Well, looks like it's time for another adventure in Central City with Mudsy the Funky Phantom and his friends! Let's what they are up to this time!

It was another typical morning in Central City, which as always, begins in Skip and Augie's bedroom.

Elmo was sleeping on his doggy bed, ever so peacefully. Just then, Boo flew right towards Elmo, where he proceeded to spray the bulldog's paw with shaving cream. Boo snickered and tickled Elmo's nose with the feather in his hat. Elmo felt the itch and proceeded t scratch it, but instead got splattered with the shaving cream in his paw.

Elmo felt the cream on his face and woke up.

Boo snickered. Elmo turned up, growled and started chasing Boo around the room.

Boo continued to snicker as Elmo chased him around. Elmo kept trying to catch Boo, but that cat kept disappearing every single time, causing Elmo to crash into shelves, paintings, and walls. Boo kept snickering as Elmo ran around and kept crashing into items in the room.

All this ruckus caused Augie, Skip, and the Funky Phantom go awake from their infernal slumber.

"Five more minutes, mama..." Augie said as he turned around in his bed.

Boo then appeared on Skip's stomach and made a face at Elmo.

Elmo growled, rolled up his furry sleeves, and charged right towards Boo to pounce on him. He leaped up and was about to grab Boo, when the ghost cat vanished again and appeared right on the window ledge next to Skip. Just as Elmo was about to finally catch that mean old puddy tat, Boo opened up the window, causing Elmo to fly right out the window and land in the bushes down below.

Boo snickered as Mudsy stretched and floated to his cat.

"Morning, Boo." Mudsy said as Boo leaped into his arms. "What was that racket?"

"Meow." Boo shrugged as if he was saying, "Just the wind."

"Well that makes sense...whatever you probably said." Mudsy remarked.

At that same time, Skip was stretching as he reluctantly got off his bed.

"Morning everyone..." he yawned.

Augie then woke up and looked around. "Hey...has anyone seen Elmo?"

"Beats me..." Mudsy yawned. "I've been tuckered out. Tuckered in, even..."

Skip and Augie shared a look with each other.

"Lets just get dressed." Mudsy deadpanned.

The boys got dressed up and started to eat some cereal in the kitchen.

"You know boys, I still can't believe that you young people eat that awful corn syrup-infested slop!" Mudsy remarked. "Back in my day, we had fresh food for breakfast such as pancakes or eggs! Not this...sugary, fake stuff!"

"That's the 21st century for you, old buddy." Skip said as he ate another spoonful.

Augie shrugged as he finished his cereal.

"So, what do you wanna do today?" asked Mudsy.

"I dunno. Wanna watch TV?" Augie replied.

"Got nothing better to do." Skip shrugged.

The three then headed to the living room and sat down to watch television.

Meanwhile over at April's house, April and Maria were reading some sort of magazine together.

April sighed as she flipped a page.

"So, what do you wanna today, April?" Maria sighed.

"Wanna eat some pizza?" April boringly suggested.

"Nah..." Maria sighed. "Wanna go to the arcade?"

"Nah..." April shook her head.

"Bowling?" Maria asked again.

"Forget it..." April turned another page.

"Ugh!" Maria slapped her forehead. "Life is so boring when there is just two of us! Without our wingman, Brenda, we are just the Three Musketeers without the third guy!"

"Yeah." April nodded. "Look at the guys. With Mudsy, Skip and Augie, they aren't living the boring life like we are."

"Just like the Three Stooges." Maria sighed.

"That's it! We need to find a new wingman!" April proclaimed.

"But how are we going to do that?" asked Maria.

"Good question..." April said as she flipped through the pages. "...There's a quiz here in the magazine on how to find your ideal wingman."

"Well that's convenient." Maria remarked. "What does it say?"

"Let's see now..." April paused her lips as she spread the magazine flat out.

She read the magazine. "To find your ideal wingman, you must search for a person who may seem curious, loyal, new to the neighborhood, and looking for a friend to hang out with."

"Jeepers. That seems like a bit of a toughie." said Maria. "There really aren't any new girls in town right now."

"No kidding." April nodded.

"I guess we can find some shy girls and hold auditions for them." Maria suggested.

"Works for me." April shrugged.

Maria nodded as she flipped another page of the magazine.

"Here's a quiz for the wingman qualification..." she pointed at the page. "We can give this to the girls when they audition."

"Come on! Let's go!" said April.

The girls headed out to find some girls from school.

Back at the Anderson house, Mudsy and the boys were still watching television when suddenly, the doorbell rang.

"Skip, go get the door!" Augie yawned.

"Can't you get it, Augie?" asked Skip.

"I would, but my hands are tied." Augie said as he ate out of a bag of chips.

Skip groaned as he got up from his seat and made his way to the front door.

He walked over to the door and at the front door were none other than Mudsy's only two living relatives, Brittany and Kate.

"Oh, hello Brittany, hello Kate." Skip greeted them.

"Hi Skip." The sisters smiled.

"Can we help you?" asked Skip.

"Yes. Could you guys look after Kate?" asked Brittany. "I need to go to work for the entire day and her daycare is closed today."

"I don't know. I'll have to take that up with the Funky Phantom." said Skip.

"Okay." Brittany nodded.

"Oh Mudsy..." Skip called out.

Just then, Mudsy appeared right next to Skip.

"You bellowed, my liege?" he deadpanned.

"Hey Uncle Mudsy!" said Brittany. "Can you babysit Kate for me while I'm at work?"

"Normally I would decline since I've got enough problems with these two..." said Mudsy. "But since you're family, I might as well. It is the Muddlemore way, after all."

"Good!" Brittany nodded before handing Mudsy a backpack with some toys inside. "These are Brittany's toys and her allergy medicine! If anything goes wrong, please call me!"

"A phantom's honor, privilege even!" Mudsy proclaimed.

"Right, then." Brittany nodded again.

Just then, her watch started beeping and flashing.

"Yikes! I had better get to work!" She looked at her watch. "Now Kate, listen to Uncle Mudsy and don't cause any trouble, okay?"

"Okay Brittany." Kate nodded. "I promise."

"Good!" Brittany kissed her sister's nose. "Bye bye!"

She then ran out the door.

As she closed the door behind her, the boys shared a look with each other.

"Well guys, looks like we found something to do today." Skip remarked. "After all, how hard could it possibly be to take care of a little girl?"

Augie arched his eyebrows as he and Mudsy turned to Skip.

In just a few short minutes, Kate started screaming and kicking all over the living room.

"I want Wally! I want Wally!" She screamed.

"Wally's World isn't on right now, Kate!" Skip told her. "Maybe you can watch something?"

"No!" She stomped her foot. "I want Wally!"

Skip turned to Augie and Mudsy and sighed.

"Me and my big mouth." Augie deadpanned.
