Flooded

Antti walks on top of the water through the flooded forest. The scene of his argument with Jonna and him using his powers in front of everyone keeps replaying in his mind. Now that he's alone, he can do whatever he wants to do; nothing could hold him back in the forest--he can harm no one. He then arrives at an area of the forest where the lake is suppose to be. Instead, it seems like the lake took over the forest.
Antti sighs and begins to sing: "The lake glows white in the moonlight, not a person to be seen. A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like...I'm the King." He begins walking around huge lake. "Outside is peaceful, but inside I'm petrified. Couldn't keep it in, no one knows I tried." He then marches around, pointing his finger out in front of him with a serious look. "Don't let them in, don't let them see, be the good guy you always have to be. Conceal, don't feel, don't let them show..." He takes off his crown, looking at it. "Well now they knoooooow!!!" He throws it off into the woods; he shoots thin ribbons of water out from his hands. "Let it go, let it go! Can't hold it back anymore!" He shoots thicker ones into the air. "Let it go, let it go! Turn away and slam the door!" He lets the water he threw into the air fall behind him. "I don't care--" He blasts water at one side. "--what they're going to say!" He blasts water to the other side. "Let the waves rage on... I didn't mind being in the water." He takes his cape off, letting it sink into the water. He makes his way back into the forest, going up a big hill. "It's funny how some action, can change everything... And now I can hear, all of this freedom ring!" He runs up to the top of the hill seeing another bigger one next to it. "It's time to see what I can do!" He blasts water towards the hill next to the one he is on, making a bridge. "To test the limits and break through!" He runs up to the bridge. "No right, no wrong, no rules for me! I'm freeeee!" He stomps on the bridge, making part of it solid; he begins sprinting on it, solidifying the rest of the bridge. "Let it go, let it go! I am one with the lake and sky! Let it go, let it go!" He jumps onto the bigger hill. "You'll never see me cry! Here I stand!" He slams his foot on to the ground, making a flat platform made out of solid water. "And here I stay! Let the waves rage on..." He uses all his strength, making pillars and walls rise out from the platform, making a castle out of water. "My power surges from the lake into the sky! My soul is spiraling in water ribbons, can't deny! And thought blasts water, makin' ev'thing soaked!!!" He looks out from the open doorway, seeing the lights of his kingdom. "I'm never going back...I have a life of my own!!!" He begins making his own outfit, which was a midnight blue trench coat, black pants, and boots. "Let it goooo! Let it goooo! And I'll rise like a hurricane!!! Let it gooo! Let it gooo! I'm done with all this fame!!!" He makes his way to the balcony, seeing the full moon glowing in the star-littered night. "Here I stand, in the white moonlight... Let the waves rage OOOOON!!!" He let's a smirk grow on his face. "I didn't mind being in the water." He turns away sharply, closing the doors behind him.

The next day, Jonna is still looking for Antti in the forest, but she was in an area where there weren't so many trees. "Antti?" she calls out. "Antti! Look, I'm sorry that I made you mad... Can you please come back with me? Hello?" Then she hears a sickening sputtering sound from behind her. Jonna turns around, seeing gray smoke rising from the engine. "Oh no, the engine's broken! Ei!" She tries to paddle with her hands down stream, when a tree branch from underneath rips through the raft, making it sink. (No!)
"NOOOO!!" Jonna dives into the water.

Later that night, she is floating on the water. "Ugh, how am I ever gonna find him like this!" She looks ahead of her and sees a trading post. "Ooo, people!" She swims over to the trading post's entrance, reading the sign that is hanging from the roof of the small wooden shack, saying, "Tuukka's and Pony's Trading Post. Ooo, and Sauna!" She swims inside, seeing furniture and merchandise floating around. "Hello?"
There is a man with curly hair laying onto of a counter top. "El-low."
"Ummm...do you have any rafts or something to navigate in this...flood?"
The man sat up, looking around the flooded room. "Good luck finding."
Jonna sighs, wading through the store, searching for a raft. "Did you see something strange in the forest? Like where this water's coming from?" She feels something soft between two boxes on a small shelf that's almost underwater.
"Nooo... Tuukka don't know where water is from."
Jonna pulls out a white pony with orange hair and blue hooves. "What is this?"
Tuukka turns to look at Jonna; he gasps excitedly. "Pony!"
Jonna hops over to Tuukka, handing him pony. "Here..."
"Pony!!!" Tuukka hugs the pony tightly while it makes squeaking noises. "I go grab jet ski. Let's go." He grabs a floating table and gets on it, making his way to the back of the room.
"Wait, can you see if there's more--"
Lots of splashing and cacophony cuts into her sentence.
She turns around quickly, seeing a man trying to get into the trading post, but couldn't due to a shelf clogging the doorway. "Oh, let me help you with that." Jonna wades over to the entrance and pulls out the shelf, letting it smash into the water. "Okay, you can come in."
The guy swims in, looking around the room. He has wavy, dirty blond hair and blue eyes. "Well, there goes the carrots, dude."
"Carrots?" Jonna makes a confused look.
"Yea, man, I'm here for carrots...and a canoe, dude. Who the heck bursted the pipe, man?"
Jonna giggles at the joke. "My brother did--the King."
"The King deluged the kingdom, dude?" The guy makes a shocked look.
"Practically, yes."
"Oh, well, I saw where the water's coming from, man."
"Really? Where?"
"Yea, at the Alppien Mäki, dude." (Alpine Hill)
"Ohmygosh, take me there!"
"Well, um--"
Tuukka comes back into the room on a black and yellow jet ski with his pony. "Ooo, more people!"
"Did you find a raft?" Jonna asks.
"I need a canoe, man." the guy says.
"Uhhh...okay." Tuukka zooms back into the storage room. A few seconds later, he comes back out with a canoe. "Here is canoe." He plops in down in front of the guy. "Four hundred fifty euros."
"Four hundred fifty euros, dude‽ That's insane, man! I don't have enough money for that, dude! All I got is one hundred; help me out, man..."
"I'll buy it for you, because I am the Princess of Finland," Jonna says with royalty.
Tuukka gasps. "You are princess! You go have canoe. Siirry, siirry, siirry!" (Go, go, go!)
"Okay, thank you." Jonna gives him a bag of money. "C'mon, take me to the Alppien Mäki." She climbs onto the canoe with the guy in front of her. They paddle out of the trading post and into the dawn.
"So what is your name?" Jonna asks as they are paddling together.
"Patrick, dude. And now I know that you're Jonna of Finland, man."
"Yup! Thank you for helping me out."
"Ah, no prob, dude. I just can't live like this. So, what made the King flood the whole kingdom, man?"
"Well, I met a really nice guy and he asked me to marry him so I said yes and we asked him to bless our marriage, but then he got all mad and--"
"Wait, you were gonna marry a dude you just met, man?"
"Yes, weren't you listening? So, he started to ask me what I knew about true love and I said that he doesn't know anything about that since he just isolates himself as a living and--"
"Weren't you taught anything about strangers, dude?"
"Yes." Jonna scoots away from Patrick a bit. "But still, he just got mad and blasted water everywhere and just left into the forest!"
"Do you know anything about the guy, man? What is his full name, dude?"
"Jimmy Howard."
"Middle name."
"Probably John."
"Favorite food?"
"Chocolate, of course!"
"Color eyes?"
"Gray." Jonna smiles dreamingly.
"Shoe size?"
"Shoe size doesn't matter."
"Still, you don't know everything about that dude, man."
"Well, I can still marry him if it's true love."
"Wait--"
"Wait, what?"
"Look, dude." Patrick points to a tall hill in the distance. "The Alppien Mäki."
Jonna gawks at the hill. "We have to go that far?"
"Do you wanna stop this flood, man, or what?"
Jonna sighs. "Alright, let's go."

Meanwhile back by the gates, Jimmy is on a kayak, giving away inflatable rafts and towels, when something catches his eye in the water.
He places his paddle onto of the kayak and plunges his hand in the water, pulling out a deflated raft. "Jonna?" He looks around. "Guards! This is Jonna's raft! I need to go after her!"
"I'll go with you!" a guard with black hair shouts.
"Same here!" another guard with brown spiky hair and some facial hair calls out.
"I come!" a guard with a missing tooth says in a robotic-like voice.
"Okay, great. To the forest! Let's go!!!" Jimmy paddles out of the gates with his guards behind him.

"Wow, this is so nice," Jonna says, seeing the blue, calm water by her side.
"Yup, man."
Then they heard some bubbling from behind.
"What's that?" Jonna asks, getting frightened.
"I dunno, dude..." Patrick turns around, seeing bubbles coming out from behind his canoe. "Hello, man?"
Hands come out from the water, grabbing onto the edge of the canoe.
"AAAAAHHHHHH!!!" Patrick falls back, pointing his paddle at whatever's climbing aboard.
The person gags and sputters out water with his brown hair covering his face. "Oh my Bubbys, who knew I could survive a flood like this!!"
"Who are you, dude?" Patrick asks with his paddle still out.
"Oh, I'm Sidney and I love gorillas! Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh!!!"
Jonna and Patrick exchange looks. "What are you doing on my canoe, man?"
"Trying to survive! The King can do some powerful things!"
"Do you know how to get there?" Jonna asks.
"Oh yea, I was just at his castle! It's so cool!" Sidney sits down, making himself comfortable.
"Wait, Antti has his own castle?"
"Yea! Made out of solid water!!!"
"Lead us the way!"
"Hey, I know the way, dude!" Patrick snaps.
"Well, I know the short cut! Let's us do this thing!!!" He pulls out a small, stuffed gorilla. "C'mon, Bubby Jr., help us paddle!" He grabs a paddle and begins paddling hard.
Jonna and Patrick continue paddling up to Antti's castle.
