"Eat anyways! That's what I do." The gem sent Kuu a comforting smile, assuming he was still wary of her and Mr. Graganachi. At least, that's why she thought he looked uncomfortable.
"But how do..." He stops after realizes how loud it sounded, and his voice got quieter with each word. "...we know there's even food around here?" There was a second of awkwardness while Kuu looked away.
"Is okay! Mr. Graganachi always find food when super hungry!" Mr. Graganachi replied. As his stomach grumbled he used his nose to sniff for a smell of food. "Follow me, friends!" Mr. Graganachi said. He let them follow him until they reached an apple orchard with apple trees everywhere. "FOOD! Dig in, friends!" Mr. Graganachi's mouth opened wide as he drooled. He began to devour apples from the trees hungrily.
After eating to fill him up, Mr. Graganachi burped as crows flew away. "Friends, let's have competition to see who can knock down the most apples from trees while still standing on ground! Then we'll put the apples in my backpack for food supply on our journey! The winner gets this rare, golden apple I found!" Mr. Graganachi said.
"I'm down. Kuu?" The gem glanced over at the magikoopa. This sounded fun, and it would be an interesting way to discover their new companion's abilities.
Kuu watched as the apples quickly fell off the trees. "Oh! I know!" He said to himself. He waves his wand and creates a clone. After, he creates another. The clones start making clones until there are dozens and dozens of clones running around and grabbing apples off of the trees.
"Cheater..." Spodumene huffed, looking over at Kuu as she danced. Distracted by her childish jealously, she got clumsy. After tripping over herself, she got frustrated and jumped up, moving into a more hiphop style dance. The music from her gem turned a bit more "modern" and the pure loudness of the bass blasted apples off the trees.
"Time's up!" Mr. Graganachi said. "Here are final results! In third place Mr. Graganachi with 81 apples. Second place goes to Kuu with 90 apples! And first place goes to Spodumene, with 100 APPLES!!" Mr. Graganachi said. "Here you go." Mr. Graganachi said as he gave the golden apple to Spodumene. He then proceeded to divide the 271 apples as evenly as he could and put them into Kuu's, Spodumene's, and his own respective backpacks for food supply. "Well new friends, where should we go to next? I feels like exploring!" Mr. Graganachi said.
All of the clones pile up and disappear. "Uh, I can explore." Quietly he adds, "I need to get home though..." The apple in his hand crunches as he takes a bite.
"So, where we go next?" Mr. Graganachi asked. "To south is dense jungle with big volcano in center. To east is ocean that goes on for while. To west is giant desert. And to north is ice and glaciers. Also, apparently world's name is Geo Planet." Mr. Graganachi said as he read the files that his handy device picked up.
