Ice Climber: The Search for Grandpa

Chapter 1- Intro

I have 2 reasons for writing this. The first reason is that the ice climbers only have 1 game. (Even though they need a new one...) Second, I just checked the archive and found out that there was only 1 story! So, I just had to do this! But, since this is only the second story in the archive, I'm not sure people would notice this or not. And if you read this, please don't bother to make a story yourself. Popo and Nana need some attention... Enjoy!

It was a nice and quiet night for the Ice Climbers known as Popo and Nana. They had just eaten dinner with their grandfather. Now, they were in the family room sitting on the couch with nothing to do. Popo was looking around trying to find something to do. Nana was lying down in the opposite direction half-asleep. There was a silence in the room for a moment. Noticing this, Popo decided to start a conversation. "Hey Nana,..." He started.

Nana heard him and sat up to face her brother. "Yeah?"

Popo was silent for a few seconds. "Do you think that it has been boring around here lately?" He then asked.

The pink ice climber thought about it. "Yeah, it has... We need a new adventure."

Popo agreed. "Yeah, but since we live in the north pole, it is unlikely to have an adventure here..."

"Well,..." Nana looked up and placed a finger underneath her chin before facing her brother again. "You maybe right... but, and adventure can occur anytime. You never know what can happen..."

The blue ice climber thought about it and nodded in agreement.

They both heard their grandfather came in. So, they turned their heads to him. "Okay, kids. It's time for you two take your showers.

The two responded by getting up from the couch and walking out of the living room. Soon, their grandfather followed them up the stairs. "Such charming kids." He thought to himself while walking to his room. He laid down on his bed and grabbed a book that was sitting on the night stand and opened up the book to read it.

Meanwhile, after a few minutes both of the ice climbers had just finished taking their showers. Popo was in his room lying down on his bed while staring up at the ceiling. He was in his night clothes (Which was a black T-Shirt and black sweat pants.) with his arms behind his head with a sad look on his face. He was thinking about his parents death.

Flashback

Popo and Nana were walking in the snow laughing while they talk. They were having so much fun today. Just then, they saw a woman in a yellow winter clothes running past them with a worried look on her face.

"Hey!" Popo called out to her as the woman stopped and turned around. Popo and Nana ran up to her.

"What's wrong?" Nana asked in concern.

The woman spoke still in her worried expression. "There was a bomb explosion just ahead. Everyone is going to see what happened. You guys should come too."

Popo and Nana looked at each other and then back at the woman nodding their heads. They all ran to see where the explosion was. Up ahead, they saw a lot of North Pole citizens surronding two familiar people. Popo and Nana walked through the crowd to see the two people. They gasped in shock on what they saw. It was their mom and dad. They were lying on the ground lifeless with cuts and bruises on their bodies.

"Who would do such a thing?" A man asked looking at the scene.

"This is terrible." A woman followed.

"Whoever did this should me shameful..." The woman in yell winter clothing said nodding her head.

Popo and Nana looked at each other, then back to take one last look at them. Then, they ran away with tears in their eyes. Everyone looked at them wondering why they were running.

End Flashback

After he thought again about their parents death, Popo sighed. He couldn't believe their parents died from an explosion. Since their parents died, their grandfather had to take care of them. They enjoyed each other's company. But then another thought had crossed the young ice climbers mind. Who caused the explosion? If he and Nana ever find out who did it, they would get their revenge for their parents. He then yawned. So, he turned off his lamp, snuggled under the covers, and closed his eyes to go to sleep.

Nana was in her room thinking about their parents death also. "Who caused it?" She wondered. When their parents died, it was a big downfall for her and Popo's lives. To avoid sadness, she forced herself to think about something else. She remembered what she'd told Popo back in the family room.

"You never know what can happen."

She looked to her opened door to see her grandfather came in. "Are you alright, Nana?" He asked.

"Yeah..." Nana replied. "I was just thinking about something..."

Her grandfather placed his hands behind his back and walked over to her bed.

"Do adventures happen here often?" She asked him.

The grandfather smiled as he sat next to Nana on her bed. "No,... but an adventure can happen if you make one."

Nana raised an eyebrow at him in confusion. She didn't get what he meant. Still, her grandfather walked out of the room saying, "Good night."

"...Night..." The pink ice climber responded as he closed her door. Nana turned out her light as she laid down snuggling in the covers while closing her eyes.

In the middle of the night, Popo and Nana's grandfather had waken up because of a noise. He heard stomping outside. He quickly ran down the stairs and outside the house.

"What the..." He gased at what he saw. It turns out that there was a giant Yeti a few feet from him. It roared causing him to fall back. Before he had time to react, the Yeti grabbed him and stomped away while he squirmed to get free.

Nana woke up in her room because of the roar outside. She stood there in her bed for a moment. But wanting to know what the noise was, she quickly put her winter clothes on ran out of her room to see Popo standing in front her also with his winter clothes on. "You heard the noise too?" She asked him.

"Yeah..." Popo nodded. "Do you know what it was?"

"No..." Nana replied as she shook her head.

The two decided to go to their grandfather's room to see if he was up or not. But when they got there, they noticed that he wasn't in his room.

"...Grandpa?" Popo said calling out to his grandfather.

Nana looked around the room trying to find him. She then turned her head back towards Popo. "I guess we should check downstairs." She suggested as they both ran down the stairs to find him. They splitted up checking the whole house searching for him. After a few minutes of searching, they ran back to the living room.

"Did you find him?" Popo asked.

"No..." Nana said as she looked to her left. Then back at her brother. "We should check the back..."

They walked to the back of the house to see the door open. So, they walked outside to see nothing but darkness and a watch on the ground. Popo picked it up and showed to Nana. "This is his watch..." He said. "I suggest that we look around and meet back here in 5 minutes." He said.

Nana nodded in agreement as they both walked in diffrent directions. Popo looked around himself trying to find his grandfather. He held his watch up to see it. "Where is he?" He wondered. The blue ice climber then heard a familiar voice from afar.

"Popo, come here!" It shouted to him.

Popo thought that obviously, it was Nana. He ran in the opposite direction to meet his sister.
