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
