; we're controlling the girls; they won't attack Jenny and Mandy).
«Rocky: (But Dixie is a girl too, at least she will do it!), he replied when they were further from the house and stopped between the trees. (Urgh, anyway! You know what? When our dads return, we'll tell them to take over those two; they're bigger and stronger, and they'll even kidnap them at gunpoint; that pair won't be saved from that).
«Jemky: (Are you crazy?! I don't think our dads want to kidnap some specific monkeys when we already have forty more ones kidnapped).
«Rocky: (Well, we let them lose then!)
«Melenky: (No, not like that either! There still have to be alternatives to catch them…)
«Rocky: (Or I would say that we make them break up so that they would be easier to kidnap, but that is no longer possible even with witchcraft).
»»»
«Rocky: (Hey, why do you want to keep spying on those two fools? Come on, we can't leave that whole herd of children alone), he said as they were now spied on near the post office on Hurricane Island.
«Mandrew: (Oh, we just want to see what they do! Just relax!)
«Melenky: (And what is that pair doing at the post office?)
(Are you sure about that, Dixie?), Diddy was heard telling Dixie. (What if they don't arrive on DK Island?)
(But we won't lose anything by trying. Come on, you can write to Donkey. I'll write to Tiny, Kiddy and Chunky).
(Well… Maybe I can. Did you bring the sheets?)
«Jemky: (They just want to send letters to their herd on DK Island, that's all).
»»»
(Well, little monkeys. In a couple of hours, the swordfish will come and we'll give them your letters), the apes at the post office said, after sealing the letters. (But you know, the letters could arrive as well as they may not).
«Rocky: (Hmm, as if they were really going to return to their island), he commented in a mocking tone as they spied on them behind the trees.
«Jemky: (And they'll really return to DK Island if we don't do anything!)
«Rocky: (I already said that we can't take that risk of forcibly catching them! But we'll tell our dads to do it!)
»»»"Day 74. The day of their stupid date"
«Mandrew: (These can serve us, at least to reinforce that broken mast), he said while they were collecting some vines, before focusing on 'Ricky'. (And all because SOMEONE thought to get it readjusted with one of the clumsiest kids we have in the herd).
«Rocky: (Huh, but I remind you that yesterday you decided to continue spying on that pair of pathetic monkeys and we left these kidnapped kids alone to get into problems!)
«Melenky: (Hey, hey, hey! Hide, it's Dixie!)
«Rocky: (What?!), he exclaimed before turning and realizing that Dixie was nearby. (Oh, it's true!)
The quartet immediately hid behind the bushes while they saw Dixie wandering around the place where they were: she was carrying a wooden painting in her hands while she was collecting some fallen colored leaves that were on the ground and then placing them in that painting.
«Mandrew: (And now what is she doing?), he said, trying to look at what she was doing on the painting.
«Melenky: (Ah, it seems like it's just a little figure with colored leaves... and some branches... and some stones... that are shaped like trees... and some hearts? Oh, and those stones are shaped like her and that monkey... Is that a gift she's making to him?
«Jemky: (Is seriously?! Let's see!), he said, also hurrying to see what Dixie was doing. (And she also gives gifts to that stupid monkey?)
«Mandrew: (I think they must be planning something... What if we follow them? Come on, let's go!)
«Rocky: (Hey, are you serious?! It's fun to annoy those monkeys, but I'm not interested in their lives to always spy on them!)
«Melenky: (Don't be boring, Rocky, come on!)
»»»
"Ugh, do they esteem us so much as for spying on us all time?!" Dixie exclaimed, rolling her eyes as she looked at the scene that showed the last date she had with Diddy.
«Rocky: (Definitely… those two are indestructible).
«Mandrew: (Hey, those two might not even break their relationship with spells).
(Really, Diddy, you always manage to make me smile on these things), Dixie told Diddy under the willow tree.
(And I'm always glad when you smile), Diddy replied, taking her hair subtly.
«Jemky: (I hate you... blasted monkeys... I hate you), he muttered as if he were about to explode in fury.
»»»
(Dix… I wanted to tell you that… I really thank you for all the good times we've had… And about the not-so-good times, I'm also glad we were able to fix them).
(Oh, Diddy… I thank you too… and I want us to stay together when we go back to DK Island… And I want us to be forever. You don't know how happy you've made me).
«Melenky: (Yeah, yeah, the things you say when you're in love), he said in a mocking tone.
«Mandrew: (You also talked that way to your ex-girlfriend... and she left you for three other ones at the same time), he added before laughing.
«Melenky: (Shut up! Don't make me remind you that yours cheated on you with someone uglier than you).
«Mandrew: (Urgh, worm-faced!), he replied while Melenky was now laughing. Then he focused back the camera on Diddy and Dixie. (Oh, look, those two are already smooching again... Huh? Hey, Jemky... are you cry-)
«Jemky: (No, of course not!), he replied with a brittle voice and as if he wanted to explode with fury.
«Rocky: (Hey, brother, calm down... Someday those two are going to break up and you'll have a chance with Dixie again... Oh, wait, right, we're going to kidnap them for our dads' experiment and-)
«Jemky: (AAAHHH, how I hate those two DARN MONKEYS!), he exclaimed so loudly that even the audio of the video recording sounded grating. (I wish… I HOPE that couple of pathetic monkeys BREAK UP TOMORROW!)
«Rocky: (Hey, but anyway, we're also going to take them to our dads for the mechanization experiment, and then-)
«Jemky: (NO, because I wasn't going to allow them to do that to Dixie! I was even thinking about rescuing her and freeing her from them so that she would love me! But if she loves that dumb monkey, then I hope those two die AND GET THEIR CORPSES MECHANIZED! I HATE THEM! DARN COUPLE OF RIDICULOUS MONKEYS! Why is that stupid chimp fascinated by that TRIPLE-HEADED DWARF DUMB MONKE-)
«Melenky: (Hey, hey, hey, Dixie is not the only girl in the world; you can get any girl you want, have you already forgotten all your girlfriends you had?... Even if they have all broken up with you).
«Jemky: (Don't remind me of that!... Urgh, but I swear, I SWEAR that I myself will take over doing that procedure ON THOSE TWO STUPID MONKEYS!)
«Mandrew: (Jemky, you're already exaggerating; our dads are not going to teach us to mechanize yet; we don't even know what the process is like... Hey, but don't cry, it was obvious that Dixie would end up being with that dumb monkey Didd-)
«Jemky: (I'm not crying!), he replied as he could be heard inhaling sharply as he finished speaking. (Oh, no, no, no! This can't stay like this, there must still be a way to make them break up!)
«Melenky: (To make them break up? Hmm, even witchcraft wouldn't work on those two... nor with Jenny, nor making the monkey kiss with Jenny, nor even with traps, and I even think that if we set cheating tricks for Diddy to make him break up with Dixie... it wouldn't work either).
«Jemky: (Wait!), he said, changing his tone. (Did you just say... Hmm... Maybe, maybe).
«Rocky: (Hey, you don't want to try something new with those two, do you?)
«Jemky: (Hmm, I don't know... Or maybe... there is still an alternative…)
»»»
«Rocky: (No, no, no! No way! I don't participate in something like that, Jemky), he said as they were back with the herd of kidnapped kong children.
«Mandrew: (Me neither! We're not going to expose ourselves that way; Someone can discover us).
«Jemky: (Nothing will happen; we'll do that and leave immediately so those two don't catch us).
«Rocky: (But our dads could find out and they'll give us the beating of our lives!... Besides, I bet you that won't work either; the relationship of that pair is unbreakable.
«Jemky: (Are you sure? Well, see: Dixie JUST told Diddy yesterday about the deal I made for her to make him jealous that time. She mentioned that we asked for his pyramid and about the time she shot me... They even think I'm dead. What's more, we know a lot of information about them in recent months; if we mention any of that information to them... Diddy will have too difficult believing it's a lie; he even told Dixie that it bothers him that she couldn't tell him things right before: we can make her look like a liar!)
«Mandrew: (And will that monkey believe a fake letter? I mean... he might know Dixie's handwriting perfectly).
«Jemky: (Don't worry about that... I still have the pyramid instructions that she wrote for me; I can forge her handwriting easily… We can even steal that stamp at that post office for a while so it looks like a real letter, and even one of those maps. Anyway, it's not the first time I've made a fake letter to break up a couple of fools in love).
"That stupid orangutan," Diddy muttered, so furious, listening to the video recording, at the same time remembering what happened.
«Melenky: (Hey!), he exclaimed, apparently reaching the room, since a door was heard closing in the background. Our dads called; they say they're coming here to leave some devices and materials for the mechanization of those children. Oh, and they want us to let them see that we've caught all kids and that the ship is ready.
«Rocky: (The children are all captured. The ship just needs a few adjustments and that's it).
»»»
«(Hmm, it looks like everything is in order), a deep voice was heard later, which clearly belonged to one of the evil adult apes. (I congratulate you; I see that you have done a good job. I'm surprised by you).
«(I think you deserve a prize, kids), another ape voice added, this time sounding quite proud.
«Jemky: (A prize like some guns for us?), he mentioned to them with excitement. (Or take us hunting too?)
«(Maybe... But we'll talk about that when we finish this whole mission).
«(And well, we still have to leave, we'll return next week and there we'll start with the procedures on those children. Take care of you and take care of those children you captured… And beware… BEWARE about touching any of the new devices we brought to our laboratory!)

«Rocky: (Oh, no, no, not that, Jemky! Besides, that would mean going to pick these four mechanical monkeys on that island to extract their recording reels, and you know we can't expose them to getting wet along the way in case water splashes on them).
«Jemky: (Relax! Nothing will happen; we can assemble some boxes and bring them here. We'll use our dads' jet ski to transport us faster).
«Rocky: (And I repeat again that it is better NOT to mess with our dads' devices and vehicles, or else things will go very badly for us. And much less with that electric scalpel they brought! You have gone crazy if you are planning to use it!)
«Jemky: (Come on! And what could happen with that scalpel? It'll only be to cut out paper; it cuts too precisely... Also, think that they're PHOTOS; with some photos we'll destroy the relationship of those two no matter what, even if that dumb Dixie begs that idiot monkey to believe her word. I can even tell them that we took those pictures with the camera we took to Mr. Pinky's extra classes).
"Oh, no! This stupid rotten annatto-hair!" Dixie grumbled as she listened to Jemky.
«Melenky: (Hey, sounds fun. If you want, I'll accompany you to Hurricane Island, Jemky; I want to see that live).
«Mandrew: (Hey, not to be a killjoy and I think I now agree with Rocky, but those two are indestructible; they're not going to believe something like that).
«Jemky: (With evidence, I don't think their indestructibility will last, you'll see. We can extract photos from the video recordings; our dads said that these mechanical monkeys can take photos. And then we can manipulate them).
«Rocky: (Well, are you also realizing that we can't leave all these kidnapped children alone either, Jemky?
«Jemky: (If you don't want to go, then you'll stay and take care of them, Rocky... Well, so, you'll accompany me, Melenky).
«Melenky: (I'll drive the jet ski, okay?!)
"I need to see how they did all that!" said Dixie, very angry, taking out that cassette and trying the next one...
