Alli's POV

I was in the cabin with the boys and pulled out James' journal flipping to his charts seeing them match with Lily's, "All we need to do is track him as well because James landed somewhere but we don't know where." I said. "How do we do that?" Tommy asked. "Whales you two." John said. "Whales?" I asked. "Whales." John said.

I walked out and went to the wheel and felt someone on my shoulder, "Elsie hey." I said. She hooted, "I was worried about you as well." I said. "It's official you can talk to animals." Poly said. I saw John walk out with Tommy who had John's old hat on, "Here you go darling next coordinates." John said. "Thank you." I said. "Elliot tell where to next." I said. I looked for the monkey, "Elliot?" I asked. I saw him sleeping on my jacket.

Elsie hooted to me, "I understand completely." I said looking at Tommy. John was trying to fix something on the boat when I heard a whale call, "Alli follow the whales." John said. "Never in a million years did I think I would be following whales to Eden Tree Island." I said. "Really?" Chee Chee asked. "Yes Chee Chee." I said.

*Skip a couple days*

I sat at the front of the boat sleeping.

 "Alli, Alli, wake up, wake up." Tommy said shaking me. I shot up, "Everything okay are we following the whales still?" I asked. John pointed out to something and I stood up, "Oh my." I said. "Eden Tree Island." Tommy mumbled. "We found it." I said as John hugged me. I pulled Tommy in as well, "Extraordinary." John said. "Okay we need to go in this way." I said looking at James' chart in his journal. "The back way why?" Plimpton asked. "Because Müdfly will be set up right here." I said showing the big opening on Lily's chart. "She's right." John said. We got on our row boat and went to shore and had to climbed a narrow ledge, "Don't look down let's keep our beaks up shall we?" John asked.

I nodded and felt for a big hole in the wall, "Trying to stay positive what the heck are we doing up here?" Plimpton asked. I shook my head, "Going in the back way my feathered buddy." Yoshi said. "Thank you Yoshi." I said. "No problem." Yoshi said. "What are you complaining about this is the widest branch I've ever scurried on." Kevin said. I rolled my eyes at him and felt a opening and got in, "Here we go Tommy look at me." I said. He did and I got his hand. I made sure everyone made it in and felt John's hand on my waist, "Yes?" I asked. He kissed me and I kissed him back my arms going around his neck, "We make it out of here alive you and Stubbins live with me." He said. "You sure?" I asked. "I'd be crazy to let you go and loose you." He said.

I smiled nodding and kissed him again, "As nice as this is can we get a move on?" Poly asked. "It's cold." Yoshi said. "Yoshi you're always cold." I said walking down. "Whoa a big cave." Plimpton said. I made a clicking noise and patted my shoulder for Elsie and Elliot. Elsie got up on my shoulder as Elliot got in my bag which had James' journal, "Stay close keep quiet." John whispered.

I heard Kevin talking to himself yet again which he's been doing this whole trip. We heard yelling, "Hide they're close." John said as we ducked down. My hand and his were on the rock, "Alli look." Tommy whispered. "Foxfire fungus." John whispered. I pulled out James' book, "We're near it." I said. "How do you know that?" Tommy asked. "James' notes." I said showing the boys.
