There are baby elephants about! But where will they go?!? They have so many places to visit!<br/><br/><strong>"Grandma couldn't come."</strong>They explain.<strong>"She says too tired! But moms say we're old enough to go out on our own"</strong>The little elephants, although much less little than the last time you saw, are quite proud of this fact! They also seemed to have learned to speak a little!<br/><br/>Oh and what wonders they have to visit, their first time out on their own!<br/><br/><br class="clear_left"/><hr/><br/><br/><em>Agi's Geyser!</em><br/><br/>Agi hears a happy little trumpet and turns to see some colorful little babies playing about near his prismatic springs!<br/><br/><strong>"Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi!"</strong>The babies all say at once having greatly improved their vocabularies as the time has gone by, all eager to be the first to greet him.<strong>"Agi! Agi!"</strong>They agree happily.<strong>"Spirit is AGI!"</strong>The baby elephants seem to want to be close to him.<strong>"Agi is warm! We love Agi!"</strong><br/><br/>A slight pause.<strong>"Guy---zur?"</strong>One asks with a cocked head.<br/><br/>Before any questions can be asked the gesyer bursts and the baby elephants all go<strong>"oooooOOoOOOOOOOOoooh!"</strong>at once! It is so excited some of their ooooohs turn into trumpets! Their little trunks lift up high as their noses try to trace the pace of the climbing water! They want to get close and play, but listen to Agi as he tells them to stay at a safe distance. However, once he lets them get closer, the baby elephants scamper in and play around in the well watered rocks, ooohing and aahing at how warm they are!<br/><br/><strong>"Agi is warm hugs!"</strong>A baby elephant proclaims!<strong>"Even warm hugs for the island!"</strong>The others nod and agree!<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>Aqua's Blooming Desert!</em><br/><br/><strong>"Oooh look! Spirit made rocks!"</strong>A baby elephant exclaims happily upon arriving at the desert.<br/><br/><strong>"No silly, Spirit made something over next hill!"</strong>A slightly bigger elephant corrects them!<br/><br/><strong>"Ooooooooh."</strong>The first baby says, they all trot ahead eagerly.<br/><br/>As they trot along they crest the next hill and suddenly the blooming desert is laid out before them. The baby elephants have all stopped. None are speaking or trumpeting, just staring with their mouths open.<br/><br/><strong>"So pretty!"</strong>One finally says.<strong>"We can play in it?"</strong><br/><br/>But of course they can!<br/><br/><strong>"Yay! Thank you....Aqua!"</strong>The elephants are happy to learn his name. Her name. Their name! Any of their names!<strong>"Spirit is AQUA! Aqua makes pretty things!"</strong>The baby elephants make a game of trying to hold the slippery and ever-changing water spirit still in their trunks for a hug! They love the game! They love hugging Aqua! They love the beautiful growth of flowers in the desert! Very happy baby elephants indeed!<br/><br/>They do not seem to understand what Aqua means when they say they might not see him again. Why wouldn't they be able to see their favorite spirit? Where would she go? Such things are too complicated for young elephants!<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>Rin's Glass Castles!</em><br/><br/><strong>"Oooh yes we help!"</strong>The babies agree eagerly, happily, visiting Rin over many days to help dig with their little trunks. Their moms have been supervising in the past, watching with patient and gentle joy as their babies play about, but now for this final visit the young ones are without adult supervision!<br/><br/>The little elephant eyes widen as Rin goes POP!<strong>"WowowowowowwowoW!"</strong>They trumpet in amazement!<strong>"Do it again! Do it again! Can you do it ag- oooooooh look!"</strong>They are so amazed by what Rin has done that they don't realize what Rin did! But finally they catch sigh of the now glassy sand castle. Their little trunks tap at it once Rin allows them to get close. They have never seen or felt anything like it!<br/><br/><strong>"Only RIN can do this!"</strong>One says, the others must nod in agreement!<br/><br/>But while the little elephants cavort about in glee, one has been pondering and thinking, sucking on her little trunk as she stares at the creation. Some deep and important secret tugs at her little elephant brain until she is finally able to use her words to ask.<strong>"Do Rideymathing work on Shineymathing?"</strong>She finally asks Rin.<br/><br/>The other elephants slowly understand the magnitude of this question and stare at Rin, expecting great wisdom to come from the answer!<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>Cor's Sky Islands!</em><br/><br/><strong>"Cor Cor!"</strong>The young elephants really like saying Cor.<br/><br/>One makes his voice as low as possible says in as rumbly and deep a voice as a baby elephant can manage<strong>"COOORRRRRR!</strong>The other elephants all must agree. Cor! Cor Cor Cor! Cor! It's so fun to say! It's so fun that at first the little things don't notice that the area has changed.<br/><br/><strong>"Wait."</strong>One says, squinting up, shielding her eyes with her trunk.<strong>"Those...clouds."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Hmmm. No clouds."</strong>Another says, carefully analyzing with her own trunk over her eyes.<strong>"Cloud is poof. Those is rock!"</strong><br/><br/><strong>"Rock cloud?"</strong>Another asks in amazement.<strong>"COR make clouds of rock? Or rocks of clouds."</strong><br/><br/><strong>"I know!"</strong>The first little babyphant says suddenly, picking up a stick in her trunk she spells it out.<strong>"Like Mom showed us!"</strong><br/><br/>Clouds<br/>Of<br/>Rock<br/><br/><strong>"Cor!"</strong><br/><br/>Cor! Cor! The others agree, trumpeting along in tune.<br/><br/><strong>"Let's go up!"</strong>One suggests.<br/><br/><strong>"Yes!"</strong><br/><br/><strong>"How?"</strong>One asks.<br/><br/>Silence is the only answer. There is no way up for things that cannot fly! Ooops. Oh well, the birdies will love it!<br/><br/><hr/><br/><em>Bubble's Sky Lagoon!</em><br/><br/><strong>"Ooooooooh."</strong>The baby elephants like visiting here! A nice little pond in the middle of a nice forest! What is not to love?<br/><br/><strong>"Fish is pretty."</strong>One points out.<br/><br/><strong>"So is Spirit!"</strong>One agrees!<strong>"What is spirit named?"</strong>The elephants thought they were ready for the answer, but who could prepare for such a response?<br/><br/><strong>"Bubbles? BUBBLES?!?!"</strong>The elephants can scarcely contain themselves! What a delightful name! They run over to the pond and stick their trunks in, blowing bubbles happily! Bubbles! Bubbles! Bubbles!<strong>"Look look is more bubbles!"</strong>They say with glee.<strong>"I made the most bubbles!"</strong>One proclaims!<strong>"Well I made the biggest bubble!"</strong>Another crows. And so and and so on, each wanting the approval of Bubbles to judge their bubbles as the most bubbly of bubbles, as only bubbles could say!<br/><br/>Eventually one watches in awe as a fish rises up just where they were blowing bubbles! It's little elephant eyes widen in astonishment.<strong>"Look! Look! I blew a fish bubble!"</strong>It announces with triumph. But quickly the babies realize that it was Bubbles, not the bubbles, that cause such bubbles!<br/><br/><strong>"Put me in a bubble! Put me in a bubble!"</strong>The little things gather around trumpeting eagerly. But while they may be little for elephants, they are still quite big, and Bubbles finds them quite heavy to lift, even just one at a time! Still, they love it a lot and giggle and trumpet for joy as Bubbles lets them play with her fishes!<br/><br/><hr/><br/>At the end of the visits the baby elephants trumpet in thanks!<strong>"Come, come see grandma with us!"</strong>They say, frolicking with each other and the spirits if they care to join in all the way back!
