It was dark. It was cold. It was damp. Then all of the sudden, I could see. The world is pretty. The big guy I''ve been growing on has seen better days I''m sure, but at least I''m happy and he''s around. The big lug.

    I think I saw a big wiggly thing bite one of my friends. I''m mad. They are all pretty small and haven''t even seen the world yet. I don''t want them to hurt. That''s dumb, I wish I could do something to fix it. Sadly I can''t move around like the dumb things do, but maybe I can learn. Someday.

    My friends are growing up. They''re almost as big as me! Of course, I''m the biggest, but I keep cheering them on every step of the way. They all look a healthy shade of green, except for Jam Jam, the one the wiggly thing bit. He''s a tad yellow. Oh well, Jam Jam will make a fine fruit like me one day, I''m sure of it!

    Tony fell from the tree. He broke a little. I cried. He might be okay, but I can''t tell. I tried calling out to him, but he didn''t answer. Then again, he is pretty shy. He''s probably fine.

    Tony got taken away. A big stumbling thing did it. It was huge. It held all of Tony so easy! Maybe it picked up Tony to take care of him. I sure hope so. It looked at my friends and I too before going away I think, but maybe I''m just imagining things. Wouldn''t be the first time.

    I''ve been trying to wiggle myself around like the wiggly things do, but no luck. Maybe I just need to really concentrate.


    —


    Oh, I fell asleep again. Maybe I shouldn''t concentrate so much. Life is pretty relaxing anyways, I don''t need to worry about all that wiggly stuff.

    The big stumbly thing came back today. It looked at us for a little bit and then left. I wasn''t imagining things! I wonder if it''s going to take care of us like Tony. I sure hope so.

    I noticed I''ve been getting more tired lately. I wonder if it''s because I''m more red. Oh yeah, we''re all red now. Me, Yami, Revi, and even Jam Jam are all red. I think we''re all growing up.


    —


    I fell. It hurt bad. I''m all alone now. Yami, Revi, Jam Jam… they can''t hear me. They''re all so quiet… but then again they''ve always been quiet. Have I always been alone?

    The big stumbly thing picked me up today. Maybe they can help me. They took me somewhere weird and… flat. I don''t see Tony. I wonder what happened to him?


    —


    I''ve been in the same spot for awhile. All the stumbly thing does is sit down and… put things in its mouth. Weird. I hope Tony''s been doing okay. I think I''m not as red anymore. I''m tired.

    It''s holding me up funny. Maybe it''s going to take me to Tony. I miss hi— CHOMP
