The next morning, Rebecca is sitting down with her family for breakfast. The Girls are happily eating their favorite meals. Bubbles has a big plate of pancakes with chocolate chip smiley faces(Which Rebecca had given her as a special treat) and piles of whipped cream. Buttercup has a big plate of bacon, eggs, and sausage with a little waffle on the side. For Blossom, she has a big plate of fish, steamed broccoli drizzled with butter, and blueberries with a sprinkling of powdered sugar. Rebecca's little dog Roxi sits beneath the table, eating her favorite dog food from her dish.
As the professor eats his meal of pancakes drizzled with butter and warm syrup, he inquires of Rebecca, "So how was your dinner with Mojo last night, sweet pea?"
"Oh, it was quite wonderful!" Rebecca replies as she eats her meal of scrambled eggs and an asiago cheese bagel that is toasted spread with butter. "We went to a fancy French restaurant with the most delicious food, and Mojo walked me home after dinner. He's such a gentleman."
"Ohh, how sweet!" Bubbles coos.
Rebecca smiles and blushes at the memory. "It was quite lovely, except..." Her voice drops slightly as a look of concern crosses her face.
"Why, what's wrong, dear?" a concerned professor inquires. "Had someone troubled you and Mojo?"
Rebecca brushed a hair behind her ear and said, "Well, no, not exactly. It's just that...when we were walking home, it seemed that someone was following us."
"Following you?" replies an equally concerned Blossom. "What did their footsteps sound like?"
"Well, that's the strange thing," Rebecca replies. "There were no footsteps. It sounded more like...wings flapping."
"Please don't worry, Becca," Buttercup replies consolingly. "It may have just been a bird."
"Yes, probably so." Rebecca replies. As she takes another bite of her bagel, Rebecca muses on why a bird would be out so late, but quickly dismisses the notion on the grounds that it was only a coincidence.
After eating, Rebecca bids her family a kind goodbye and makes her way toward her red Mustang, upon which she quickly drives off toward the park. Once arriving at the park, Rebecca is quickly greeted by Mojo upon stepping out of her car. "Hello, Becca Dear!"
Rebecca waved, "Hi, Mojo!" The two ran towards each other for an embrace, then Mojo picks Rebecca up by the waist and spins her around as they laugh. Setting her back down to her feet, Mojo kissed Rebecca and said, "Glad to see you here. You're just in time to play a little game of monkey in the middle."
Rebecca asked, "You mean the Gang, Deanna, and April are here?"
Mojo nods, "Mmm-hmm. See for yourself."
Glancing toward the center of the park, Rebecca's gaze quickly falls on her friends standing in a circle. As she and Mojo hurry toward them, the group look up to see them. "Hey, guys!" Ace happily greets them.
"Hi, guys!" Deanna greets them, with a polite wave.
"Hi, folksssssss!" Snake politely greets them.
"Howdy, guys!" April greets them kindly.
"Duh, hi, guys!" Billy says with a polite wave.
"Hola, Senorita Becca y Senor Mojo!" Arturo greets them cheerily.
"Thbbht!" Grubber happily razes hello.
"Hi, guys," Rebecca greets them happily. "It's so wonderful to see you!"
"Well, it'ssssss wonderful to sssssee you both, too," Snake replies kindly. "Would you both likesssss to join ussssss for a game of monkeyssssss in the middle?"
"Grubber es the monkey." Arturo adds, motioning toward his friend.
"Phbbht." Grubber razzes, giving his friends a wave.
"Why, yes, please." Rebecca replies.
"We would be most happy, pleased, and delighted to." Mojo adds.
"Coolssss!" Snake replies, upon which Rebecca and Mojo quickly join their friends.
The group was having so much fun that they unfortunately didn't see a mysterious silver grey wolf with eerily glowing eyes moving through the trees. "Enjoy yourselves vile you can, my fools," the wolf hisses. "For zoon your happiness vill take a verrry tragic turn!"
