Meanwhile, Dib was sneaking through the woods to find GIFfany and regroup with her. GIFfany waited as patiently as she could for Dib, looking nearly miserable without him.
Dib was walking towards her location when he spotted a blue trailer with purple windows. "What's a trailer doing in the woods?" he wondered. He looked around, deciding to take a closer look and peeked into one of the windows to see three girls together.
One had curly red hair, the other had long blonde hair, and the final one seemed to have short blue-colored hair.
"What an unusual group..." Dib muttered. "Oh, well; back to finding GIFfany." As he headed off, he didn't notice he stepped on a few fallen branches on the way out, and they cracked loudly when he did.
"Hey! You girls hear that?" A deep, though female voice, snapped.
"Yeah, sounded like a weasel!" A high-pitched female voice replied.
Dib broke out into a cold sweat and made a run for it as the door opened. The three girls soon looked around.
"It's a boy!" The gruff girl told her sisters.
Dib looked back and gulped nervously as he did. The girls soon began to chase after Dib.
"I'm too young to die!" Dib cried out as he tried to run from the girls. "Wait a second...I should have some weapons on hand to defend myself..." he then remarked as he rummaged through his pockets, but didn't find anything on hand.
The girls continued to chase him and soon surrounded him from all directions as there were three of them.
Dib fumbled with his wristwatch as he managed to push a button on it. "Let's hope GIFfany hears this..." he thought as the watch began to send out an ultrasonic signal to the jet.
"What the heck is he doing?" The redhead glared.
"Who cares? Get him!" The blonde huffed. "He came onto our property!"
Dib quickly threw a handful of dirt at them and scrambled to run. Meanwhile, GIFfany had intercepted Dib's signal, but had discovered an interesting secret about her new jet body.
"I don't know what happened, but that kid is dead!" The blue-haired girl scowled.
Dib was still running through the woods. "I can either hope they got tired and went home...or that GIFfany got my signal. Either way, I should be fi-" he started before he tripped over a log and went tumbling into a tree.
The three sisters looked around, glaring and growling.
"We gotta tell Mom to get us a dog, but as of now... MAY! You're the best we got," The redheaded girl demanded before pointing to her blonde sister. "You look for that twerp!"
"Uh, okay!" May nodded as she put her nose to the ground and started sniffing. "He went this way! So what do we do with him when we get him?"
"We gotta teach him a lesson, Kanker style!" The redhead smirked.
"Sounds like fun!" May nodded as she took off, with her sisters following.
Dib groaned as he slid down from the tree slightly after his George of the Jungle moment. Surprisingly, he could've sworn that he heard the distant sound of a jet engine firing up in the distance. "I wonder if that's..." he started.
May soon looked over and grinned. "I think I found him, Lee!"
Dib gulped. "Oh, shazbot..."
The Kanker sisters soon slid down and came after Dib again.
"Someone help!" Dib cried out. "I don't think I can hold them off!"
Suddenly, the air was filled with a loud sound of shifting metal, and in front of Dib stood a tall, robotic being with two large metal wings on its back and a pair of blasters on its wrists.
"...GIFfany?" Dib asked in surprise.
"Hello, Dib... It's so nice to see you... Let me help you." GIFfany told the boy in trouble she had feelings for.
"Wow...thanks..." Dib replied with a blush.
The Kanker Sisters soon came down and bumped up against Dib. They all smirked to him once they caught up with him.
"Uh, guys?" May asked her sisters once she saw GIFfany's new form.
"Say hello to mah leetle friend!" Dib remarked with a smirk.
GIFfany soon towered over the Kanker sisters. The three of them gulped nervously.
"Whoa..." Dib whispered.
"I think you three should leave this boy alone." GIFfany threatened.
"What happens if we don't wanna?" Lee asked.
GIFfany then fired a warning shot at the ground, leaving a smoking crater. "And next time I won't miss." she replied.
The Kanker Sisters soon ran away from Dib and GIFfany.
"Dib... You okay?" GIFfany soon asked once they were alone.
"Yeah...thanks for the assist." Dib smiled.
"I will always be there for you." GIFfany comforted him.
Dib blushed at this. "Wow..."
The Kanker Sisters ran into their trailer, but they glared as they decided to come back for Dib later, finding him to be a target.
The others were still hiking, well, those who were able to anyway, as Dr. Carmichael seemed to be as perfect and amazing with exceptional talents just as much as her daughter Susie was.
"I guess this is kinda nice." LJ remarked as he looked at the view.
"My mother is a sucker for nature, especially her garden." Kimberly smiled to LJ.
"Hmm...it's overrated, but I like it when it's peaceful like this." Chrissy nodded.
Later on, everyone came to the docks to try out some water sports. By then, GIFfany had managed to take on a less conspicuous humanoid form. Dib blushed to it.
"How do I look?" GIFfany asked him as she adjusted her dress.
"...amazing." Dib remarked.
Cherry soon looked to GIFfany. "...You look familiar somehow..." she said as she passed by to go into the boat so that Chuckie could try out jet-skiing.
"Yeah," Lionel nodded. "Probably nothing, though."
"All right, who's first?" Cherry asked.
"I volunteer!" Chaz called out.
"Love that enthusiasm!" Lionel replied. "Go for it!"
Chaz soon went to get himself ready as Cherry and Lionel joined the others in the boat. Kira smiled to her husband who gave her a thumb's up that he was ready to go once settled in.
"You can do it, honey!" Kira beamed.
"If we're lucky!" Lionel replied.
The boat soon went off, and almost immediately, Chaz fell into the water.
"Aaaaaand...splashed!" Lionel replied.
"Poor Chaz." Cherry sighed.
Even Kira seemed to face-palm at that.
"He'll be fine." Lionel replied.
The others were soon swimming in the lake as Chuckie was by the rope for the campers to swing on to jump in the water into.
"Go time, Chuckstar!" LJ whooped.
"It's just a rope swing." Kimi added.
"To you, maybe," Chuckie replied. "To me, it's a lethal weapon. Plus, I hate climbing, and I'm afraid of-"
Kimi soon pushed him to go on ahead so the others could have a turn.
"Wonder where the girls are?" LJ pondered.
"Probably getting dolled up." Waffle smiled, taking out a Baby Alive doll for a joke.
Mr. Blik smacked it out of his hand. "Ugh, you know those things are creepy."
"Aww..." Waffle pouted.
Zofia giggled as she soon ran with Zoey to go into the water with the other campers. LJ took a pebble, wound up his arm, and pitched it across the lake surface. Kimberly and Chrissy soon came towards LJ with smiles, standing from both of his sides. LJ looked at both of them...and his eyes nearly shot out of his head.
"My cousin let me borrow this swimsuit," Kimberly said as she wore a pink two piece with hearts on it. "She thought it might look nice on me."
Chrissy's swimsuit looked more like a royal purple dress with her initials on the front and back. LJ nodded ecstatically at this, thumped his foot like a dog and let out a joyful howl, then a wolf whistle.
"As for me, this was made just for me," Chrissy smirked about her own swimsuit. "It makes me look like a princess."
"No denying THAT..." LJ grinned with a bit of drool coming from his mouth.
"Come on, let's go swimming." Kimberly said.
"No! I can't get wet in this!" Chrissy yelped.
"It's a swimsuit?" Gordon replied.
"It's a swimGOWN, genius!" Chrissy told him.
"Then if you weren't gonna swim in it, why'd you wear it?" asked Waffle.
"...Don't judge me." Chrissy crossed her arms.
"Oh, well. I'm going swimming." Kimberly smirked as she went to join the others.
LJ shrugged. "Same here. Cannonball!"
Chrissy backed up against the tree to avoid getting splashed. "Besides, I thought cats hated water?" she then said to Gordon, Waffle, and Mr. Blik.
"Eh, it's a new decade," Gordon shrugged. "You can either evolve or die."
Chrissy gave a small deadpan glance.
"You have a big head." Waffle randomly told Chrissy.
"Whatever..." Chrissy responded.
"C'mon...it won't be as much fun without you!" LJ called. "Surely you can work something out?"
Chrissy looked over and soon took out her bag and put on some protective gear like plastic wrap so she could also get in the water without ruining her swimsuit despite it being made for the water.
"I wonder about that girl sometimes." Zofia commented.
"Same," David replied. "But big bro's never been wrong in his judgement, so I don't say anything about it."
"Aw, that's so good of you, David." Zofia gave a small, proud smile.
Eventually, they were joined by the Eds to have some fun.
"This is already better than the creek back home." Eddy told his friends.
"I suppose," Double D replied. "At least our troubles haven't followed us here."
"Except for one maybe." Eddy narrowed his eyes.
"All right, make way for the coolest kid in town!" Kevin called out as he used the rope swing next.
"Not to mention most humble..." Martin muttered.
Kevin soon swung on the rope and jumped into the water with the others. No one seemed to want anything to do with him, not even Angelica, and they swam away from him.
"Sheesh, tough crowd." Kevin remarked.
Angelica rolled her eyes.
"Hey." Kevin smirked to her.
Angelica snorted. "Get lost, dweeb." she remarked before swimming off.
"She'll come around." Kevin said to himself.
"At least even Angelica has standards." Zofia commented.
"Aye." LJ nodded.
Chuckie yelled out as he soon flew in the air and landed on his father's shoulders.
"...How... How is that..?" Double D muttered. "Not possible!"
"All in the timing, Double D!" Ed replied.
"Um... If you say so, Ed." Double D replied to him.
"Look, son, we're a human pyramid!" Chaz beamed to Chuckie.
"Dorks." Kevin muttered.
"At least he has a connection to his family." Theo shrugged.
Dil soon came out of the water with Bean and gasped. "Whoa, watch out!" he then cried out. "Loch-Ness Monster!"
Dib glanced over. "Waitaminute..."
Chuckie and Chaz seemed to be in trouble now.
"You got my back on this one, right, Bean?" Dil asked his new friend.
Bean didn't say anything to him, but nodded in agreement. Dib rolled his eyes.
It was soon starting to get dark.
"Mm... Grilled chicken sandwich with cheese and bacon..." Zofia smiled as she ate her homemade snack.
"Mm...pizza burger..." LJ drooled as he ate his.
"Peanut butter cheeseburger... How does she do it?" David smiled.
The Schwartz siblings all smiled as they enjoyed their mother's snacks for them.
"Oh...sorry, Kimberly, did you want to share?" LJ asked.
"Sure, wanna try my taquito?" Kimberly smiled.
"Okay!" LJ replied.
They both soon broke off parts of their food and traded them to the other before eating them to try them out.
"Awesome!" LJ exclaimed.
"Hmm... Saucy..." Kimberly smiled. "I've heard of pizza burgers, but I've never actually had one."
"Well, first time for everything!" LJ beamed.
"I think I'll stick to my Caesar Salad... You guys have fun though." Chrissy said to Kimberly and LJ.
"Okay!" The both of them smiled.
"Great, a campfire," Cherry smirked. "Time for my scaaary stories from my childhood!"
The others looked to her in suspense.
"Back in my day, there were other Nicktoons besides SpongeBob Squarepants." Cherry smirked with a flashlight to her face.
The others looked excited and cheered to that.
"But also Angela Anaconda..." Cherry smirked.
"NOOOO!" The others then cried out.
LJ and David clutched each other and screamed in terror. Cherry soon laughed out loud a bit darkly.
Eddy just yawned. "So when do we break out the marshmallows?"
"Sweetie, I put marshmallows in the trunk of the car." Cherry said to Zofia.
"Already on it, Mother." Zofia smiled as she went to the car to get the marshmallows.
Eddy smirked. Zofia then took out some chocolate bars with graham crackers.
"Oh, boy! S'Mores!" Gaz beamed to that. "Who doesn't love S'Mores?"
Dib nodded. Everyone soon had some S'Mores and began to share them around the campfire.
"Auditions are tomorrow and I expect you all there," Chance said, handing out scripts to everyone from the play he talked about earlier, before he excluded three boys from getting the scripts as they were coming to him. "Except for the Ferguson boys."
"Lucky stiffs." Eddy remarked.
"Chance, who's the lead character?" Susie asked.
"Eliza Lockhart." Chance replied.
"That's who I'll be playing!" Angelica smirked.
"YOU WISH!" Susie and Howard replied.
The two girls then looked at Howard in confusion.
"That part is mine, sisters!" Howard huffed.
"...no comment..." Lionel replied.
They soon began to eat the S'Mores and Phil's new friend soon took his S'More before going off, leaving his toe.
"At least the turtle is gone." Theo stated.
"Bye, Shelby, it's been real," Phil waved to the turtle. "...Painful."
"Dumped for a S'More," Chuckie sulked. "I guess love is fickle."
"Call THAT love?" LJ remarked.
"Well, Phil felt so attached to that thing." Chuckie shrugged.
"For whatever crazy reason..." LJ remarked.
"According to the play, the Everwood settlers were migrating Western settlers in the late 1800's when they stopped here to camp," Tommy educated the others. "But, one night, three of them mysteriously disappeared."
"Oh, no! Disappearing pioneers!" Eddy fake-shivered. "SO scary! Yeah, right. I seen scarier stuff in Ed's bedroom."
"What else can you tell us?" Zofia asked Tommy and the others as she sounded curious in the history.
"Well, the rest of the pioneers refused to move on until they found their friends," Lil replied. "So they set up permanent camp at Pioneer Rock, a massive rock shaped like a man's head whose eyes glow when there's a full moon."
"Coolish part is when their horse-covered wagon showed up, there was no one inside." Phil commented.
"Intriguing..." Double D commented.
"Yeah," Zofia smiled. "Gotta love a little history with a little mystery. Mother told us those were the best mysteries she solved with Mystery Inc."
"Dad was a little divisive on most of them." LJ replied.
"Did anyone find the missing settlers?" Chuckie asked.
"No, no, no, but in Westward, No, the missing folks discovered hot springs, opened up the first saloon day spa, and lived wealthily ever after," Chance chuckled. "My own personal spin."
"Nothing says accuracy like a disproportionately happy ending," LJ smirked. "Just ask Anastasia."
"Oh, yeah." Zofia added in agreement.
"But not the real story," Bean spoke up, which was a bit surprising as they never heard him talk until now. "Legend has it, three of the pioneers were off to find food and supplies. Weeks later, there was still no sign of the missing three. Soon, they ran out of food, went mad, and perished on this very soil. Every full moon, we call it the Zombie Moon, their spirits are said to be haunting these grounds, sucking up the brains of the innocent campers that disappear, only to return as zombies, destined for eternity looking for the missing settlers."
"Whoa, looks like Silent Sam finally speaks after all!" remarked David.
"I figured you should know this, because it's very important." Bean replied.
"...sound advice." LJ replied.
There was then suddenly a loud scream which startled everyone.
"Knock it off, Lumpy." Eddy glared.
"That wasn't me, Eddy," Ed smiled innocently before gasping. "Maybe it's Evil Tim?!"
"Be serious, Ed." Dib replied.
"It came from over there." Gaz pointed out.
They went to go to the bathrooms where the scream came from.
Charlotte, wearing a bathrobe and a towel wrapped around her head, was now coming out of the bathroom. "Well, apparently that hot nozzle is just for show." she mumbled to herself as she left the restroom.
"No hot water?" Chrissy groaned.
"Aw, maaaan!" she, Eddy, and Mr. Blik frowned.
Zofia and Zoey frowned to each other in concern.
"I swear, that Chrissy girl feels so familiar..." Cherry said to herself. "...Maybe she just reminds me of Pacifica on a bad day."
"Yeah, except nicer." Lionel smirked.
Everyone soon went back to around the campfire until they would get full and eventually go to sleep.
