A/N: Wasn't sure about this kind of crossover story at first but after catching up on an old gem of a cartoon, I decided to give it a shot.
The voices were blurred… one was speaking in gibberish but she could tell it wasn't human. The other one was however and very concerned for 18 year old Carly's well being.
"Oh my!" The woman says, carefully picking the disoriented brunette up and taking her to the small house. Out of the corner of her opening eyes, Carly swore she saw a pink dog following after them.
"Eustace, could you please go get some wet towels?" The woman asks a man sitting in a red and white chair.
"Who the heck is she?!" Eustace snarled, clearly not taking too kindly to seeing Carly as Courage set up a pillow for Carly's wounded head.
"Eustace, that's not very nice!" The woman says in a light Scottish accent before helping Carly lie down on the couch. "It's alright, dear. Just rest up." She says, Courage once again speaking in gibberish as he pulled a blanket over Carly.
"Wh… where am I? And who are..." Carly asks, trailing off slightly.
"I'm Muriel… and you ended up outside the house. Shoved out of a moving vehicle, it would seem." The woman says, Courage returning with wet towels and a first aid kit. "Thank you, Courage." She says, wiping the dried blood off of Carly arms and head.
Carly tried to remember what exactly happened… last thing she remembered was arguing with Trevor about being too close to Johnny and it wasn't too hard to guess how Trevor found out.
K8lynn clearly couldn't keep her mouth shut and had taken matters into her own hands all because Carly didn't want Trevor in her life… the next time Carly found K8lynn, she was gonna rip the blonde's head off.
It was as Carly tried to sit up that Muriel carefully stopped her.
"Now, now, you're in no condition to be walking around, dearie… just rest up and before you know it, you'll be right as rain." Muriel says, Carly feeling comforted by the motherly tone of Muriel's voice.
Courage climbed up next to Carly and rested his head on her right side, right where her ribcage is, Carly reaching out and petting him.
"Such a sweet little dog." Carly says.
"He's a stupid dog, kid!" Eustace snarls, Carly glaring at the elderly farmer.
"You should be nicer to your pet, people who abuse animals are twisted!" Carly says, Eustace about to attack her but was hit upside the head by a rolling pin and looked, seeing Muriel.
"What did I do?!" Eustace asks.
"The young lady is right, you need to be nicer to Courage!" Muriel says, Eustace muttering angrily and storming out of the house.
'He seems like a senile version of Trevor!' Carly thought.
"Stupid dog! Stupid animal loving kid!" Eustace grumbled as he opened the door to his pickup and got in it, starting it up and driving off furiously and narrowly hitting Johnny.
Johnny drove towards the house and stopped his Hexer, shutting the engine off and pocketing the keys before standing up and running to the door. After a knock, the door opened and Muriel looked up at him.
"Excuse me, ma'am, have you seen-" Johnny starts to ask, Carly sitting up carefully and Muriel letting Johnny in so the two could hug and kiss.
At the same time, Eustace sped towards his favorite diner when he slammed on his brakes and narrowly avoided crashing into Di Lung and Trevor… but they weren't so lucky, the vehicles they were driving colliding with each other and both getting out.
"Watch where you're going, ya fool!" Di Lung shouts, Trevor grabbing him by his shirt.
"Why don't you watch where you're going, ya fool!" Trevor yells before repeatedly bashing Di Lung's head against the cherry red convertible, Trevor dropping the bleeding and unconscious Di Lung to the ground before seeing Eustace and turning his rage towards him.
Eustace let out a startled scream as Trevor yanked him out of the truck and pinning him against the driver's door.
"A bald biker prick come driving by here?!" Trevor demands.
"What's yer offer?!" Eustace asks bravely.
"My offer is not stabbing you in the face and then doing funny things to your corpse! Have you seen him?!" Trevor yells after punching Eustace.
"No!" Eustace says, Trevor letting him go.
"Thank you for your honesty!" Trevor shouts before heading back to his Bodhi and jumping in it, driving off.
He knew Johnny was on his trail and he knew why… after all, he was the one who unleashed hell on Carly and Johnny after finding out about them.
After finding out, Trevor saw nothing but rage… and it all went hazy from there.
But he had the feeling both were still alive… and he wanted to make sure no one else knew what he did.
