OHHH MY GOSH..I AM SO SORRY FOR MAKING YOU GUYS WAIT!! I FEEL HORRIBLE!!!

I SWEAR IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN AHHHH!!

After walking around the whole park, Snazzy still couldn't find Xahji.

"Alright, I checked everywhere. Where could she be?" Snazzy asked the other two.

"Hmmmm...did she take her phone with her? Did you try calling her?" Swifty asked.

"...About a dozen times...!" Snazzy blushed a light green, because he realized that he was really worried for Xahji, and he tried calling her a bunch of times.

"Huh..that's really odd," Colonna got up and stretched, "I'm pretty sure she's around her somewhere. Like- where could she have gone?"

"I don't know, but I'm getting a bad feeling ab-" The vibration of Snazzy's phone suddenly startled him. He looked at his phone.

" ' Sorry, but something came up. I had to leave.. ' "

Snazzy read the message aloud and facepalmed, turning around to the others.

"We're just overreacting guys. Something came up and she had to go." He explained.

"But there's something I don't get," Colonna put her hands on her hips, " why didn't Xahji just come to us and tell us personally? I mean- she would have..right?"

Snazzy and Swifty looked at eachother.

"That is true..." Swifty had agreed with Colonna. She usually did tell them where she was going.

"Maybe it was a family emergency.." Snazzy concluded. He didn't want to jump to anymore conclusions.

"Maybe you're right. C'mon, let's get going." Snazzy put his phone in his pocket and sighed.

"Maybe we can text her later..." Swifty suggested.

"Enough with the MAYBE!" Colonna shouted. She was tired of hearing the word maybe over and over and over.

Snazzy was about to head to bed. He was tired from today, and he already messaged Xahji an hour prior.

He was in the bathroom brushing his teeth.

"Um...Snazzy..." Swifty called from the hallway.

Snazzy turned to the doorway of the bathroom, " Hm?"

"Your phone keeps ringing. I think Xahji is trying to call..!"

Snazzy froze and quickly spat out his toothpaste. He put his toothbrush back into their little toothbrush cup and rushed to his room. There, he found a loud-ringing phone.

He flipped the phone over and checked the Caller ID.

It read Adina.
