On the road, there was a little green buggy called the Looney Duney that had Augie, April, Monica, Skip, and a bulldog named Elmo. They were driving to the city.
"Why do we have to go to this Cartoon Network City?" Monica asked as she was looking in her compact mirror.
"Because I thought it would be nice for us to get out for a while and hang out with some new people." April replied.
"I thought we were going somewhere nice," Monica scoffed and rolled her eyes. "Like Miami Beach."
"Aw, come on, cous, you'll have some fun here." Skip replied.
"You all better hope so or else I'll complain." Monica replied.
"Like you do anything else?" April muttered under her breath.
"What was that?" Monica asked.
"Oh, nothing." April replied.
"Come on, girls, let's just try to have fun." Skip smiled.
"He's right, and according to the map, we should be ther soon." Augie added.
"Maybe I could meet some cute boys." Monica smiled hopefully.
"I'm sure you will." April rolled her eyes.
"Look, guys," Skip pointed out to a sign. "'Cartoon Network City, 10 miles'."
"Groovy!" April smiled.
"About time too!" Augie smiled. "This is gonna be a great vacation!"
The group then cheered as they headed down for Cartoon Network City.
"This'll be a nice trip, I just know it." Skip smiled to them.
"Oh, but of course it will be, some boy will be lucky to have me as their girlfriend." Monica giggled.
"And it'll be nice to see Alexandra again." April added.
"Oh, that's right, your new friend." Augie replied.
"Yes, I'm looking forward to hanging out with her," April smiled. "She wanted me to introduce her to some of her girl friends too."
"Look, there it is." Monica said once they found another sign.
"'Welcome to Cartoon Network City'." Skip read aloud.
"Wow! Look at how big this town is," Augie commented. "Looks like a whole lot of people live here!"
"Well, it is a city." Skip clarified.
"Attention, citizens! Monica Gilroy is finally here! You may hold your applause no longer!" Monica announced as she came out.
The citizens just stared blankly at her.
"Um... Hello?" Monica blinked.
"Nice going." April muttered to her.
"One of these days, April!" Monica warned.
"Hey, look, there's a restaurant," Skip noticed. "'Pop's Diner'. Let's get something to eat."
"Finally, I'm starving." Monica said.
Augie stopped their buggy and everyone got out.
"Boy, that was a long ride, but we made it." April said as she took a stretch.
The others stretched along with her as it was a long trip.
"I could eat just about anything." Skip said.
They then went into Pops' Dinner.
"Hiya, folks, I haven't seen you all around here before." Pops greeted.
"We're just visiting." April replied.
"Well, come on in, and take a load off." Pops smiled to them.
The Funky Phantom group smiled back before they came in to sit down.
"What can I get you folks?" Pops asked them.
"I'll take a double cheeseburger with fries and a milkshake and get a T-bone steak for Elmo." Augie replied.
"Make that two, only, I'll have a root beer instead of fries." Skip added.
"Get me a hot dog with onion rings and a root beer float." Monica added.
"I'll take chicken strips with Mozzarella sticks and a Pepsi." April concluded with a smile.
"Coming right up!" Pops smiled back to them and left to carry out their order.
The group smiled as Pops took their orders before going off again.
"Gosh, look at the people around here," Skip commented as he looked all around. "They seem to be mighty fine people."
At the other table, Eddy and Duncan put their hands on the last chicken wing.
"It's mine, Duncan!" Eddy glared.
"Sorry, Shorty, but it's mine," Duncan replied before holding the chicken wing in the air out of his reach. "But if you want it, come and get it."
Eddy then jumped up and down to get it.
"Duncan, can't you behave for once?" Justin sighed.
"I am, pretty boy." Duncan replied.
"Come on, Duncan, let me have it!" Eddy complained.
"Only if you say that 'Duncan is really awesome, and I worship him'." Duncan smirked.
"You're no fun." Eddy complained.
"Fine, then I guess you don't want this chicken wing." Duncan smirked.
"Okay, okay, fine," Eddy rolled his eyes. "Duncan Nelson is really awesome and I worship him."
"Hmm... Now I gotta think about it." Duncan said.
"Hey! We had a deal!" Eddy replied.
"I need a vacation..." Justin sighed to himself.
"You really need to loosen up, Pretty Boy." Duncan told him.
"Mike won't like it when she finds out that you're messing with Eddy." Justin replied.
"But Mike isn't here," Duncan smirked. "She went camping with Lu and Og, so she won't know anything."
"She'll know." Justin said.
"Why? You gonna tell on me?" Duncan asked.
"She's got eyes and ears everywhere, dude." Justin reminded.
"Meh." Duncan shrugged.
Eddy soon took the chicken wing and ate it before Duncan could do anything about it.
"Who are those people?" Augie asked.
"I have no idea, but that guy with the piercings seems kinda scary." Skip replied.
"And that short kid looks like the type who would trick people." Augie added.
"That other boy looks nice," April said. "Maybe I should talk with them and get acquainted. Who knows? They could be nice despite what they look like."
"Good luck with that." Monica muttered.
April just gave her a look before she walked up to the three boys with a smile. "Hi there. I'm April Stewart."
Eddy, Duncan, and Justin looked over as she looked beautiful.
"Hi there, April," Justin replied. "I can't say I've seen you around here before."
"I'm visiting with some friends." April smiled.
"I'm Eddy Sampson," Eddy grinned. "If you need anything, feel free to call me."
April giggled and then bent down to his height. "Well, aren't you the cutest little thing?"
"Um... Thanks." Eddy replied.
"Oh, sure, she can call him little, but if we do it, it's wrong." Duncan nudged Justin with a smirk.
"I love kids, especially little ones." April smiled as she then picked up Eddy before hugging him tightly.
Eddy soon turned red and smiled goofily.
"Where are you from?" Justin asked April. "I don't think I've seen you in Cartoon Network City before."
"Actually, my friends and I are visiting for a little vacation," April replied. "I'm here to see my new friend, Alexandra Cabot. Do you know her?"
"Oh, sure, we know her," Justin said. "She's one of our new group members."
"Oh, you guys have a group too?" April asked.
"...Yeah?" Duncan replied.
"We're the best group in this city, we call ourselves The Howling Wolves," Eddy added. "I'm the leader."
"No, you're not." Duncan rolled his eyes.
"Eddy... Why do you always have to lie?" Justin sighed.
"Shh! Why do you have to ruin my moment?" Eddy replied.
Justin just rolled his eyes to that.
"So who's really the leader?" April asked.
"Our friend Mike, but she's camping out this weekend." Duncan said.
"She left me in charge." Eddy said.
"No, she didn't." Justin told him.
"Oh, yeah? Well, June isn't in town and neither is Sky," Eddy replied. "So who else could possibly be left in charge?"
"Me." Justin stated.
"Huh?!" Duncan and Eddy replied.
"I hope you enjoy your stay in the city," Justin said. "I'm sorry about Duncan and Eddy, they always act like this. It seems like they never learn their lesson."
"Boys," April rolled her eyes. "Oh, no offense." she then said.
"None taken." Justin told her.
"Where would I find Alexandra?" April asked.
"She usually comes in with my sister and my girlfriend," Justin said. "It shouldn't take too long for them to come in."
"Thank you, and it was nice meeting you." April replied.
"Nice meeting you too." Justin smiled politely.
April smiled back and headed back to her table.
"Nice girl." Justin commented.
"Okay, we got a question for you." Duncan said.
"Yeah?" Justin replied.
"Why would Mike put you in charge?!" Eddy asked.
"Because I'm not a liar who would boss other people around just because I have a big ego?" Justin replied.
"And who would do something like that?" Duncan retorted.
Justin just sent them both a deadpan look.
"They seem nice enough." April commented as she came back to her friends.
"That Hawaiian guy is cute though." Monica smiled.
"He has a girlfriend." April told her.
"He looks like the kind of guy who could use two." Monica replied.
"I don't think that's a good idea, Monica," April said. "Besides, his girlfriend wouldn't like that."
"You're no fun, April." Monica replied.
"It's not my job to be fun." April told her.
"Whatever," Monica rolled her eyes. "I'm just here to have fun."
Then, eventually, Alexandra with her new adoptive sister were talking to Justine and Jayna as they were going inside of the diner.
"There she is." April smiled once she saw Alexandra.
"There's your friend," Monica said. "Why does she have a white stripe in her hair though?"
"Monica, be nice." April replied.
"She's very nice, Kasey, I'm sure you'll like her," Alexandra said before holding out three fingers. "How many fingers do you see?"
"Three." Kasey smiled once she was given much better glasses.
"Right!" Alexandra smiled back.
"How is it living with Alexandra then?" Justine asked Kasey.
"She's the best big sister ever," Kasey smiled. "Even better than Chrissy!"
"Now, Kasey, I don't want you to think about Chrissy or Barb and Lance or anyone from your old family again," Alexandra said. "As far as I'm concerned, we're family. Hopefully Josie and the gang will come over again sometime and you can meet them, and my brother, Alexander."
"You think that they will like me?" Kasey asked.
"I'm sure they would," Alexandra smiled. "Especially Josie's little sister, Tabitha."
"Alexandra!" April's voice called.
"Huh? Oh! Hey, April!" Alexandra smiled once she saw her newest friend.
The two girls came up to each other before hugging since it had been a while since they last met each other, but this time, they could now hang out together.
"It's good to see you," April smiled. "Say, who are your friends there?"
"These are my good friends: Justine Reid and Joanna," Alexandra introduced. "And this is my new adoptive little sister, Kasey."
"Hi, there." Justine smiled.
"It's nice to meet you." Jayna added.
"Good to see you all," April smiled. "This is a nice looking city."
"It can be sometimes." Justine smiled back.
"Hmm... I feel like I've seen you in magazines." April said to Justine.
"That doesn't surprise me." Justine replied.
"Oh, I'm sorry, you don't wanna talk about it?" April frowned in concern.
"Oh, no, it's okay, those careers are just over for me, thank goodness." Justine said.
"Too much pressure?" April asked.
"You have no idea... I'll tell you about it later on." Justine said.
"Fair enough, it's nice to meet you though." April smiled.
"Same here," Justine smiled back. "I love your outfit. It really brings out your eyes."
"Aw, thank you, and I love your outfit," April replied. "Especially the necklace. It suits you."
"Thank you." Justine smiled.
Alexandra and Kasey smiled to this as it was working out really well so far.
"Well, these are my good friends," April said. "Augie Anderson and Skip Gilroy, and that's their cousin, Monica Gilroy, and our dog, Elmo."
"Charmed." Monica said as she applied make-up while holding her handheld mirror.
"Hmm... Yeah..." Justine replied.
"Really charmed." Jayna added.
"I'm sorry, her mirror is her only real friend." April said to her new friends.
"Some people say my brother used to be like that." Justine replied.
"Your brother?" April asked.
"Yeah, his name's Justin, he's right over there actually with our other friends, Duncan and Eddy." Justine pointed out.
"Oh, I've met him earlier actually," April smiled. "He seems like a pretty decent guy."
"He really is... He reminds me of what I remember about my father." Justine said.
"Hmm... That must be nice..." April said softly, trying to hide some sadness when Justine mentioned about a father.
"Uh, are you okay?" Justine asked out of concern.
"Huh? Oh, yes, I'm fine." April replied.
"I didn't say anything wrong, did I?" Justine asked.
"Forget about it, I'm fine." April said softly.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Why, hello there, strangers." A voice said.
"Oh, great," Alexandra groaned. "It's the three wicked witches and their pet monkey."
April looked to see Heather, Courtney, Maya, and Amy smiling at her. "Uh... H-Hi...?"
"I'm Heather Wong, and welcome to Cartoon Network City." Heather said.
"...Mm..." April glanced like she felt like she couldn't trust these guys.
Monica looked up from her mirror as Heather, Courtney, Maya, and Amy came over.
"Where did you come from?" Courtney asked.
"Well, I-" April blinked.
"Where did you get your outfit?" Maya asked.
"I got it from-" April muttered.
"Uh-huh, that's nice, and how did you get your hair like that?" Amy asked.
"My-" April tried.
"That's super!" Amy replied.
"Are you gonna listen to me?!" April complained.
"Okay, bye now, this wasn't fun." Jayna said, trying to shoo the mean girls away.
"Hey, we're trying to make friends with, um, what's your name?" Courtney replied.
"April." The blonde girl stated.
"Why would you wanna be friends with someone nice?" Jayna asked.
"I can't believe you would think such a thing!" Heather let out a fake gasp. "All we're trying to do is to be friends with our guest."
"I'm not buying it." Alexandra replied.
April seemed to disappear once the girls were talking.
"Yeah, you wouldn't know anything about being mean, would you, Alexandra?" Maya replied. "I mean, why don't we ask your friends Josie, Valerie, and Melody?"
"Why? So they can prove you wrong since we're all friends now?" Alexandra rolled her eyes.
"Why don't you girls get lost?" Justine added.
"Fine, but soon enough, April will become one of us, and there won't be a thing you can do to stop us," Heather replied. "Come on, girls. Let's get out of here."
"Good luck with that." Jayna rolled her eyes.
The four girls soon walked off.
"Why do they always try to befriend innocent people who visit the city and make us the bad guys?" Alexandra complained.
"That's just how mean girls work," Justine rolled her eyes. "Trust me, Heather tried the same thing on me before when I first moved here."
"Say, where did April go?" Jayna asked.
"I'm right here." April's voice said.
The girls looked around for a bit until April seemed to appear from nowhere like she had turned invisible.
"Holy, cow! How did you do that?" Alexandra asked.
"Uh, do what?" April asked.
"You know, turn invisible." Jayna said.
"...I wasn't invisible," April looked away. "Uh, I was just hiding behind that tree the whole time."
The three girls looked at each other, not believing her, but shrugged it off for now.
"Sorry about them," Justine said. "You gotta watch out for those girls. They are some of the meanest girls in school."
"It's okay," April replied. "I kinda figured that they were."
"It's okay," Justine coaxed. "I was just like that too until I met my friends and the love of my life."
"That's so sweet," April said. "Hey, I left my phone in the buggy, I'll be right back."
"We'll be right here." Alexandra replied.
April soon walked off, leaving them alone.
"Okay, she totally turned invisible, I'm not crazy." Alexandra said to her friends.
"We all saw it." Jayna said.
"You don't think she's a meta-human, do you?" Justine asked.
"Well, how else would she turn invisible?" Alexandra shrugged. "I mean, you guys did a test on me and found out about the gamma radiation in my blood I got from my mom."
"Well, we can't just go up to her and say 'Hey, April, we saw you turn invisible, how did you do that?'." Jayna replied.
"I know, but look, we'll wait until she gets comfortable with us, then maybe she'll tell us herself." Alexandra suggested.
"What do we do until then?" Justine asked.
"Don't even think about it." Jayna advised.
"She's right," Alexandra agreed. "She will tell us when she feels more comfortable."
"All right." Justine replied.
They soon looked around.
"Uh, so how about those New York Yankees?" Alexandra smiled bashfully.
"Who watches football?" Justine added.
"Oh, I hope that the Patriots don't go to the Super Bowl again." Jayna said.
Everyone else then looked to them, thinking that they were crazy.
"What's taking her so long?" Alexandra groaned.
Kasey looked up to Alexandra.
