The Yoshis' Treasure Hunt

By: Albert64, Age 17

Chapter 1

It all started on Yoshi Cove, a secret hiding place for four Yoshis. Boxxa, a muscular, light blue Yoshi, Kewldude, a green Yoshi punk, Hot Tamale, a red Yoshi with a thing for chili peppers, and Ariel, a pink Yoshi with beautiful long blonde (tangled) hair and a jetpack.
"I'm so bored!" complained Boxxa one hot and sunny day on Yoshi Cove.
"Speak for yourself, dude. I'm boreder!" Kewldude squawked.
"More bored." Ariel corrected primly.
"Mrtdh...hooldonasec.." Hot Tamale mumbled through a mouthful of chili peppers.
Hot Tamale reached for another handful of chili peppers when a glass bottle rolled out of the pile.
"Hel-lo what have we here?" Ariel said, surprised.
"Boy, am I thirsty!" Kewldude exclaimed as he pulled the cork from the bottle.
A message that was in that bottle fell out and rolled by Boxxa's feet.
He picked it up and studied it.
"Holy cow, this is a treasure map!"

The other Yoshis gathered around Boxxa to see the map.
Kewldude rubbed his hands together. "Dude, think of what that treasure could buy! Really expensive skateboards!"
"A whole gym built on this cove!" Boxxa added.
"Perhaps a new jetpack will be nice. That treasure can buy the Flymaster 2000!" Ariel put in.
The Yoshis looked over at Hot Tamale.
"CHILI PEPPERS!" He yelled.
"We had to ask." The others muttered.
"Hey, guys, let's get going!" Boxxa said.
Kewldude got on his skateboard. Ariel held on to Hot Tamale and took into the air on her jetpack. Boxxa ran beside Kewldude. And they took off in search of the treasure. Unfortunately, Baby Bowser was watching them from behind a tree.
"Heh heh. Imagine what evil deeds I can do with both that treasure and the Super Happy Tree!" he cackled.
And he took off for the treasure.

The Yoshis followed the map through an old mine. "Oh-khay," Kewldude said, reading the map. "This is the end of the path, time to hop in this mine car!" They all jumped into the mine car. As they went, a low hanging object nearly hit Boxxa in the head. "DUCK!" Ariel yelled as she pushed Boxxa down. "Hmmm, this is our secret place! Somebody must've put that there!" Boxxa pondered. They all exchanged surprised looks. Boxxa was right. Upon the rafters on the old mine, Baby Bowser sat, laughing at our heroes for what was up ahead. "Don't look now, guys." Ariel gasped "But the track up ahead seems to be broken...."
