Carmelita POV

I grabbed my backpack and placed my phone, some clothes, food and a disk inside. I was all ready to go on my journey. I was about leave when I saw my locket, which I immediately grabbed and dawned it around my neck. I started to walk away from home when I heard someone shouting my name.

I turn around to see Flaky and DB running towards me. Flaky was the one who was shouting my name. She asked curiously, "Where are you going?!"
I replied calmly, "I'm going on a journey."
"Why?" DB asked, placing his hands by his sides.
"I just want to find Flippy."
He asked politely, "Can I come with you?"
I nodded my head as I shrugged my shoulders, "Sure, I guess."
He smiled and said, "Thanks."
Flaky said with sadness in her voice, "I will miss both of you guys."
I nodded and said, "DB go get ready." He nodded and ran off.

10 minutes later

Db came back, but with Uncle Lumpkins following behind him. I slapped my head with my hand in annoyance. Lumpkins ran up to me and said, "Carmelita, please don't leave!"
"I have to go, Uncle Lumpkins."
DB said, "We'll be back in 30 minutes."
I crossed my arms in front of me and said with a serious tone, "I'm leaving and not coming back until dad comes home." They were both surprised when I said that. I started to walk away when I saw Lammy and Flaky running up to me.

Lammy said sadly, "You're really going to leave us?" I nodded and kept walking towards the barrier when I saw Splendid and Splendont flying towards me. I kept walking until I finally got to the barrier. I turned around to see everyone staring at me. I said loudly, "I am going to find dad and bring him home when the war is over." I was just about to leave when someone grab my hand.

I turned around to see Flaky, and she said hopefully, "I would like to come with you." I was surprised to hear that Flaky.
I said, "Sorry Flaky, but I need to do this on my own." She looked down at the ground in sadness. Then I said, "Fine, you can come with me." She hugged me tightly. We started to walk away from Happy Tree Town.

2 hours later

As me and Flaky kept walking, we came across a sign that said, "Hope Town." At the bottom there was a huge note that said in colorful letters, "Party in 2 days!" I asked, "You want to go to the party?" She nodded. And we started to walk to Hope Town.
