A group of explorers from special reserve set out on a journey to find a lost empire.
Grix_Thraves, MrSnuggly, Goatboy, Tiltawhirl, Meka_Dragon, Stryke, Tony, $lik and No.2 were all in the group
Here's what happened on their journey.
They had just arrived at the final check at the airport.
Everyone except from MrSnuggly got through ok.
"Excuse me sir," said a small lady behind the desk. "But you can't take dangerous objects such as that stick onto the plane as hand luggage." The small lady said "Snuggly here never goes anywhere without his stick" said Meka_Dragon "Sorry I can't make any exceptions, no dangerous hand luggage on the plane. If you want I can have it put in the cargo hold" replied the lady
"I guess Snuggly will have to go in the cargo hold then" said No.2 with a great big smirk on his face "Why?" replied Goatboy "Snuggly is more dangerous than the stick" replied N0.2 Goatboy and No.2 sniggered.
Reluctantly Snuggly slowly handed his stick over.
"Com on Snuggly we'll miss the plane" said $lik "I'm coming I'm coming" Replied Snuggly.
They just made it to the terminal. "Phew we made it" gasped Tiltawhirl.
They ran up the terminal and made it onto the plane. Almost as soon as they had got on the plane it started moving.
"We only just made it," said Stryke "And only just in time" said Goatboy.
"Have we got everything?" asked Tony "I think so" replied $lik.
"More importantly have we got Snuggly's large supply of doughnuts?" asked No.2 "You know he couldn't last three days of travelling without at least one box of doughnuts a day" No.2 went on.
"God you're right," said Stryke "I'd better check" Said Meka Drangon "Phew thank god for that, There all there. For a moment there I thought we'd left them behind, if we'd have done that we would've had to go back, Snuggly wouldn't have lasted a day without him smashing somebody wiv a stick" Said Meka.
********************************************************************
DAY ONE:
Two hours had passed when Snuggly asked where his doughnuts were.
"Where are my doughnuts?" asked Snuggly. "I'll get them," said Tony.
He got up out of his seat to get Snuggly's doughnuts out of the overhead luggage compartment
"There you go". Said Tony. "Thanks" said Snuggly who devoured them with great pleasure!
The pilot started to say something over the speakerphone. "We are now preparing to land in Africa please fasten your seat belts, put out your cigarettes and put down your doughnuts." The pilot said.
"Snuggly you'd better put down those doughnuts" said Tiltawhirl "No" replied Snuggly "Think of it this way Snuggly, If we had a rough landing and you choked on your doughnut you might be dead then you wouldn't be able to eat any more doughnuts" said Stryke. Snuggly quickly stopped eating and placed down his doughnuts.
20 minutes later they were at a small African landing strip.
They all got out of the plane.
"This is a weird place," said Goatboy
"Well lets get the tents and the food and the rest of the stuff" Said Meka.
Half an hour later they set out to find The Lost Empire.
Tiltawhirl took out the map "According to this map we've got three day's worth of travelling to do." He said.
"You'd better break the new to Snuggly" said No.2 "Break what news?" asked Meka "The news that Snuggly will have to Stop eating so many doughnuts if he wants to make them last the full four days" replied N0.2
"No way I'm not telling him you tell him" Said Meka, shaking his head.
No2 walked gingerly towards MrSnuggly.
"Umm…. I've got some bad news for you Snuggly" Said No.2 "What bad news is that?" asked Snuggly
"If you want those doughnuts to last you'd better eat one a day two at the most" replied No.2
Snuggly suddenly let out a roar and took his stick from his back pak raised it and smacked No.2 as hard as he could.
No.2 was airborne for about 200 yards until finally hitting a tree and sliding down it like a soggy bannana.
"Snuggly didn't take that too well did he?" said Stryke
They wandered through the jungle for another to hours until Tony spoke out and said" I've just had a call from Your_Honour he'll be joining us shortly"
"How will he get here" asked The battered and bruised No.2
"By helicopter" replied Tony. "He's on his way now" he went on to say.
"We might as well set up camp, he wont be here until nightfall anyway" Said Tony.
Two hours later they were all in their tents.
"Well I don't know about you guys but I'm going to call it a day" said Goatboy.
Twenty minutes later they were all snuggled up in their Sleeping bags sound asleep.
Suddenly No.2 woke with a jump he saw a shadow outside their tent.
He heard a quite growling noise.
No.2 started shaking Meka to wake him up.
"What is it?" Meka said half asleep "There's something or somebody making a noise outside our tent." Whimpered No.2.
Meka went outside to check what it was. "Snuggly what are you doing out here at this time of night?" Said Meka. "Err…nothing, " said Snuggly who had jumped when Meka came up behind him "Then get back in your tent" said Meka to Snuggly who scampered back into his tent.
Meka went back into his tent.
"It was just Snuggly looking for his doughnuts that I hid," said Meka to No.2.
"Why did you hide them?" said No.2 "Because if they were kept them within Snuggly's reach they wouldn't last a single day" replied Meka. 2I guess you're right" said No.2 who decided to go to sleep again.
********************************************************************
DAY TWO:
It was early morning and only Meka Tiltawhril and Tony were up.
"Hey there's another tent over there" said Tiltawhirl.
"Oh that'll be Your_Honour he'll have arrived over night"
"OI YOU LAZY LOT WAKE UP WE'VE GOTTA GET A MOVE ON" shouted Tony.
Ten minutes later they were all up and munching breakfast which Tony had so kindly cooked for them.
"Did you have a good Journey?" Goatboy said to Your_Honour "Interesting enough" replied Your_Honour.
"Right come on you lot let's get packed up we've got a lot to cover today" said $lik
So an hour later they were all on their way. Trekking through the jungle slashing through big bushes squishing their way through swamps and marshes for three hours before reaching a clear patch of grass.
"Lets have a break here," said $lik.
"Ok a ten minute break" said Meka.
"Can I have a doughnut please?" said Snuggly. "Ok but only one" said Meka "Here you go take your pick," said Meka. "Thanks I needed one, all that walking made me peckish" said Snuggly. No.2 slowly came over and sat down beside Snuggly. "Errr…Sorry about hitting you like that the other day" Said Snuggly. "That's ok It was rather fun flying through the air like that" Said No.2 "I didn't mean to hit you quite so hard" Said Snuggly
"That's ok I forgive you" Said No.2 "As a sorry for hitting you I'll let you pick any one of these doughnuts, even the one with the hundreds and thousands" Said Snuggly 2Really?" said N0.2 sounding surprised.
"You sure can" Replied Snuggly with a great big smile on his face going from ear to ear.
N0.2 took a doughnut with lots of hundreds and thousands on it. "Thanks Snuggly" said No.2 2That's ok" replied Snuggly.
They both sat on a rock and ate their doughnuts.
After a five-minute break they all got up and started to hack through large bushes again.
About an hours travelling got done when Goatboy said "How much further do we have to go"
"Another three miles or so until we can set up camp for the night" said Tony
So on they went hacking through yet more bushes and trampling through marshes.
"That was tough work," said $lik once they had reached the camp area.
"You can say that again" replied Your_Honour who had been fairly quiet throughout the three miles.
"Lets get everything unpacked" Said Tony.
"Ok Tony" said Goatboy.
So about three-quarters of an hour later all the tents had been put up and the campfire lit.
"Hey Grix did you remember to bring those marshmallows?" asked Your_Honour "Yeah I did, here they are" Replied Grix who handed Your_Honour the marshmallows.
"Lets have lightly toasted marshmallows" Said Your_Honour.
In five minuets time they were all munching lightly toasted marshmallows.
Twenty minutes later their tea was ready.
"Tea's up" said $lik "come and get it, last one here gets hit with a stick by Snuggly" said $lik
Everybody leapt up of their rock and squabbled to get to the campfire.
No.2 was the last one there. He realised that he was last and he ran of and hid behind a bush.
"Come back here No.2 I was only joking" said $lik.
No.2 came out from behind the bush. "Err sorry I umm…err… didn't realise that you were joking" N0.2 said. "That's ok!" said $lik.
They had all finished their lunch when Your_Honour suggested they get an early night.
"We should go to bed early tonight so we can get an early start" Said Your_Honour.
"I agree," said Tony "But what about our custard doughnuts" Said Snuggly who was miffed at having to go to bed without desert. "Oh we'll have them tomorrow" said Tony. Snuggly wasn't very happy about Tony's decision so he took the nearest stick and smacked Tony with it.
Tony went hurling towards the patch of bog that was near by. He landed in it face first.
$lik burst out laughing.
Snuggly turned towards $lik after hearing him laughing at the unfortunate Tony.
But before Snuggly could even raise his stick $lik had run of screaming and leaping like a frog over the logs that were in his way.
Nobody else dared to laugh.
Except from Goatboy who couldn't keep it in any longer.
Snuggly heard Goatboy laugh and ran towards him waving his stick.
Goatboy froze terrified. Snuggly lashed out with his stick and hit Goatboy with it Goatboy also landed in the bog beside Tony.
They both lay there groaning. "Ok Ok you can have the custard doughnuts," said Tony who got up slowly and walked over to his backpack and took out the custard doughnuts.
"Here you go Snuggly," said Tony "Thanks" said Snuggly.
"Sorry I hit you both I'll make it up to you, I promise" Said Snuggly "That's ok Snuggly as long as you try not to hit anybody else." Said Goatboy.
After they had eaten their doughnuts everybody went to bed.
At about three in the morning something woke up Tony and Snuggly.
"What's that outside the tent?" said Tony.
"Take your stick and we'll go and find out" Tony said to Snuggly.
They both went cautiously outside the tent.
"Look it's a monkey!" said Tony "It's digging in my backpack, and it's got one of your doughnuts"
Snuggly ran towards the monkey and hit it with his stick.
The poor monkey was hit so hard that it went flying up towards a nearby tree. Goatboy who had heard the talking and came out to see the monkey being hit shouted "FORE" luckily the monkey grabbed onto a branch and swung itself from branch to branch.
"Not a bad shot there Snuggly" said Goatboy "But did you really have to hit the poor thing that hard?" Said Goatboy.
"Sorry but it was eating one of my doughnuts" replied Snuggly.
"I suppose it asked for that thumping you gave it," said Goatboy.
They went back to their tents and went back to sleep.
********************************************************************
DAY THREE:
Every body had had their breakfast and were packing up the tents when Goatboy said "Hey Snuggly that was quite funny the way that the monkey flew into the air wasn't it?" "Yeah it sure was" replied Snuggly.
"Right come on lets get going" said Your_Honour "We covered quite a lot of ground yesterday" Said Your_Honour.
So on they went trampling through marshes, bogs and even the odd pile of monkey poo.
Grix was chasing Tiltawhirl who pushed Grix into a wet big.
Suddenly Grix tripped on something.
Goatboy saw Tiltawhirl fall and went over to see if he was ok. "Hey are you ok Tiltawhirl?" said Goatboy
"I think I've sprained my ankle" said Tiltawhirl "I tripped over near that log over there" said Tiltawhirl.
Goatboy went to where Tiltawhirl pointed and started to search for what Tiltawhirl tripped on.
"Hey what's this? It looks like a handle, Grix give me a hand will you?" said Goatboy.
"Hey it looks like some sort of passage way" Said Goatboy "Hey guys look at this" Said Grix
They all came over to see what Grix & Goatboy were talking about.
"Let's go down inside" said Your_Honour
They all clambered down inside the small opening.
Once they were all inside they took out their torches.
"I wonder if this might be what were looking for," said Tiltawhirl
"It might be" said Grix "I thought we still had a lot more travelling to do," said Tony.
"Well come on" said Grix "Let's get moving"
So of they went down a long dark passage way.
They had no idea what they would find ahead of them.
"Hey I think I can hear talking," said Tiltawhirl
Just then a fairly small man about 4ft "5" came along the passageway.
"Hey we have visitors," the man said. "Come with me I will show you my Kingdom. The man said.
"I think this is it" whispered Tony "Think this is what?" asked Your_Honour. "I think this is The Lost Empire we have been searching for, we've found it" Replied Tony.
Shortly they came up to a large wooden door that stood about 20ft.
The small man knocked twice on the door.
Slowly the large doors opened making a loud creaking noise.
Everybody stop dead in their tracks.
"Wow this place is massive." Said No.2
"I see you are impressed my friend" replied the small man.
"You bet I am," said No.2
Suddenly a monkey jumped of a large overhead beam and leapt onto Snuggly.
The monkey Grabbed Snuggly's stick out of his back and hit him with it then the monkey ran of with the stick.
"Hey isn't that the monkey that Snuggly hit the other night?" said Goatboy "How can you tell it's him?" asked Tony "Because that monkey has got a large cut on his arm"
"I guess our Snuggly's not the only one that likes sticks," said $lik
"By the way where is Snuggly?" asked Grix
"Oh he went of after the monkey" replied Tiltawhirl.
A few minutes later Snuggly came back in a sulk.
"I guess you didn't catch that monkey then," said $lik
"I'll get it yet" Replied Snuggly.
"It looks like you got a taste of your own medicine then Snuggly," said Goatboy.
Snuggly grunted back at Goatboy.
"Why is everybody walking around with a monkey on their shoulders?" Asked Stryke who had been very quite throughout the whole journey.
" It is said in our ancient books that monkeys bring wealth, health and good luck, so everyone has a pet monkey," replied the small man.
"Oh you may call me Friday" said the small man.
"Come with me to the monkey house" said the man.
A short while later they were in a massive room full of monkeys.
"How do you look after all these monkeys? It must be a lot of hard work," said Stryke
"We have people that come here in their own free time and care for them.
It is a lot of hard work but it has its rewards" said Friday.
"I must show you the dining room," said Friday.
They walked along a few small passageways until they came to some wooden doors.
Friday opened them.
Inside the room was a massive table.
"Why is the table so big?" asked No.2
"Everybody that lives in this kingdom eats at this table there are 3,000 seats in total, I sit right at the end" Replied Friday.
Friday left the room to speak to one of his comrades.
"Hey Tony are we going back home the way we came?" asked Stryke.
"No were going by Helicopter" replied Tony.
Friday came back in "We are about to have a feast. Would you like to join us?" said Friday.
"I have arranged for extra seats," said Friday.
"We'd love to" Replied Tony.
So after two hours of preparing the food and laying out the table they were ready to eat.
Snuggly smelled the food and came in to the room.
His nose was gong crazy smelling all the delicious looking food.
"Hey Snuggly they even made you some doughnuts," said Goatboy.
Snuggly stood there drooling.
"Mmmmmmmmm…Doughnuts!" Said Snuggly.
Friday sounded a great big gong that was at the top of the room.
Shortly after all of his 3,000 loyal subjects came in their room, all with their monkeys on their shoulders.
" I notice the monkeys have a table for themselves" said $lik once everybody had sat down.
"Yes they even have their own meals prepared for them" replied Friday.
They all sat there eating their meals.
In an hours time all the food was gone and everybody started to leave.
"Well I guess we'd better get some sleep, the chopper is coming fairly early tomorrow" said Tony.
"I will show you were you can spend the night," said Friday.
They walked along four short passageways until they came to a door with strange markings on it.
Friday opened the door and showed them inside.
"This room is used only for visitors, said Friday.
"I hope you rest well," Said Friday.
Friday left the room and left them to get ready for bed.
"I like this place" said Meka. "So do I" replied Goatboy.
"I'll be sorry to leave," said Snuggly.
But nobody but N0.2 heard him. "Yeah me too Snuggly" said No.2
Within five minutes they too were asleep.
********************************************************************
THE FINAL DAY:
It was early in the morning when Tony woke up.
"Hey guys wake up the chopper comes in two hours," said Tony.
Tony got up and walked round the room telling everyone to get up.
Within half an hour everybody was up and ready to go.
They went out into the main hall, which was already bustling with people.
Friday came along and saw them leaving the room. "Did you sleep well my friends?" said Friday.
"Yeah we sure did," said Meka.
"We had our morning meal at first light" said Friday " But one has been prepared for you"
Friday took them to the Dining room.
"Enjoy your meal" said Friday and then left the room.
"Mmmmmmm! That smells good," said Snuggly.
"It looks like some sort of pancakes" replied Stryke.
They went to the table and sat down.
"Mmm! These are delicious," said Goatboy who had started do dig into the pancakes.
They rest of the group went to the table and started eating their helpings.
Within twenty minutes everything had gone.
"Yum I enjoyed them!" said MrSnuggly.
"We'd better go back to the guestroom and get everything packed up," said Grix
So they all went back to the guestroom and packed everything up.
They finished packing everything up within an hour.
"Come on we'd better head back up the main entrance if we want to catch that Helicopter" Said Grix.
So they went off to say goodbye to Friday.
" I see you are ready to leave," said Friday.
"Yeah I'm afraid so" replied Stryke.
" We would like you to have this small statue as a token of our friendship," said Friday who handed them a small handmade statue.
"Thankyou" said Tony "Your welcome my fried" replied Friday.
"You are also welcome to return here anytime you wish," said Friday.
"I think we might just take you up on that offer," said Stryke.
"I hope to see you again sometime in the near future," said Friday.
"It's been an honour having you here," said Friday.
"Thanks it's been an honour meeting you" replied Tony.
" Take care," said Friday.
"You too" said Tony.
They started to walk up to the surface-waving goodbye as they went.
Soon they reached the surface and got in the Helicopter, which was waiting for them.
They got in the Helicopter.
Soon the Helicopter left, leaving Friday and his Kingdom Behind for the next Group of Explorers to find.
THE END!!!!
Grix_Thraves, MrSnuggly, Goatboy, Tiltawhirl, Meka_Dragon, Stryke, Tony, $lik and No.2 were all in the group

Snuggly ran towards the monkey and hit it with his stick.
The poor monkey was hit so hard that it went flying up towards a nearby tree. Goatboy who had heard the talking and came out to see the monkey being hit shouted "FORE" luckily the monkey grabbed onto a branch and swung itself from branch to branch.
"Not a bad shot there Snuggly" said Goatboy "But did you really have to hit the poor thing that hard?" Said Goatboy.
"Sorry but it was eating one of my doughnuts" replied Snuggly.
"I suppose it asked for that thumping you gave it," said Goatboy.
They went back to their tents and went back to sleep.
********************************************************************
DAY THREE:
Every body had had their breakfast and were packing up the tents when Goatboy said "Hey Snuggly that was quite funny the way that the monkey flew into the air wasn't it?" "Yeah it sure was" replied Snuggly.
"Right come on lets get going" said Your_Honour "We covered quite a lot of ground yesterday" Said Your_Honour.
So on they went trampling through marshes, bogs and even the odd pile of monkey poo.
Grix was chasing Tiltawhirl who pushed Grix into a wet big.
Suddenly Grix tripped on something.
Goatboy saw Tiltawhirl fall and went over to see if he was ok. "Hey are you ok Tiltawhirl?" said Goatboy
"I think I've sprained my ankle" said Tiltawhirl "I tripped over near that log over there" said Tiltawhirl.
Goatboy went to where Tiltawhirl pointed and started to search for what Tiltawhirl tripped on.
"Hey what's this? It looks like a handle, Grix give me a hand will you?" said Goatboy.
"Hey it looks like some sort of passage way" Said Goatboy "Hey guys look at this" Said Grix
They all came over to see what Grix & Goatboy were talking about.
"Let's go down inside" said Your_Honour
They all clambered down inside the small opening.
Once they were all inside they took out their torches.
"I wonder if this might be what were looking for," said Tiltawhirl
"It might be" said Grix "I thought we still had a lot more travelling to do," said Tony.
"Well come on" said Grix "Let's get moving"
So of they went down a long dark passage way.
They had no idea what they would find ahead of them.
"Hey I think I can hear talking," said Tiltawhirl
Just then a fairly small man about 4ft "5" came along the passageway.
"Hey we have visitors," the man said. "Come with me I will show you my Kingdom. The man said.
"I think this is it" whispered Tony "Think this is what?" asked Your_Honour. "I think this is The Lost Empire we have been searching for, we've found it" Replied Tony.
Shortly they came up to a large wooden door that stood about 20ft.
The small man knocked twice on the door.
Slowly the large doors opened making a loud creaking noise.
Everybody stop dead in their tracks.
"Wow this place is massive." Said No.2
"I see you are impressed my friend" replied the small man.
"You bet I am," said No.2
Suddenly a monkey jumped of a large overhead beam and leapt onto Snuggly.
The monkey Grabbed Snuggly's stick out of his back and hit him with it then the monkey ran of with the stick.
"Hey isn't that the monkey that Snuggly hit the other night?" said Goatboy "How can you tell it's him?" asked Tony "Because that monkey has got a large cut on his arm"
"I guess our Snuggly's not the only one that likes sticks," said $lik
"By the way where is Snuggly?" asked Grix
"Oh he went of after the monkey" replied Tiltawhirl.
A few minutes later Snuggly came back in a sulk.
"I guess you didn't catch that monkey then," said $lik
"I'll get it yet" Replied Snuggly.
"It looks like you got a taste of your own medicine then Snuggly," said Goatboy.
Snuggly grunted back at Goatboy.
"Why is everybody walking around with a monkey on their shoulders?" Asked Stryke who had been very quite throughout the whole journey.
" It is said in our ancient books that monkeys bring wealth, health and good luck, so everyone has a pet monkey," replied the small man.
"Oh you may call me Friday" said the small man.
"Come with me to the monkey house" said the man.
A short while later they were in a massive room full of monkeys.
"How do you look after all these monkeys? It must be a lot of hard work," said Stryke
"We have people that come here in their own free time and care for them.
It is a lot of hard work but it has its rewards" said Friday.
"I must show you the dining room," said Friday.
They walked along a few small passageways until they came to some wooden doors.
Friday opened them.
Inside the room was a massive table.
"Why is the table so big?" asked No.2
"Everybody that lives in this kingdom eats at this table there are 3,000 seats in total, I sit right at the end" Replied Friday.
Friday left the room to speak to one of his comrades.
"Hey Tony are we going back home the way we came?" asked Stryke.
"No were going by Helicopter" replied Tony.
Friday came back in "We are about to have a feast. Would you like to join us?" said Friday.
"I have arranged for extra seats," said Friday.
"We'd love to" Replied Tony.
So after two hours of preparing the food and laying out the table they were ready to eat.
Snuggly smelled the food and came in to the room.
His nose was gong crazy smelling all the delicious looking food.
"Hey Snuggly they even made you some doughnuts," said Goatboy.
Snuggly stood there drooling.
"Mmmmmmmmm…Doughnuts!" Said Snuggly.
Friday sounded a great big gong that was at the top of the room.
Shortly after all of his 3,000 loyal subjects came in their room, all with their monkeys on their shoulders.
" I notice the monkeys have a table for themselves" said $lik once everybody had sat down.
"Yes they even have their own meals prepared for them" replied Friday.
They all sat there eating their meals.
In an hours time all the food was gone and everybody started to leave.
"Well I guess we'd better get some sleep, the chopper is coming fairly early tomorrow" said Tony.
"I will show you were you can spend the night," said Friday.
They walked along four short passageways until they came to a door with strange markings on it.
Friday opened the door and showed them inside.
"This room is used only for visitors, said Friday.
"I hope you rest well," Said Friday.
Friday left the room and left them to get ready for bed.
"I like this place" said Meka. "So do I" replied Goatboy.
"I'll be sorry to leave," said Snuggly.
But nobody but N0.2 heard him. "Yeah me too Snuggly" said No.2
Within five minutes they too were asleep.
********************************************************************
THE FINAL DAY:
It was early in the morning when Tony woke up.
"Hey guys wake up the chopper comes in two hours," said Tony.
Tony got up and walked round the room telling everyone to get up.
Within half an hour everybody was up and ready to go.
They went out into the main hall, which was already bustling with people.
Friday came along and saw them leaving the room. "Did you sleep well my friends?" said Friday.
"Yeah we sure did," said Meka.
"We had our morning meal at first light" said Friday " But one has been prepared for you"
Friday took them to the Dining room.
"Enjoy your meal" said Friday and then left the room.
"Mmmmmmm! That smells good," said Snuggly.
"It looks like some sort of pancakes" replied Stryke.
They went to the table and sat down.
"Mmm! These are delicious," said Goatboy who had started do dig into the pancakes.
They rest of the group went to the table and started eating their helpings.
Within twenty minutes everything had gone.
"Yum I enjoyed them!" said MrSnuggly.
"We'd better go back to the guestroom and get everything packed up," said Grix
So they all went back to the guestroom and packed everything up.
They finished packing everything up within an hour.
"Come on we'd better head back up the main entrance if we want to catch that Helicopter" Said Grix.
So they went off to say goodbye to Friday.
" I see you are ready to leave," said Friday.
"Yeah I'm afraid so" replied Stryke.
" We would like you to have this small statue as a token of our friendship," said Friday who handed them a small handmade statue.
"Thankyou" said Tony "Your welcome my fried" replied Friday.
"You are also welcome to return here anytime you wish," said Friday.
"I think we might just take you up on that offer," said Stryke.
"I hope to see you again sometime in the near future," said Friday.
"It's been an honour having you here," said Friday.
"Thanks it's been an honour meeting you" replied Tony.
" Take care," said Friday.
"You too" said Tony.
They started to walk up to the surface-waving goodbye as they went.
Soon they reached the surface and got in the Helicopter, which was waiting for them.
They got in the Helicopter.
Soon the Helicopter left, leaving Friday and his Kingdom Behind for the next Group of Explorers to find.
THE END!!!!

That was cool.
It was a bit tough to read early on, as some of the dialogue was on a line with another characters dialogue, which was a bit confusing.
If you start each piece of dialogue on a new line, like so:
"I'm hungry!" said Snuggly.
"Would you like a doughnut then?" Asked Tony.
"Gee thanks Tony" replied Mr Snuggly, grabbing a doughnut and cramming it into his mouth.
It makes it easier to read.
Still, it was a fun story nonetheless.
