Ever since Mio heard about the missing belongings of other terras, they decided to be a helpful friend and help search for the lost belongings. As Mio looked around in the lush woodlands where they had met the "odd plants," they noticed a gloomy shadow had been cast upon them. Mio glanced upward and noticed a flying ship. They stared at the ship in shock, their first time ever seeing such a beauty. The UFO was huge, metallic, and even luminary. Mio wondered what the ship was doing here. After all, this was nowhere a giant ship should be seen. Then, they remembered, these were the ships that had taken away all the other terras' belongings!

Mio quickly snapped out of their trance and tried to think of what to do. Just then, they were being sucked towards the ship! Trying to figure out a way to stay on land, they grabbed the tree branch that felt strong enough to hold them and gripped it tight. Mio was being sucked away into the UFO, yet they still tried to hold on. When the gravitational pull finally loosened on them, they plummeted into the ground, with mud sloshing all over them. Mio crawled out of the ditch and quickly tried to clean themselves up, digging a wet towel from the bag they had carried along with them. As they sat there, Mio decided that they would search around the woods for more information, maybe even some belongings.

After sitting for a while and feeling uneasy, Mio stood up, stretched, and then searched the area. As expected, Mio found a locket and a satchel. Feeling proud, Mio decided to continue further into the woods, even though it was getting dark and they didn't have much light. They wanted to be helpful, so they overcame their wariness. Mio reluctantly searched in the underbrush, on trees, on the ground, and everywhere else for the missing belongings, but found only a few. The breeze picked up, and the sun had already set. It was time for Mio to head home. They put all the missing things in their bag and trudged out of the woods, feeling tired and slow. However, they decided to leave the woods, set up a small stand, and possibly give away some of the things they had found. Thinking about their plan, Mio cheerfully skipped away with the bag slung over their shoulder.
