Chapter 9
Froggie
We finally stopped right by the Silver river and we parked the Horses. I was glad that we could finally get off because my butt hurt SO MUCH, and we were so close to getting Cheyenne's Magic back!
We got right off the horse and walked towards the Silver River. We could barely see Toren now, but maybe we could catch up to him and we would get a speedboat or something or other.
All around us, there were so many colorful small shops, with vendors advertising things like,
"Phoenix dust!"
"Unicorn Hair!"
"Dragon Scales!"
"Ooh!" Cheyenne said. "I would love to buy all this, if only I still had my magic! But... now my permit is probably expired, so I can't get anything cool nowadays."
"If you still had your magic, we would not even be here." Said Mochii pointedly. I had to agree with her, though. Cheyenne nodded sadly.
"Let's go!" I said, and we raced to the river. At least, me and Mochii did. People stared at us like we were so weird, and why though? We were normal, people! Get it right!
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait!" yelled Cheyenne grumpily. "I'm going to go get someone to drive our boat."
"Can't we?" I asked. "Nope!" said Morgan. "You have to get a Shipmaster to do it. They're the only people who can drive boats, but they can't do anything else as a job. If we did it, then we would drown!"
"Sounds terrible," Mochii said, glaring. I nodded.
"I'll be back!" Cheyenne said, and walked away into the crowd. Meanwhile, Mochii was staring at the river with an expression of longing on her face. It was sad, to be honest.
The river water was so clear that you could see the pebbles on the bottom. They were sooth and shining. The water looked so nice, and cooling! I just wanted to go for a swim!
Mochii was thinking way ahead of me. We slowly waded into the water and sighed contentedly. She looked so happy, though! She really did. Just then-
"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAA!" Mochii screamed. She fell right into the water! There must have been a gigantic drop in the ground there.
"Mochii!" I cried in panic. Morgan and Sam (Who had been watching a one-man band play country on his acoustic guitar in admiration) ran right over to us.
"What's going on?" Morgan gasped. She noticed Mochii flailing in the water and suddenly gasped. The water kind of rose, and Mochii fell straight out of the water at out feet. People started clapping, and I realized that there was a crowd around us.
"Good job, Sam!!" I said cheerfully.
"Mochii, what happened?" I asked.
"I can't swim!" Mochii moaned in tragedy. "Happy now?"
"Nope!" I said, and noticed that Cheyenne wasn't back yet.
"Let's get something to drink," said Sam and we walked over to the nearest stand, selling cheap drinks.
"I'll have the lemon margarita, Morgan will have the lemonade, Mochii will have half-and-half- iced tea, and Froggy will have..."
"Fly flavored water!" I said.
"Ew!" groaned Morgan. We were just about to sit down in the sun and have our drinks, when Cheyenne walked right up to us.
"I got some people to pilot a boat," she said. "Hurry up, people! We don't have all day!"
