"The Brave Little Coconut" by unfogging
Hi! My name’s Jekkoh, but you can call me Jekk for short. I know what you might be thinking. Did that coconut just talk to me? Yup, I did! You see, I’m not just a regular coconut. I’m a coconut JubJub! I can do all the things a regular JubJub can do, despite my edible appearance. (Please don’t try to eat me, by the way.) Like most JubJubs, I enjoy singing, dancing, rolling around, and just being adorable in general. I’ve earned the nickname “The Chatty Coconut” on Mystery Island due to the fact that I will talk to anybody about anything. But being a coconut isn’t the only thing that makes me special. I’m also special because I am brave. Want to know why? I have a story for you. It was evening time, and the sun was setting over the ocean. My best friend, Kai, and I had just finished a game of beach volleyball. As usual, I had won, and was bragging to Kai just a bit. He was pulling a sour but still good-natured face and mumbling about how he would “get me next time.” Kai, a red Mynci, had been my best friend for as long as I could remember. Suddenly, our friend Lily ran up to us. Lily is an island Xweetok who always has flowers tied into her fur and a smile on her face. “Kai, Jekk, we have a problem!” she said, panting. Her face was red and sweaty, as if she had been running for a while.
