Chilly had been furious because Aaloo was supporting Koko. Upset, Chilly had left the competition and gone home. However, Aaloo didn’t go to check on him, which made Chilly even more upset. Chilly tricked Parsley and flew off to Theo’s Café. Now, let us hear from Parsley about what happened next…

If Chilly wanted to drink that chilly milkshake, he really shouldn’t have let me know that it was there in the fridge! He was so naive! I went and gulped the whole thing down. I returned to the living room only to find out that Chilly had disappeared.

Where had Chilly gone? I searched everywhere in and around the house, but I couldn’t find him anywhere.

Huh? Where had Chilly flown off to? Where should I look for him? Aaloo had told me to bring Chilly to the party. I got anxious and flew to the lake. The competition had just ended. Giffy said with tears in his eyes, “Koko sings well, but better than his voice, his words…” Before he could finish his sentence, he started to cry uncontrollably. Theo’s hat got drenched with Giffy’s tears. Theo said to him, “Don’t cry! We’ll take Koko with us on our next adventure, and we’ll become best friends with her!” 

I looked around for Aaloo and saw him talking to Koko.

Koko was saying, “Aaloo, thank you, but you didn’t need to stay back for me. Chilly is very upset. Me on the other hand, I’m used to…”

Aaloo interrupted her, “Chilly is my best friend! He’ll understand. Don’t worry. From now on, you’re my friend, and Chilly’s too!”

Koko felt deeply moved and started to cry. “You know Aaloo, Chilly is a natural-born singer. Even though he started singing much later than I did, he sings better than me. Had he not got upset and changed his song, he would’ve won the competition today!”Hearing this warmed my heart. Though she was the competition winner, Koko was praising my brother Chilly. Still I couldn’t help interrupting to say “If you think about it, Koko has a couple more years of being the best singer. Once I start singing, then I’ll take over as the best singer.” Upon hearing this, Aaloo’s eyes widened in shock. I don’t know why!

He asked, “What are you doing here? Where is Chilly?”

Oh dear, I had briefly forgotten why I had gone there. “Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. Chilly has disappeared. I went looking for him, but I couldn't find him anywhere. Where could he have gone?”

Aaloo said, “Once Chilly gets tired of flying, he’ll definitely want something cold to drink from Theo’s Café.” Aaloo knew my brother better than I did. I felt like I should place an ad in the newspaper with Aaloo’s photo, asking for a best friend like him.

I was thinking about a catchy heading for the ad when Aaloo suddenly said, “Koko, please come to the party!” Hearing this, I thought, ‘Aaloo is so generous, but this might upset Chilly even more. Their friendship might fall apart!’ I whispered to Aaloo, “Chilly is still in a bad mood, so let it be!” Koko seemed to share my thoughts and also said, “No, Aaloo, let it be.”

But Aaloo pretended he hadn’t heard anything. He put on his skates and said with a big smile, “Let’s see who gets there first!” And he sped off.
