Lost in the Middle of Nowhere: Part Four

by Littlejoy

Boredom

So we slept again, with all three of us under my leather jacket (Popcorn and Miaa cuddled together while I hugged them). When we woke up, we shared Neowaiian Bread and to our luck, Miaa had some Faerie Pancake with her! So we ate that too. Later, we went to explore the forest (which was full of bogs) and found an ErgyFruit tree! I honestly think that I'm very lucky. We picked a clump of it that contained 10 ErgyFruits, and as we walked through the whole island, we mapped it on a huge leaf we found and wrote on with a stick. "We'll do that in case we're living here for a long time." I explained as I drew the map.

"Okay..." Miaa agreed, "but remember to map the ErgyFruit Tree so we'll be able to pick from it again." So I did. We ate the ErgyFruit for lunch, for dinner, and for breakfast for 2 more days, and got sick of it.

"UGH!" I complained, and Popcorn whimpered, "When will your owner find us?" I asked Miaa.

Miaa seemed irritated too, so she yelled, "How should I know?! I'm not a fortuneteller!" So we stayed quiet while being bored.

Hours after, I realised that it was already a week now. "Miaa, we've been here a week, you came here after we were here for three days."

"Whew! At least you two didn't suffer that much! Now, you know Shoyru blast right? So light a fire so we could have a smoke signal. My owner will surely be able to locate us!" Miaa said.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" I asked.

"BECAUSE, when I was thinking about it, you were complaining, and I forgot what I was thinking about!" she explained.

"Oh," came my foolish answer. While I lit the fire for the smoke, Miaa and Popcorn went to search for some sticks to make it burn more. When they came back, Miaa yelled.

"Look what we found!" and Popcorn yipped. They held up a Zeenana. So we shared it even though it wasn't dinner yet. As the dark came, there was still no sign of Miaa's owner.

"She isn't here yet," I sighed.

"I know..." Miaa frowned as Popcorn whined.

"Let's keep it on and we'll make it bigger tomorrow. All right?"

"Okay!" Miaa agreed. So we slept for the night, and it rained.

I woke up at 3:00 A.M. while Miaa and Popcorn were still sleeping. The rain was pounding like a hammer was nailing down a nail. It reminded me of my NeoHome back in Mystery Island, and when the workers were building it. I got up and lit the fire again.
