A/N: Hey guys! :) This is my first CWACOM fanfiction, well, first fanfiction on this site too. There are definitely not enough of these fics though! I hope I will be able to write more in the future, and maybe other people will too! Anyways, this fic takes place a few months after the second movie ends. Here we go!

It was 9:00 in the morning, and Flint Lockwood was fast asleep. He had been up all night, working on his blueprints for the construction of his and his friends' lab, Sparkswood. It was in the process of being built, but delayed due to all of the events that took place a few months prior.

After the whole Chester V incident, all the residents of Swallow Falls banded together to rebuild their town… with the help of the Foodimals, of course.

Many things happened. Homes were fixed, shops opened, and schools rebuilt (much to the children's dismay). It took a large amount of time, (and money), to create a place where the citizens and Foodimals could live together, but the product was ideal. Their town was back to normal, with the outskirts leading to the Foodimals' jungle. Flint's lab was fixed too, along with his old home.

In that span of time, other things had taken place as well. Live Corp was exposed for stealing other people's ideas and claiming them as their own, and the former Thinquanauts were left jobless.

Sam had been called back to New York for a few weeks, and Flint had been lonely with only Steve for company in his lab. But Brent and Earl visited him on occasion, to check up on him or even to question him about Sparkswood.

Flint had fallen asleep while working on a few new inventions, but mainly he had been focused on Sparkswood and its construction. His slumber was interrupted, however, when his phone started to ring.

"FLINT YOU HAVE A CALL, FLINT YOU HAVE A CALL"

"Ugh," Flint groaned, and reluctantly got up. "Hello?"

"Hey Flint! It's Sam!" Flint smiled. "Oh, hey, Sam! What's up?"

"Well, I wanted to check up on you," she said sweetly. "I also have some good news and bad news," Sam stated. "Which do you want to hear first?"

"Ummm, how about the good news?" Flint asked. He wondered what bad news she could possibly have.

"The good news is that I get to go back to Swallow Falls in a week!" Sam excitedly said.

"Sam, that's great!" Flint answered, "But what's the bad news?"

Sam paused. "Do you remember Mayor Shelbourne? And how he went to jail? Well, I guess something happened, and he escaped."

"WHAT?" Flint yelled. "How? And no one saw him escaping?" He was really concerned. Shelbourne had been locked up for so long, and now he was gone? Nothing good could come of it.

"I don't know," Sam replied. "All I've heard is that they went to give him breakfast, and his cell was empty."

Flint sighed. "I just hope they find him. He could easily manipulate people if given the chance. But I think we'll be okay if we tell Earl and everyone else on the island to keep an eye out."

"Yeah I hope so." Sam answered. "Listen, I have to go. I have a report to do in ten. I'll see you soon though. Miss you." She said sadly.

"Me too. But about you." Flint responded, blushing slightly. "Bye Sam."

"Bye Flint."

He hung up, and put a hand on his chin. How could Shelbourne have gotten out of prison? It just didn't make sense. He made a mental note to ask Earl later, and went back to the blueprints from earlier.

However, far away deep in the jungle, Shelbourne was running. He was constantly looking over his shoulder, to make sure he wasn't being followed. He reached a clearing and stopped. He was panting, and began to speak out loud to no one in particular. "I will find you Flint Lockwood, and take what you hold dearest to you," he said, "as payback for getting me jailed and ruining my chance of being one of the biggest mayors in the entire world" he said, scowling and clenching his fists. "But first, I'll need an accomplice."

"I think I may be able to help." A mysterious voice answered.

A/N: Ahhh, sorry for the cliffhanger on the first chapter, but I couldn't find a good ending point. I would really appreciate reviews, and constructive criticism is welcome! I'm always looking for new ways to make my writing better! I hope to update this fic often, my goal is once a week, and I hope that doesn't change! Until next time! –Limey :)
