Lockjaw and Saria had slept under the leaf through the night. When they awakened, they saw that the rain had stopped, yet everything was still covered in raindrops.
“Well, I’m glad the rain’s stopped,” said Lockjaw. “Well, let’s go find the others.” Lockjaw and Saria then left the spot under the large leaf and were about to venture off into the jungle when the Creeping Chrysanthemum called out to them.
“Where are you two going?” it asked.
“We’re going to go find my friends,” said Lockjaw.
“Well, it’s still dangerous out here, so… I’ll go with you,” said the Creeping Chrysanthemum, rising out of the ground. It then traveled with them as they went off to look for Lockjaw’s friends.
Gallon, Amp, and Divebomb were still wandering lost through the jungle. They had traveled through the night, only stopping occasionally when the rain would flare up.
“We’ve been walking around forever!” said Gallon. “This is getting hopeless! Has anyone seen a way to get back up to the waterfall?”
“I’m tired, Mr. Gallon… I don’t wanna walk anymore,” said Amp, rolling onto her side.
“C’mon, Amp, we have to keep going… We can’t give up!” said Divebomb. “We’ll be lost in this jungle forever if we do!”
“Where’s Mr. Lockjaw?” said Amp. “He always told us which way to go…”
“I don’t know…” said Gallon. “I just hope he’s not dead…” Gallon then heard some rustling coming from the bushes nearby.
“Did you guys hear that?” asked Gallon. “Someone’s in the bushes!”
“Oh, no… more trouble…” said Divebomb. He, Gallon, and Amp faced the rustling bushes, anxious of what was going to emerge from them.
After a few tense moments, three creatures finally emerged from the bushes. Gallon instantly recognized two of them.
“Lockjaw! You’re okay!” said Gallon. “And you found Saria after all!”
“Yeah, we slept under a leaf out of the rain for the night,” said Lockjaw.
“Yes, and I… have something to say…” said Saria. “I’m sorry if I was a burden to you all… please forgive me…”
“That’s fine…” said Divebomb. “We’re the ones who should be sorry… I mean... about all that stuff we said yesterday…”
“Yeah, we didn’t mean it…” said Gallon. “We were just under some pressure.”
“We were the real bad ones…” said Amp. “Sorry, Miss Princess…”
“Well, it seems like we’re all friends again, so how about going to that Candypop Circle?” suggested Lockjaw. Everyone agreed, and just as they were about to take off, Gallon noticed the large, imposing Creeping Chrysanthemum standing behind the group.
“Ahh! Who are you?! What do you want from us?!” shouted Gallon, startled.
“I’m your guide through this jungle,” said the Creeping Chrysanthemum. “I will lead you to the Candypop Circle.”
“We’ve tried and tried, but we can’t find a way to get to the top of the waterfall,” said Divebomb.
“There is another way,” said the Creeping Chrysanthemum. “Follow me.” Lockjaw and his friends then began to follow the Creeping Chrysanthemum through the jungle. It had led them to a cavern covered by shrubbery. It pushed the shrubbery away and led them through the cavernous tunnel. At the end of the tunnel, it had announced that they had arrived.
“Well, this is it. You guys take care,” it said, walking away.
“Wait… this is it?” said Gallon in disbelief.
“No… it can’t be!” Saria said, shocked. “What's happened to this place?!”
