Ugh. I hope I NEVER have to go back to the sky. This ground is so soft and warm compared to up there.
Droplet hit soil again, and after a while gravity pulled him down into the ground.
Wow! It's so cool, dark, and cozy down here! But what's that...?
Droplet was looking at an opening in the ground where water was slowly dripping into a river! He continued down his path and wound up in the river.
Droplet flowed through the river until he ended up in an ocean.
*Yawn* I hope Bead is alright.
Droplet drifted at sea for a long time. He did not bother to try to make friends with the other drops, as they were gone by the time each drop had said their name. It was very lonely.
*Sigh* *Yawn* *Sigh*
Finally, one day Droplet started to evaporate again. He rose high and then condensed. The wind blew his cloud very far and he was excited for the first time in a while.
Woah! Here we goooooooooooo!
He fell as snow onto a glacier. Then he started to melt into the ice. He knew he would be here for years and years, so he started meeting all the other snowflakes and ice particles.
Hi everyone, I'm-wait...BEAD?! IS THAT YOU?!
They're still happy together, side by side, sitting locked in a glacier, to this day. But to Droplet, it was an amazing break from the evaporation, condensation, and precipitation cycle. The water cycle.
